Download or read book Voices in the Gallery written by Grant Holcomb and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2001 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The forty writers in this book, all prominent poets and novelists, were asked to select a work of art from the University of Rochester's Memorial Art Gallery and respond to it with a poem, short story or essay. The writers include Poet Laureates, Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award winners, New York State Poets and MacArthur Fellows. Their works range from the gritty "hour of charcoal and amber" in Kate Braverman's response to Douglas Gorsline's 1942 painting Bar Scene, to a delightful short story by Tom Gavin based upon Winslow Homer's magnificent painting The Artist's Studio in an Afternoon Fog. A notable group of nineteenth-century American landscape paintings caught the attention of a number of writers, while the poet John Ashbery found the contemporary landscape painting of Jane Freilicher to be a "continual joie de vivre." Other contributors include Andrea Barrett, National Book Award Winner for Fiction in 1996; Hayden Carruth, National Book Award Winner for Poetry in 1996; Anthony Hecht, Chancellor Emeritus of the Academy of American Poets; and Joanna Scott, recipient of the Pushcart Prize and the Lannan Literary Award.With imagination and originality, these writers have recreated the works of art and enable us to see anew many of the treasures in the collections of the Memorial Art Gallery. Grant Holcomb is the Director of the Memorial Art Gallery of the University of Rochester.
Download or read book Parker Looks Up written by Parker Curry and published by Aladdin. This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times bestseller! A visit to Washington, DC’s National Portrait Gallery forever alters Parker Curry’s young life when she views First Lady Michelle Obama’s portrait. When Parker Curry came face-to-face with Amy Sherald’s transcendent portrait of First Lady Michelle Obama at the National Portrait Gallery, she didn’t just see the First Lady of the United States. She saw a queen—one with dynamic self-assurance, regality, beauty, and truth who captured this young girl’s imagination. When a nearby museum-goer snapped a photo of a mesmerized Parker, it became an internet sensation. Inspired by this visit, Parker, and her mother, Jessica Curry, tell the story of a young girl and her family, whose trip to a museum becomes an extraordinary moment, in a moving picture book. Parker Looks Up follows Parker, along with her baby sister and her mother, and her best friend Gia and Gia’s mother, as they walk the halls of a museum, seeing paintings of everyone and everything from George Washington Carver to Frida Kahlo, exotic flowers to graceful ballerinas. Then, Parker walks by Sherald’s portrait of Michelle Obama…and almost passes it. But she stops...and looks up! Parker saw the possibility and promise, the hopes and dreams of herself in this powerful painting of Michelle Obama. An everyday moment became an extraordinary one…that continues to resonate its power, inspiration, and indelible impact. Because, as Jessica Curry said, “anything is possible regardless of race, class, or gender.” **FOREWORD BY ARTIST AMY SHERALD**

Book excerpt: From the New York Times bestselling author of Spearhead and A Higher Call comes an unflinching, brutal, and relentless firsthand chronicle of United States Marine Corps' actions in the Pacific during World War 2.

With unprecedented access to the veterans, rare photographs, and unpublished memoirs, Voices of the Pacific presents true stories of heroism as told by such World War II veterans as Sid Phillips, R. V. Burgin, and Chuck Tatum--whose exploits were featured in the HBO(R) miniseries, The Pacific--and their Marine buddies from the legendary 1st Marine Division. Includes rare photos

Download or read book Art for a New Understanding written by Mindy N. Besaw and published by University of Arkansas Press. This book was released on 2018-10-24 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Art for a New Understanding, an exhibition from Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art that opened in October 2018, seeks to radically expand and reposition the narrative of American art since 1950 by charting a history of the development of contemporary Indigenous art from the United States and Canada, beginning when artists moved from more regionally-based conversations and practices to national and international contemporary art contexts. This fully illustrated volume includes essays by art historians and historians and reflections by the artists included in the collection. Also included are key contemporary writings—from the 1950s onward—by artists, scholars, and critics, investigating the themes of transculturalism and pan-Indian identity, traditional practices conducted in radically new ways, displacement, forced migration, shadow histories, the role of personal mythologies as a means to reimagine the future, and much more. As both a survey of the development of Indigenous art from the 1950s to the present and a consideration of Native artists within contemporary art more broadly, Art for a New Understanding expands the definition of American art and sets the tone for future considerations of the subject. It is an essential publication for any institution or individual with an interest in contemporary Native American art, and an invaluable resource in ongoing scholarly considerations of the American contemporary art landscape at large.

Download or read book Refugee Voices written by Rob Sharp and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-03-12 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores how participatory creative production can allow refugees to be recognized in emotional, legal and social ways. It also explains how decisions around participation in these forms of creative production can equally exclude refugee voices from the public sphere, inhibit recognition, and in fact lead to refugee misrecognition. Building on the concept of ‘performative refugeeness’, it considers how refugee voices are ambivalently enacted in alternative forms of media and considers the differences between the refugee voices expressed in and beyond them, in contexts surrounding their creation. Furthermore, it analyses the forms of refugee voices expressed in such creative projects, which encompass fiction, photography, video, audio, and/or drawing—in linear, as well as ‘messy’ and ‘interrupted’ ways—and assesses how promises of offering a voice might claim to have been fulfilled in such cases. The volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of migration and refugee studies, media and culture studies, performance studies and communication studies.
