A stunning oversized collection of our most sacred guardians, The Glory of Angels, begins by organizing angels by their closeness to God. Illustrations, short stories, and quotes highlight the importance of guardian angels and archangels including Michael, Gabriel and Raphael. Special features explore such topics as the use of music as the voice of angels, angels in mythology, and angels and the last judgement. They explore how angels guide us by protecting and warning us of danger, healing and comforting us, and urging us to follow God′s path.
 In-depth essays reveal the stories of fallen angels, angels in disguise, and angels who have given in to temptation. There are also inspiring accounts of those who have been visited by angels--Joan of Arc, King Lear, Willaim Blake, Lot, Daniel, Jacob--and how each eventually overcame his hardship with the help of an angel.
 A full reference section is included in the back of the book, along with a visual glossary of images and illustrations describing each piece of art in detail and noting the name, date, location and artist.

Visual Arts in the Twentieth Century

In this lucid and coherent history of the century of modernism, renowned art writer Edward Lucie-Smith approaches his material in a novel way. Rather than presenting 20th-century visual arts as merely a succession of various styles, he goes beyond to examine the historical, social, and intellectual contexts that have surrounded and supported individual creativity. This is the first book of its type to strongly emphasize photography—an art form that has remained accessible without losing its avant-garde status.

From her sudden burst upon the scene in the spring of 1429 to her humiliating execution at the stake in Rouen in 1431, Joan of Arc achieved astonishing feats that changed the face of the kingdom of France. In this text, Edward Lucie-Smith charts the action of her brief life - the journey from rural Lorraine to the tensions of the Dauphin's court, the siege of Orleans, the coronation in Reims and Joan's trial and execution, providing a humanitarian biography of the Maid of Orleans.

Eroticism in Western Art by Edward Lucie-Smith 273 plates 29 in color. Oxford University Press. 1972. From the back of the book: The Sexual Revolution in the post-war Western world has often seemed an inextricable part of the artistic one, yet overt eroticism is not a recent development in European visual arts. Since the dawn of culture when paleolithic man carved statuettes with exaggerated sexual characteristics, the erotic impulse has played a significant role.

This new and augmented edition brings the history of the visual arts since the war forward to the events of the mid-1970's, and, in particular, to the shift of attention from the "art object" the the "art idea". The first good concise account of this subject to appear, Lucie-Smith's book has already established itself as a classic. It provides a clear, swift-moving narrative of the principal art movements of the past thirty years in the United States, England, France, and other countries.
