Download or read book Jim Shaw written by Jim Shaw and published by Jrp Ringier. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My Mirage (1986 - 1991) is the first major body of work by Jim Shaw, an artist from Los Angeles who started exhibiting in the late 1970s.Composed of nearly 170 pieces - each one drawn, silk-screened, photographed, sculpted, filmed or painted in a different style - My Mirage recounts the wandering of Billy, a white, middle-class American sucked into the whirlwind of the 1960s and 1970s. His is a story of unceasing failure. After an anxious childhood, Billy later withdraws from the guilt-wracked spasms of adolescence in order to lose himself in a psychedelic utopia, which soon becomes a nightmare. In the depth of psychotic hallucinations, he follows a woman who he worships into a pagan sect, before finally returning to the religion of his youth, 'reborn' as a fundamentalist Christian.From the onset of the series, My Mirage has been constructed with the idea of the book as model. Not only does the overarching narrative take the form of a coming of age novel, but many of the individual pieces make direct reference to a book format. Created in close collaboration with Jim Shaw, the book thus presents itself as the culmination of the artist's original project. My Mirage - The Book will allow Jim Shaw's ever-growing audience to look at the whole of Billy's story for the first time. Furthermore, its format and content should appeal to a wide readership, beyond contemporary art, which includes anyone interested in the history of the counter-culture of the 1960s and 1970s, American graphic design and popular illustration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Development of Thrift In treating a subject as broad as is that of the development of thrift, it has not been possible in the compass of a small volume to do more than outline the general scope of the various agencies that have been organized to encourage and stimulate the practice of thrift. It is hoped, however, that workers in charitable societies and social settlements who are trying to build up the character of the poor by teaching them how to be independent, and workingmen who are making an effort to organize associations and clubs by means of which to accumulate savings and to make safe investments, will find many helpful suggestions in the following pages. For those who wish to make a thorough study of the subject of savings agencies, of workingmen's insurance, and of building and loan associations, this little book may serve as a stepping-stone.
