Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A news item announcing the finding of a Hitler Album stimulates Emily’s interest in the world of lost and stolen art. While studying the subject on the Internet, she recognizes Raphael’s sixteenth century masterpiece, The Madonna of the Veil, as part of the art collection in the villa of Franco, the drug lord, in Columbia. She is determined to confirm that his art collection includes stolen paintings and, in the process, uncovers a cache of artifacts thought to be from the Nazi looting of European museums during World War II. Her resolve to acquire the artifacts and return them to the original owners entices her to invest in Franco’s opiate drug operation. While she’s negotiating for the paintings, her young daughter Susan stumbles into a sophisticated art-reproduction operation that replicates original oil paintings, including the carbon-dating test. Her task team works their way through the confusing underground market in art spurred by insurance companies fighting fraudulent loss claims and uncooperative museums.

Book excerpt: A psychic ex–CIA agent finds himself entangled in a conspiracy and hunted by a killer in this wild adventure from the author of the Mongo Mysteries. After a brain infection at birth almost killed him, Veil Kendry developed a unique power: His vivid dreams can transport him to the edges of time and to the minds of other men. A Vietnam veteran, martial arts instructor, and former CIA agent, Veil now makes a living painting landscapes unlike anything anyone has ever seen. The highly regarded Institute for Human Studies has invited Veil to undergo a battery of tests at their Big Sur facility to better understand his abilities as an artist. Although Veil is game for anything, nothing can prepare him for the secrets hidden behind the walls of the institute—or the ensuing fight to stay alive. Veil is the 1st book in the Veil Kendry Suspense Novels, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

Download or read book Cy Twombly written by Michelle White and published by Menil Foundation. This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A breathtaking exploration of one of Twombly's largest paintings, the second version of his Treatise on the Veil One of the most important American postwar artists, Cy Twombly (1928-2011) engaged with mythological and poetic source material, setting him apart from other artists of his generation. In 1970, Twombly revisited his 1968 painting Treatise on the Veil and, in a short period of focused creativity, produced a painting--Treatise on the Veil (Second Version)--on a single, 33-foot canvas along with more than a dozen related drawings. This handsomely produced oversize book features three essays that examine these works in relation to Twombly's oeuvre, contemporaneous explorations of time, the Orpheus myth, and a musical composition that Twombly cited as an influence. Large images and details bring us in close to Twombly's magnificent meditation on time and space. Distributed for The Menil Collection

Download or read book Lavinia Fontana s Mythological Paintings written by Liana De Girolami Cheney and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2020-08-18 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume investigates emblematic and art-historical issues in Lavinia Fontana’s mythological paintings. Fontana is the first female painter of the sixteenth century in Italy to depict female nudes, as well as mythological and emblematic paintings associated with concepts of beauty and wisdom. Her paintings reveal an appropriation of the antique, a fusion between patronage and culture, and a humanistic pursuit of Mannerist conceits. Fontana’s secular imagery provides a challenging paragone with the male tradition of history painting during the sixteenth century and paves the way for new subjects to be depicted and interpreted by female painters of the seventeenth century.

Download or read book Tal Sterngast Twelve Paintings written by Michael Eissenhauer and published by Hatje Cantz Verlag. This book was released on 2020-12-04 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Berlin's Gemäldegalerie is known for its outstanding collection of European paintings from the thirteenth to eighteenth century. Each chapter in this book is dedicated to one painting from the collection. In the breadth of this idiosyncratic selection, painting, as it discovers itself becomes a medium for the formulation of modern subjectivity. Each painting in focus unfolds its own making and its artistic concerns as they reflect contemporary issues, today. What are the paradoxes within which art is made by women? How does the primordial drive to destroy works of art affect today's art discourse? Where did the modern struggle of painting against the picture begin? Why does the Wild Man from early German Renaissance still haunt us? And why doesn't it matter whether Jan Vermeer used an optical device for his paintings? Twelve Paintings highlights the currentness of the Old Masters.
