<b>Uncover art history by discovering what distinguishes the great masterpieces.</b><br/><br/> Across eras, painters have pulled on their past and present to create works celebrated far into the future. But while museums are filled with artworks considered genius, it can be difficult to understand why these particular paintings have earnt that title.<br/><br/> In <i>The Art of Reading Art</i>, Matthew Olivier expands his exceptionally popular online series (@ matthewolivierx) to conversationally break down some of history's great paintings, from Bosch's The Conjurer and Jan van Eyck's Arnolfini Portrait to Edward Hopper's Nighthawks. In his uniquely welcoming style, Olivier captures, for readers, what these paintings say, and how exactly they say it.<br/><br/> Traveling across periods and styles, Olivier's focus isn't on a timeline of movements, or on creating an academic catalogue. Rather, his writing uncovers what makes 100 of history's artworks so special. From discussions of history and technique to analysis of what details say about a work and its painter, <i>The Art of Reading Art</i> helps readers dive deeper into the paintings without needing an art history degree.

<b>An intimate, beautiful collection of more than two hundred never-before-collected photos of the Beatles at work and at play-many published for the first time-taken by their lead guitarist, George Harrison<br/> <br/>This extraordinary book features:<br/>- 200+ intimate images chronicling the Beatles' rise to world fame, captured by one of their own<br/>- Running commentary on the photos including never-before-seen quotes from Harrison himself<br/>- Essays by Harrison's widow, Olivia Harrison, and writers Colm T&oacute;ib&iacute;n and George Saunders</b><br/><br/>From 1963 to 1969, George Harrison traveled the world with his bandmates, Pentax in hand, chronicling their impossible path from Liverpool to Ed Sullivan, Adelaide to Rishikesh, the Eiffel Tower to the beaches of Tahiti and beyond.<br/><br/>In this extraordinary collection of George's personal photos and 8mm film stills-curated by Olivia Harrison, George's widow-are singular images of Paul, John, Ringo, and George and the band's friends and entourage as they rocketed to stardom and fostered the joyful madness that came to be known as Beatlemania. This revelatory, beautifully designed book takes the reader along on their first plane ride to the US, motorcades through the Australian outback, shopping trips in Paris, and more.<br/><br/>The candid, unguarded photos, brimming with Harrison's wit, intelligence and penchant for experimentation (he was enamored of selfies, long before the iPhone), and snapped in those rare moments out of the spotlight offer a remarkable, inside look at the human beings behind the Beatles, trying to hold onto themselves-and enjoy themselves-while standing at the center of the storm.<br/><br/><i>The Third Eye </i>opens a window into the world of the Beatles-and the transformative cultural moment that they sparked-through the singular artistic vision of George Harrison.
