ARQUITECTURA Y DISEÑO

Introducing the first collection of art books with detachable prints to decorate your walls. Everything you need to create your own private gallery at home! Nightscapes that range from a fireworks display in Rome by Jacob Philipp Hackert to the Louvre from across a Parisian bridge by Maximilien Luce to a moonlit New York streetlamp by Georgia O'Keeffe. Each book contains a curated selection of twenty-one high-quality reproductions that can be easily removed from the book, framed in a standard-size frame, and displayed in the home. Step-by-step tips for grouping the works to create a harmonious gallery add an interior designer's touch to the ensemble. Graphic, colorful, or abstract; paintings, engravings, or drawings--each work of art is explained on the back of the print. Interesting details about the style of painting, the particular work of art, and biographical information about the artist are accompanied by a "frameable fact" that helps you understand the context of that particular work in the history of art. In addition, suggestions for where you can go to see additional examples of the artists' works allow the reader to expand his or her experience and learning. Artists include Edward Hopper, William Turner, Camille Pissarro, Paul Klee, Claude Monet, Vincent van Gogh, Pierre Bonnard, Giorgio de Chirico, Georgia O'Keeffe, René Magritte, and Wassily Kandinsky.

The first solo book by celebrated interior designer Anthony Baratta, Decorate Happy showcases Baratta's preppy-chic style in a pattern-filled guide to decorating with verve and style. Anthony Baratta's rooms are happy. Whether they are found in the country or the city, these maximalist rooms are designed to make you smile. In his first solo book, Anthony Baratta, whose work has graced more than fifty magazine covers and been celebrated in the Cooper-Hewitt, shares twelve of his most recent houses, all in their own way perfect examples of his classic high-color, high-pattern all-American style. Some nod to the historical importance of centuries past, like an eighteenth-century house in Colonial Williamsburg; some are nautical chic. Some are glorious pop art, with mod rooms and bright primary colors, while others are chicly rustic. Although all the houses are unique, their rooms share one consistent underpinning: joy.
