In 1926, Harcourt Brace and Company published that vision - ART THROUGH THE AGES.

	Haunted Paradise: The Art of Glenn Barr Glenn Barr's robots, creatures, and vixens live in a seedy yet swinging, 1960s universe, drenched in the haze of a postindustrial hangover.

	Albers and Moholy-Nagy: From the Bauhaus to the New World This beautifully illustrated book highlights the contrasts and correspondences in the lives and work of two of Modernism’s greatest innovators, Josef Albers (1888–1976) and László Moholy-Nagy (1895–1947).
