Editorial : "Displayed in a large-size, high-quality trade paper volume are over 100 prints from the collection of the noted collector Robert O. Muller (d. 2003) which have been bequeathed to the Sackler Gallery of the Smithsonian Institution. Besides the artist, name, and date for each print, there are informative annotations on the career of the artist and the subject and style of the print. Most of the prints are in the 20th-century Japanese style of "shin-hanga binga," whose artists were "struggling to acknowledge tradition and at the same time transcend it." Introductory essays cover Muller as an influential collector and place the prints in the context of Japanese artistic traditions. The varied aspects of the text, including a "Glossary," provide a historical overview of Japanese prints as well as a representative catalog of prints from the Muller collection of more than four thousand."--Midwest Book Review

Robert O. Muller's exquisite taste and critical attitude has resulted in a collection in the finest imaginable condition. The Arthur M. Sackler Gallery of Art staged the first major exhibition from this collection in the months of Nove
The illustrations lead you to believe that the guy has a hard time drawing himself. I have learned new techniques and reinforced old ones. So, she tells the earl she's pregnant - she's not - she's actually only pregnant with a cushion.
In the meantime the duke's mistress kills him and the duchess is free. It's an ambitious undertaking trying to compile a cohesive "history" of GLBT-themed films through the past 60+ years. My two-year old son is crazy about trucks and construction vehicles, and this book is right up his alley. Overall, I highly recommend this book.. The question is asked on each page : "Where's The Cat?" A visual clue (part of the cat's body) is shown on each page. I loved all the short stories by authors I had not read before.. America needs a lot more admirals like Bud Zumwalt, now more than ever. I will first start by saying this Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band is a funky, loud, hard hitting big band, and it shows in their music. If it had been more interes
