Der weibliche Akt, geschaffen als Dialog zwischen Kunstler und Muse.

Denton Welch (1915-48) died at the age of thirty-three after a brief but brilliant career as a writer and painter. The revealing, poignant, impressionistic voice that buoys his novels was much praised by critics and literati in England and has since inspired creative artists from William S. Burroughs to John Waters. His achievements were all the more remarkable because he suffered from debilitating spinal and pelvic injuries incurred in a bicycle accident at age eighteen. Though German bombs were ravaging Britain, Welch wrote in his published work about the idyllic landscapes and local people he observed in Kent. There, in 1943, he met and fell in love with Eric Oliver, a handsome, intelligent, but rather insecure "landboy"--an agricultural worker with the wartime Land Army. Oliver would become a companion, comrade, lover, and caretaker during the last six years of Welch's life. All fifty-one letters that Welch wrote to Oliver are collected and annotated here for the first time. They offer a historical record of life amidst the hardship, deprivation, and fear of World War II, and also are a timeless testament of one young man's tender and intimate emotions, his immense courage in adversity, and his continual struggle for love and creative existence.

As the first serious study and presentation of the Sheldon Museum of Art's collection of works on paper, this catalog introduces students and art lovers alike to the largest, most international area of the museum's holdings, which includes prints and drawings from the European Renaissance to the present. Like the other collection catalogs in the American Transnationalism series, this publication draws together a team of distinguished scholars and features some of the museum's most iconic works. These include rarely seen yet important objects such as medieval manuscript illuminations and Renaissance prints; nineteenth-century drawings and prints by such artists as Mary Cassatt, Winslow Homer, and James McNeill Whistler; twentieth-century works by Peggy Bacon, George Bellows, Charles Demuth, Marjorie Organ Henri, John Marin, Georgia O'Keeffe, Diego Rivera, and Charles White; and contemporary works by Robert Colescott, Vija Celmins, Roy Lichtenstein, Judy Pfaff, and Kara Walker.

American artist Paul Re invites us to join him on his journey for harmony, wisdom, and inner joy with Art, Peace, and Transcendence. His hybrid hand-digital prints, Reograms, are a unique art form very different from the Rayograms made in the twentieth century by the American Surrealist Man Ray. Re's digital prints are computer manipulations of the drawings, paintings, and sculpture he has created over his forty-year career-the transformations may be mild or dramatic, each manually massaged into a harmonious whole. Commentary by the artist, drawing from his background in physics, philosophy, and the practice of yoga and meditation, accompanies the fifty-eight full-page plates, placing each piece in its historical context. Bridging the lines of art and science, Re takes us on a discovery of our oneness with the whole of the universe and the source from which it emerged.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2005 im Fachbereich Kunst - Grafik, Druck, Note: 1,0, Technische Universitat Berlin, Veranstaltung: Seminar: Formen der Allegorie, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Noch heute, nach annahernd 500 Jahren, gibt es von Durers Kupferstich Melencolia I" keine allgemein anerkannte ikonographische und ikonologische Deutung. Und das trotz unausgesetzter Interpretationsbemuhungen, von den altesten zu Lebzeiten Durers bis hin zu den jungsten der Gegenwart. Haufig entstanden Mangel bei der Analyse dadurch, dass der Stich nach reiner Anschaulichkeit ausgelegt wurde, eine Uberbewertung von Einzelbeobachtungen zu einseitigen Verzerrungen fuhrte und historische Quellen falsch verwertet oder ganzlich unbekannt waren. Im Grossteil der Deutungen ist zu erkennen, dass die Vielschichtigkeit des Stichs nicht durchschaut und dementsprechend nur unzulanglich wiedergegeben werden konnte. Das Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist nicht, diesen Interpretationen im einzelnen nachzugehen. Vielmehr sollen haufig diskutierte Fragenkomplexe und Allegoriefelder angefuhrt werden, um daran die Probleme bei der Deutung von Durers Melencolia I" aufzuzeig
