Hardcover

by Anne Geddes

2011 USA Best Book Awards to Anne Geddes! Beginnings Hardcover book 1st place Photography: General Beginnings E-Book 1st Place E-Book: Non-Fiction Award-winning photographer Anne Geddes founded a new tradition in visual storytelling and captivated an international audience. Now, after spending 12 months photographing, Anne reveals a range of images that are, in her own words, among the most personally rewarding she has ever created. A beautiful gift book with more than 140 never-before-published photographs, BEGINNINGS will be released worldwide on 10.10.10 in countries including, the United States, Canada, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Brazil, Australia and New Zealand. “I have always been fascinated by elements of nature at the moment of transformation,” comments Anne. “Babies are the human face of beginnings, but all of nature is caught in this insistent stream of seasons, of aging and rebirth, of concealment and bursting forth. Every time I unwrap a newborn, even after all these years of photographing them, I am aware of the miracle before me. This book, Beginnings, took me on a journey of discovery to reveal these everyday miracles of nature, these complementary wonders, in imagery.” Continuing in the tradition that has made her one of the most sought-after and popular photographers in the world, in BEGINNINGS , Anne Geddes presents the simple and elegant elements of nature as we have never seen them before. With her camera, she has conceived a fresh story about the delicate and powerful mystery of new life that will inspire nature lovers just as surely as her images of babies have captured the imaginations of people around the globe. She reveals the intricate beauty of birds’ nests, the delicacy of eggs, and the glorious color hidden inside the tight, unopened petals of a blossom before it blooms. Then, she expands on her visual metaphor to reveal surprising and illuminating juxtapositions of beginnings in floral and human forms. Once again, Anne Geddes draws our eye to celebrate those treasures worth nurturing and protecting. Told in a language of love that is understood by so many cultures and people of all ages, BEGINNINGS is sure to transcend boundaries, as her other internationally bestselling books have done.

Hardcover

"A guide to the world's greatest illustrators. Illustration has long suffered at the hands of even the most well-informed art critic. ""Mere illustration"" - the most common derogatory remark leveled at paintings that have sought to express or convey an idea - says it all. The cliche is both absurd and meaningless, especially today, when many artists refuse to recognize the artificial barrier between commercial and fine art. Moreover, it does not necessarily follow than an artist working to a brief is litter more than a hack. Granted, some are, but the professional illustrator is the modern counterpart of the Renaissance painter, an artist who will frequently transcend the most mundane of briefs to provide the mass audience with art. 15 cm x 20 cm 320 page softcover."
