Frederic Church

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The life of landscape painter Frederic Edwin Church (1826– 1900) encompassed an expansive period in United States history, when the nation’s commercial, diplomatic, cultural, and scientific achievements blossomed.

Frederic Remington : The Color of Night

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description In the decade preceding his untimely death, Frederic Remington (1861-1909) produced a series of paintings that took as their subject the color of night. This richly illustrated volume is the first to present all of these works--some seventy paintings that secured for Remington the critical acclaim he so coveted. Indeed, these magnificent nocturnes marked an important new direction for the celebrated illustrator, writer, and sculptor of America`s vanishing frontier. In these deeply personal works, Remington explored the technical and aesthetic difficulties of painting darkness. Surprisingly, his images are filled with color and light--moonlight, firelight, candlelight. Focused on the subject the artist had made his own--the American West--these paintings reflect Remington`s dramatic reworking of the narrative tradition as well as the spare modernism of his late work. Frederic Remington: The Color of Night , accompanying the first exhibition devoted… [detailed...]

Frederick Pollock And The English Juristic Tradition (Oxford Studies in Modern Legal History)

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionFrederick Pollock and the English Juristic Tradition provides the first detailed historical account of one of England`s great jurists. Until the later decades of the twentieth century, law developed little as an academic discipline in England. One exceptional period of intellectual growth, however, was the late-Victorian era, when a number of brilliant and now celebrated jurists produced works and devised projects which had a crucial impact on the development of English legal thought. Among this band of jurists was the great legal treatise-writer, historian, and editor, Frederick Pollock. Compared with many of his contemporaries, however, Pollock has been largely overlooked by modern legal historians. Drawing upon a vast array of sources, Neil Duxbury offers a detailed picture of this enigmatic figure, examining Pollock`s career, jurisprudence, philosophy of the common law, treatise-writing, and editorial initiatives, and shows that Pollock`s contribution to the… [detailed...]

Bart Beaty
Fredric Wertham And the Critique of Mass Culture

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionToo often remembered solely as the psychiatrist and cultural critic whose testimony in Senate subcommittees sparked the creation of the Comics Code, Fredric Wertham was a far more complex man. Author Bart Beaty traces the evolution of Wertham?s attitudes toward popular culture and re-assesses his place in the debate about pop culture?s effects on youth and society. When The Seduction of the Innocent was published in 1954, Wertham (1895-1981) became instantly known as an authority on child psychology. Although he had published several books before Seduction, its sharp criticism of popular culture in general?and comic books in particular?made it a touchstone for debate about issues of censorship, child protection, and freedom of speech. Despite the nuances of his arguments in that book and his evolution as a critic throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Wertham is best remembered as one of the most inflexible critics of popular culture in postwar… [detailed...]

Never before have the cultural powers- that-be been able to exert such control over what we can and can`t do with the culture around us. Our society defends free markets and free speech, why then does it permit such top-down control? To lose our long tradition of free culture, Lawrence Lessig shows us, is to lose our freedom to create, our freedom to build, and, ultimately, our freedom to imagine. [detailed...]

Swept into World War II, he is taken as a prisoner-of-war, threatened with torture, then locked in a cell of total darkness to wait. He emerges from his cell like Lazarus from the tomb, seeing infinity in a grain of sand and eternity in an hour. Transfigured by his ordeal, he begins to realize what mancan be and what he has gradually made of himself through his own choices. He determines to find the exact point at which the accumulated weight of those choices has deprived him of free will. [detailed...]

Free Jazz and Free Improvisation : An Encyclopedia [Two Volumes]

Description: Book DescriptionThe free jazz revolution that began in the mid-1950s represented an artistic and sociopolitical response to the economic, racial, and musical climate of jazz and the nation. In parallel with the American civil rights movement, free jazz exemplified an escape from the restrictive rules of musical performance with an emphasis on individual expression and musical democracy. A handful of major individual artists opened the gateway to intense personalization of performances through astonishingnew techniques, and inner-city collectives were formed to support artistic experimentation and community education. Reviled by most critics and jazz fans in its nascence, and still highly misunderstood today, free jazz eventually had a profound influenceon subsequent developments in jazz and rock, forever changing the musical landscape.
