Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The photographs speak for themselves in this black and white coffee table masterpiece... Apart from the stirring introduction from writer Robin Lane Fox, the work of the young photographer stands alone.....Each of Lockhart's pieces has a resonance, the character of the horses, hounds, country and people fairly vibrating from every page. Her capturing of the mood of the day, from hazy dawns to crisp afternoons, is delightful...anyone who's ever been in the hunting field will find much to recognise and love in this book. Equally, for those of us who love the countryside, horses, hounds or people will discover much art over which to linger. Amateur Photographer: 'Lockhart's pictures cover the gamut of hunting activity; a line of hounds, noses quivering, setting off in snow carpeted woodland; steam coming off horses; competitors in a Best Dressed Huntsman competition; a young follower dwarfed by a huge hay bale; huntsmen relaxing in the pub afterwards....Whether you support hunting or not, it is an undeniably photogenic activity and Lockhart's pictures unquestionably do it justice.'

She finds distraction in the chiseled form of top–shelf client Tobias Wilder, a magnetic American billionaire who demands her expertise, her discretion–and her secrecy. Wilder doesn't ask questions. He gives orders. His gaze alone ignites her deepest fantasies. And his touch... The sudden whirl of exclusive exhibitions and decadent parties that Wilder introduces her to is a potent aphrodisiac. But surrender soon becomes tinged with suspicion. Is Zara's tryst with Wilder the real thing...or just a convincing forgery?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A landmark retrospective that examines William Merritt Chase and his lasting contribution to the history of modern art The history of modern art owes a great debt to William Merritt Chase (1849-1916), one of America's influential artists and educators. Chase was a leading member of the international artistic avant-garde and was best known for his mastery of a wide range of subjects in oil and pastel, including figures, landscapes, urban park scenes, interiors, and portraits. As a teacher and founder of the Shinnecock Summer School of Art and the New York School of Art, Chase mentored a new generation of modernists, including Edward Hopper, Georgia O'Keeffe, and Joseph Stella. A century after his death, the breadth and richness of Chase's career are celebrated in this beautifully illustrated publication. Five essays by prominent scholars of American art offer new insights into Chase's multi-faceted artistic practice and his position in the international cultural climate at the turn of the 20th century.
