Download or read book Oregon Painters written by Ginny Allen and published by . This book was released on 2021-04 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is an expanded, pictorial review of the history of painting in Oregon from 1859-1959. The first edition was published as an encyclopedia and index of Oregon painters with historical data about the evolution of painting styles, educational institutions, and exhibition venues in the Northwest; this book expands the focus on the history of painting in Oregon, adding essays on Impressionism and Modernism while using more and better visual examples to illustrate the strength of the state's early painters. In addition, the original indexed content has been edited and condensed. Oregon Painters fills an important niche, as little has been written about the early history of Northwest art and this volume serves as a valuable resource for discovering artists who remain largely unknown but whose works continue to gain in reputation and value.

Download or read book Breadcrumbs on My Journey Celebrating Life in the City of Brotherly Love written by Richard G. Krassen and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-02-19 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to Richard Krassen, "I owe my life to the city of Philadelphia." Breadcrumbs on My Journey is set in the City of Brotherly Love, the life-long anchor of his universe. In this revealing memoir, he reflects on his love for music, basketball, and family, sharing novel insights on what it means to be a son, husband, father, grandfather, and teammate. Beyond his sharp and often humorous memories, septuagenarian Krassen offers original poetry, aphorisms, and a story about his alter ego as a life insurance salesman. Although this entire endeavor took many years, the results are well worth it, and readers are sure to enjoy and be inspired by this proud Philadelphian.Krassen has actually produced two memoirs, a candid account of his personal journey, and an unflinching guide to Philadelphia and how it's been over the last three quarters of a century. If you start reading, you won't stop. At least I didn't.--Mike Jensen, 30-year sportswriter, Philadelphia InquirerRich Krassen's Lincoln team and my Overbrook squad played each other at The Palestra in the 1958 Philadelphia public high school league semi-final game. We are fraternity brothers in basketball, stickball, and doo wop. I love his memoir, both serious and humorous, as it recaptures the good old days. --Wali Jones, former NBA player, director of Shoot for the StarsWith fast-paced, light-hearted vignettes, Krassen presents a delicious Catcher in the Rye for members of the "Lost Generation," (b. 1930-1946), a generation that's been maligned, if not ignored by history. Krassen's often hilariously detailed and self-deprecating memoir reminds readers that perseverance prevails and the 1950s weren't so "bland" after all.--Thomas J. Carey, author, Witness to Roswell, and Inside the Real Area 51A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to the Make a Wish Foundation.

Download or read book Treasures of Asian Art written by Denise Patry Leidy and published by Prestel Publishing. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Asia Society is proud to present a revised and expanded catalogue of its world-renowned Collection, Treasures of Asian Art: The Asia Society Museum Collection. Celebrating the 60th anniversary of Asia Society in New York, this elegant book explores the breadth and depth of the Collection, emphasizing its strengths by grouping artworks to allow for broader discussion of the connections between historic and contemporary art. The initial section presents the Collection's traditional works, divided by region, many of which are part of the original bequest from Mr. and Mrs. John D. Rockefeller 3rd. Following is a section devoted to contemporary works, including those made by Asians living abroad. The pieces are presented as part of a narrative, rather than as discrete objects, thus allowing readers to consider history, region, religion, and technique as contextual touchstones in their appreciation of these treasures. Lavishly illustrated, this book acknowledges the enormous transformations that have taken place in Asian cultures, while also commemorating the continent's magnificent contributions throughout the history of art."--

Download or read book Open Water written by Caleb Azumah Nelson and published by Grove Press. This book was released on 2021-04-13 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE COSTA FIRST NOVEL AWARD A NATIONAL BOOK FOUNDATION 5 UNDER 35 WINNER OF THE BRITISH BOOK AWARD FOR DEBUT FICTION “Open Water is tender poetry, a love song to Black art and thought, an exploration of intimacy and vulnerability between two young artists learning to be soft with each other in a world that hardens against Black people.”—Yaa Gyasi, author of Homegoing In a crowded London pub, two young people meet. Both are Black British, both won scholarships to private schools where they struggled to belong, both are now artists—he a photographer, she a dancer—and both are trying to make their mark in a world that by turns celebrates and rejects them. Tentatively, tenderly, they fall in love. But two people who seem destined to be together can still be torn apart by fear and violence, and over the course of a year they find their relationship tested by forces beyond their control. Narrated with deep intimacy, Open Water is at once an achingly beautiful love story and a potent insight into race and masculinity that asks what it means to be a person in a world that sees you only as a Black body; to be vulnerable when you are only respected for strength; to find safety in love, only to lose it. With gorgeous, soulful intensity, and blistering emotional intelligence, Caleb Azumah Nelson gives a profoundly sensitive portrait of romantic love in all its feverish waves and comforting beauty. This is one of the most essential debut novels of recent years, heralding the arrival of a stellar and prodigious young talent.
