Gustav Klimt is well known for his dramatic work "The Kiss."
Trained in the decorative arts, he quickly became known for his
blending of both high and low art styles, and his graphic shapes and
colors became a signature that hold his paintings together like
sublime art nouveau glue. The colorful, sensual, and elegant
paintings in "Gustav Klimt: Modernism in the Making" remain
fascinating symbols of fin-de-siècle Europe.

The portraits gathered in photographer Shoichi Aoki's book
"Fruits," from the pedestrian promenade of Harajuku in Tokyo, point
the way to a giddy glut of mongrel fashion. A best-of collection
from the fanzine of the same name, and published for the first time
outside Japan, the book is filled with 18-year-olds playing dress-up
in swathes of tartans and florals, pinks and turquoises, name-brand
and secondhand. It's a joyous celebration of street fashion.

The beach house was "the sonnet form of American architecture,"
writes Alastair Gordon in his gracefully written, stunningly
illustrated book "Weekend Utopia." He shows how the evolution of
summer housing on the once-rural eastern end of Long Island, New
York, heralded key developments in architecture from the '20s and on
into the '80s.
