Download or read book The Juggler of Notre Dame and the Medievalizing of Modernity written by Jan M. Ziolkowski and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2018-08-29 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ambitious and vivid study in six volumes explores the journey of a single, electrifying story, from its first incarnation in a medieval French poem through its prolific rebirth in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The Juggler of Notre Dame tells how an entertainer abandons the world to join a monastery, but is suspected of blasphemy after dancing his devotion before a statue of the Madonna in the crypt; he is saved when the statue, delighted by his skill, miraculously comes to life. Jan Ziolkowski tracks the poem from its medieval roots to its rediscovery in late nineteenth-century Paris, before its translation into English in Britain and the United States. The visual influence of the tale on Gothic revivalism and vice versa in America is carefully documented with lavish and inventive illustrations, and Ziolkowski concludes with an examination of the explosion of interest in The Juggler of Notre Dame in the twentieth century and its place in mass culture today. Volume 3: The American Middle Ages hinges upon two figures influenced by the juggler: Henry Adams, scion of Presidents and distinguished cultural historian whose works contributed to the rise of medievalism in America during the Gilded Age, and Ralph Adams Cram, the architect whose vision of Gothic accounts directly or indirectly for the campuses of West Point, Princeton, Yale, Chicago, Notre Dame, and many other universities across America. The Juggler of Notre Dame and the Medievalizing of Modernity is a rich case study for the reception of the Middle Ages in modernity. Spanning centuries and continents, the medieval period is understood through the lens of its (post)modern reception in Europe and America. Profound connections between the verbal and the visual are illustrated by a rich trove of images, including book illustrations, stained glass, postage stamps, architecture, and Christmas cards. Presented with great clarity and simplicity, Ziolkowski's work is accessible to the general reader, while its many new discoveries will be valuable to academics in such fields and disciplines as medieval studies, medievalism, philology, literary history, art history, folklore, performance studies, and reception studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2020 Wisconsin Artists Biennial features 42 works by 39 artists from throughout the state, representing a wide spectrum of media and creative perspectives that both remain and go beyond our borders. Nina Ghanbarzadeh's complex use of words and language, together with David Najib Kasir and Madeline Glaspey's trenchant political commentaries reveal heartfelt responses to current events, while Alex Hopkins comments on the cynical and exploitative marketing of addictive products to the social media generation. In several instances the exhibition moves off the traditional wall onto the less ceiling: Janelle Gramling's monochromatic Transmuted Vessels hangs quietly in contrast to Daniel Fleming's riotously colorful painting From Dusk to Dawn. Work and Swim. Yevgeniya Kaganovich's Tree Intuiting Chair: fractal lies on the floor like a toppled tree, its ever-smaller wooden chairs mimicking barren branches. And these are just a few examples of the breadth of forms and depth of thought exhibited in this year's Biennial.This juried exhibition is co-sponsored by Wisconsin Visual Artists (WVA) and MOWA. Three artists served as jurors: Amy Baur and Brian Boldon from In Plain Sight Art Studios in Minneapolis, specialize in architectural and sculptural commissions and mixed media public art. They worked together with Tylonn J. Sawyer, an educator and curator in Detroit who creates large scale public art.

Download or read book The Railroad and the Art of Place written by David Kahler and published by Center for Railroad Photography & Arts. This book was released on 2016 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late 1980s, David Kahler was deeply inspired by seeing an exhibition of O. Winston Link photographs. He soon began making annual trips to the West Virginia and eastern Kentucky coalfields, destinations that strongly resonated with his own aesthetic of "place." Armed with a used Leica M6 and gritty Tri-X film, he and his wife made six week-long trips in the dead of winter to photograph trains along the Pocahontas Division of the Norfolk Southern Railway. Nearly one hundred images edited from this body of work form the core of The Railroad and the Art of Place, along with a selection of earlier Pennsylvania Railroad steam-era photographs that reflect Kahler's interest in the railroad landscape from an early age. Also included are three essays by Kahler, Scott Lothes, and Jeff Brouws, discussing the personal motivations, historical context, and aesthetic development behind the photography. With funding for printing provided by the Kahler Family Charitable Fund, all sales will go to support the Center's work.

Download or read book Milwaukee in Stone and Clay written by Raymond Wiggers and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2024-04-15 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Milwaukee in Stone and Clay follows directly in the footsteps of Raymond Wiggers's previous award-winning book, Chicago in Stone and Clay. It offers a wide-ranging look at the fascinating geology found in the building materials of Milwaukee County's architectural landmarks. And it reveals the intriguing and often surprising links between science, art, and engineering. Laid out in two main sections, the book first introduces the reader to the fundamentals of Milwaukee's geology and its amazing prehuman history, then provides a site-by-site tour guide. Written in an engaging, informal style, this work presents the first in-depth exploration of the interplay among the region's most architecturally significant sites, the materials they're made of, and the sediments and bedrock they're anchored in. Raymond Wiggers crafted Milwaukee in Stone and Clay as an informative and exciting overview of this city. His two decades of experience leading architectural-geology tours have demonstrated the popularity of this approach and the subject matter.
