Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fine. 1st Edition. Scarce. Blue/gray linen covered boards with gilt lettering along the spine. This exceptionally attractive volume is 232 pages in length and features 149 stunning illustrations in full color. The catalogue was published in conjunction with the exhibition of the same title held at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, October 3.2000--January 14, 2001. There is an intriguing section on art in Roman Egypt. Our copy seems unread and is in fine condition. There is a small label. Photographs are available. "Two thousand years ago, the great civilizations of the world were unaware or only dimly conscious of each other. The Year One is the attractively produced catalog of an exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York that brings together art objects created in different parts of the world at the beginning of the first millennium, from Rome to India to China to the Americas. This interesting concept proves too vast for a single exhibition drawn from the collections of a single museum, even the Met's. The essays on the art of different cultures are informative but necessarily too short for their large subjects, though the main introductory essay paints a fascinating picture of a world being drawn together by conquest and trade. The problem is one of choice: narrowing down which cultures should be represented, and by which art works. Beautiful though each one is, the 150 items selected cannot do the job; they have insufficient context and give the impression of being chosen at random. Dividing the objects thematically might have been more successful than geographically--the spectacular Roman landscape frescoes may be a revelation to the reader, but the opportunity to compare contemporary Egyptian or Han Chinese landscapes is not taken. The photography and description of each object is excellent, however, and there is great beauty in this book. Though The Year One fails in its overall purpose, the individual artworks it presents are strong enough aesthetically to stand on their own. --John Stevenson".

"Washington's steady presence and regal confidence more than compensated for his poor performance in the field against British generals, themselves every bit as striking in their mediocrity as he." ~ ''Adams alone saw virtues in monarchy ~ not England's, but one of our own with titles for the men of power (due to his elliptical shape he was dubbed His Rotundity )"~ "If Adams was the loftiest of the scholars at the Continental Congress of 1776, Thomas Jefferson was the most intricate character, gifted as writer, architect; farmer~and, in a corrupt moment, he allowed his cook to give birth to that unique dessert later known as Baked A1aska." ~ Gore Vidal, one of the master stylists of American literature and one of the most acute observers of American life and history, turns his immense literary and historiographic talent to a portrait of the formidable trio of George Washington, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson. In Inventing a Nation, Vidal transports the reader into the minds, the living rooms (and bedrooms), the convention halls, and the salons of Washington, Adams, Jefferson, and other key figures who helped found the American Republic. Vidal's splendid and percipient prose animates key moments of decision in the birthing of our nation, and we come to know these men in ways we have not until now~their opinions of each other, their worries about money, their concerns about creating a viable democracy. Vidal brings them to life and illuminates the force and weight of the documents they wrote, the speeches they gave, and the institutions of government they fashioned. Above all, Inventing a Nation presents a powerful, compassionate, immensely moving portrait of George Washington, whose resolution, integrity, and intelligence rescued the fledgling Republic many times in its early days. This work stands as Gore Vidal's testament to the America he loves and mourns, to its continued promise and its troubled future.

This fine catalogue was published in conjunction with the exhibition "The Dawn of Egyptian Art" on view at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, from April 10 to August 5, 2012. Photographs available upon request. "The cultural icons of Pharaonic Egypt, from the Great Sphinx at Giza to the famous burial of Tutankhamun, are among the world's most renowned works of art. Less well known, but equally impressive, are the rare and ancient images of people, animals, and landscapes made by the Egyptians who lived prior to the age of the pharaohs, when the formal conventions of Egyptian art had not yet fully evolved. With illustrations of more than 180 objects created from about 4000 to 2650 BC, Dawn of Egyptian Art presents the art forms and iconography in which the early Egyptians recorded their beliefs about the land where they lived, the yearly events that took place there, and what they thought was important to the eternal survival of their world. Comprehensive texts explore the origins and early development of the culture of ancient Egypt while discussing the relationship between image and writing as well as the representation of the self and the universe".
