Books by Hardy S. George

Examines the many ways artists have portrayed both turbulent and calm weather conditions in marine and landscape paintings, drawings, and prints. This book places emphasis on the artist's observation and experience of weather and climate, as well as on works which use calm seas, storms, and tempests as symbol and metaphor.

Focuses on the emergence of Paris as the artistic centre of Europe at the turn of the 20th century. This book emphasizes the Art Nouveau movement and considers such artists as Alphonse Mucha and Jules Cheret. It also reveals how innovations throughout the arts produced a particularly rich moment in art history.
