Dressing the Man - Alan Flusser

Dressing the Man is the definitive guide to what men need to know in order to dress well and look stylish without becoming fashion victims. Alan Flusser''s name is synonymous with taste and style. With his new book, he combines his encyclopedic knowledge of men''s clothes with his signature wit and elegance to address the fundamental paradox of modern men''s fashion: Why, after men today have spent more money on clothes than in any other period of history, are there fewer well-dressed men than at any time ever before? According to Flusser, dressing well is not all that difficult, the real challenge lies in being able to acquire the right personalized instruction. Dressing well pivots on two pillars -- proportion and color. Flusser believes that "Permanent Fashionability," both his promise and goal for the reader, starts by being accountable to a personal set of physical trademarks and not to any kind of random, seasonally served-up collection of fashion flashes. Unlike fashion, which is obliged to change each season, the face''s shape, the neck''s height, the shoulder''s width, the arm''s length, the torso''s structure, and the foot''s size remain fairly constant over time. Once a man learns how to adapt the ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Hieronymus Bosch & the Other Renaissance - Bernard Aikema, Fernando Checa Cremades

A groundbreaking, richly illustrated art history volume that rewrites the conventional narrative of the Renaissance by focusing on the era's dark, surreal, and monstrous imagination. When we think of the Renaissance, we recall harmony, humanism, and classical perfection.

This is a must-have volume for art historians, students of the grotesque, and anyone who appreciates the dark, complex, and beautiful side of historical art. It is the definitive guide to understanding the other Renaissance—the one defined by devils, demons, and dreams.
