Book Description
Visual art in the period following World War II witnessed landmark transformations. Today, drawing provides a powerful and vigorous device for reexamining the art of that period, and for renewing appreciation of the extraordinary achievements of well-known artists--and for discovering others. Even though the art of these years saw radical departures and shifts, drawing, which is among the most traditional of media, played a crucial and consistent role in the work of a great majority of the most significant artists. Drawing from the Modern, 1945-1975, surveys the drawing of the period through the unparalleled holdings of the drawings collection of The Museum of Modern Art. The postwar period saw the development of Abstract Expressionism in New York, followed by Pop art, Minimal art, and Conceptual art, and the Museum's collection has exceptional strength in these areas. Abstract drawings by Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, and Barnett Newman open this volume, followed by works by such key figures as Jasper Johns, Ellsworth Kelly, and Cy Twombly. Next, drawings by Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg, and Andy Warhol signal the arrival of a new figurative art at the forefront of creativity. But reductive and abstract art kept pace, and the Museum's collection offers a breathtaking array of drawings by Carl Andre, Dan Flavin, Eva Hesse, Sol LeWitt, Brice Marden, Agnes Martin, Richard Serra, and numerous others. What constitutes "progress" in art is questioned today, and it is no longer possible to see the development of art as a straight line, with synchronicity among places and geographies. But drawing, by its very nature, encourages established understandings to be examined and accepted values to be reappraised. Many of the artists represented here defy easy categorization, including Lee Bontecou, Louise Bourgeois, Vija Celmins, Bruce Conner, Ray Johnson, Jim Nutt, and Myron Stout. The resurgence of European art is represented by drawings by Georg Baselitz, Joseph Beuys, Marcel Broodthaers, Piero Manzoni, Henri Michaux, Mario Merz, and Sigmar Polke, among others. A number the most important artists working in Latin America in the postwar period are also represented, including Jorge de la Vega, Gego, LeAn Ferrari, Halio Oiticica, and Mira Schendel. While neither the collection nor this volume is encyclopedic, the spirit and achievements of postwar art are distilled and amply celebrated here.

should have been better.......2007-09-13
I purchased book 1 & 2 from Amazon. The illustrations are far too small to be a professionally represented art book from MOMA I've decided to save my money rather than pay out for the 3rd edition. It sounds a good buy from its description but I don't consider this trilogy to be very satisfactory.
Don't waste your money!.......2007-08-09
This is not a good artbook. The images are way too small to be satisfying. This book could have been great, but falls way short of its potential. Don't buy it, you will be disappointed.
DRAWING from the MODERN.......2006-12-27
DRAWING from the MODERN is the first of a three part series published by MOMA as catalogue to accompany the chronologically arranged exhibitions of their drawing collection; in part, celebration of the seventy fifth anniversary of the founding of the Museum.
This first book looks at the late nineteenth century through the beginning of the twentieth. Care and preservation of these drawings dictate that they are displayed infrequently, paper being a delicate medium, subject to fading, discoloration and brittleness. The publication of this series then allows us to have at hand a history of drawings seldom seen, and a visual education demonstrating how problems of that era both evolved and worked themselves out.
The introduction by Jodi Hauptman is broad and well worth reading. Aside from her entertaining "end of art" stories, she addresses artists and process leading to the dissolution of prevalent notions: relationship of "mark" to "ground", took new form; spatial notions of an orderly page, questioned; the element of chance, explored as process; the ego relationship of an artist to work, dissolving. New imagery happened: collage, abstraction, grids, enhanced emotions, metaphors of feeling, the sublime re-imaged. New subjects explored brutalities of war, notions of "city", identity, the spiritual, and the abstract.
As perhaps with all process of art, the uncertainty of change brought forth much that is new. The 139 plates of drawings both demonstrate and give testimony by leading artists of the time to new era in process. Drawing as subject matter is fascinating. To be expected, the book is well printed. Of course, what is book one without book two and three?

