Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dappled brushwork, delicate hues and cloisonné textures dance across the surfaces of Cranston's still lives, landscapes and interiors Scottish painter Andrew Cranston (born 1969) creates transporting images that destabilize our sense of time: they invite the viewer to explore a space between nostalgia and the realm of the dream. Dense blots of oil graze on top of washes of distemper, guiding the viewer's eye through thick and thin layers of pigment. The paintings gathered in Waiting for the Bell conjure a state of liminality--the feeling of being suspended in a dream before the alarm jolts one back to reality--and draw from stories, poems and experiences that emerge from the artist's subconscious. Each painting's layering is guided by intuition: a reference to a Carole King album cover is interlaced alongside allusions to jazz history, the writing of Muriel Spark and visions of the Scottish coast. This substantial volume includes newly commissioned essays by Stephanie Burt and Barry Schwabsky.
Download or read book Andrew Cranston written by Florence Ingleby and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Andrew Cranston once described himself as a storyteller of sorts, though without a clear story to tell. He draws on a variety of sources including personal recollections – family histories; his circuitous route to art school via an initial, unsuccessful, foray into carpentry; and his 25-year association as both student and lecturer at Gray's School of Art in Aberdeen. Interwoven with passages culled from literature, anecdotes, jokes, and images from cinema these elements combine to make his idiosyncratic, intimate, and often dream-like, paintings. But the dream had no sound is the largest exhibition of Andrew Cranston’s work to date. It is accompanied by a 164pp publication, available for purchase, featuring an interview between the artist and his friend and colleague, painter Peter Doig. The book also includes over 60 illustrations - each with notes written by the artist - revealing the thoughts and associations that emerge in the process of making a painting.--Ingleby Gallery website.
Download or read book Paul Housley written by Paul Housley and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph, published to accompany Housley s solo exhibition of paintings at the Reg Vardy Gallery, 2005, is the result of a year-long residency at Durham Cathedral. Painting, for Housley, is a "dumb muse": a medium which, whilst only able to offer still, silent and hand-made single images, is also able to offer the most complex, nuanced and double-edged forms of visual experience. Working on an intimate scale, Housley's images elicit an unlikely poignancy and tenderness from subject matter that might initially seem to offer slight returns.

Download or read book No More Hunger written by William Dudley Pelley and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2011 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No More Hunger, written by William Dudley Pelley in the throes of the Great Depression of the 1930s and revised in 1961, presents an examination of the economic and financial flaws of private capitalism. It then outlines the features of a Christian Commonwealth that would unleash the full productive capability of the nation, with full implementation of human rights for every solitary citizen. During its republication in the sixties, thousands of copies were printed. They were read by those who were protesting the economic and financial inequities of our society, and by those who opposed the nation's untenable and brutal embroilment in the Vietnam War. Mr. Pelley passed on in 1965; nearly half a century has passed since his death. The ideas he put forth, however, are more vital and timely than ever. Peace with economic justice and stability in the nation cannot be realized without an honest and an analytical focus on the flaws of private capitalism and the abuses of the unconstitutional private banking system. No More Hunger offers a guide to addressing the major obstacle to harmony today: the futile attempt to solve the serious problems of the society while at the same time retaining the very economic structural ills that are responsible for the problems in the first place.

