A generously illustrated book on the American artist Charmion von Wiegand whose oeuvre is a vital contribution to the history of modern and abstract art. Charmion von Wiegand started painting figuratively in 1926, when she received encouragement from her friend and painter, Joseph Stella. After being hired as an American reporter based in Soviet Moscow from 1929 to 1932, von Wiegand established herself as a preeminent art critic who embraced progressive ideas. She moved back to New York City in 1932 and became immersed in the avant-garde movement. Von Wiegand developed a close circle of friends including Hans Richter, Carl Holty, and John Graham. In 1941, when she met and befriended Dutch painter Piet Mondrian, she changed her painting style completely and was finally considered an artist in her own right. Highly influenced by his work, von Wiegand became interested in combining abstraction, Theosophy, and Eastern religions including her adoptive religion, Buddhism. The result was modern geometric abstract paintings that were imbued with Eastern imagery. This comprehensive volume on von Wiegand showcases gloriously illustrated works from all phases of her career. It also contains insightful essays and an array of previously unpublished material from the artist’s archives, including correspondence with Mondrian.

Strong beginner paddle.
Color: 1 Blue
I have been using the LiberAla Pickleball Paddle for some of my beginner lessons and let me tell you—this thing is a game changer. My students gave some of their first impressions: "First off, it feels like holding a wand. A very powerful wand, mind you." "I picked it up, and suddenly I felt like I was ready for a professional tournament, even if my skills still resemble a baby giraffe on ice." The grip is super comfy—it is a little on the bigger side, so not for the smallest hands. The lightweight design makes it easy to catch those tricky volleys.  One of my students said they felt like they could send the ball soaring into the stratosphere! Or, you know, at least over the net most of the time. As for the sweet spot, it is excellent covering most of the face of the paddle. The sound? A little on the loud side, makes a satisfying “thwack” that sounds way more impressive than it is. Now, I can’t say we didn’t have a few cringe-worthy moments—like when one of my players tried to smash it like a pro and ended up sending the ball straight into my own face -- that's why I always wear protective goggles. Classic! But hey, if laughter is the best medicine, I might just be the healthiest pickleball player out there. Overall, the LiberAla Paddle is a solid choice for any beginner looking to have a laugh and unleash their inner pickleball guru. Just maybe get some goggles if you’re like some of my students and have a penchant for unintentional self-harm. Happy paddle swinging! Paddle quality: Well made, good carbon fiber face, grip is comfortable and absorbent.  Edge protector is a big plus for beginners.

Good quality and good value for money
Color: 1 Blue and 1 Orange
Love this pickleball paddle set very much because: 1, the quality is great. I’ve purchased two other paddles. The two paddles in this set are satisfied. The feeling of holding them is good and the sound when they hit the pickle balls is satisfying. It’s not heavy, probably due to the honeycomb and carbon fiber material. 2, the colors are pretty and the color patterns are good designed. It’s easy to find our paddles. 3, this set is a good value for money. It contains two paddles, four balls, and a bag. You get everything with good quality with the money for one paddle. Overall, this pickleball paddle set has good quality and good value for money. Worth trying.

Great
Color: 1 Pro White
This new pro-level paddle is an absolute revelation, truly earning its five-star rating. My control instantly improved; dinks became effortless and drops landed precisely where I aimed them. The textured surface generates incredible spin, allowing for shots with wicked curve and dive. Power is readily available, transforming drives into piercing rockets across the court. Even during extended rallies, its balanced feel and quick handling keep me agile at the net. The sweet spot is incredibly generous, providing surprising forgiveness on less-than-perfect contact. It feels remarkably durable, shrugging off aggressive play without a scratch. This paddle doesn't just play well; it feels like a natural extension of my own hand, elevating my entire game. Seriously, if you're looking to upgrade your performance, this is the paddle you need.
