Jan Hendrix, Issa Maria Benitez
Jan Hendrix: Travel Diary

2003 y.
Publisher: Turner
Description: Fascinated by great, untouched landscapes, Jan Hendrix has traveled the world, from Spain and Mexico to Australia and the Netherlands, confronting and being confronted by primeval forces that, at once overwhelming and mysterious, constitute the very essence of existence. During his travels, Hendrix has regularly captured the landscape with a Polaroid camera, transforming these immediate images through dissection and reduction into essential, abstract shapes, which he uses in his silkscreens. In Travel Diary , the artist presents 10 years of his drawings of nature the world over, alongside maps of the places he`s been. Specific subjects are the natural elements found in each place, whether trees, leaves, rocks, or rivers. Nobel Prizewinner Seamus Heaney writes an accompanying text. [detailed...]

Jan Koster: Dutchscapes (Dutch Edition)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Dutch landscape photographer Jan Koster first became known for his innovative river landscapes, for which he turned the camera 120 degrees around one point and created stunning panoramic scenes. For the new work featured in ``Dutchscapes,`` Koster abandoned the panoramic format, systematically covering the Dutch coastline in single mammoth images, documenting the dunes, sea, and dikes. The end result of this lengthy foray along the Dutch coast is an overwhelmingly serene and visually spacious series of photographs. As quoted by art historian, Merel Bem, Koster`s monumental photographs should be viewed not only in photographic terms but also as an extension of the Dutch landscape painting tradition.

Jan van Eyck: The Ince Hall Virgin and Child and the Scientific Examination of Early Netherlandish Painting

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The Ince Hall Virgin and Child is a small painting that was acquired by the Felton Bequest for the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne in 1922. Since its discovery by Gustav Friedrich Waagen in 1850 it had been attributed to the leading Renaissance artist Jan van Eyck, and was regarded around the world as a gem of early Netherlandish painting. However, between 1956 and 1959 it was subject to a technical and art historical re-appraisal by European experts in the re-classification of the work as a copy after a lost original by Van Eyck, and possibly a forgery. This is the first comprehensive review of the scientific and art historical analysis to be published since the 1950s. It re-examines the autograph status of the work, to correct the inaccuracies and inconsistencies of its analysis, to emphasise the ambiguous nature of much of the evidence cited to sustain the de-attribution, and to present material that can be used to argue for the authenticity of the painting. More broadly,… [detailed...]

Janaab` Pakal of Palenque: Reconstructing the Life And Death of a Maya Ruler

2006 y.
Publisher: University of Arizona Press
Description: Excavations of Maya burial vaults at Palenque, Mexico, half a century ago revealed what was then the most extraordinary tomb finding of the pre-Columbian world, its discovery has been crucial to an understanding of the dynastic history and ideology of the ancient Maya. Over the years, new analytical tools introduced uncertainties regarding earlier interpretations of the findings, and a reanalysis of the remains of the ruler Janaab’ Pakal using contemporary methodologies has led to new interpretations of former accounts of his life and death. This volume communicates the broad scope of applied interdisciplinary research conducted on the Pakal remains to provide answers to old disputes over the accuracy of both skeletal and epigraphic studies, along with new questions in the field of Maya dynastic research. Contributions by scholars in epigraphy, anthropology, and bioarchaeology bring to light new evidence regarding the ruler’s age, clarify his medical history and the identification of… [detailed...]

Publisher: —
Description: Book Description Once thought to be a provincial composer of only passing interest to eccentrics, Leos Janacek (1854-1928) is now widely acknowledged as one of the most powerful and original creative figures of his time. Banned for all purposes from the Prague stage until the age of 62, and unable to make it even out of the provincial capital of Brno, his operas are now performed in dynamic productions throughout the globe. This volume brings together some of the world`s foremost Janacek scholars to look closely at a broad range of issues surrounding his life and work. Representing the latest in Janacek scholarship, the essays are accompanied by newly translated writings by the composer himself.

