Stars Of The Ratland
Author: Sunday Ahuronyeze Abakwue
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1453524711
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 293
Book Description
Once upon a very distant time, a big Rat became the King in the house of Cats. He would walk on his four tiny legs, around the house, barking orders to all the timid Cats, all in their own house. He was the Lord, their Emperor, and even the very King they knew. And there was none, in the big house, like him. One day, however, Lord Lizard came from the bush on a state visit. He had a golden cap on his head. And his hairless skin was wrapped in pure gold. And even the very claws of his four feet were all painted and coated with the very best of purified liquid gold.

The World in Paint
Author: David Peters Corbett
Publisher: Penn State Press
ISBN: 9780271023618
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 344
Book Description
Familiar narratives about the nature of English modernism, &"tradition,&" and &"periodization,&" together with the &"literary&" character of English art from the mid-nineteenth to the early twentieth centuries, are abandoned in this innovative and important book. In their stead, David Peters Corbett proposes a new way of looking at this painting from the Pre-Raphaelites to the Vorticists. Arguing that art history has been too reluctant to confront the fundamental question of how and what the consistency and application of paint signifies, Corbett investigates the work of English artists&—among them Rossetti, Burne-Jones, Leighton, Watts, Whistler, Sickert, and the modernists of 1914 &—through a historical examination of the meanings of the visual in English culture. By revealing that for many artists and thinkers the visual promised to deliver a more profound understanding of the world than language, the book offers a new reading of the art of the period between 1848 and the First World War.

Women's Places
Author: Brenda Martin
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134453019
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 186
Book Description
What was different about the environments that women created as architects, designers and clients at a time when they were gaining increasing political and social status in a male world? Through a series of case studies, Women's Places: Architecture and Design 1860-1960, examines in detail the professional and domestic spaces created by women who had money and the opportunity to achieve their ideal. Set against a background of accepted notions of modernity relating to design and architecture of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, this book provides a fascinating insight into women's social aspirations and identities. It offers new information and new interpretations in the study of gender, material culture and the built environment in the period 1860-1960.
