The art of Tibet by
Pratapaditya Pal(
Book
)
3 editions published in 1969 in English and held by 584 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
The culture of Tibet has been determined to a large extent both by her geographical situation and by her environment. Sandwiched between China in the north and the east, and India in the south, and tied to both by inexorable bonds through Buddhism, she has absorbed traits from the ancient civilizations of both her neighbors. While the influence from India has been primarily religious and intellectual, China has left lasting impressions on Tibet's politics and administration. -- Introduction

Into the sunset : photography's image of the American West by
Eva Respini(
Book
)
6 editions published in 2009 in English and held by 475 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Into the Sunset examines how photography has pictured, established and transformed the idea of the American West, from 1850 to the present. The development of photography coincided with the exploration and settlement of the West, and this simultaneous growth resulted in a complex relationship that has shaped the perception of that region's physical and social landscape to this day. Published to accompany a major exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, Into the Sunset charts changing myths and cultural attitudes about the West through photographs dating from the nineteenth to the twenty-first centuries. An expansive and dynamic survey, it brings together photographers as diverse as Carleton E. Watkins and Stephen Shore, Darius Kinsey and Dorothea Lange, Robert Frank and Cindy Sherman, an unknown daguerreotypist and Richard Prince. More than 120 works are organized thematically to highlight the artists' differing views of the West's land and people
