Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en

The original edition of this ambitious reference was published in hardcover in 1998, in two oversize volumes (10x13"). This edition combines the two volumes into one; it's paperbound ("flexi-cover"--the paper has a plastic coating), smaller (8x10", and affordable for art book buyers with shallower pockets--none of whom should pass it by. The scope is encyclopedic: half the work (originally the first volume) is devoted to painting; the other half to sculpture, new media, and photography. Chapters are arranged thematically, and each page displays several examples (in color) of work under discussion. The final section, a lexicon of artists, includes a small bandw photo of each artist, as well as biographical information and details of work, writings, and exhibitions. Ruhrberg and the three other authors are veteran art historians, curators, and writers, as is editor Walther. c. Book News Inc.

Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 64
Book Description
Arlene Raven is a well known art historian, Ori Z. Soltes is a Judaic scholar, Sandra Lois Langer has published important materials on feminist art, Bezalel Narkiss is a world renowned Jewish art historian & Gabriel M. Goldstein is a talmudic scholar. All of them came together in this monograph to write about the work of Ita Aber, a very complex & diverse historian, conservator, teacher & artist who hears a different drummer. For 55 years she has been producing the work she is compelled to do, bringing together her Canadian Jewish feminist background. Studies in history, art & textiles have contributed to her work which includes paint, fiber, sculpture, jewelry & mixed media. She has been innovative in making outdoor weatherproof paintings, exploring & reevaluating ancient symbols, executing old techniques like fishscale & goldwork embroidery & marrying many of the aforementioned together. As her first book The Art of Judaic Needlework, 1979, was innovative, so this work explores the complex ideas & diverse materials with which she is familiar. This monograph is not just for students, teachers, scholars, museums & libraries. Profusely illustrated with 110 color images.

Drawn To Death

Pages : 127
Book Description
(A paranormal cozy murder mystery with witches) The edge of the heavy metal frame warmed in the palms of my hands as I supported my end, my best friend and fellow artist, Pickle Pickford, grunting as he lifted the opposite side free from the bed of the jacked-up black truck parked at the rear of the gallery. “Careful, please.” I’d only rarely seen my other friend, Dark Mood, in any state of agitation, their typically calm and quiet nature one of the things I adored about them. So, to witness their anxious concern over the massive painting Pickle and I eased out of the truck bed, their icy blue eyes wide and shining white in contrast to the black liner, mascara and shadow creating an almost bulging effect, their pale cheeks ashen under the layers of ivory powder, full lips pulled into a black slash of a line over a grimace of worry that had me actually near giggles at Dark’s obvious nervousness. I didn’t find their discomfort amusing, I promise. It was more so the fact the normally stoic and withdrawn, if always kind and caring, artist and owner of the warehouse collective where I lived and painted was showing, for the first time since I’d met them, actual nerves. When Phoebe’s friend, Dark Mood, is invited to show at a prestigious gallery, she happily assists with a bit of good luck to ensure her anxious companion succeeds. The only trouble is, Phoebe’s resulting bad luck leads her to uncover yet another dead body and puts her front and center in the murder investigation. All while juggling her uncomfortable relationship with Officer Cooper Hudson and the odd darkness lingering around the gallery’s owner Phoebe can’t seem to identify… KEYWORDS: paranormal cozy murder mystery series, paranormal cozy murder mystery book, paranormal mystery series, paranormal mystery book, cozy mystery series, cozy mystery book, cozy murder mystery series, cozy murder mystery book, woman detective, female detective, female sleuth, amateur sleuth
