Download or read book The Life of Raphael written by Giorgio Vasari and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2018-04-03 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Giorgio Vasari, Florentine painter and architect, friend of Michelangelo and intimate of the Medici, is best known for his Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors and Architects, published in 1550 and in an enlarged edition in 1568. With more than two hundred biographies, it has for centuries been recognized as a seminal text in art history and one of the most important sources on the Italian Renaissance. It is to Vasari that we owe much of our knowledge of Raphael (1483–1520), who in his day was considered perhaps the greatest painter of all time. Rich in colorful anecdotes, The Life of Raphael is important for its sustained attention to the range of Raphael’s art, whose chronology and development Vasari describes in detail, together with the painter’s ample love life and spectacular social career. It also pays attention, unprecedented for its time, to theoretical issues. This edition, introduced by the scholar Jill Burke, includes thirty pages of color illustrations covering the entire span of Raphael’s oeuvre.

Book excerpt: Murder, sunken treasure, and pirates both ancient and modern send Doc Ford on a nightmare quest in this New York Times bestseller in Randy Wayne White's thrilling series. Marine biologist Doc Ford has been known to help his friends out of jams occasionally, but he's never faced a situation like this. His old pal Carl Fitzpatrick has been chasing sunken wrecks most of his life, but now he's run afoul of the Florida Division of Historical Resources. Its director, Leonard Nickelby, despises amateur archaeologists, which is bad enough, but now he and his young "assistant" have disappeared--along with Fitzpatrick's impounded cache of rare Spanish coins and the list of uncharted wreck sites Fitz spent decades putting together. Some of Fitz's own explorations have been a little...dicey, so he can't go to the authorities. Doc is his only hope. But greed makes people do terrible things: rob, cheat, even kill. With stakes this high, there's no way the thieves will go quietly--and Doc's just put himself in their crosshairs.

Book excerpt: "Here, Monroe tells perhaps his most compelling tale of all--about the only Highwaywoman, Mary Ann Carroll."--Jeff Klinkenberg, author of Alligators in B-Flat "A tale of triumph, of personal survival, of discipline, and finally, of faith."--Linda Hudson, mayor, Fort Pierce, Florida "An inspiring story of how one African-American woman artist not only survived a man's world but also did it during the long storm of a racist climate."--Ginger Smith Baldwin, senior legislative assistant, Florida Senate "A great read of an inspiring story about a woman of faith, character and drive. Mr. Monroe captures the essence of the Highwaymen's art, Mary Ann Carroll's life, and the entrepreneurial spirit that helped Carroll succeed in a racially charged environment."--Tom Wagor, president, Marco Island Historical Society "So many lives of artists are made possible, or at least made easier, by the support of someone else making the dinner and tending to the children while the singular experience of Mary Ann Carroll, Highwaywoman, related in this book reveals an artist overcoming the institutional challenges of race and gender while tending to the daily chores."--Jean Ellen Wilson, author of Legendary Locals of Fort Pierce In the years since the art world discovered them, much has been made of the Highwaymen--the loosely knit band of African American painters whose edenic Florida landscapes, created with inexpensive materials and sold out of their cars, "shaped the state's popular image as much as oranges and alligators" (New York Times). But lost in the legends surrounding the group is the mesmerizing story of Mary Ann Carroll, the only female "Highwayman." In 1957, sixteen-year-old Carroll met Harold Newton, later dubbed the original Highwayman. He was painting a landscape along the side of the road. There were red flames on his car. Yet what shocked the young African American girl most of all was discovering a black man who didn't work in the orange groves, who made a living off of his paintings. It wasn't long before she was creating and selling her own landscapes, and the other Highwaymen, taking note of her startling use of color, welcomed her into the fold. Carroll sold her first painting at eighteen--remarkable for any young artist, unheard of for a black woman in the South. Like her Highwaymen brethren, she travelled across the state, selling her art at hotels, offices, and restaurants where she was not allowed to drink, eat, or even sit. If the Highwaymen faced discrimination at every door they knocked on, then the challenges--and dangers--were magnified for Carroll. She took pride in always having her pristine Buick gassed and ready to go and her small handgun cleaned and ready to use. After years of virtual obscurity, Carroll was invited to the First Lady's Luncheon in 2011, where she presented a painting of her iconic poinciana to Michelle Obama. Today, she is pastor of the Foundation Revival Center in Fort Pierce, is an accomplished artist and musician, and still paints and exhibits her work widely. Mary Ann Carroll is the never-before-told story of a black female artist's hard-fought journey to provide for her family while also making a name for herself in a man's world.

Download or read book Essays on Sunbelt Cities and Recent Urban America written by Raymond A. Mohl and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 1990 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries scholars have scrutinized the cities of the Old World, poking into ruins and libraries for unwritten and written clues to origins and demise. The American cities that have played major roles in the history of the United States have also had their share of study. But only recently have historians applied systematic analysis to what is now called the Sunbelt, where half the nation's ten largest cities are located--cities that have grown astronomically since World War II. This volume brings together the important findings of leading urban historians. Addressing a variety of topics such as the reasons behind the Sunbelt's boom, their essays place the sunbelt phenomenon within the larger context of urban development nationwide. Kenneth T. Jackson begins the introduction by pointing out the problem of defining the Sunbelt and the reasons for urban growth in the sunbelt areas during the post-World War II era. Essays by Robert Fisher, Roger W. Lotchin, and Robert B. Fairbanks focus on specific cities and leadership issues: on the attitudes that shaped Houston, on the military's role in the urban development of San Diego, and on the politics of governing Dallas from 1930 to 1960. An essay by Carl Abbott looks at the distinctive physical characteristics of cities in the Southwest. Raymond A. Mohl's essay on the transformation of urban America since 1945 and Zane L. Miller's essay on Walter Prescott Webb and cultural regionalism provide broader contexts in which to view and understand urban sunbelt development. The essays of this volume reflect the individual authors' different methodologies and approaches. Taken together, they highlight the belief that national development and twentieth-century urban trends were as important in shaping sunbelt cities as was the regional culture.
