Synopsis Whale Tales by : Wyland

Dive in... as Wyland, the world's leading environmental marine life artist, takes you on a captivating journey through his early days as a starving artist, his role in pioneering a bold new art movement & on a roller coaster tour of what may be the most ambitious project ever undertaken by a single artist. How did a son of Detroit auto workers break out of an industrial world to become a successful artist anyway? Why did he choose whales as his subjects? What has he seen in the countless dives that have placed him eye to eye with the largest & most mysterious creatures on earth? What's it like to stand on a scaffold 200 feet in the air & paint anatomically correct portraits of these majestic leviathans while awestruck citizens - both young & old - watch the sides of some of their most ordinary buildings transform right before their eyes into beautiful blue oceans teeming with colorful marine life? WHALE TALES answers these questions & much more through a series of Wyland's best stories - from both above & below the surface. Painting a ceiling in Japan on his back, creating the largest mural in the world, completing an entire whaling wall in the middle of the night, painting 17 murals, in 17 cities, in 17 weeks... each is a whale of a tale!

Synopsis Chromatopia by : David Coles

This origin story of history’s most vivid color pigments is perfect for artists, history buffs, science lovers, and design fanatics. Did you know that the Egyptians created the first synthetic color and used it to create the famous blue crown of Queen Nefertiti? Or that the noblest purple comes from a predatory sea snail? In the Roman Empire, hundreds of thousands of snails had to be sacrificed to produce a single ounce of dye. Throughout history, pigments have been made from deadly metals, poisonous minerals, urine, cow dung, and even crushed insects. From grinding down beetles and burning animal bones to alchemy and pure luck, Chromatopia reveals the origin stories behind over fifty of history’s most vivid color pigments. Featuring informative and detailed color histories, a section on working with monochromatic color, and “recipes” for paint-making, Chromatopia provides color enthusiasts with an eclectic story of how synthetic colors came to be. Red lead, for example, was invented by the ancient Greeks by roasting white lead, and it became the dominant red in medieval painting. Spanning from the ancient world to modern leaps in technology, and vibrantly illustrated throughout, this book will add a little chroma to anyone’s understanding of the history of colors.

Synopsis The Art and Works of a Visionary by : John Pitre

Born in 1942 & educated in the fine arts at the prestigious Art Students League in New York City, John Pitre evolved to become America's leading surrealist & social commentary painter, selling more prints world wide than any other artist. Pitre gained extraordinary popularity during the 60s & 70s painting daring themes, such as overpopulation, the threat of drugs, the potential of modern plagues & the ecological deterioration of our planet well before they became obvious problems of our times. His social commentary paintings are now considered twentieth century classics sought after by prominent collectors world wide. From his early days as an art student Pitre was fascinated with the most challenging & difficult of all the classical art forms to execute "Surrealism." With brush & oils as a vehicle he created powerful imagined worlds, evoking emotion & response in his viewers more so than any other medium. Utilizing this early foundation he also became a prolific inventor, holding patents in many fields. His thorough study of human anatomy in the arts gave him the insight to create some of the world's most advanced & respected exercise equipment. Other creations include devices for generating electricity from the movement of waves & currents of the sea, a more versatile paint for artists & an aircraft design that he has personally built & flown. To order: Pitre Fine Arts, Inc., 4224 Waialae Avenue, Suite 5-308, Honolulu, HI 96816-5307. 808-942-2290, FAX: 808-943-0769. E-mail: [email protected]; web site: http://onhawaii.com/pitre.
