Something Coming
Author: Gail E. Husch
Publisher: UPNE
ISBN: 9781584650065
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 332
Book Description
This major contribution to the study of antebellum religious art offers a detailed case study of American postmillennialism and its many visual expressions. Treating paintings as "intersections of cultural expression," Gail E. Husch begins with a single painting to spin out an interpretation in many directions, from the specific aesthetic and social concerns of artist and patron to the wider political and cultural concerns of Americans in the mid-19th century. Arguing that "genuine apocalyptic faith" was fundamental to American Protestants, Husch shows how artists, patrons, and ordinary citizens actively engaged contemporary questions of peace and war, freedom and slavery, and the equality of human beings before God in their visual arts. Part of an emerging revaluation of the role of the religious in American art, Husch asks us to read ideas as they function in works, rather than see images merely as passive illustrations of ideas. Weaving images drawn from high and low culture, politics, and religion, she develops a complex cultural narrative of the times, thus showing the truth of one picture being worth a thousand words.

Pages : 0
Book Description
This is a novel about a down-and-outer and his small daughter and his attempt to provide more for her than she has been given either by him or her mother. Trucks, an aging boxer, breaks his daughter, Claudia, out of a children's home in Wisconsin one night during the dead of winter. She is a winsome, feisty little girl who tries to hold her father to account, and Trucks loves her unconditionally. He gives her used hearing aids to help with her deafness, and they begin hitchhiking to Nevada. Claudia's mother, an addict, has disappeared and is probably dead. Their first ride takes them to Sioux Falls, South Dakota where Trucks teaches Claudia about "need borrowing," or shoplifting. They have only $30. They meet a number of people on their journey, including June, a woman about Trucks' age who was abandoned by her husband, and Gerald, an older rancher in Montana who offers them a place to stay, an offer Trucks refuses. Trucks is unable to find work, except for boxing--he is trapped in an activity for which he is no longer suited. The damage to his body does not heal, but worsens, fight after fight. And it hurts Claudia to see her father hurt. Depressed and confused, his mind no longer reliable, Trucks steals a car and he and Claudia drive east, delusional and drifting in and out of consciousness, to try to reconnect with June.

A Different Look at Life

Languages : en
Pages : 49
Book Description
Great Poets A true poet doesnt need a higher education; theyre just born with it, within their soul. It is truly a gift from above, to be able to speak passionately with words. Its a gift like a singer. A true singer doesnt need lessons, because God kissed their pipes, the true Creator of all gifts big and small. A true poet knows from a very small child, how they began to play with words instead of toys. They noticed how they could make words do almost anything like numbers. But if you are studying to become a great poet, you must dig deep inside yourself, separate your mind from your body. You must be a dreamer or a person with visions, able to see a face inside of the moon or something. You have to be a person who wants to make a change in the world, or just want to be heard. You must not be afraid to express your views on life or what other might say or think. Your thoughts can influence someones life in a major way. You could change someones path forever. Your poetry will make a difference if you put your mind, your soul, your heart, into it.
