Download or read book The Bee Cottage Story written by Frances Schultz and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspired by Frances Schultz’s popular House Beautiful magazine series on the makeover of her East Hampton house, Bee Cottage, what began as a decorating book evolved into a memoir combining the best elements of both: beautiful photos and a compelling personal story. Schultz taps into what she learned during her renovations of Bee Cottage—determining how each area in the house and garden would be used and furnished—to unravel the question of how a mature, intelligent, successful woman could have made such a mess of her personal life. As she figures out each room over a period of years, Frances finds a new path in life, also a continual process. She comes to learn that, like decorating a home, our lives must adapt to who we are and what we need at different points along the way. The Bee Cottage Story is part memoir, part home decorating guide. Frances discusses the kinds of useful, commonsense design issues that professionals take for granted and the rest of us just may not think of, prompting the reader to examine and discover her own “truth” in decorating—and in her life.

Download or read book Plaster Casts written by Rune Frederiksen and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2010-09-27 with total page 765 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume originates from an international conference (Oxford University, 2007). Texts address plaster casts and related themes from antiquity to the present day, and from Egypt to America, Mexico and New Zealand. They are of interest to classical archaeologists, art historians, the history of collecting, curators, conservators, collectors and artists. Articles explore the functions, status and reception of plaster casts in artists’ workshops and in private and public collections, as well as hands-on issues, such as the making, trading, display and conservation of plaster casts. Case-studies on artists’ use of material and technique include ancient Roman copyists, Renaissance sculptors and painters, Dutch 17th-century workshops, Canova, Boccioni and others. A second theme is the role of plaster casts in the history of collecting from the Renaissance to the present day. Several papers address the dissemination of visual ideas, models and ideals through the medium. Papers on modern and contemporary art illuminate the changing uses and semantic values of plaster casts in this period. Amongst the types of casts discussed are artists’ models and final works as well as casts after antiquities, including sculpture, architecture and gems (dactyliothecae). The volume demonstrates the richness of the field, both in terms of the material itself and modern scholarship concerned with it. Conceived as a handbook for students, academics, curators and collectors, the text will form a standard work on the role of plaster casts in the history of Western sculpture.
Download or read book Stuccoville written by Chuck Radke and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-26 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chuck Radke was raised in Fresno, California, in a neighborhood situated within a vast fig orchard and bordered by the Santa Fe Railroad. His father called the area Stuccoville. Just a month before Chuck turns eight, his father drives off in their Buick Skyhawk to start a new life with a thinner, prettier woman. The young boy and his chronically ill mother, whose body is ravaged by lupus, are left to redefine their family as they face the world together. Twelve-year-old Chuck hosts Tupperware parties to raise extra money. He administers his mother's assortment of medications when she's in too much pain to do it herself. He learns to make meals out of whatever is available, even if it's only tomatoes, mayonnaise and bread. Remarkably, Chuck's mother defies the medical establishment's expectations for survival. Her courage and determination shape the character of her only child. Despite medical and financial struggles, mother and son find hope and connection in ways as momentous as surviving a near-fatal motorcycle accident and as minor as baseball and small, hypoallergenic dogs.
