Learning in and through the arts will allow education to meet the unique challenges facing it as the twenty-first century approaches. Leaders in business, technology, and arts education address these challenges in six persuasive pieces on education reform.  Also included are the proceedings from the Center's national conference that addressed the question, "How is arts education a catalyst to reforming American education?"  Summaries of conference sessions support the impact of arts education on reform through interdisciplinary learning, assessment, cultural diversity, equity and access, and technology.

Masterpieces of the J. Paul Getty Museum: Paintings

These lavish volumes feature highlights of five of the collections in the J. Paul Getty Museum. Each volume contains between seventy-five and one hundred objects, handsomely reproduced in full color and described by members of the curatorial staff. 
Included are many objects that have never before been reproduced, as well as all of the Museum's spectacular new acquisitions--among them, Fra Bartolommeo's Rest on the Flight into Egypt and Cezanne's Still Life with Apples; van der Schardt's small bronze statue Mercury, sculpted in the sixteenth century; Michelangelo's sublime drawing The Holy Family with the Infant Saint John the Baptist; and Boccaccio's Fates of Illustrious Men and Women, a manuscript magnificently illuminated in France in the fifteenth century. 
In addition to English, each volume is available in French, German, Italian, Japanese, and Spanish (please see page 00 for information on these editions.) Two additional titles, on photographs and sculpture, will appear next year.

History & Criticism

Here, two of the Getty's most popular books are brought together in one handsome boxed set. In Seeing the Getty, numerous color photographs show the Getty Center in all its magnificence--from the tram and the noted architecture to the elegant interiors of the Museum galleries. In Seeing the Getty Gardens, vivid color photographs of the plazas, fountains, hillsides, and Robert Irwin's Central Garden offer a dazzling look at the breathtaking outdoor spaces at the Getty Center. Together these books provide an engaging glimpse of one of America's most important cultural institutions.

Neeft; the publication of three Caeretan hydriai by J.M. Hemelrijk; and the reconstruction of an important early krater by the Berlin painter discussed by Mary B. Moore. Also included is a discussion of a parody of a phylax comedy on a South Italian vase by Anneliese Kossatz-Deissmann, as well as essays by Petra Reichert-Sudbeck, Glann Markoe, Flavia Zisa, and Ruth Lindner.
