Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Piltdown Picasso is a fast-moving, well-plotted thriller, peopled by compelling characters shot through with a strong thread of humour. Matthew (Fax) Fairfax, a man with a past, arrives back in London after spending some years travelling and is quickly drawn into the capital’s fine art community. After helping a friend out with a favour he finds himself framed as the prime suspect when celebrity Mika Slade, who has recently purchased a dubious Picasso, is gunned down. Fairfax is released from police custody due to lack of evidence and joins forces with Gabi, Slade’s zany PA, in an attempt to identify the murderer. They discover that beneath the gloss and polish of London’s art world lurks a sleazy underbelly of drugs, insurance scams and art fraud. An industry where crooked dealers threaten, maim, kidnap and murder to ensure their lucrative trade continues in a rigged marketplace where no work of art is quite what it seems. When Gabi is taken hostage, and possibly poisoned by the fumes from the art forger’s lethal liquid Bakelite, Fairfax confronts the scam’s mastermind in a dramatic and fatal climax high above the Turbine Hall of Tate Modern. A rip roaring tale of art and crime, this is the perfect book for all crime fiction fans.

Book excerpt: This is a book of awareness and love. The correspondence between two girlhood friends from Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan launched the “anniecat chronicles” project. With thoughts and events to share, they embraced email and bridged the miles and the years between Michigan and South Carolina. A wealth of remembrances, including Campfire Girls, failed romances, class reunions and their 80th birthdays, are recorded with splendid humor and devotion to narrative. Interwoven in the chronicles are the author’s short stories and poetry, her tribute to the beauty of life in the northwoods and to the joy of family.

Book excerpt: You will be creating for the rest of your life. You might as well do it on purpose. Everyone was an artist, once. But somewhere between kindergarten and now, we lost the confidence to create. We’ve crumbled under the pressure to find our place in the “real, grown-up” world and now see the art room as a happy memory with no real value. Instead of approaching the world with childhood freedom and peace, we fear unmet ambitions. We fear that our lives have little meaning, purpose, or value. We fear that God has a plan for us, but we’re missing it. Yet if we travel back to our seats in the art room, art teacher Matt Appling reminds us of lessons we’ve forgotten, the joy of creating, and the freedom we had to succeed or fail. We can relearn these lessons and practice them to lead the contented, joy-filled, and productive lives that God created us to live.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enjoy these SAMPLE pages from Life after Art: For most adults, the art room is a memory from long-lost childhood school days. Art class probably did not mean much more than smearing crayons and paint onto construction paper-with no real value to an adult who is dealing with the pressures of relationships, careers, finances, and raising a family. Even with these external pressures, the biggest concern adults often face is the spiritual crisis of self-value. We fear unmet ambitions. We fear that our lives have little meaning, purpose, or value. We fear that God has a plan for us, but we're missing it. These fears prevent us from leading the productive, contented, joy-filled lives that God created us to live. And so, the long-forgotten art room actually holds three God-given keys, available to every adult, for living the life we were meant to live. When we entered the art room for the first time as kindergartners, we all instinctively knew some things that we would progressively forget over time and now it's time to learn them all over again.

Download or read book Worldly Acts and Sentient Things written by Robert A. Chodat and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-07-05 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ants, ghosts, cultures, thunderstorms, stock markets, robots, computers: this is just a partial list of the sentient things that have filled American literature over the last century. From modernism forward, writers have given life and voice to both the human and the nonhuman, and in the process addressed the motives, behaviors, and historical pressures that define lives—or things—both everyday and extraordinary. In Worldly Acts and Sentient Things Robert Chodat exposes a major shortcoming in recent accounts of twentieth-century discourse. What is often seen as the "death" of agency is better described as the displacement of agency onto new and varied entities. Writers as diverse as Gertrude Stein, Saul Bellow, Ralph Ellison, and Don DeLillo are preoccupied with a cluster of related questions. Which entities are capable of believing something, saying something, desiring, hoping, hating, or doing? Which things, in turn, do we treat as worthy of our care, respect, and worship? Drawing on a philosophical tradition exemplified by Ludwig Wittgenstein and Wilfrid Sellars, Chodat shows that the death of the Cartesian ego need not entail the elimination of purposeful action altogether. Agents do not dissolve or die away in modern thought and literature; they proliferate—some in human forms, some not. Chodat distinguishes two ideas of agency in particular. One locates purposes in embodied beings, "persons," the other in disembodied entities, "presences." Worldly Acts and Sentient Things is a an engaging blend of philosophy and literary theory for anyone interested in modern and contemporary literature, narrative studies, psychology, ethics, and cognitive science.

Download or read book How Love Found Picasso written by Joseph Roberts and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-11-19 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Picasso is a starving artist from Italy whose name, along with not being the actual Picasso limits his success to the point of feeling defeated. He is truly talented though. What compounds feeling defeated is that Picasso also starves for love just as much as success. Friends of Picasso believe in his talent though, surprising him on his birthday with plane tickets and entry fee to the "New Artist Expo" in Chicago. While in Chicago, Picasso finds an abysmal string of bad luck by doing awful at the New Artist Expo, along with losing his passport and airline tickets back home, but most importantly missing several opportunities to meet the most beautiful woman he has ever laid eyes on. With a small beam of redemption, Picasso's friends find him a way back home to Italy by way of a cargo ship leaving from New York in just a few days. Using his art and the sorrow of a missed opportunity to find love as a catalyst, Picasso bows out of Chicago on an adventure to New York just in time to catch the cargo ship back home. Little does he know that Love is on the way to find Him! Love is a recovered hippy with beauty and kindness bursting from the seams. She is also a high-level executive who has traded the hope of finding true love for her career in Chicago. With the prompting of her friends, she decides to go back to her roots. For only one day she decides to wear a beautiful flower dress that deep down inside her heart hopes to draw the attention of a man and fall truly in love. Unknowingly she is spotted by Picasso on several occasions over the course of the day, but sadly they never officially meet due to tragic yet hilarious circumstances. Love gives up on love once again. Until the very next day when she is walking home from church and spots a painting leaning up against a flower stand with her in it wearing the very same dress she was wearing just the day before! Instantly, Love believes that love lies behind the artist of the painting! Details on the whereabouts of the artist are given to Love from the florist who "bought the painting from some poor sap trying to get to New York who hopped a bus to Sandusky, Ohio earlier today." Thus begins the adventure of "How Love Found Picasso!"
