The Timeless Beauty of Russian Icons
Icon painting has reached its zenith in Ukraine between the 11th and 18th centuries.

Lempicka (English version)
The smoothly metallic portraits, nudes and still lifes of Tamara de Lempicka encapsulate the spirit of Art Deco and the Jazz Age, and reflect the elegant and hedonistic life-style of a wealthy, glamorous and privileged elite in Paris between the two World Wars. This book celebrates the sleek and streamlined beauty of her best work in the 1920s and 30s.
