Summary

In 1944, Lyonel Feininger (1871–1956) wrote his first letter to fellow painter Mark Tobey (1890–1976) after seeing Tobey’s first solo show at the Willard Gallery in New York. It was the beginning of a close friendship that lasted until Feininger’s death in 1956. More than eighty letters document the friendship of these two artists. First published in their entirety in 1991, the letters are presented here in complete transcriptions. This revised e-book edition, originally released in commemoration of the fiftieth and thirtieth anniversaries of the artists’ deaths, includes an essay by Peter Selz, an expanded chronology focusing on the years of the correspondence, and color plates of paintings by both artists, as well as reproductions of selected letters. It also includes two brief catalogue essays written by each artist about the other.
Available since: 03/25/2015.

    This pictorial history of the legendary M1 Abrams Tank illustrates its versatility and advancement from the Cold War Era to the present day. The M1 Abrams has proved itself to be the finest main battle tank in the world since its introduction into US Army service in 1981. It combines the ultimate balance between firepower, mobility and protection as demonstrated by its superior performance during the two Gulf Wars and in Afghanistan. It routed the Soviet equipment of Saddam Hussein's army and today remains the yardstick by which friends' and foes' MBTs are judged. As military expert Michael Green demonstrates in this illustrated history, the M1’s versatility, and its continual modernization of weaponry armor and engineering, guarantees that it will remain the US Army's spearpoint for years to come. With its comprehensive collection of images and authoritative text, this volume is an ideal resource for information on M1 Abrams Tank design and combat operations.