Book Description
One of the leading proponents of the Pop Art movement, Jasper Johns culled his source material from popular culture with a preoccupation for the enigmatic character of everyday objects, language and numeric systems. This modest volume reviews the artist's broad career via his works on paper and plastic, surveying 30 objects spanning the years 1955-2001, charting his interests, techniques and aesthetic evolution.

perfect.......2006-05-01
Well what can i say? Kate Moss is by far my favourite supermodel of all time. Her beuaty and ability to change herself into someone else in every photo is amazing. Although some may say oh it's just photos , these photos are amazing and capture storylines and the early six years of her amazing career , a collaboration with photographers , stylist , make up artist etc. Kate Moss includes a witty introduction for the book ending it with a witty: p.s : i am just on my way out to dinner to eat a massive steak and loads of fattening potatoes , with loads of butter. What a brilliant ladies. The photos captured go from her early days to now - 1995. Theres also some baby pictures of Kate .. and from when she was 13 and stuff. Brilliant perfect and Kate Moss autographs it .. of course it is noly photocopied
kate moss .......2006-02-24
this book is a beautiful colletion of rare and mainly unseen pictures of this truly amazing creature known as kate moss.
FAN-tastic Book; Beware of Small Size .......2005-11-29
I originally bought "Kate" in the bookstore in its full-sized edition. I lost the book in a move, and bought a replacement online, only to discover that it was much smaller than the one I originally had. If you are looking for the full-sized version, make sure it is larger than the smaller one (smaller is 0.5 x 6.5 x 8.5 inches).
That aside, even with the smaller size (which is nice as well), this book is the ultimate for Kate Moss fans. Heck, it's a fantastic book for photography lovers all around. It contains pages upon pages of hundreds of photographs of Ms. Moss, most of which cannot be found anywhere else anymore.
Buy this book!
SuperModel Kate Moss........2004-10-07
Kate Moss is the most beautiful woman in the world, without a doubt.
There are some photographs in the book "Kate" that have been tampered with, as some of the images seek to embarass her, either way it is still a great book, she is beautiful and still is more and more gorgeous every "ad" campaign she is in to this day.
The Book is a photo book of Kate Moss, it also contains the "Obsession" campaign. I had to order this book but I used it everyday for a couple of years as I was doing a double Major in Graphic Design and Computer Graphic Design this book helped me to pass.
sensational!.......2002-11-28
kate: the kate moss book is the best retrospective of kate moss's work up until 1995, when it was released. it's packed with images of kate from birth to the age of twenty-one. there are pictures shot at home, by the papparazi, and for magazines and clothing companies. the book includes many never-before-seen photos of kate, especially those taken by corrine day of the face magazine between 1989 (when kate was only fifteen) and 1992. there are nudes, glamour shots, and pictures of kate doing what she is best at, being herself. there are also photos of fellow supermodels christy turlington and naomi campbell. basically, this book is phenomenal and if you can buy it, i strongly recommend you do.

Book Description
The girls' first summer term is here, and Ellie Brown and friends can't wait to kick up their heels again. They are even more excited when they learn that two former RBS students, now world-famous dancers, will be filming a documentary at the school! Everyone is thrilled for the opportunity to meet the dancers and star on film—except Kate. Ellie doesn't understand why Kate seems so distressed. When the girls learn why, the truth is shocking—and teaches them that true friendship prevails even when circumstances are not as they seemed.

Another wonderful read in the series.......2006-07-18
In the fifth installment of The Royal Ballet School Diaries, the girls' start their first summer term. Ellie and her friends are thrilled when they learn that two past R.B.S. students, who are now world- renowned dancers, will be filming a documentary at the school. Everyone is ecstatic for the opportunity to meet the dancers and get a chance to be on film -- except for Kate. Ellie doesn't understand why and tries to find out. The girls are shocked to learn why, but with Ellie around, no one can be upset for long. This is just another example of how to be a good friend and realize that some problems are not as bad as they seem. As usual with the series, it is a good story about ballet and friends. Everyone will enjoy this book, and also the series. And as I stated in my previous reviews in the series, the only thing that I don't care for in The R.B.S. Diaries are that at times they can sound like a R.B.S. advertisement. Other than that, it is highly enjoyable!
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good.......2006-05-22
This book is so good! It's my favorite so far. As I was reading it, I just couldn't put it down! My mouth was wide open in shock as I read it. I think anyone who reads this book will just absolutly love it, even if you don't dance. The only thing is that you have to read the other 4 before reading this one, otherwise it'll be hard to follow. Hey, it is a series!
good book.......2005-10-20

