Download or read book Ray Bradbury s Fahrenheit 451 written by Ray Bradbury and published by Hill and Wang. This book was released on 2019-04-16 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Graphic Adaptation An HBO Original Movie starring Michael B. Jordan (Black Panther), Sofia Boutella (Star Trek: Beyond), and Michael Shannon (The Shape of Water). An Eisner Award Nominee "Monday burn Millay, Wednesday Whitman, Friday Faulkner, burn 'em to ashes, then burn the ashes." For Guy Montag, a career fireman for whom kerosene is perfume, this is not just an official slogan. It is a mantra, a duty, a way of life in a tightly monitored world where thinking is dangerous and books are forbidden. In 1953, Ray Bradbury envisioned one of the world's most unforgettable dystopian futures, and in Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, the artist Tim Hamilton translates this frightening modern masterpiece into a gorgeously imagined graphic novel. As could only occur with Bradbury's full cooperation in this authorized adaptation, Hamilton has created a striking work of art that uniquely captures Montag's awakening to the evil of government-controlled thought and the inestimable value of philosophy, theology, and literature. Including an original foreword by Ray Bradbury and fully depicting the brilliance and force of his canonic and beloved masterwork, Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 is an exceptional, haunting work of graphic literature.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fine Arts Journal, 1910: Devoted to the Fine and Decorative Arts, Home Building and Adornment How unfit for a legislative career the man would have been I think I can read in his skies. A man who watches the color and the clouds and the source of light speculating thereon as Iwill does - not as a scientist would speculate, but as an artist who studies the harmonious effects they produce - could not have become very great in the contemplation of sordid things His skies are not the greater part of his pic tures, but it is so seldom that an artist gives as much thought to the sky as to the more concrete objects in his motive, that it is worthy of comment.

Download or read book Love in Art Classic Reprint written by Mary Knight Potter and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Love in Art examines the romantic impulse in the visual arts, using examples both famous and obscure to take the reader on a passionate journey. Mary Knight Potter opens her book with an introduction in which she states that while love is likely the inspiration for more artistic works than anything else, sculptures and paintings rarely receive recognition for being works about the passion of men and women. The purpose of the book is thus to examine love in the visual arts and present a brief synopsis to the reader. The book is divided into chapters, each of which examines a different subject matter. Chapters focus on Greek art, Biblical love stories and their artistic representations, mythological love scenes as painted, wives and lovers of artists, and several other topics. Each section contains references to specific works of art, often times accompanied by an illustration demonstrating the work to the reader. Mary Knight Potter's passion for art is apparent from the first page. This is a thoroughly researched and well-articulated treatise on the subject matter. Potter presents works of art, both popular and unfamiliar, that demonstrate the emotional connection made between two people. Art historians will certainly find Potter's take on several well-known pieces to be fascinating, as the author approaches these works from a sometimes unconventional angle. Love in Art is a book that will appeal to any reader whose interest is piqued by art history. Potter's exploration of love makes this a pleasant read and one approachable by the layman. If you are at all interested in the subject matter, this book is a worthwhile addition to your personal library.

Honest face, virtuous expression, daring too, loving-hearted, lovable, clever, I'm sure, and his life has been too easy to develop any marked character. Too young to have been in the war, but you may be sure he wanted to go, and his mother had to exercise her author ity to keep him at home. He has been enjoying me for an hour. I'm as pleasant as a puzzle to him he preferred to read me rather than Dickens, and I gather from his expression that he has solved me. By this time I am rated in his mind as an impostor. Oh, the children of the Mayflower, how hard for them to see anything in life except through the portholes of that ship.
