Book Synopsis New Hampshire's Cornish Colony by : Fern K. Meyers
Download or read book New Hampshire's Cornish Colony written by Fern K. Meyers and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2005-04-27 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Hampshire’s Cornish Colony illustrates this distinguished American art colony. First settled in 1885 by colleagues of America’s Michelangelo, Augustus Saint-Gaudens, the Cornish Colony was a retreat for sculptors, painters, writers, and musicians. They were attracted to this peaceful valley nestled in the New Hampshire hills in the shadow of Vermont’s Mount Ascutney. Known as “the Athens of America,” the Cornish Colony was a lively, glamorous society during its heyday from 1885 to 1925. One outstanding member, the famous artist Maxfield Parrish, was called a “chickadee” because he spent the entire year in Cornish, not merely the summer. In New Hampshire’s Cornish Colony, discover a portrait of the colonists’ society and the fascinating people who contributed to America’s cultural legacy.

Book Synopsis The Cornish Colony Book of Days by : Alma M. Gilbert
Download or read book The Cornish Colony Book of Days written by Alma M. Gilbert and published by Tide-Mark Press. This book was released on 2002-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the end of the 19th century, a group of successful artists and professionals built or purchased houses in the small neighbouring towns of Plainfield and Cornish, New Hampshire. New York lawyer Charles Beaman arrived first and eventually persuaded a number of friends to join him. Sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens arrived in 1885 followed by a group of artists and writers that included Thomas Dewing, Henry Walker, Charles Platt, Stephen Parrish, his son Maxfield, and others. The social epicentre of the Colony became 'Mastlands', house of the Dr Arthur Nichols family. Prominent visitors from around the world toured the Nichols' gardens and danced in the ballroom at Mastlands. The Cornish Colony thrived into the 1960s, when two dramatic changes occurred: Mastlands was closed in 1963 and Maxfield Parrish died in 1966. The spirit of the Cornish Colony was sorely tried. Eventually, however, Mastlands reopened and was refurbished. In 1998, the house was purchased for use as The Cornish Colony Gallery and Museum by Alma Gilbert, recognised as one of the world's foremost experts in the work and life of Maxfield Parrish. Today the Museum celebrates the history and creativity of members of the Colony. The Cornish Colony Book of Days shares in the renewal of that spirit. Filled with images of works by Colonists Augustus Saint-Gaudens, the Parrishes and their friends, the book also combines classic as well as contemporary photographs of Mastlands and its gardens. Together these images evoke an era of idealism, artistic innovation and optimism that inspire our admiration today.

Download or read book The Book of Eating written by Adam Platt and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2019-11-12 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A wildly hilarious and irreverent memoir of a globe-trotting life lived meal-to-meal by one of our most influential and respected food critics As the son of a diplomat growing up in places like Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Japan, Adam Platt didn’t have the chance to become a picky eater. Living, traveling, and eating in some of the most far-flung locations around the world, he developed an eclectic palate and a nuanced understanding of cultures and cuisines that led to some revelations which would prove important in his future career as a food critic. In Tokyo, for instance—“a kind of paradise for nose-to-tail cooking”—he learned that “if you’re interested in telling a story, a hair-raisingly bad meal is much better than a good one." From dim sum in Hong Kong to giant platters of Peking duck in Beijing, fresh-baked croissants in Paris and pierogi on the snowy streets of Moscow, Platt takes us around the world, re-tracing the steps of a unique, and lifelong, culinary education. Providing a glimpse into a life that has intertwined food and travel in exciting and unexpected ways, The Book of Eating is a delightful and sumptuous trip that is also the culinary coming-of-age of a voracious eater and his eventual ascension to become, as he puts it, “a professional glutton.”
