John Buck: Iconography, From the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Over the past four decades Iowa-born artist John Buck, working out of his studios in Bozeman, Montana, and in Hawaii, has created a large and enormously important body of woodblock prints and rubbings, sculpture, and three-dimensional wood panels in which both his two- and three-dimensional forms are saturated with a visual and spatial richness of images, icons, symbols, motifs, and an intensely lyrical and deeply authentic evocation of both the natual and social worlds. Tough-minded and visually complex, buck`s art comprises a thorough and relentless examination of deeply personal and shared social concerns. This book includes works from throughout the artist`s career: a complete catalogue raisonne of prints from 1980 to 2007, representative works of wood sculpture, a selection of shadowbox-like wood panels, and works from his little-known glass jar series.

John Cage Book of Days

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Few twentieth-century artists have been as quotable as the ever-pithy composer, writer, philosopher and artist John Cage, and his aphorisms have become the mantras of fans the world over. `I have nothing to say/and I am saying it/and that is poetry as I know it` is just one of his most famous observations, regularly cited by artists and thinkers across all disciplines. Celebrating Cage`s gift for playful, concise wisdom, and produced by the John Cage Trust under the guidance of its director, Laura Kuhn, the John Cage Book of Days is a 2010 pocket calendar that brings together the composer`s words with noteworthy historical events in Cage`s life, as well as tiny fragments drawn from his visual artworks. Bound in a soft cover that features one of his famous Ryoanji drawings, this Book of Days gathers all aspects of Cage`s work into a volume that makes even the mundane task of managing a life pleasurable and fresh.

David Nicholls
John Cage

2007 y.
Publisher: University of Illinois Press
Description: John Cage was a giant of American experimental music--composer, writer, and artist. He is most widely known for his 1952 composition 4`33, whose three movements continue to challenge the definition of music by being performed without playing a single note. In questioning fundamental tenets of Western music, Cage was often at the center of controversy, and is regarded as an important contributor to many facets of American culture. To enable readers to understand what makes Cage such an extraordinary figure, David Nicholls masterfully places his striking body of prose and poetry, over 300 music compositions, and prominent performance career into historical, environmental, intellectual, philosophical, and aesthetic contexts. Nicholls` intimate study of John Cage`s personal and professional life confirms the legacy of this major figure in twentieth-century American culture. [detailed...]

John Calvin: Man of the Millennium

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: July 10, 2009, marks the 500th anniversary of the birth of John Calvin. Over time, this Genevan s life and labors shook the West and blazed a trail for liberty around the globe, making him arguably the most important man of the last millennium. Calvin s worldview spurred Huguenot freedom-fighters to resist tyranny in France, fueled evangelistic efforts to pagan tribes, and, with Knox s aid, rekindled freedom s fire among the sturdy Scots. Moreover, his influence compelled a hardy group of Pilgrims to settle at Plymouth Rock and later drove a rag-tag band of patriots to fight for American independence. Great as a family read-aloud, this volume brings to life the pivotal moments of Calvin s life, including his sudden conversion to Christ, his unforgettable call to Geneva by William Farel, his ongoing struggle with the Libertines, and his marriage and love for his wife, Idelette. It illustrates the key elements of his theology, explains the important roles that he played as… [detailed...]

John Chamberlain: Papier Paradisio/ Drawings, Collages, Reliefs, Paintings

Publisher: —
Description: When John Chamberlain began his career in the late 1950s, his starting point was Abstract Expressionist painting. As has since been remarked, his twisted, laquered, partially painted, metal sculptures eventually created a new, three-dimensional Abstract Expressionism. This collection of his two-dimensional works from different creative phases brings him back to that starting point and suggests other directions he might have taken--and quietly did take, in sketching--reinforcing both the pictoral character of his work and his unconventional way with materials. Papier Paradisio includes subtle improvised works on paper, small reliefs made in cardboard and metal, spray paintings and Formica. [detailed...]

Publisher: —
Description: Published to coincide with editor Blake Bailey?s groundbreaking new biography, here are the five novels of John Cheever, together in one volume for the first time. In these dazzling works Cheever laid bare the failings and foibles of not just the ascendant postwar elite but also the fallen Yankee aristocrats who stubbornly? and often grotesquely and hilariously?cling to their shabby gentility as the last vestige of former glory. Complete Novels gathers: the riotous family saga The Wapshot Chronicle (winner of the National Book Award) and its sequel The Wapshot Scandal (winner of the William Dean Howells Medal), the dark suburban drama Bullet Park (?a magnificent work of fiction,? John Gardner remarked in The New York Times Book Review), the prison novel Falconer, a radical departure that met with both critical and popular acclaim, and the lyrical ecological fable Oh What a Paradise It Seems.

John Clare : A Biography

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description The long-awaited literary biography of the supreme `poets` poet` John Clare (1793-1864) is the greatest labouring-class poet that England has ever produced. No one has ever written more powerfully of nature, of a rural childhood, and of the alienated and unstable self, but until now he has never been the subject of a comprehensive literary biography. Here at last is his full story told by the light of his voluminous work: his birth in poverty, his work as an agricultural labourer, his burgeoning promise as a writer--cultivated under the gaze of rival patrons--then his moment of fame in the company of John Keats and the toast of literary London, and finally his decline into mental illness and his last years confined in asylums. Clare`s ringing voice--quick-witted, passionate, vulnerable, courageous--emerges in generous quotation from his letters, journals, autobiographical writings, and his poems, as Jonathan Bate, the celebrated scholar of… [detailed...]

This volume helps to show that far from being brilliant yet isolated, Clare was deeply involved in the rich cultural life of both his village and the larger metropolis. Offering an account of Clare’s poems as they relate to the literary culture and burgeoning literary history of his day, Mina Gorji defines the context in which Clare’s work can best be understood: in relation to eighteenth-century traditions as they persisted and developed in the Romantic period.

Sarah Houghton-Walker
John Clare`s Religion (The Nineteenth Century Series)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Addressing a neglected aspect of John Clare`s history, Sarah Houghton-Walker explores Clare`s poetry within the framework of his faith and the religious context in which he lived. While Clare expressed affection for the Established Church and other denominations on various occasions, Houghton-Walker brings together a vast array of evidence to show that any exploration of Clare`s religious faith must go beyond pulpit and chapel. Phenomena that Clare himself defines as elements of faith include ghosts, witches, and literature, as well as concepts such as selfhood, Eden, eternity, childhood, and evil. Together with more traditional religious expressions, these apparently disparate features of Clare`s spirituality are revealed to be of fundamental significance to his poetry, and it becomes evident that Clare`s experiences can tell us much about the experience of `religion`, `faith`, and `belief` in the period more generally.A distinguishing characteristic of Houghton-Walker`s approach is… [detailed...]

Description: Book DescriptionHow can one understand what the artist`s eye sees? In this volume, the first in an occasional series of monographs, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, confronts the specific vision of a contemporary artist, publishing reproductions of artwork chosen by that artist alongside his own pieces. The celebrated young figurative painter John Currin has here selected some 30 works of portraiture, ancient to modern, from the MFA`s permanent collection, evaluating them as one might a friend, enemy, orlover--subjectively, passionately, at times irrationally, but always with a visceral sense of connection and personal insight. Currin pairs these portraits, which in their juxtaposition become a composite self-portrait, with commentary on the works and the ways in which they relate to his own painting. Essays by: Cheryl Brutvan and John Currin. Paperback, 5 x 7 in., 96 pages, 40 color illustrations [detailed...]
