Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An edited volume devoted to the reception and reputation of Edinburgh's premier Enlightenment portrait painter.Sir Henry Raeburn (1756-1823) is especially well known in Scotland as the portrait painter of members of the Scottish Enlightenment. However, outside Scotland, the artist rarely makes more than a fleeting appearance in survey books about portraiture. A review of the most recent exhibition devoted to the artist held in Edinburgh and London during 1997/8, noted that it wears the aspect of a closure rather than a new dawn' in Raeburn studies, with the painter being shown 'in solitary splendour'.This volume seeks to recover Raeburn from his artistic isolation by looking at his local and international reception and reputation, both in his lifetime and posthumously. It focuses as much on Edinburgh and Scotland as on metropolitan markets and cosmopolitan contexts. Previously unpublished archival material will be brought to light for the first time, especially from the Innes of Stow papers and the archives of the dukes of Hamilton.Key Features* 14 chapters each looking at different aspects of Raeburn's professional career* International scholars contributing to Raeburn studies for the first time* Interdisciplinary perspectives setting a new agenda for Raeburn studies* Traditional art analysis integrated with cultural, social, political and economic history* Includes much unpublished archival materialKeywordsScotland, Raeburn, Enlightenment, portraiture, art, patronage, taste, collecting

Download or read book The Errant Ricochet Max Raeburn s Legacy written by Paul Tag and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2008-05 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul Mark Tag has showcased his knack for storytelling in his two thrillers, Category 5 and Prophecy. Before these novels, he honed his skills by writing short stories. Here are fourteen of his favorites. This collection starts with the humorous "The Curious Miss Crabtree," in which two boys receive orders from their mother to deliver Christmas cookies to a scary neighbor. In "Mary's Secret," six-year-old Mary has two girlfriends who visit at night. Are they real or imaginary? In "A Matter of Honor," an immigrant finally accepts the heritage that he has been hiding from. "Double Exposure," a mystery, spotlights the curiosity and resolve of a spunky teenage girl: "As a child-and especially as a teenage girl-I was told I was too smart for my own good. During the summer of 1963, I proved them all wrong." And published in the online magazine storybytes.com, "The Long Walk Home" is a "short-short," only 128 words long. Most of these stories will warm your heart; two or three will keep you on the edge of your seat; a few will make you cry. And the last of these, "The Errant Ricochet: Max Raeburn's Legacy," will make you do all three.
Download or read book Vessels A Love Story written by Daniel Raeburn and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2016-03-14 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An unforgettable portrait of a marriage tested to its limits. When Dan, a writer with a passion for underground comics, and his wife Bekah, a potter dedicated to traditional Japanese ceramics, met through a mutual friend, they swiftly fell in love. “Of all the women I’ve ever met,” Dan told a friend, “she’s the first one who felt like family.” But at Christmas, as they prepared for the birth of their first child, tragedy struck. Based on Daniel Raeburn’s acclaimed New Yorker essay, Vessels: A Love Story is the story of how he and Bekah clashed and clung to each other through a series of unsuccessful pregnancies before finally, joyfully, becoming parents. In prose as handsomely unadorned as his wife’s pottery, Raeburn recounts a marriage cemented by the same events that nearly broke it. Vessels is an unflinching, enormously moving account of intimacy, endurance, and love.

Book excerpt: "In Do Fathers Matter? the award-winning journalist and father of five Paul Raeburn overturns the many myths and stereotypes of fatherhood as he examines the latest scientific findings on the parent we've often overlooked. Drawing on research from neuroscientists, animal behaviorists, geneticists, and developmental psychologists, among others, Raeburn takes us through the various stages of fatherhood, revealing the profound physiological connections between children and fathers, from conception through adolescence and into adulthood--and the importance of the relationship between mothers and fathers. In the process, he challenges the legacy of Freud and mainstream views of parental attachment, and also explains how we can become better parents ourselves."--www.Amazon.com.
