As the turn of the 18th and 19th century approached in Great Britain, more and more parents and teachers embraced a suggestion from the philosopher John Locke, that “learning might be made a play and recreation to children.” Georgian and Victorian Board Games: The Liman Collection beautifully demonstrates board games from the time. Showcasing 55 such games that were made for both instruction and delight, the book reflects on a trans-Atlantic market that flourished into and through the 19th century. Although games were often printed on linen or board instead of delicate paper, many fell apart thanks to enthusiastic use. But those that do survive open a window onto the time period in which they were created, reflecting its social and moral priorities as well as nearly every educational subject. Georgian and Victorian Board Games: The Liman Collection enables us to follow the course of the Industrial Revolution and the expansion of the British Empire alongside changing attitudes toward childhood and education—shining a light on a corner of children’s culture and the adults that created it.

Paris In Color By Nichole Robertson

Notorious as a refuge for the eccentric, the eclectic, and the creative, the Hotel Chelsea has been home to some of the great and unconventional writers, musicians, artists, and actors of the past century, including Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, Charles Bukowski, and Allen Ginsberg, to name just a few. When the hotel was sold and closed for full renovations in August 2011, American photographer Victoria Cohen was invited to capture and document the essence of the building’s original interior before it’s imminent demise. Cohen’s photographs of these hallways, lobbies, and rooms, once beaming with life and vision, now bare and aged, illuminate a bohemian era that once was, speaking untold truths of a lost time. Fascinating and bittersweet, Hotel Chelsea casts the historic landmark through the lens of the twenty-first century, exhibiting it as it has never been seen before, and will never be seen again.

“In 1977, the world was ready for something new,” writes Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) president and founder Paula Wallace. “All around us, dreamers were dreaming up new ideas: Star Wars, the Clash, Apple. I was nearing thirty and ... wondered if I could do more.” Nearly forty years later, SCAD has become one of the largest and most highly regarded arts universities in the world.
An engaging, moving, and inspiring memoir, The Bee and the Acorn traces the journey of Wallace and her family to the historic Georgia coastal town of Savannah, where they set about creating a new university for the arts. The tiny college would be a radically different kind of institution, buzzing with progressive ideas about what a college could be and what it should do for students, changing the face of higher education.

Paula Wallace is the president and founder of the Savannah College of Art and Design. Wallace earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Furman University and Master of Education and Education Specialist degrees from Georgia State University; she also was awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws from Gonzaga University. She has authored several children’s books and two interior design titles: Perfect Porches and A House in the South. Among her many honors, she has been named one of the world’s “30 Most Admired Educators” by DesignIntelligence and “Entrepreneur of the Year” by Ernst & Young, and was awarded the inaugural Elle Decor Vision Award, and has been appointed a Chevalier dans l’Ordre des Palmes Académiques by the French Embassy in the U.S. She currently serves on the National Advisory Board of the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C. Wallace enjoys spending time with her husband and her four children.
Established in 1978, the Savannah College of Art and Design is a private, nonprofit, accredited university, offering more than 100 academic degree programs in 42 majors at locations in Atlanta and Savannah, Georgia; Hong Kong; Lacoste, France; and online via SCAD eLearning. SCAD enrolls more than 12,000 undergraduate and graduate students from more than 100 countries. The school’s innovative curriculum is enhanced by professional-level technology, equipment, and learning resources, as well as opportunities for internships, professional certifications, and collaborative projects with corporate partners. In 2014, the prestigious Red Dot Design Rankings placed SCAD in the top ten universities in the Americas and Europe.

Paris, Before It Is Too Late is a curated selection of 60 vintage photographs by the French photographer André Ostier. Spanning the career of Ostier from his days in Paris during World War II through the 1960s and 1970s, these striking images capture the City of Light through his eyes, and instill a certain sense of nostalgia. The famous fashion photographer known for his work with the couturier Christian Dior sought to document a fleeting Old Paris by capturing its people, buildings, and the special moments of the city he so admired. Part of the book is a replica of an album Ostier put together himself, Paris, avant qu’il ne soit trop tard, but the book also includes a specially curated selection of rare and haunting images he took during the war.

