Gerald is absolutely right: this book is wonderful. TASCHEN is probably one of the greatest art editors around and always comes up with great ideas, such as this book who shows-- let's say-- a "hidden" side of Chagall's great talent. There are in fact few people who know that Chagall also mastered the art of tapestry, and this book allows you yo discover the art of tapestry to perfection. Everything in that book is so perfect: the format, the price, the quality of impression, the interesting information... It makes a cute little gift. Once again, excellent work for TASCHEN! I hope that many Chagall fans will discover this great book.

What a delight to discover an aspect of Chagall's iconology that has only rarely been spotlighted as it is here. Jacob Ball-Teshuva's text is insightful snd very readable (which not every art book can say) and I'm pleased that due attention and credit is shown toward tapestry-weaver Yvette Couquil-Prince. A word about the illustrations. So often one sees how color plates can "suffer in the translation". These, however, are dazzling. This book is superlative. Great things can indeed come in small packages. I recommend this title to anyone interested in the art of Marc Chagall and/or the art and craft of tapestry.

This book gives a detailed account of Tiffanys works in most of the mediums he chose. The photographs are gorgeous.

This is truly the most fabulous book on Tiffany's works,including many illustrations of works not previously seen.  As a Tiffany book collector, I know that Nuestadt's book may have more lamps illustrated, but none have the incomparable colors and qualities as the images in this book.  They are truly magnificent pictures (over 400 color plates)on a black ackground and are of the same quality as Sotheby & Christie's catalog pictures.  Tiffany at Auction by Alastair Duncan may be a collectors item, but having seen it, most of the pictures in that book are in black and white and do not begin to compare with this book.  While the Sotheby and & Christie catalogs display beautiful pictures, they only show what people choose to sell, unlike this book that shows treasures that I have never before seen in any of the books or catalogs that I have collected.But this book has so much more.  Almost every lamp picture has a close up of the actual pattern.  As a stained glass worker, these close ups are sufficient for you to reproduce the design.  The outstanding and superlative index at the rear contains small thumbnails of each work of art in the book with illuminating information and page number shown for easy access to the item.  Actual copies of the Tiffany factory workbooks,similar to Nash's new Tiffany Notebook book, are included in this book.
Of course, this book also has the requisite biography of Tiffany.  One third of book is biography and windows, second third is lamps, and last third is vases, index and bibliography.
You will NOT be disappointed in this book - it's the best that is available as far as I am concerned.

This book is an excellent piece of work. Expertly written and illustrated with an array of beatifully taken colour photographs. This book is a must have for any fan of Calder's work. Superb.

This book contains not only gorgeous full-color plates of Chagall's work, but also contains a highly readable history of his life and analysis of his work.

This and other books on the same topic is a must for people especily kids who have a big and good imagination ! if Christo covered Mt. Everest in cavas and fermly tied down with rope it will amaze evreyone who sees it and it will be easy to climb just hold onto the ropes !

I'm not sure what this other reviewer is talking about, it has to be for another book and it ended up here. This isn't really a "book" it's just a bunch of stickers. They're nice stickers though - little reproductions of some of Chagall's artwork. Pretty high-quality as far as stickers go.

This is the most wonderful book about Chagall I've ever seen. The colorful and beautiful illustrations made me so exciting. The colors are fantastic compared with other books about Chagall. I recommend this book for any Chagall fan confidently. Though it has something to be desired because of being written in Spanish instead of English, this is only for you!

This is an extraordinary book for every Chagall fan. The quality of illustrations is just wonderful, and if you had only one book to buy on Chagall, this is the one! Don't worry, its not heavy at all; in fact, I would have added more and more pages of never-been-seen work of this incredible artist. The illustrations are colorful, vivid and beautiful, and the biography is very well written and complete. Strongly recommended!
