Book excerpt: Fifty years in the making, Landfall Press: Five Decades tells the story of one of America's most renowned printer-publishers. It also tells the story of its remarkable founder, Jack Lemon, whose half-century journey to build a business predicated on collaborative relationships is part biography and part business plan laid bare. The book is based on interviews with Lemon, which provide personal and often profound insights into his journey and Landfall's history. Lemon's passion for printmaking, especially lithography, was ignited during his studies at the Kansas City Art Institute (KCAI) and further kindled during his training at the Tamarind Institute of Lithography. Soon after completing his Tamarind training, Lemon founded and directed two celebrated lithography workshops at KCAI and the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, respectively. The opportunity to establish his own printshop presented itself in 1970. That year, gallerist Allan Frumkin convinced Lemon to open his own shop in Chicago, for which Frumkin would serve as backer. Lemon agreed, and Landfall Press was born.Over the next fifty years, Landfall Press would go on to collaborate with a wide array of established and emerging artists, including: Vito Acconci, Terry Allen, Robert Arneson, Roger Brown, Judy Chicago, Christo, Chuck Close, Robert Cottingham, Lesley Dill, James Drake, Peregrine Honig, Tom Huck, Luis Jiménez, Allen Jones, Ellen Lanyon, Claes Oldenburg, Dennis Oppenheim, Ed Paschke, Philip Pearlstein, Jeanette Pasin Sloan, Pat Steir, Kara Walker, H. C. Westermann, and William T. Wiley. These collaborations resulted in some 3,500 unique projects in lithography, etching, woodcut, and photogravure, encompassing not only individual prints but also books, three-dimensional multiples, and even music publishing. Uniting this diverse output is Landfall's unique commitment to collaboration, innovation, and excellence--in Lemon's words, "the Landfall way."Featuring hundreds of illustrations, including many previously unpublished workshop photographs, Landfall Press: Five Decades is the definitive account of Landfall and its significant collaborations with artists whose prints, multiples, and editions have come to define the art of contemporary printmaking. A traveling exhibition is being held in conjunction with the book, beginning at the Milwaukee Art Museum in 2019 and concluding in 2025.

Download or read book Landfall written by Thomas Mallon and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2020-02-11 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set during the tumultuous middle of the George W. Bush years—amid the twin catastrophes of the Iraq insurgency and Hurricane Katrina—Landfall brings Thomas Mallon's cavalcade of contemporary American politics, which began with Watergate and continue with Finale, to a vivid and emotional climax. The president at the novel's center possesses a personality whose high-speed alternations between charm and petulance, resoluteness and self-pity, continually energize and mystify the panoply of characters around him. They include his acerbic, crafty mother, former First Lady Barbara Bush; his desperately correct and eager-to-please secretary of state, Condoleezza Rice; the gnomic and manipulative Donald Rumsfeld; foreign leaders from Tony Blair to Vladimir Putin; and the caustic one-woman chorus of Ann Richards, Bush's predecessor as governor of Texas. A gallery of political and media figures, from the widowed Nancy Reagan to the philandering John Edwards to the brilliantly contrarian Christopher Hitchens, bring the novel and the era to life. The story is deepened and driven by a love affair between two West Texans, Ross Weatherall and Allison O'Connor, whose destinies have been affixed to Bush's since they were teenagers in the 1970s. The true believer and the skeptic who end up exchanging ideological places in a romantic and political drama that unfolds in locations from New Orleans to Baghdad and during the parties, press conferences, and state funerals of Washington, D.C.

But her mother died when she was young, leaving Bera alone with her gift, unable to control her feckless twin spirit or understand her visions of the future. When this inability leads to the death of her childhood friend at the hands of a rival clan, Bera vows revenge. And learning that her father has sold her into marriage with the murderous enemy’s chieftain, she is presented with an opportunity even sooner than she had hoped... As her powers grow stronger, her visions of looming disaster become more and more ominous until she is faced with the ultimate choice: will she exact vengeance? Or can she lead her people to safety before it’s too late?

Download or read book Landfall written by Julie Hensley and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this ring of connected short stories, grounded in the fictional town of Conrad's Fork, Kentucky, everyone is staging some sort of escape. A woman harboring the dark truth about her youngest daughter's birth, a new teacher suddenly under suspicion after a student's disappearance, a young girl witnessing her older sister's sexual awakening: all the people in this Appalachian community suffer a paralyzed desire in response to the stagnancy and exposure they experience in their small town. Landfall: A Ring of Stories weaves together the voices of two generations of mountain families in which secrets are carefully guarded--even from closest kin. One by one, those who leave confront the pull of the land and the people they've left behind. Perhaps Conrad's Fork will save them, or, perhaps, in the wake of urban encroachment and shifting family systems, they will save it.

Book excerpt: An entertaining and eye-opening biography of America's most memorable first daughter From the moment Teddy Roosevelt's outrageous and charming teenage daughter strode into the White House—carrying a snake and dangling a cigarette—the outspoken Alice began to put her imprint on the whole of the twentieth-century political scene. Her barbed tongue was as infamous as her scandalous personal life, but whenever she talked, powerful people listened, and she reigned for eight decades as the social doyenne in a town where socializing was state business. Historian Stacy Cordery's unprecedented access to personal papers and family archives enlivens and informs this richly entertaining portrait of America?s most memorable first daughter and one of the most influential women in twentieth-century American society and politics.
