Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. From acclaimed historian Richard Norton Smith comes the definitive life of an American icon: Nelson Rockefeller--one of the most complex and compellin g figures of the twentieth century. Fourteen years in the making, this magisterial biography of the original Ro ckefeller Republican draws on thousands of newly available documents and ov er two hundred interviews, including Rockefeller's own unpublished reminisc ences. Grandson of oil magnate John D. Rockefeller, Nelson coveted the White House from childhood. "When you think of what I had," he once remarked, "what el se was there to aspire to?" Before he was thirty he had helped his father d evelop Rockefeller Center and his mother establish the Museum of Modern Art . At thirty-two he was Franklin Roosevelt's wartime coordinator for Latin A merica. As New York's four-term governor he set national standards in educa tion, the environment, and urban policy. The charismatic face of liberal Re publicanism, Rockefeller championed civil rights and health insurance for a ll. Three times he sought the presidency--arguably in the wrong party. At t he Republican National Convention in San Francisco in 1964, locked in an ep ic battle with Barry Goldwater, Rockefeller denounced extremist elements in the GOP, a moment that changed the party forever. But he could not wrest t he nomination from the Arizona conservative, or from Richard Nixon four yea rs later. In the end, he had to settle for two dispiriting years as vice pr esident under Gerald Ford. In On His Own Terms, Richard Norton Smith re-creates Rockefeller's improbable rise to the governor's mansion, his politically disastrous divorce and re., Random House, 2014, 3, New York and Detroit: Harry N.

"This exhibition catalog documents the emergence of modern American design in the second quarter of the 20th century. Cranbrook was one of the few institutions in the United States that offered instruction in design during the 1920s and 30s and its influence on architecture, interior design, art and crafts after World War II was crucial and extensive. The exhibition includes over 200 objects and photo-panels and surveys the history of the Cranbrook facility, as well as the achievements of the teachers and students. Presenting the history of the Cranbrook community, it covers Eliel Saarinen's contribution to architecture and urban design, interior design and furniture, metalwork and bookbinding, textiles, ceramics, sculpture and painting." - Publisher. .

"This book complements a national traveling exhibition of Komar and Melamid's interpretation of the 'most wanted' and 'most unwanted' paintings of fourteen countries titled: The People's Choice, organized and circulated by ICI - Independent Curators International, touring to museums from September 1998 to December 2000. What is art? Who defines it? And why is high art so remote from most people? With the same puckish humor and critical genius that made them the betes noires of Soviet cultural commissars, the Russian emigre art team of Vitaly Komar and Alexander Melamid takes on not only the billion-dollar American art industry but also capitalism's most venerated tool: the market research poll. With the help of The Nation Institute and a professional polling team, they discovered that what Americans want in art, regardless of class, race, or gender, is exactly what the art world disdains--a tranquil, realistic, blue landscape. Painting by Numbers includes the original questionnaire and reproductions of the 'most wanted' and 'most unwanted' paintings the artists made based on American survey results and on polls they commissioned in ten other countries--including Russia, China, France, and Kenya--representing almost one-third of the world's population. Essays by JoAnn Wypijewski and noted art critic Arthur Danto, as well as an interview with the artists, explore the crisis of modernism, the cultural meaning of polls, the significance of landscape, and the commodificaion of just about everything. / JoAnn Wypijewski is a senior editor at The Nation.
