Henri Matisse: Figure Color Space

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: No other subject inspired Henri Matisse with such passion throughout his career as the female figure in interior settings. This is the most comprehensive publication to cover the topic of women in the work of the great regenerator of European painting, and in so doing, it covers the full spectrum of MatisseA­s creative evolution, from the small, somber, early pictures to the masterly compositions of his Fauvist phase, the intimate pictorial inventions of the Nice period, and finally the luminous paper cutouts of his late work. Many of the interiors show women reading, sleeping or daydreaming, passive figures enveloped in Oriental fabrics, costumed as odalisques or reclining on chaise longues. Additional motifs include the artist and his model, the artistA­s studio, the portrait, the still-life, and the view from a window. Figure Color Space offers an in-depth survey of this important subject in MatisseA­s work, through which he developed and continually explored his rich and… [detailed...]

Margaret Rigaud-Drayton
Henri Michaux: Poetry, Painting, And The Universal Sign (Oxford Modern Languages and Literature Monographs)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionHenri Michaux is widely recognized as a major twentieth-century French poet and painter. Although his fascination with universal languages has attracted the attention of several of his critics, it has up until now been treated as a marginal concern. Henri Michaux: Poetry, Painting, and the Universal Sign argues that his ideas on what might constitute a universal language are central to an understanding of his works. It suggests that both his ambivalent articulation of his relationship to the languages and literary traditions of his native Belgium and adoptive France, and his efforts simultaneously to exacerbate and subvert the differences between words and images, are rooted in Enlightenment theories of the relationship of the self to nature and its language Rigaud-Drayton`s study makes a substantial and original contribution to the study of this complex artist, exploring the intricate relationships between word and image in his poetry and paintings, and his quest for… [detailed...]

Henri Rousseau: Jungles in Paris

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Henri Rousseau (1844-1910) was a self-taught artist with a unique style, exemplified in his visionary jungle scenes. These dream-like tableaux, for which he drew heavily on visits to Paris` Botanical Gardens, captivate with the lushness of their plant an animal life, while unsettling the viewer with their heady combination of exoticism and romanticism. This sumptuously illustrated book provides not only a comprehensive overview of Rousseau`s career, but also penetrating insights into his inspiraton. With large, color reproductions of his paintings, many previously unpublished illustrations of his sources and influences, and a wealth of new research on his life and work (including the only interview conducted with the artist), Henri Rousseau: Jngles in Paris is poised to become the definitive volume on this remarkable painter.

Toril Moi
Henrik Ibsen and the Birth of Modernism: Art, Theater, Philosophy

2008 y.
Publisher: Oxford University Press
Description: Henrik Ibsen is the founder of modern theater, and his plays are performed all over the world. Yet in spite of his unquestioned status as a classic of the stage, Ibsen is often dismissed as a fuddy duddy old realist, whose plays are of interest only because they remain the gateway to modern theater. In Henrik Ibsen and the Birth of Modernism, Toril Moi makes a powerful case not just for Ibsen`s modernity, but for his modernism. Situating Ibsen in his cultural context, she shows how unexpected his rise to world fame was, and the extent of his influence on writers such Shaw, Wilde, and Joyce who were seeking to escape the shackles of Victorianism. Henrik Ibsen and the Birth of Modernism also rewrites nineteenth century literary history, positioning Ibsen between visual art and philosophy, the book offers a critique of traditional theories of the opposition between realism and modernism. Modernism, Moi argues, arose from the ruins of idealism, the dominant aesthetic paradigm of the… [detailed...]

Henry Adams: Novels Mont Saint Michel The Education

1983 y.
Publisher: Library of America
Description: `In these collected texts one sees the full range of Henry Adams: the dabbler in fiction who, like many a current Washington journalist, covered the national scene with stark, frightening accuracy, the philosophical thinker who reverted to medievalism and Mariolatry as means by which to speculate on his contemporary world as well as upon the mind of the past, the professor and introspectionist who, in spite of his private scruples, publicly asserted that his entire life had been an education in failure. The apparatus prepared by Ernest and Jayne Samuels is illuminating: their precise chronology of Adams`s interesting and formidable life, the notes on the texts (especially useful for the novels where the editors identify those contemporary Washington politicians and other luminaries Adams studied as prototypes) are exhaustive, and the few Adams fugitive writings--his poems, in particular--help in delivering this total literary-historical picture.` —Language and Literature, March… [detailed...]

