Making Copies in European Art 1400-1600 comprises sixteen essays
that explore the form and function, manner and meaning of copies
after Renaissance works of art. The authors construe copying as a
method of exchange based in the theory and practice of imitation,
and they investigate the artistic techniques that enabled and
facilitated the production of copies. They also ask what patrons
and collectors wanted from a copy, which characteristics of an
artwork were considered copyable, and where and how copies were
stored, studied, displayed, and circulated. Making Copies in
European Art, in addition to studying many unfamiliar pictures,
incorporates previously unpublished documentary materials.
I have been keeping a series of sketchbook/journals for over 30
years now. These are kept on those thick black hardbound
sketchbooks that you see in art supply stores. The kind that have
acid free archival paper that is supposed to last for years and
years.... I went through the collected books and scanned and
cleaned up the drawings. Some pages were a little smudged from
years of friends thumbing through them. I'm glad that I took the
time, since even on archival paper these drawings might eventually
be lost to time.... I hope that you will enjoy this uncensored
collection of drawings and that you will enjoy this chance to
explore a little bit of my imagination... over 200 pages of pencil
and pen and ink drawings--Fairies, goblins, fantasy characters.
Some of the work is explicit, so keep on the top shelf.
Destination for artists and convalescents, playground of the rich,
site of foreign allure, the French Riviera has long attracted
visitors to its shores. Ranging through the late nineteenth
century, the Belle Epoque, the 'roaring twenties', and the
emancipatory post-war years, Rosemary Lancaster highlights the
contributions of nine remarkable women to the cultural identity of
the Riviera in its seminal rise to fame. Embracing an array of
genres, she gives new focus to feminine writings never previously
brought together, nor as richly critically explored. Fiction,
memoir, diary, letters, even cookbooks and choreographies provide
compelling evidence of the innovativeness of women who seized the
challenges and opportunities of their travels in a century of
radical social and artistic change.
They were named the "throwaways." Children with learning
differences engaged in artmaking as sensemaking to promote issues
of social justice in K-12 schools. For the first time, children
with learning differences, teachers, staff, and school leaders come
together and share how they understand the role artmaking as
sensemaking plays in empowering disenfranchised populations.
