Book excerpt: Originally published in 1979 in hardcover, and now available in paperback, Krieghoff is the definitive study of the life and work of this important Canadian painter. Cornelius Krieghoff (1815-1872) is one of the most popular and well-known of Canada`s early painters: his work was greatly appreciated in his lifetime and continues to captivate new audiences today. Krieghoff`s subject matter was uniquely Canadian - French Canadian habitants, Native peoples, landscapes, people at work and play in the outdoors - but his vivid style won him supporters in the art community worldwide. The eminent art historian J. Russell Harper spent five years researching this book on two continents, trying to piece together the life story of his subject from sources that were often confusing and contradictory. Harper used the details of Krieghoff`s formative years, his time in Montreal, his move to Quebec City, and his final years to illuminate the impact on his art, and vice versa. A chapter has been included on the many Krieghoff forgeries that have plagued art historians over the years, and the insightful text is accompanied by 50 colour plates and over 100 black and white illustrations. Long out of print, this stunning book is available again for art lovers.

Download or read book Kubrick's Hope written by Julian Rice and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2008-09-29 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There have been two common assumptions about Stanley Kubrick: that his films portray human beings who are driven exclusively by aggression and greed, and that he pessimistically rejected meaning in a contingent, postmodern world. However, as Kubrick himself remarked, 'A work of art should be always exhilarating and never depressing, whatever its subject matter may be.' In this new interpretation of Kubrick's films, Julian Rice suggests that the director's work had a more positive outlook than most people credit him. And while other studies have recounted Kubrick's life and production histories, few have offered lucid explanations of specific sources and their influence on his films. In Kubrick's Hope, Rice explains how the theories of Freud and Jung took cinematic form, and also considers the significant impression left on the director's last six films by Robert Ardrey, Bruno Bettelheim, and Joseph Campbell. In addition to providing useful contexts, Rice offers close readings of the films, inviting readers to note details they may have missed and to interpret them in their own way. By refreshing their experience of the films and discarding postmodern clichZs, viewers may discover more optimistic themes in the director's works. Beginning with 2001: A Space Odyssey and continuing through A Clockwork Orange, Barry Lyndon, The Shining, Full Metal Jacket, and Eyes Wide Shut, Rice illuminates Kubrick's thinking at the time he made each film. Throughout, Rice examines the compelling political, psychological, and spiritual issues the director raises. As this book contends, if these works are considered together and repeatedly re-viewed, Kubrick's films may help viewers to personally grow and collectively endure.
Book Synopsis Kubrick, New and Expanded Edition by : Thomas Allen Nelson
Download or read book Kubrick, New and Expanded Edition written by Thomas Allen Nelson and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stanley Kubrick ranks among the most important American film makers of his generation, but his work is often misunderstood because it is widely diverse in subject matter and seems to lack thematic and tonal consistency. Thomas Nelson's perceptive and comprehensive study of Kubrick rescues him from the hostility of auteurist critics and discovers the roots of a Kubrickian aesthetic, which Nelson defines as the "aesthetics of contingency." After analyzing how this aesthetic develops and manifests itself in the early works, Nelson devotes individual chapters to Lolita, Dr. Stangelove, 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, Barry Lyndon, and The Shining. For this expanded edition, Nelson has added chapters on Full Metal Jacket and Eyes Wide Shut, and, in the wake of the director's death, reconsidered his body of work as a whole. By placing Kubrick in a historical and theoretical context, this study is a reliable guide into—and out of—Stanley Kubrick's cinematic maze.

Book excerpt: The country needs a strong king in this thrilling historical adventure of The Crusader Knights As Richard Coeur de Lion’s empire crumbles and castle after castle falls to the French, there is one man who can save England – but King John will not send for him. England is in disarray: William Marshal, the King’s battle-scarred champion is left to dally at home with his new wife. King John himself is newly wed to Isabell of Angoulême, who will vie to outdo her husband with cruelty and spite. Called Lackland by some, as a measure of his wealth, Soft-sword by others, as the measure of his military prowess, King John is reckoned a poor choice to succeed his heroic brother, Richard the Lionhearted. But his terrible cunning can strike fear into the heart of the most courageous of men... The fifth fascinating instalment of The Crusader Knights Cycle is perfect for fans of David Gilman and Bernard Cornwell. ‘Vivid visual moments and all the technology of medieval warfare’ Observer
Book Synopsis Stanley Kubrick and the Art of Adaptation by : Greg Jenkins
Download or read book Stanley Kubrick and the Art of Adaptation written by Greg Jenkins and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-08-13 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paring a novel into a two-hour film is an arduous task for even the best screenwriters and directors. Often the resulting movies are far removed from the novel, sometimes to the point of being unrecognizable. Stanley Kubrick's adaptations have consistently been among the best Hollywood has to offer. Kubrick's film adaptations of three novels--Lolita, The Shining and Full Metal Jacket--are analyzed in this work. The primary focus is on the alterations in the characters and narrative structure, with additional attention to style, scope, pace, mood and meaning. Kubrick's adaptations simplify, impose a new visuality, reduce violence, and render the moral slant more conventional. Instructors considering this book for use in a course may request an examination copy here.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A master draughtsman, artist Evan Macdonald had extraordinary facility as a painter - in oil, acrylic, tempera, and watercolour - as well as a printmaker (particularly in drypoint and mezzotint) and a book illustrator. This beautifully illustrated book chronicles Macdonald's life and work from the perspective of the artist's daughter, Flora Macdonald Spencer, whose insightful essay creates a lasting image of a great Canadian artist." "Literally hundreds of his streetscapes, landscapes, portraits, and drawings survive today in private collections across Canada. At the end of his life, Macdonald was bestowed an Honorary Doctor of Laws degree by the University of Guelph, an acknowledgement of his artistic legacy. The painter's life is richly documented by Flora Macdonald Spencer in her poignant telling of his journey."--BOOK JACKET.