Download or read book Andrew Cranston Never a Joiner written by Andrew Cranston and published by . This book was released on 2023-11-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Andrew Cranston (b.1969, Hawick, Scotland; lives and works in Glasgow) is a painter-storyteller, a way of working that is enhanced by his often painting on the linen-bound covers of old books. His stories coalesce in the process of making--the paintings emerging gradually through the manipulation of his materials: layering, lacquering, bleaching, collaging, and constantly re-working his way into images that seem to shift backwards and forwards in time. He once described a work as "a painting that came out of my brush one day", a statement that sums up his approach. They are resolutely contemporary in spirit and yet connected by a strong thread to painters of the past, especially perhaps to the intimism of Vuillard and Bonnard, or to Matisse or Munch. These are narrative paintings, drawn from the artist's memory and observations of life and liberally sprinkled with references to cinema, literature, and art history. This publication presents a selection of the book cover paintings for which Cranston has become so well known in recent years. The cover image is a detail of Cat and cheeseboard (2018) in which a cat sits on the upholstered arm of a sofa surveying what the artist describes as "a selection of bries and camemberts, as mousetraps". Other animals pop up from time to time--a horse, some fish, a leopard; the skeleton of an elk. There are still lifes with fruit, flowers and/or pottery, and lots of landscapes, from the bleak to the fantastical. There are peopled and unpeopled interiors, portraits of family members and celebrities (occasionally curious hybrids thereof), and childhood memories from school classrooms and classical music-filled assemblies to holidays in Switzerland and visits to granny's flat. And there are quite a few watering cans too. Each featured painting is accompanied by a text based on notes made by the artist before, during, or after making a work. Mostly private thoughts, memories, and anecdotes, these fragments jotted down on scraps of paper or tapped into his mobile phone were never intended to be published, but the resulting texts offer personal observations and reflections that Cranston considers "something like album sleeve notes where a musical artist might give some background to each song". The texts are at times amusing, at others melancholic and moving, offering illuminating insights into the mind and life of the artist and the subjects, references, and influences that feed into his painting practice. There are notes about technique and color, about family and friends, about particular places at certain moments in time. For Cranston, writing has become "another way of engaging with painting and of activating the interesting afterlife that a work can have when it leaves the studio and goes out into the world." Andrew Cranston - Never a Joiner has been produced by Ingleby, Edinburgh, and co-published with Anomie Publishing, London. It has been published to coincide with an exhibition of the same name at Ingleby, Edinburgh, and launched as part of the Edinburgh Art Festival 2023.

Book excerpt: 'A thing to treasure and keep close at hand. I would prescribe it to the lost and the lonely, the busy and the overburdened, the heart-broken and the happy' – Emily Haworth-Booth A moving, funny exploration of life as the parent of a lockdown baby, by illustrator Pia Bramley. Since March 2020, babies have been born into a world of masks, hand washing and social distancing. They met their grandparents on video calls. Their parents held them up to windows and took them for long walks in the rain. Pia Bramley's illustrations capture the intimacy of the small, strange world of the pandemic baby. She draws on her own experience as a new parent, telling the story of a child's first year against the backdrop of the pandemic: the quiet streets of the first lockdown, the relative freedom of summer, the long nights of autumn and winter and, finally, new hope as spring arrives and life begins to open up again. Moving, funny and deeply honest, this is a book for every parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle or friend who waited to hold their pandemic baby.

Download or read book Intercepting the Political Football written by Anthony F. Loporchio Jr. and published by . This book was released on 2020-12-14 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this provocative and informative chronicle of a veteran public school teacher's journey, Anthony F. Loporchio, Jr. dissects the bureaucratic politics that interfere with teaching and learning, with a full disclosure of how the unfortunate integration of politics into education completely altered his career and life. Author Loporchio brings forth more than thirty years' experience to offer considerable expert commentary on the psychology of adolescence, the impact of social media, the challenges of leadership, and the critical role parents play in the evolution of their children's lives. He proposes that people who are fortunate enough to attain prestigious positions often lose their humility and become ignorant to the plight of the classroom teacher. Chapters in the book include "Mr. Loporchio's Opus," in which he discusses his passion for teaching and what the opportunity to educate has meant to him in his life. In "The Principals of Learning" and "The Leadership Challenge," he examines the scenarios that bring to the forefront the question of what is politically correct vs. what is ethically and morally correct. The author brings things to full circle with an uncensored recapitulation of how he lost a prominent position and standing, followed by a very moving introduction of ten of his former students and their post-high school endeavors. For anyone pondering a career in education, to a young practitioner attempting to establish themselves in the profession, to a veteran educator struggling to find reasons to stay in the profession, Intercepting the Political Football is a must-read. Anthony F. Loporchio, Jr. began teaching in 1990 in the Rhode Island Public School System while completing his undergraduate and graduate coursework at Rhode Island College and Providence College. In addition to his classroom teaching, he served as social studies department chairperson for nine years and yearbook advisor for twenty-two years at a prestigious Rhode Island high school. When not focused on his teaching, Mr. Loporchio enjoys adding to his collection of celebrity autographs, Hot Wheels, and Magic: The Gathering cards. This is the author's second published book.
