The period of post-World War II American printmaking is unique in the history of printmaking, as the volume and variety of prints proliferated and printmakers experimented with modern motifs and abstract forms. The printmaking explosion in America that began in the late 40s and early 50s carried the medium to prominence and acceptance. As a result of this rapid and fantastic growth, printmaking has come into its own as a respected art medium. Alongside printmaking's growing prestige, the print market flourished. Interest in printmaking grew quickly, and with new techniques emerging and evolving, the atmosphere in the nation encouraged creativity and experimentation. This period of American art was an innovative and productive era in the history of printmaking. Until now, there has been no comprehensive index of prints to bring biographical and critical material together with the published reproductions of works. The earlier indexes have been too general to be of value for scholarly research on prints. This index provides a one stop reference for this important period in printmaking history. In a single work, it provides all the information on published visual images of American prints from 1946 to 1996 as well as biocritical information on printmakers working in this time period.

Helps the user identify African-American artists and locate published reproductions of their work, ranging from the colonial period to the present.

Covers selected books published 1956 to 1971.

Following up on his successful World Architecture Index (Greenwood Press, 1991), Edward Teague applies his research and organizational skills to provide detailed coverage and easy access to the wealth of architectural landmarks in Italy as illustrated in eighty books widely available in libraries. Citations are provided for illustrations of approximately 1,800 works of architecture, engineering, and planning representing most historic periods and styles from prehistoric times to the present. Included are details on exterior and interior views and plans, sections, and elevations. The Site Index organizes the works by location and indicates date, architect, and information on the illustrations with coded references to the reproduction sources. Alternative means of access are provided in the Architect, Chronological, Type, and Work indexes. A time-saver for researchers and scholars seeking to examine illustrations of specific buildings and monuments, this volume will also serve as a complete reference source for travelers, students, and other library patrons seeking clarification of names, locations, architects, dates, and types of architectural works in Italy.

This is a unique reference tool for finding images of approximately 7,000 architectural works reproduced in more than 100 books likely to be available in libraries with architectural collections. The index is international in coverage; includes a variety of architectural, engineering, and planning works; and covers most historical periods and styles. Citations to reproductions of exterior and interior views, plans, sections, and elevations are provided, and access is enabled by building site, architect, type of work, and name of work indexes. The index is organized into four parts. Part I, the Site Index, is the principal index and lists architectural works alphabetically according to specific location. For each work, the following information is provided, if available: name of work, alternate names, date of work, architect(s), and citation information organized according to exterior view, interior view, plan, section, or elevation. The Architect Index, Part II, lists alphabetically the architects, engineers, planners, and others responsible for works cited in Part I. A typical listing provides the name of the architect, other names by which he or she is known, life dates, and the works listed alphabetically with their sites. The third part organizes the works according to particular type of building or structure. Part IV, the Work Index, lists names and alternate names of works and parts of works, as revealed in the indexed sources. The books indexed for this unique reference work were selected to form a representative survey of the major periods of architectural history. World Architecture Index is a unique reference and research tool that will be welcomed by students and scholars of architecture, art history, civil engineering, interior design, landscape architecture, urban planning, and world history.