The insatiable visual curiosity of the Paris photographer André Ostier (1906–1994) led him to capture a wealth of images during his lifetime. Known for his portraits of artists and writers, Ostier also chronicled the fancy-dress balls of the glamourous 1950s and 1960s. In this work, Thomas Michael Gunther, the Paris-based historian of photography, takes a close look at the passion and conviction that characterize André Ostier’s views of the City of Light.

A Life of Things presents the eccentric world of Daniel Rozensztroch and his innumerable collections of everyday things, which encompass the worlds of art, antiques, found objects, and everything in between. Collected over years of traveling the world, the obsessive collections of objects range from the ordinary to the sublime, and include hundreds of toothbrushes, glass globes for lace making, sailor iconography, vases from the Jin dynasty, tin frames, Christmas ornaments, and Japanese folk art. Photographed in their settings in his apartments in Paris and Nice, France, the book allows for a fascinating look into the two homes as cabinets of curiosities. As Rozensztroch explains, “A collection can be three or 300 objects and the subject of this book is how I see them as being related to each other and how I live with them and appreciate them every day.”

The Kabbalistic idea of creation, as expressed through light, space, and geometry, has left its unmistakable mark on our civilization. Drawing upon a wide array of historical materials and stunning images of contemporary art, sculpture, and architecture, architect Alexander Gorlin explores the influence, whether actually acknowledged or not, of the Kabbalah on modern design in his unprecedented book, Kabbalah in Art and Architecture. Gorlin brings light to the translation of the mystical philosophy into a physical form, drawing clear comparisons between philosophy and design that will excite and exalt. Comprising ten chapters that each outline key concepts of the Kabbalah and its representations, both in historic diagrams and the modern built environment, Kabbalah in Art and Architecture puts forth an unparalleled and compelling reinterpretation of art and architecture through the lens of the Kabbalah and Jewish mysticism. A chapter on the Golem, and an epilogue that discusses German artist Anselm Kiefer’s powerful interpretations of the Kabbalah, complete this unique book.

How To Decorate

Published in conjunction with the tenth year of the New York-based showhouse Holiday House, this book highlights the best and brightest rooms created by some of the world’s leading designers. Holiday House: Ten Years of Decorating for a Cure is a celebration of the union of design and philanthropy. The Holiday House Showhouse was founded by Iris Dankner to raise breast cancer awareness in the design industry. Iris is a 20-year breast cancer survivor, and has made it her mission to raise funds for breast cancer research and to support women who need help fighting this disease. In 2008, combining her two passions—her love of design and her efforts to help women in need—Iris created Holiday House, the first designer showhouse held in New York to benefit a breast cancer organization. In this lavish book, the magic and skill of interior designers come to life as empty rooms are transformed by a variety of interpretations. Recruiting top interior designers in the New York area, the showhouse was held in the Academy Mansion, an historic house on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, and was a resounding success, with all proceeds donated to the quest to end the scourge of breast cancer. Since its inception, Holiday House has featured the foremost interior designers in the industry, received critical acclaim, been endorsed by some of the most celebrated global luxury brands, and has expanded to showhouses in the Hamptons on Long Island, Soho in downtown Manhattan and, in the Fall of 2017 in London, England.

Vintage Mccall's Patterns Notecards By Chronicle Books

Influential American celebrity photographer and creative director Matthew Rolston turns his eye for portraiture to a new cast of characters with the launch of Talking Heads, The Vent Haven Portraits. Using techniques he has honed over decades of celebrity portraiture, and marking his first foray into the world of fine arts, Rolston has captured the inherent humanity of a never-before-seen collection of unique entertainment figures: ventriloquism dummies. Unearthed from the tiny Vent Haven Museum in Fort Mitchell, Kentucky, Rolston uses a rigorously simplistic photographic style to bring out the power in the faces of these figures through a series of 100 portraits, or “headshots.”

Matthew Rolston painstakingly selected the faces he was most drawn to and, in particular, those that conveyed a sense of character through pronounced aging, exaggerated features, and ornately painted faces, drawing the eye directly to the face and to the bizarre human quality of each dummy. Breathing life into these inanimate figures, Rolston channels their sustained energetic presences that are at once commanding, totemic, and unnervingly familiar.
