Frederick Hart's sculpture is at once traditional in its adherence to the importance of the human figure, and radical in its sensuality and innovative use of materials. This publication is a comprehensive look into the life and talent of a classical sculptor, whose passion for the spiritual and figurative aspects of his craft is represented in both his public commissions and private work. Daughters of Odessa, one of Hart's masterworks, is traced from its first inspiration to the final bronze. The Creation Sculptures, which grace the west facade of Washington National Cathedral, are explored in an in-depth analysis of his epic interpretation of Creation. Hart's public monuments including Three Soldiers at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial are brought to life through the artist's own writings. Additionally, new works are comprehensively explored, building from the previous book, Frederick Hart, Sculptor (1994), now in its fifth printing. 12 colour & 83 b/w illustrations

Before his death in 1999, Frederick Hart was hailed as America's greatest living sculptor. His powerful and inspirational figurative creations for such venues as the National Cathedral and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial changed the face of American art. Inspired by the great classical sculptors Michelangelo and Rodin, Hart single-handedly revived the classical form in monumental pieces, the complexity, size and beauty of which are rightly compared to works of the Old Masters.This magnificent book is published as Hart's catalogue raisonne?a detailed showcase of his relatively short lifetime of extraordinary production?timed to coincide with the largest Hart retrospective and exhibit ever mounted, at the University of Louisville, from September to November 2007.Essays by Donald Kuspit and Frederick Turner accompany hundreds of impressive color plates. Also included is an extensive chronology, bibliography and index of Hart's works.Butler Books is proud to announce that Frederick Hart: The Complete Works was awarded the Silver Medal for Excellence in the national Fine Arts category of the 2008 Independent Publisher Book Awards.

A Distinguished and Bestselling Historian and Army Veteran Revisits the Culture War that Raged around the Selection of Maya Lin's Design for the Vietnam Memorial A Rift in the Earth tells the remarkable story of the ferocious “art war” that raged between 1979 and 1984 over what kind of memorial should be built to honor the men and women who died in the Vietnam War. The story intertwines art, politics, historical memory, patriotism, racism, and a fascinating set of characters, from those who fought in the conflict and those who resisted it to politicians at the highest level. At its center are two enduring figures: Maya Lin, a young, Asian-American architecture student at Yale whose abstract design won the international competition but triggered a fierce backlash among powerful figures; and Frederick Hart, an innovative sculptor of humble origins on the cusp of stardom. James Reston, Jr., a veteran who lost a close friend in the war and has written incisively about the conflict's bitter aftermath, explores how the debate reignited passions around Vietnam long after the war’s end and raised questions about how best to honor those who fought and sacrificed in an ill-advised war. Richly illustrated with photographs from the era and design entries from the memorial competition, A Rift in the Earth is timed to appear alongside Ken Burns's eagerly anticipated PBS documentary, The Vietnam War. “The memorial appears as a rift in the earth, a long polished black stone wall, emerging from and receding into the earth."—Maya Lin "I see the wall as a kind of ocean, a sea of sacrifice. . . . I place these figures upon the shore of that sea." —Frederick Hart

"Fred Williams is one of Australia's greatest painters. He created a highly original and distinctive way of seeing the Australian landscape and was passionate about the painting process itself. This is the first major retrospective of Williams' work in over 25 years. It highlights Williams' strength as a painter including important large oil paintings and luminous gouaches to reveal his distinctive approach, often combining a feeling for place with a strong abstract emphasis. Williams' inspiration often emerged from the unique qualities of landscapes around Australia, from Upwey in Victoria to the Bass Strait in Tasmania and the Pilbara region of Western Australia. Although Williams is most often associated with dry environments, some of the surprises in the exhibition are the works that reveal his fascination with water--ponds, rivers, waterfalls and seascapes. The show uncovers other unexpected elements, such as portraits of his family and friends, and delicate studies in gouache of plants and animals."--Publisher's website.

No company of the twentieth century achieved greater success and engendered more admiration, respect, envy, fear, and hatred than IBM. Building IBM tells the story of that company, how it was formed, how it grew, and how it shaped and dominated the information processing industry. Emerson Pugh presents substantial new material about the company in the period before 1945 as well as a new interpretation of the postwar era. Granted unrestricted access to IBM's archival records and with no constraints on the way he chose to treat the information they contained, Pugh dispels many widely held myths about IBM and its leaders and provides new insights on the origins and development of the computer industry. Pugh begins the story with Herman Hollerith's invention of punched-card machines used for tabulating the U.S. Census of 1890, showing how Hollerith's inventions and the business he established provided the primary basis for IBM. He tells why Hollerith merged his company in 1911 with two other companies to create the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company, which changed its name in 1924 to International Business Machines. Thomas J. Watson, who was hired in 1914 to manage the merged companies, exhibited remarkable technological insight and leadership, in addition to his widely heralded salesmanship, to build Hollerith's business into a virtual monopoly of the rapidly growing punched-card equipment business. The fascinating inside story of the transfer of authority from the senior Watson to his older son, Thomas J. Watson Jr., and the company's rapid domination of the computer industry occupy the latter half of the book. In two final chapters, Pugh examines conditions and events of the 1970s and 1980s and identifies the underlying causes of the severe probems IBM experienced in the 1990s. - Publisher.
