Download or read book The Art Kettle written by Sinead Murphy and published by John Hunt Publishing. This book was released on 2012-03-16 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The theme of 'disinterest' is a dominant one in philosophical accounts of aesthetic experience, and, unlike many philosophical themes, it has had and continues to have a huge effect, on presuppositions about the nature of judgment, of feeling, of art, of resistance, of all of those experiences and activities that appear to operate at least partly outside of the given regulations of human existence. The Art Kettle has two aims: first, to show that 'modern' art - that is, art during and since the Enlightenment - is not only itself defined by 'disinterest,' by dearth of purpose, but functions as a standard for creativity, for free thinking, for choice, for indulgence, for questioning, and for protest, that suits very well the requirement, in our capitalist democracies, that differences and resistances expend themselves without effect on the combination of conservatism and consumption that supports these democracies; second, to show that the historical conflation of aesthetic experience and 'disinterest' is subject to resistance from another historical conflation: of aesthetic experience and use or purpose.

Download or read book The Artful Teapot written by Garth Clark and published by Watson-Guptill. This book was released on 2001-10-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on its universal appeal and everyday use, tea has inspired the creation of exquisite objets d’art; above all, the spouted, steaming engine of hospitality: the teapot. In fact, the teapot has drawn widespread attention from the world’s leading designers and artists for centuries because it is what French sculptor Arman calls one of the key objects of our time. This delightful book celebrates the chameleon-like form of the teapot, and how it is considered not only an icon for hospitality but also an inventive vehicle for artistic expression. The Artful Teapot features, in full, lavish color, more than 200 enchanting teapots representing its 500-year history of enjoyment and use. Readers will find captivating examples from Yixing—the birthplace of the teapot—as well as such famous producers as Meissen, Minton, Wedgwood, and others. Here are artful teapots that balance form, surface, and function in search of beauty . . . revolutionary teapots seeking—fascinatingly but fruitlessly—to improve on this most perfect invention . . . teapots inspired by natural forms . . . teapots made from surprising materials like dollar bills, glass beads, and soda cans . . . teapots used as a format for politics or propaganda . . . teapots using animals or people as their subject . . . and last but not least, the teapot created purely for art’s sake—pots removed from function, where tea evaporates and imagination replaces the fragrant leaf as content. Plus, fascinating text written by Garth Clark, the preeminent scholar of modern ceramics, provides an appealing discussion of these objets d’art that is as provocative, playful, and profound as the teapots themselves. • Teapots featured in this book form the basis for an exhibition that opened in November 2001 at the American Craft Museum in New York City, which is traveling until 2004, visiting six other American museums • First comprehensive guide featuring the artistic beauty of teapots through five centuries of use
Download or read book Kettle Bottom written by Diane Gilliam and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This award-winning, unforgettable collection is written in the voices of people living and working in the coal camps during the West Virginia mine wars of 1920-1921, featuring poems that illustrate how a community responded to a time of danger. Written in the voices of people living and working in the coal camps during the West Virginia coal mine wars of 1920-1921, these vivid poems show how a community responded to a time of danger. KETTLE BOTTOM imagines the stories of miners, their wives, children, sisters, and mothers; of mountaineers, Italian immigrants, and African American families -- people who organized for safe working conditions in opposition to the mine company owners and their agents. The poet, Diane Gilliam, whose family was part of the Appalachian outmigration from Mingo County, West Virginia, and Johnson County, Kentucky, has created a book of poems that address a violent time with honesty, levity, and compassion. At its core, KETTLE BOTTOM is about how a community lived in the presence of multiple risks and the choices the residents made. "Like the Michelangelo of her poem who 'cuts away everything from the stone that is not David, ' Diane Gilliam makes the stone of the West Virginia mountains yield up its human past, and gives a second, enduring life through her art to the people of her home place, who would otherwise be 'all gone under the hill.' Her community is fortunate to have harbored such a poet, and American poetry is the larger for this extraordinary book."--Eleanor Wilner "Mining may be men's work, but the conditions of this work pervade their family lives. Their wives and children bear the fallout from the mines ... [Gilliam] creates a self inside this history and makes this history personal. At the same time, she locates this self in a larger world, drawing on her family stories and culture to create a collective identity from this tragedy."--Teow Lim Goh, Tin House "In KETTLE BOTTOM, Diane Gilliam probes the emotional truth of coal camp history, and then extracts it--holds its darkness in the light of her brilliant lines."--Joyce Dyer "Students immediately engaged with the poems; faculty found the poems a productive way of exploring issues of class, of race, of history and who gets to tell it, of suffering, of moral choice, and of resilience."--Carol Christ, President of Smith College Poetry. History. Family & Relationships. Women's Studies.
