Download or read book Journeys East written by Alan Chong and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1883, Isabella Stewart Gardner and her husband embarked on a trip that would take them from Boston, across the Unites States and the Pacific, to Japan, China Cambodia and finally, the India of the Raj. Travelling in the wake of recent Western expansion into Asia, they were privileged guests in a world convulsed by colliding forces and identities. They visited ancient temples; met missionaries and colonial officials; toured rubble left but anti-Western riots; camped at Angkhor Wat but took first-class trains throughout India. Isabella kept a diary, bought photographs, and assembled a travel album. Back home, she became a pioneering collector of Asian art. 'Journeys East' reconstructs the Gardners' epic journey with illustrations from Isabella's albums and quotations from her diary and her husband's letters and notes. Isabella's evolving relationship to Asia is the subject of essays by Alan Chong, Noriko Murai, and Christine Guth, amoth other major authorities, that consider a broad range of topics, from the Japanese tea ceremony to her selection and display of Asian art at her extraordinary museum in Boston. A new kind of book, 'Journeys East' combines the history of travel and collecting with the study of East-West relations. Nearly all the 400 illustrations in this oversize book reproduce vintage photographs on her travels. In numerous instances, the photographs document sites long changed beyond recognition. The book will be of exceptional interest to readers of Joseph Conrad. ILLUSTRATIONS 400 illustrations

Download or read book Henry Moore written by Henry Moore and published by Lund Humphries Publishers. This book was released on 1994 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 2 deals with a crucial decade in Moore's career. Now enjoying a steady income from his post as sculptor and tutor at the Royal College of Art, he was able to devote more time to working on his own sculpture and drawings. It was this time that Moore began his series of Transformation Drawings. Objets trouvés picked up on the beach - lobster claws, animal bones or worn pebbles - became in Moore's imagination reclining figures or mothers holding children. Some of these sketches were developed into the large sculptures of reclining figures with holes at their centre for which Moore is so well-known.
