This is the first major publication on the art and lives of twentieth-century Fort Worth artists Scott (1942–2011) and Stuart (1942–2006) Gentling. Prolific modern-day Renaissance men, the brothers created an extensive body of landscapes; portraits of regional and national luminaries; historical studies ranging from a visual reconstruction of the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan to subjects drawn from the French and American Revolutions; and natural history illustrations of the flora and fauna of Texas. Realist painters, they drew inspiration from past masters such as Jacques-Louis David and John James Audubon, and they corresponded and collaborated with contemporaries such as Andrew Wyeth and Ed Ruscha. The Gentling brothers’ place within the canon of twentieth-century American art is established here. Along with 290 images, including 120 plates, the book includes five essays, two by scholars Erika Doss of the University of Notre Dame and Barbara Mundy of Fordham University; a trio of Carter museum curators provide deep analyses of the Gentlings’ artistic process, the output of their fifty-year career, and a chronology of their lives; plus several brief and incisive takes on specific aspects of the brothers’ multifaceted art and lives are featured throughout.

In a world ruled by fickle Goddesses, these Bear Shifter Bikers purse their Fated Mates. The MC Bear Mates Vol 1 Box Set is here! Contains the following novels: MARS: Mars Donner is tall, dangerous and brutally loyal. His golden eyes melt panties and make men get out of his way. He'd done his fair share of dirt, and even put a few people in the dirt, but he had lines he wouldn't cross. As long as he had his MC, his cut and his hog, he thought he could get through anything. Then he met his Fated Mate, and he knew there was no line he wouldn't cross for her. Annette Vogel is an investigative journalist and no stranger to chasing a story. Freshly back from Afghanistan, her therapist tells her that she needs to take it easy, that working through PTSD is a process. But Adrenaline junkies don't take it easy, and when she gets wind of a human trafficking circle she has to go after the story. But crossing those kinds of people can have deadly consequences, especially when the story starts chasing her. MUNDO: Jimmy "Mundo" Aston always found himself deep in the sh*t. Whether it was going at it with rival bikers or cops, he never let his opponent get the better of him. This attitude was why he found himself in jail, eager to get out and back with his Club. Three hots and a cot weren't bad, and at over six feet tall he knew no one would try any funny business. So really it was just getting through the boredom, until he met her. Christie Lockheart didn't believe in love. She didn't believe in chances. She'd lost loves to chance and thought they could go to hell for all she cared. She could at least focus on her work, the one thing that kept her grounded. As a dentist for the County Corrections department she went from jail to jail to treat inmates. Not a glamorous job, but she thought she was beyond glamor at this point. Until she met Mundo Aston, and their brief interaction left her with lots of questions...and the desire to take a chance again. Just as they try to put together a normal life, the evil stalking the Nomads MC strikes again! KIKO: Kiko had thought he'd seen everything, but when the parade of young ladies came streaming out of the shipping container, their hair stuck to their scalps and reeking of God-knows-what, he felt sick to his stomach. He knew it was stupid to draw the line here after years of using violence and force like most people use language. But the line was drawn, and he knew he wouldn't cross this one. Now these women were under the protection of The Nomads, and the Ukrainian Mob would be in for a very bloody fight if they thought they could force these women to do anything. And there was one who was something special... USA Today Bestselling Author Becca Fanning brings you a Shifter Romance novel box set packed full of action, intrigue and steam!
