Essence
Author: Sarah Waggoner
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 179605755X
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 127
Book Description
Essence is a collection of poems reflecting on the influences and obstacles that leave us with an option to rise from the ashes of personal tragedy, or be blown away in the wind. Through the author’s abstract observations humanity is linked to the inhuman, painting nature in a way that demonstrates the connection between the spirits of humanity and the Earth. The book portrays how the forces of life and death affect the human soul, bridging the gap between the realms, and building the foundation of who we are along the way. The book speaks to Nature’s spiritual inspirations that allows us to push forward and grow. Essence is a true odyssey of the elements that shape our character; building or breaking our hearts, weakening or strengthening our spirit, and forever shaping our soul.

Angels of Art

Pages : 308
Book Description
Images of women were ubiquitous in America at the turn of the last century. In painting and sculpture, they took on a bewildering variety of identities, from Venus, Ariadne, and Diana to Law, Justice, the Arts, and Commerce. Bailey Van Hook argues here that the artists' concepts of art coincided with the construction of gender in American culture. She finds that certain characteristics such as &"ideal,&" &"beautiful,&" &"decorative,&" and &"pure&" both describe this art and define the perceived role of women in American society at the time. Most late nineteenth-century American artists had trained in Paris, where they learned to use female imagery as a pictorial language of provocative sensuality. Van Hook first places the American artists in an international context by discussing the works of their French teachers, including Jean-L&éon G&ér&ôme and Alexandre Cabanel. She goes on to explore why they soon had to distance themselves from that context, primarily because their art was perceived as either openly sensual or too obliquely foreign by American audiences. Van Hook delineates the modes of representation the American painters chose, which ranged from the more traditional allegorical or mythological subjects to a decorative figure painting indebted to Whistler. Changing American culture ultimately rejected these idealized female images as too genteel and, eventually, too academic and European. Angels of Art is the first study to discuss the predominance of images of women across stylistic boundaries and within the wider context of European art. It relies heavily on contemporary sources both to document critical responses and to find intersecting patterns in attitudes toward women and art.
