Download or read book Scherenschnitte written by Davis Griffith-Cox and published by . This book was released on 2020-10-30 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hundreds, perhaps, thousands of art books have been written with regard to most every art form and media conceivable. The Greeks and Romans wrote in great detail about both media and technique. Paper and papyrus were invented early on (circa 200 BCE) which soon gave added diminution to the art form. In china paper was first used as patterns for clothing and embroidered shoes. The Mayans used paper to form foldout illustrated books. Each country developed its own indigenous form of expression. In Mexico homes were decorated with stylized cut out forms which became banners and garlands. Some cuttings were forms of flora and fauna and individual shapes. It was the Germans and Austro-Hungarians who began depicting scenes and telling stories for people who often could neither read nor write. A few storytellers such as Hans Christian Anderson entertained audiences by cutting out scenes while telling tales to mesmerized audiences. Soon the English followed suit and ultimately "The Victoria and Albert Museum" amassed a formidable collection of what became known as "Scherenschnitte," the German word for paper cutting as an art form. We have compiled this refreshing book which follows an alternative format. Very few books have told the story of one of the most skillful art forms which starts with a blank piece of paper and NO preliminary drawing ... only scissors. We believe our collection to be every bit as good as that at the V.&A. By about 1870 the technique of "plein air art" was developed. One created outdoor scenes and live models in natural settings rather than working in secluded studio settings. For the truly talented, a photographic memory allowed works to be subsequently recorded almost verbatim, as they had been previously seen ... an assistor of tragic adversity which blossomed into a truly remarkable sophisticated and professional talent. Take a journey into a refreshingly skillful alternative art form and find yourself amazed at this little-known art form at its very best.

Download or read book The Monsters of Templeton written by Lauren Groff and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2008-02-05 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The day I returned to Templeton steeped in disgrace, the fifty-foot corpse of a monster surfaced in Lake Glimmerglass." So begins The Monsters of Templeton, a novel spanning two centuries: part a contemporary story of a girl's search for her father, part historical novel, and part ghost story. In the wake of a disastrous love affair with her older, married archaeology professor at Stanford, brilliant Wilhelmina Cooper arrives back at the doorstep of her hippie mother-turned-born-again-Christian's house in Templeton, NY, a storybook town her ancestors founded that sits on the shores of Lake Glimmerglass. Upon her arrival, a prehistoric monster surfaces in the lake bringing a feeding frenzy to the quiet town, and Willie learns she has a mystery father her mother kept secret Willie's entire life. The beautiful, broody Willie is told that the key to her biological father's identity lies somewhere in her family's history, so she buries herself in the research of her twisted family tree and finds more than she bargained for as a chorus of voices from the town's past -- some sinister, all fascinating -- rise up around her to tell their side of the story. In the end, dark secrets come to light, past and present day are blurred, and old mysteries are finally put to rest. The Monsters of Templeton is a fresh, virtuoso performance that has placed Lauren Groff among the best writers of today.
