The Magnetic Era: Video Art in the Netherlands 1970-1985

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionVideo has commanded a place within the domain of the visual arts since 1965 and has now grown into one of the most widely used forms of art. After the successful introduction of the medium in the United States, Europe followed suit with the Netherlands playing a pioneering role. The video-art circuit in the Netherlands evolved thanks to a unique cross-fertilization of local and international tendencies, and to the provision of workshop facilities by institutions like Het Lijnbaanscentrum,Jan van Eijck Akademie, Monte Video and De Appel. From the early 1970s to the mid-80s, the new medium rapidly achieved maturity, with artists discovering its creative possibilities and documentary expressiveness--but continuously needing to defend its validity. The gradual integration of simpler and cheaper montage techniques in the production process marked a turning point for video art, clearing the way for its assimilation into the art world in the 90s. Recognizing that there are… [detailed...]

The Magnificent Mrs Tennant: The Adventurous Life of Gertrude Tennant, Victorian Grande Dame

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Gertrude Tennant’s life was remarkable for its length (1819–1918), but even more so for the influence she achieved as an unsurpassed London hostess. The salon she established when widowed in her early fifties attracted legions of celebrities, among them William Gladstone and Benjamin Disraeli, Oscar Wilde, Mark Twain, Thomas Huxley, John Everett Millais, Henry James, and Robert Browning. In her youth she had a fling with Gustave Flaubert, and in her later years she became the redoubtable mother-in-law to the explorer Henry Morton Stanley. But as a woman in a male-dominated world, Mrs. Tennant has been remembered mainly as a footnote in the lives of eminent men. This book recovers the lost life of Gertrude Tennant, drawing on a treasure trove of recently discovered family papers—thousands of letters, including two dozen original letters from Flaubert to Tennant, dozens of diaries, and many other unpublished documents relating to Stanley and other famous figures of the nineteenth and… [detailed...]

The Mahler Family Letters

Description: Hundreds of the letters that Gustav Mahler addressed to his parents and siblings survive, yet they have remained virtually unknown. Now, for the first time Mahler scholar Stephen McClatchie presents over 500 of these letters in a clear, lively translation in The Mahler Family Letters . Drawn primarily from the Mahler-Rose Collection at the University of Western Ontario, the volume presents a complete, well-rounded view of the family`s correspondence. Spanning the mid 1880s through 1910, the letters record the excitement of a young man with a bourgeoning career as a conductor and provide a glimpse into his day-to-day activities rehearsing and conducting operas and concerts in Budapeast and Hamburg, and composing his first symphonies and songs. On the private side, they document his parents` illnesses and deaths and the struggles of his siblings Alois, Justine, Otto, and Emma. The letters also give Mahler`s insightful impressions of contemporaries such as Johannes Brahms, Richard… [detailed...]

The Maiden of Ludmir: A Jewish Holy Woman and Her World (S. Mark Taper Foundation Imprint in Jewish Studies)

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionHannah Rochel Verbermacher, a Hasidic holy woman known as the Maiden of Ludmir, was born in early-nineteenth-century Russia and became famous as the only woman in the three-hundred-year history of Hasidism to function as a rebbe--or charismatic leader--in her own right. Nathaniel Deutsch follows the traces left by the Maiden in both history and legend to fully explore her fascinating story for the first time. The Maiden of Ludmir offers powerful insights into the Jewish mystical tradition, into the Maiden`s place within it, and into the remarkable Jewish community of Ludmir. Her biography ultimately becomes a provocative meditation on the complex relationships between history and memory, Judaism and modernity. History first finds the Maiden in the eastern European town of Ludmir, venerated by her followers as a master of the Kabbalah, teacher, and visionary, and accused by her detractors of being possessed by a dybbuk, or evil spirit.

The Maine Poets: A Verse Anthology

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionMore than most states, Maine has always had a rich literary heritage, including such poetic luminaries as Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Edwin Arlington Robinson, and Edna St. Vincent Millay. Some of the work of these three, plus that of 34 other poets, make up this comprehensive anthology. Editor Wesley McNair has selected the finest poems by Maine`s best poets, and the styles range from classic to contemporary. Not all of the poems to be found here are exclusively about Maine -- proofof the universal reach and appeal of both region and writer -- but each verse certainly conveys aspects of Maine`s unique character, be it a staunch work ethic, a tone of wry Yankee humor, or the morality of Puritan values. Poems were not chosen for their popularity, readers looking for an old favorite might not find it here, but will perhaps be led to a new understanding and appreciation of Maine`s poets.

The Majesty of Spain: Royal Collections from The Museo del Prado &, The Patrimonio Nacional

2001 y.
Publisher: Mississippi Commission for International Cultural Exchange
Description: In the long history of Spanish arts and fine crafts, the years 1746 to 1833, in particular, witnessed a remarkable surge in the creation of masterworks in all artistic genres. The great 18th-and early 19th-century architects erected buildings ranging from grand royal palaces and gardens to smaller-scaled, intricate `casitas` (country cottages). Painters, including Mengs, Tiepolo, Van Loo, Giaquinto, and the incomparable Francisco de Goya, filled these residences with magnificent murals, portraits, still-lifes and landscapes. Goya created, as well, the delightful cartoons to be crafted into lavish embroidered tapestries depicting landscapes and scenes from daily life. This was the era of the Royal Factories and Workshops, created by Charles III to support the education of Spain`s finest artisans and craftsmen, as well as to decorate the royal homes with the finest art objects in porcelain, wood, ivory, bronze, silver and crystal.

Description: Book DescriptionClark Ashton Smith was a prodigy, who wrote Arabian Nights novels in his mid-teens and was heralded as a major voice in American poetry by the time he was nineteen. In one frantic burst in the middle 1930s, he wrote nearly a hundred strange, wondrous, and grotesque stories, most of which were published in Weird Tales, Strange Tales, Wonder Stories, and other pulps, but he was by no means a conventional pulp writer. A direct heir to Edgar Allan Poe and to the late Romantics and Decadents, a translator of Baudelaire, Smith wrote in baroque, jeweled prose of distant times and remote planets, of baleful magics and reanimated corpses, lost lovers, eldritch gods, and inexorable fate. He is also a writer whose works refuse to die, even after nearly a century. Think of him as the sorcerer-poet, alone in his eyrie in the dry California hills, dreaming his strange dreams and creating his unique worlds-of Zothique, the Earth`s haunted last conti- nent at the end of time,… [detailed...]

Joos was a young man of 19 when, hearing about Laban`s pioneering work, he decided to pay a visit to the master. He soon became his assistant and lead male dancer.

The Making Of Global Finance 1880-1913 (Development Centre Studies)

2004 y.
Publisher: Organization for Economic Cooperation &, Devel
Description: This book traces the roots of global financial integration in the first `modern` era of globalization, from 1880 to 1913. It analyzes the direction, destinations, and origins of international financial flows in order to determine the domestic policy choices that either attracted or deterred such flows to developing countries. The authors dispel the idea that the gold standard and other institutional arrangements were the key to attracting foreign investment, pointing to the stability and probity of political systems as much more important. One of their major conclusions is that the successful management of international financial integration depends primarily on broad institutional and political factors, as well as on financial policies, rather than simply opening or closing individual economies to the international winds. The Making of Global Finance 1880?1913 can serve as a valuable tool for current policy dilemmas, providing historical data to show which policies led… [detailed...]