Henry Austin: In Every Variety of Architectural Style

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Henry Austin`s (1804-1891) works receive consideration in books on nineteenth-century architecture, yet no book has focused scholarly attention on his primary achievements in New Haven, Connecticut, in Portland, Maine, and elsewhere. Austin was most active during the antebellum era, designing exotic buildings that have captured the imaginations of many for decades. James F. O`Gorman deftly documents Austin`s work during the 1840s and `50s, the time when Austin was most productive and creative, and for which a wealth of material exists. The book is organized according to various building types: domestic, ecclesiastic, public, and commercial. O`Gorman helps to clarify what buildings should be attributed to the architect and comments on the various styles that went into his eclectic designs. Henry Austin is lavishly illustrated with 132 illustrations, including 32 in full color. Three extensive appendices provide valuable information on Austin`s books, drawings, and his office.

Alfred I. Tauber
Henry David Thoreau and the Moral Agency of Knowing

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionIn his graceful philosophical account, Alfred I. Tauber shows why Thoreau still seems so relevant today--more relevant in many respects than he seemed to his contemporaries. Although Thoreau has been skillfully and thoroughly examined as a writer, naturalist, mystic, historian, social thinker, Transcendentalist, and lifelong student, we may find in Tauber`s portrait of Thoreau the moralist a characterization that binds all these aspects of his career together. Thoreau was caught at a critical turn in the history of science, between the ebb of Romanticism and the rising tide of positivism. He responded to the challenges posed by the new ideal of objectivity not by rejecting the scientific worldview, but by humanizing it for himself. Tauber portrays Thoreau as a man whose moral vision guided his life`s work. Each of Thoreau`s projects reflected a self-proclaimed `metaphysical ethics,` an articulated program of self-discovery and self-knowing. By writing, by combining… [detailed...]

After a romantic episode with a young woman that ended in his getting into trouble with the law, he went to London where he began writing. When the Theatrical Licensing Act of 1737 was passed it became almost impossible to produce plays on political satire. At this point Fielding went back to his career in law. In 1741 fielding began writing novels. His satirical humor and earthy style are evident in his most famous work Tom Jones. Fielding is also credited with forming London`s first police force while he was a magistrate [detailed...]

Description: 1923. In this work, the author tried to tell what he saw in Mr. Henry Ford. He tried to get at Ford`s motives. He tried to get into Ford`s heart. He tried to picture Ford first of all as a human being with his family and his friends. Then the author tried to set forth Ford`s business ideals and principles by direct quotations that came from his own lips and his own heart. Stidger tried to be Biblical in his dealing with this man. Ford is human like the rest of us and has his faults, but the author confesses that he did not go to Mr. Ford to search out his faults and failings. He may have them. All Stidger knows is that no taint has ever sullied Ford`s name. [detailed...]

Description: HENRY FORD`S LEAN VISION Enduring Principles from the First Ford Motor Plant William A. Levinson In HENRY FORD`S LEAN VISION, William A. Levinson draws from Henry Ford`s writings, the procedures in his factories, and historical anecdotes about the birth of lean in Japan to show that the philosophy that revolutionized Japanese manufacturing was the same philosophy that grew the Ford Motor Company into a global powerhouse. Levinson reveals how Ford was ahead of other modern visionaries and discusses why the very ideas that made his company such a success were abandonded in his own country, and why they finally found acceptance in Japan. HENRY FORD`S LEAN VISION is a hands-on reference that provides the reader with proven principles and methods that can be applied in any business or service enterprise. It covers all aspects of building and running a successful enterprise, including Ford`s principles for human relationships and the management of physical resources. [detailed...]

Henry Fuseli (British Artists series) (British Artists)

Description: Henry Fuseli`s work has always been the subject of speculation, gossip and fantasy, from the rumours of his opium addiction and his predilection for eating raw pork, to modern views of him variously as a prime exponent of Neoclassicism, a Romantic before his time, or an aberrant individualist pre-empting the innovations of Surrealism. This title offers an interpretation of the artist, placing him firmly in the context of a period of traumatic social, cultural and political revolution. A series of thematic chapters explore the successive phases of his career, from his early work in London, to his old age, the period of his greatest professional success when he exerted a profound influence on a whole generation of younger British artists.

Henry George`s Legacy in Economic Thought

This collection redresses this neglect, by presenting a range of perspectives on Henry George`s fertile ideas which, it is increasingly argued, merit revisiting in terms of their capacity to contribute towards solutions to current problems including runaway land values, nationalization of land, monopoly control of public assets and environmental degradation. The book also discusses George`s significant theoretical contributions, including the `Henry George Theorem` - named after him by two Nobel prize winning economists - and important insights bearing on the relation of evolutionary theory to economics. The authors also discuss George`s powerful influence on the economic development of Australia and New Zealand and the affinity he felt… [detailed...]
