Download or read book Night Fisher written by R. Kikuo Johnson and published by Fantagraphics Books. This book was released on 2005-11-09 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: R. Kikuo Johnson has created an intimate and compelling graphic novel-length drama of young men on the cusp of adulthood. First-rate prep school, S.U.V., and a dream house in the heights: This was the island paradise handed to Loren Foster when he moved to Hawaii with his father six years ago. Now, with the end of high school just around the corner, his best friend, Shane, has grown distant. The rumors say it's hard drugs, and Loren suspects that Shane has left him behind for a new group of friends. What sets Johnson's drama apart is the naturalistic ease with which he explores the relationships of his characters. It is at once an unsentimental portrait of that most awkward period between adolescence and young adulthood and that rarest of things: a mature depiction of immature lives.

Download or read book An Armenian Sketchbook written by Vasily Grossman and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2013-02-19 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An NYRB Classics Original Few writers had to confront as many of the last century’s mass tragedies as Vasily Grossman, who wrote with terrifying clarity about the Shoah, the Battle of Stalingrad, and the Terror Famine in the Ukraine. An Armenian Sketchbook, however, shows us a very different Grossman, notable for his tenderness, warmth, and sense of fun. After the Soviet government confiscated—or, as Grossman always put it, “arrested”—Life and Fate, he took on the task of revising a literal Russian translation of a long Armenian novel. The novel was of little interest to him, but he needed money and was evidently glad of an excuse to travel to Armenia. An Armenian Sketchbook is his account of the two months he spent there. This is by far the most personal and intimate of Grossman’s works, endowed with an air of absolute spontaneity, as though he is simply chatting to the reader about his impressions of Armenia—its mountains, its ancient churches, its people—while also examining his own thoughts and moods. A wonderfully human account of travel to a faraway place, An Armenian Sketchbook also has the vivid appeal of a self-portrait.

Download or read book The Primacy of Drawing written by Deanna Petherbridge and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning with a consideration of traditional connoisseurship and ancient myths about the origins of drawing, Deanna Petherbridge examines the polarities of open-ended sketches and highly finished presentation drawings that constitute a drawing continuum: graphic parameters within which artists continue to experiment. She examines the `economy' of drawing, that is, its materials and techniques and qualities of line and mark, and she analyses strategies of making, composing, inventing and development through revealing juxtapositions of historical and contemporary images. The teaching of drawing across the centuries in academies has led to the production of drawing and anatomical manuals and complex theories about copying, hierarchies of genres, the centrality of the expressive body and responses to nature. Such issues even become the subject matter of graphic images or are incorporated into drawings of the act of drawing. The manner in which satire, sexuality or play are encoded in line and mark and generate compositional strategies reveals the thinking of Petherbridge as a teacher, concerned for many years to understand the hows and whys of making and visual thinking. The book is both a much-needed history of practice and a rich resource for anyone interested in drawing. --Book Jacket.