Book Description
The turbulent times of one of the world's most beautiful women.
Kate Moss entered the modeling scene with a force that belied her fragile frame. Discovered completely by chance at New York's JFK airport, Moss was propelled to international stardom with her waif-like figure and hauntingly seductive features, launching the infamous "heroin chic" look that dominated the modeling world of the nineties. But living the fast-paced life of an international sex symbol took its toll, and Moss spiraled down into the chaotic celebrity lifestyle of nonstop partying that landed her first in the tabloids, then in rehab. Here, for the first time, is the shocking true story of the passion and pain hiding behind one of the most famous faces in the world.
Customer Reviews:
The author..........2007-01-06
of this book is one of the greatest authors ever for unauthorized biographies of super models who used to be famous.
I read the book, it was very informative, I liked it.
Title should have been- Kate's Ex Boyfriend.......2006-03-26
This book should be called "Johnny Depp" because it is more about her relationship with him than about herself. I expected a biography on her life but it's about how this super-waif got famous and then those who made her famous turned against her. Then the rest of the book was about her unhappy relationship with Johnny Depp. I really like Kate Moss and would like to have read a book about her...not her ex-boyfriend.
so-so story of iconic model.......2006-03-22
my friends all just read this and we're all disappointed in it, maybe someone who knows less about kate moss would get more from it. it IS articulate and factual, and it's not that it's BAD writing, it just didn't give us anything new to talk about. i wish there were other biographies - even if totally sensationalized! - about kate moss out there!
my recommendation? maybe a good beach-time or bus-ride read, but don't expect anything revealing.
mediocre at best.......2006-03-21
My friends and I just read this as part of our new "Fashion-Group Book Club"...I didn't dislike it as much as they did, but it does give one reason to marvel at how much completely unspectacular writing and recycled bollocks make it to publication. It even came to us recommended so I'm surprised at how just-not-good it is. Even the pictures, the best part, are all ones I swear I've seen a million times before. So, if you're looking for photos of Kate, I remember a book that came out on her in the nineties, a lot more expensive of course, but that one was excellent. "Model of Imperfection": not recommended!
just not a very good book.......2006-03-20
my friends and i just chose this for our monthly fashion-oriented book club (we've previously enjoyed easily appropriate selections like "the devil wears prada", etc.) and were unanimously disapointed (they all are about to write their own reviews here, though). maybe this could be good for someone who isn't already a Kate fan, or has never heard such things about models doing drugs or being too skinny - like people who live in a bio-sphere or something. i guess i just expected more indepth info - like, how about a FREAKIN' INTERVIEW WITH KATE HERSELF! - from an author who ran "the web's most popular Kate Moss site" for like 5 years. some "fan"!

Book Description
This astounding collaboration between designer lingerie house Agent Provocateur and Kate Moss breaks new ground. These genius innovators in haute couture commissioned Mike Figgis to portray Moss in her first acting role, resulting in four unique online films: Shadows, Scale, Exhibitionist, and Narcissus—The Four Dreams of Miss X. Shot in night vision, these films are intensely intimate: a beautiful woman's private dream experiences. Each film was released online periodically over the last year. Enticing readers into the dusky world of Miss X, the book presents both the scripts and stunning images from the films, as well as a unique DVD featuring all four dreams. This is a must-have purchase for fans of Kate Moss, film, and gorgeous photography.

Book Description
This innovative and pioneering new book establishes links between crime reduction and the law, uniquely offering a detailed examination of how specific legislation and performance targets aid or undermine attempts at crime reduction.
Providing a sustained analysis, this ground-breaking book considers the social policy, politics and legislation that surround and drive the crime reduction agenda. It analyzes:
- the creation of 'safe environments' through Town and Country Planning legislation
- the role of local authorities in crime reduction initiatives
- the nature of drug policy, paedophilia legislation and programs to control mental disorder crime.
Bringing together the work of internationally renowned experts in this field, this book will prove very useful to students of criminology and sociology, as well as crime prevention and reduction practitioners, police officers and community safety partnership professionals.
