Book by Michael Sowa
We love Michael Sowa's artwork. With a bit of whimsy mixed with philosophy and thoughtfulness, he often provides us with sleepless nights - just wondering what the story behind them image might be!
From the imaginative mind of artist Michael Sowa, this delightful card will surely enchant any dog or music lover! From the famous RCA advertisements, Their Master's Voice features a theatre full of dogs (mostly the same terrier that the RCA advertisement starred) and a few others. Most are listening to the gramophone on stage, but, as usual with dogs (and people, too), some are not! Sowa's art evokes wonder and amazement; a mix of surrealism and comic illustration, of humor and seriousness.

Attributable in part to Brazil, Spain and Argentina, and dating back to the 19th century, the tango is generally considered to be based on a folk dance of Argentina called milonga. This was a dance fitted to an old Spanish song that claims Moorish and Arabic ancestry as well as Spanish.
Introduced into North America in the early part of this century, the tango achieved immediate popularity which ahs lasted up to the present day.
It is distinctive and highly stylized The tango atmosphere is much sought after, and attention to styling even in its basic form, will make a great difference in the dancer's appearance and enjoyment.

Art Postcard - The Lost Chord
Arthur Sullivan (of the famed Gilbert and Sullivan) composed the music for The Lost Chord as he sat at his brother Fred's beside, during his last days. The words were written by Adelaide A. Proctor. Known for its grandeur and eloquence, The Lost Chord is often represented by the young woman playing the the pipe organ with a choir of angels accompanying her.
Seated one day at the organ, I was weary and ill at ease, And my fingers wandered idly Over the noisy keys; I know not what I was playing, Or what I was dreaming then, But I struck one chord of music, Like the sound of a great Amen, Like the sound of a great Amen.
It flooded the crimson twilight, Like the close of an angel’s psalm, And it lay on my fevered spirit, With a touch of infinite calm, It quieted pain and sorrow, Like love overcoming strife, It seemed the harmonious echo From our discordant life, It linked all the perplexed meanings Into one perfect peace, And trembled away into silence, As if it were loath to cease; I have sought but I seek it vainly, That one lost chord divine, Which came from the soul of the organ, And entered into mine.
It may be that death’s bright angel Will speak in that chord again; It may be that only in Heav’n I shall hear that great Amen. It may be that death’s bright angel Will speak in that chord again; It may be that only in Heav’n I shall hear that great Amen

The Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci - Volumes I & II
More Books
More da Vinci
His works are so well respected, that in the mid-1990's Bill Gates bought one of his notebooks for a record $80.3 million!
Scientist, painter, mechanical engineer, sculptor, thinker, city planner, storyteller, musician, architect - Leonardo da Vinci, builder of the first flying machine, was one of the great universal geniuses of Western civilization. His voluminous notebooks, the great storehouse of his theories and discoveries, are presented here in 1566 extracts that reveal the full range of Leonardo's versatile interests: all the important writings on painting, sculpture, architecture, anatomy, astronomy, geography, topography and other fields are included, in both Italian and English, with 186 plates of manuscript pages and many other drawings reproduced in facsimile size.
The first volume, which contains all of Leonardo's writings on aspects of painting, includes discussions of such basic scientific areas as the structure of the eye and vision, perspective, the science of light and shade, the perspective of disappearance, theory of color, perspective of color, proportions and movements of the human figure, botany for painters and the elements of landscape painting. A section on the practice of painting includes moral precepts for painters and writings on composition, materials and the philosophy of art.
The second volume contains writings on sculpture, architecture (plans for towns, streets and canals, churches, palaces, castles and villas, theoretical writings on arches, domes, fissures, etc.), zoology, physiology (including his amazingly accurate theories of blood circulation), medicine, astronomy, geography (including his famous writings and drawings on the movement of water), topography (observations in Italy, France and other areas), naval warfare, swimming, theory of flying machines, mining, music and other topics.
A selection of philosophical maxims, morals, polemics, fables, jests, studies in the lives and habits of animals, tales and prophecies display Leonardo's abilities as a writer and thinker. The second volume also contains some letters, personal records, inventories and accounts and concludes with Leonardo's will.
The drawings include sketches and studies for some of the master's greatest works of art - The Last Supper, the lost Battle of Anghiari, The Virgin of the Rocks and the destroyed Sforza monument.
This set of 2 trade paperback volumes includes a total of xlvii + 866 pages and includes over 700 illustrations. There are reference tables to the numerical order of the chapters. Appendices include the history of the manuscripts as well as a bibliography of the manuscripts.
Pages are bound in signatures in the method traditionally used for the best books and will not drop out. The books open flat for easy reference and the binding will not crack or split. Paper is opaque, with minimal show-through and will not discolor or become brittle with age.
