Mother Stone: the Vitality of Modern British Sculpture
Author: Anne Middleton Wagner
Publisher: Paul Mellon Ctr for Studies
ISBN: 9780300106855
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
In Mother Stone Anne Middleton Wagner looks anew at the carvings of the first generation of British modernists, a group centered around Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth, and Jacob Epstein. Wagner probes the work of these sculptors, discusses their shared avant-garde materialism, and identifies a common theme that runs through their work and that of other artists of the period: maternity. Why were artists for three turbulent decades after the First World War seemingly preoccupied with representations of pregnant women and the mother and child? Why was this the great new subject, especially for sculpture? Why was the imagery of bodily reproduction at the core of the effort to revitalize what in Britain had become a somnolent art? Wagner finds the answers to these questions at the intersection between the politics of maternity and sculptural innovation. She situates British sculpture fully within the new reality of “bio-power”—the realm of Marie Stopes, Brave New World, and Melanie Klein. And in a series of brilliant studies of key works, she offers a radical rereading of this sculpture’s main concerns and formal language.

The Future We Left Behind
Author: Mike A. Lancaster
Publisher: Carolrhoda Lab ®
ISBN: 1606844113
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
Thousands of years in the future, the divide between humanity and technology has become nearly unrecognizable. Each thought, each action is logged, coded, backed up. Data is as easily exchanged through the fiber-optic-like cables that extend from fingertips as it might be through ordinary conversation. It's a brave new world: A world that the Straker Tapes say is a result of many human "upgrades." But no one is sure whether the Straker Tapes are a work of fiction or an eerie peek into an unimaginable past. Nearly sixteen-year-old Peter Vincent has been raised to believe that everything that the backward Strakerites cling to is insane—an utter waste of time and potential. Since his father is David Vincent, genius inventor of the artificial bees that saved the world's crops and prevented massive famine, how could Peter believe anything else? But when Peter meets Alpha, a Strakerite his own age, suddenly the theories about society-upgrades don't sound quite so crazy, especially when she shows him evidence that another upgrade is imminent. And worse, there may be a conspiracy by the leaders of the establishment to cover it up. A conspiracy spearheaded by Peter's own father. Gripping and full of unexpected twists, The Future We Left Behind takes the unsettling questions raised in Human.4 and flips them entirely. What if we knew that the very way we live was about to be changed in an instant, and we could stop it? And what if everything we are sure we know is entirely wrong?

T. S. Lewis's first series: Embers of Night opens with unrelenting break-neck action, earth-shattering powers, a newfound love, and evil so insurmountable, the boundaries of contemporary fantasy tremble in the wake of Red Horizon's debut. Gavin DeMaze discovers every corner of the world— is coming for him. He and his brother Ryan become immersed in a struggle between two ancient and powerful factions. As a Deviant infestation threatens humanity— it’s up to the DeMaze brothers to band together a broken legion of Paladins, to bring order and peace to both the physical and spiritual worlds. When both worlds fall to chaos, only the few have the power to survive, only the Paladins can push back the darkness. Quieter than a shadow's movement or spider's step, a sinister evil spreads.

It promises frightening landscapes, budding romances, faceless souls, and immeasurable odds, where the stakes are higher than ever.
