Download or read book Tramp Art written by Clifford Wallach and published by Schiffer Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover the romance of tramp art, folk art made made from discarded wooden cigar boxes, layer upon layer, one notch at a time, by untrained artists using simple tools and recycled materials. Tramp art crafters representing over 40 nationalities carved tramp art in America. It was also practiced throughout the world wherever cigars were smoked. These artists transformed the discarded boxes into pieces of utility and wonder. Never before has the subject been studied in such depth. Over 600 color photographs document 100s of items, ranging from picture frames and mirrors, to boxes, bureaus, and fantasy pieces. The designs and colors reflect a naive sensibility and aesthetic that is at once charming and beautiful. Here is a rich assemblage of the history of the art form and a thorough the study of the artists' lives and work. Misguided romantic mythologies long associated with tramp art are dispelled to leave an accurate picture of these noble notchers. A foreword by award-winning author and art historian Barbara Goldsmith sets the stage, and the pages that follow both celebrate the art and deepen our understanding of its roots and practitioners. This book will be treasured by folk art lovers everywhere.

Download or read book Thomas Stearns at Venini written by Marino Barovier and published by Skira Editore. This book was released on 2019-10-22 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas Stearns and his collaboration with the Venini glassworks in the early Sixties in the new chapter of the series "Le Stanze del Vetro". The American artist Thomas Stearns (1936-2006) collaborated with the Venini glassworks as guest designer between 1960 and 1962. Thomas Stearns designed elegant blown-glasspieces with irregular features using various materials. Stearns was the first American to design for Venini; he won a on Fulbright Travel Grant, left Cranbrook Academy, and showed up in Murano with new ideas, but absolutely no knowledge of the Italian language. But, from this potentially disastrous situation grew a collection of ground-breaking designs that actually won the "Best of Show" award at the Venice Bienale of 1962. When the judges found out that the winner was not Italian, but a monolingual American, they actually rescinded the award. By then, however, it was pretty impossible to deny that Thomas Stearns had created something really special. Stearns' amazing designs proved too difficult to put into mass production, which made them even more special.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wanda Waffle is a single mother of twins. In order to get any help from her ex-husband, she would first have to obtain an advanced degree in crypto zoology. In case you don't know what that is, it is the study of creatures that do not exist, like Big Foot, Sasquatch, the Abominable Snowman, the Yeti, the Chupacabra, the Loch Ness Monster, the Thunder Bird, the Jersey Devil, and Willie Waffle, her fugitive ex-husband who, much like D. B. Cooper, might as well not exist because he couldn't be found. Wanting to make a better life for her children, she moves from the East Village in Manhattan to the small Victorian coastal town named Big Water, where during a period of unemployment in the 1970's she starts to write a book out of sheer desperation. Thirty years later she finds the old manuscript in a trunk. It was written at a time of rampant unemployment, a falling dollar, and high gas prices. It sounded just like today!
