From the start, photography and film played decisive roles in the media and governmental presentation of this unprecedentedly global conflict.	ZAR220.00

	Grayson Perry - Wendy Jones Grayson Perry by Wendy Jones is a wonderful biography of the artist. Every inch of Grayson's childhood bedroom was covered with pictures of aeroplanes, and every surface with models. Fantasy took over his life, in a world of battles ruled by his teddy bear, Alan Measles. He grew up. And in 2003, an acclaimed ceramic artist, he accepted the Turner Prize as his alter-ego Clare, wearing his best dress, with a bow in his hair. Now he tells his own story, his voice beautifully caught by his friend, the writer Wendy Jones.	ZAR75.00

	Shoot - Ken Miller Shoot by Ken Miller gathers over 20 photographers whose work focuses on capturing a moment rather than elaborate lighting setups or controlled, manufactured scenarios. Employing the most basic photographic tools—a single-lens reflex camera and natural light—they must rely on their instincts and their ability to interact with a situation to create a dynamic image. This freewheeling approach reflects an era in which we are increasingly bombarded by images, and the emotional resonance of images has become an important part of our visual vocabulary.	ZAR225.00

	Flowers in the Landscape - Ann Mortimer Flowers in the Landscape by Ann Mortimer shows how to paint scenes full of colour and character. Flowers are indeed hard to ignore. They brighten our lives and our surroundings, and I can think of no better medium to use to paint them than watercolour because it is such a lively and dynamic medium. Learning to control it - or should I say to not control it too much - is a challenge. It is, however, all the more fun for being so. "Watercolour" reveals its secrets gradually to anyone who is prepared to give it a go.	ZAR85.00

	Independently Animated: Bill Plympton - Bill Plimpton & D B Levy Independently Animated: Bill Plympton by Bill Plimpton & D B Levy juxtaposes the story of his life and art against the backdrop of the overall animation industry. It chronicles Plympton’s life from his childhood of Saturday morning cartoons to his most current and certainly adult-skewing animation. The only modern animator to personally hand-draw every frame in all of his work, Academy Award–nominee Bill Plympton eschewed a career in the high-paying but soul-crushing Hollywood animation industry to explore his own creativity as an independent filmmaker.

Cappiello is the Father of the Modern Poster.	ZAR485.00