Description: n nn HER LIFE AND LETTERS A FAMILY RECORD BY WILLIAM AUSTEN-LEIGH AND RICHARD ARTHUR AUSTEN-LEIGH WITH A PORTRAIT NEW YORK K. P. DUTTON COMPANY 31 WEST TWENTY-THIRD STREET 1913 MM C - u v PREFACE SINCE 1870-1, when J. E. Austen Leigh l published his Memoir of Jane Austen, considerable additions have been made to the stock of information available for her biographers. Of these fresh sources of knowledge the set of letters from Jane to Cassandra, edited by Lord Brabourne, has been by far the most important. These letters are invaluable as memoires pour servir although they cover only the comparatively rare periods when the two sisters were separated, and although Cassandra purposely destroyed many of the letters likely to prove the most interesting, from a distaste for publicity. Some further correspondence, and many incidents in the careers of two of her brothers, may be read in Jane Austens Sailor Brothers, by J. H. Hubback and Edith C. Hubback while Miss Constance Hill has been able… [detailed...]

Jane Austen Sings the Blues

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This title contains book &, CD. `Miscellanies` - collections of literary musings gathered together - formed a staple for any nineteenth-century reader. This book retains the feel of these varied collections, making it a fitting tribute to Bruce Stovel, respected Austen scholar, colleague, friend, and lover of Blues music. Bruce Stovel championed Jane Austen studies and Blues music with equal measures of expertise and passion. The outpouring of affection at the celebration of Bruce`s life and at a subsequent musical tribute inspired the plan for a book that would celebrate Bruce as teacher, Austen scholar, and Blues aficionado. The book gathers essays by established Austen scholars (including Margaret Drabble, Isobel Grundy, Juliet McMaster, and Peter Sabor) and some of his exemplary students, together with Blues lyrics, poetry, and memoir. The companion CD features some of Bruce`s favourite Blues performers (Ann Rabson, Maurice John Vaughn, Graham Guest, and many others). [detailed...]

Paula Byrne
Jane Austen and the Theatre

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description Jane Austen enjoyed and was greatly interested in the theatre. Many of her novels, with their memorable individual characters, dramatic confrontations and surprising denouements, owe part of their effect to theatrical inspiration. The dra-matic impact of her novels is demonstrat-ed by the ease with which they have been adapted for television and film. In Jane Austen and the Theatre Paula Byrne makes clear the important part the theatre played in both Jane Austen`s life and work. There is no doubt about Jane Austen`s own passion for the stage. She went to the theatre in London and Bath whenever she could, acted in private theatricals, and wrote a number of her early works in play form. Living in a great age of English stage comedy, she drew inspiration from Sheridan as well as Shakespeare. Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Emma and Mansfield Park are, as Paula Byrne shows, all shaped by the comic drama of the period and by Jane Austen`s own… [detailed...]

In the twenty-first century her boundless appeal continues to grow following the enormously successful TV and film adaptations of Mansfield Park, Pride and Prejudice, Emma, Persuasion, and of course, Sense and Sensibility. This illuminating, entertaining, up-to-date companion is the only general guide to Jane Austen, her work, and her world. Josephine Ross explores the literary scene during the time Austen?s works first appeared: the books considered classics then, the `horrid novels` and romances, and the grasping publishers. She looks at the architecture and decor of Austen?s era that made up `the profusion and elegance of modern taste`: Regency houses for instance, Chippendale furniture, `picturesque scenery.` On the smaller scale she answers questions that may baffle modern readers of Austen?s work. What, for example, was… [detailed...]

Jane Austen`s Guide to Good Manners: Compliments, Charades &, Horrible Blunders

2006 y.
Publisher: Bloomsbury USA
Description: Jane Austen’s Guide to Good Manners is a light-hearted, insightful handbook written as if intended for her original Regency Era readers, and illustrated throughout with beautiful watercolors. When Anna, Jane Austen’s young niece, sent her a novel for “literary comment,” Jane loved everything about it, except its utter disregard for the manners of the day. The resulting and tender correspondence between the two serves as the foundation for this instructional book. Etiquette and social behavior of the early 1800s come to life in lovely chapters teaching one on how to pay and return formal “calls,” how to properly refuse a proposal of marriage, who should lead off the dancing at a country-house ball, and what to wear for a morning walk. Jane Austen used these daily customs and niceties to brilliantly illuminate the cloistered world of high society women in her timeless novels. Now with this delightful handbook of correct social… [detailed...]
