Download or read book Rubens Brueghel written by Anne T. Woollett and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2006 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Truly collaborative paintings, that is, not simply mechanical but also conceptual co-productions, are rare in the history of art. This gorgeously illustrated catalogue explores just such an extraordinary partnership between Antwerp's most eminent painters of the early seventeenth century, Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640) and Jan Brueghel the Elder (1568-1625). Rubens and Brueghel executed approximately twenty-five works together between around 1597 and Brueghel's death in 1625. Highly prized and sought after by collectors throughout Europe, the collaborative works of Rubens and Brueghel were distinguished by an extremely high level of quality, further enhanced by the status of the artists themselves. Published to coincide with an exhibition at the Getty Museum to be held July 5 to September 24, 2006, the catalogue features twenty-six color plates of such Rubens/Brueghel paintings as The Return from War, The Feast of Achelo�s, and Madonna and Child in a Garland of Flowers, along with Rubens and Brueghel's collaborations with important contemporaries such as Frans Snyders and Hendrick van Balen. This is the first such publication to fully address and reproduce these works in depth.

Book excerpt: This book provides information on workplace volunteering and how employee volunteering programs operate in specific corporate cultures.

The rationale's four basic components are discussed in detail: quality of life, worker participation, responding to others' expectations, and displaying moral leadership. Chapter 2 describes and assesses the basic promotional strategies used by many companies as well as the overall results of a national survey on employee volunteering. In chapter 3, five basic types of formalized workplace volunteer programs are discussed: clearinghouses, group projects, loaned personnel programs, teams, and retiree programs. Chapter 4 describes various ways in which companies work with each other, with voluntary organizations, and with public agencies to promote volunteering. Chapter 5 addresses union member volunteering, organized labor's best kept secret. Small business volunteer programs are the focus of chapter 6. Each chapter provides general information on its title subject followed by profiles of companies who operate the type of employee volunteering program under discussion. Two to six profiles are included in each chapter. (YLB)

Download or read book The Postcolonial Middle Ages written by J. Cohen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2000-04-21 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An increased awareness of the importance of minority and subjugated voices to the histories and narratives which have previously excluded them has led to a wide-spread interest in the effects of colonization and displacement. This collection of essays is the first to apply post-colonial theory to the Middle Ages, and to critique that theory through the excavation of a distant past. The essays examine the establishment of colony, empire, and nationalism in order to expose the mechanisms of oppression through which 'aboriginal' 'native' or simply pre-existent cultures are displaced, eradicated, or transformed.

The winner of the Director Oscar for Gigi, the first film to win in all nine of its Oscar nominations, Minnelli directed such classics as the Oscar-winning An American in Paris, Meet Me in St. Louis, Father of the Bride, The Bad and the Beautiful, and Some Came Running. He was married to Judy Garland, who he met on the set of Meet Me in St. Louis and directed in such landmark films as The Clock; their daughter is actress-singer Liza Minnelli.
