Book Synopsis Paul Kane's Great Nor-West by : Diane F. Eaton
Download or read book Paul Kane's Great Nor-West written by Diane F. Eaton and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 1997-03 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This beautifully designed and richly illustrated book recreates Paul Kane's heroic 1845 -- 48 journey from the Great Lakes to the Pacific coast, and brings to life the people, places, and events he encountered. He returned to Toronto with some 500 field sketches which he used as the basis for oil pointings depicting scenes of Indian life. Illustrated with a wide selection of the field sketches as well as his oil paintings, this book reintroduces a remarkable artist to a modern audience. This fascinating text helps us to understand a world now lost to us. It helps to preserve cultures and peoples swallowed up in the western migrations in both the United States and Canada. It takes us into the soul of its subject. -- Salem Statesman Journal
Book Synopsis Paul Kane's Great Nor-West by : Diane F. Eaton
Download or read book Paul Kane's Great Nor-West written by Diane F. Eaton and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Determined to document the lives and customs of the Native people of the Northwest before contact with white settlers changed them forever, the Canadian artists Paul Kane set out in 1845 to cross the continent 'with no companions but my portfolio and a box of paints, my gun and a stock of ammunition.' Travelling by canoe and snowshoe, on foot and on horseback via the Hudson's Bay Company fur brigade routes, he made his way from the Great Lakes to the Pacific coast and back again. When he returned to Toronto in the fall of 1848, he brought back some five hundred field sketches and a remarkable collection of artifacts, which he used as raw material for one hundred oil paintings depicting scenes of Native life. While the carefully executed oil paintings are deliberately romaticized images of the West that conform to nineteenth-century standards of taste, the original field sketches, which are not widely known, are fresher, more objective and authentic, more direct and undeliberated. A fascinating complement to the sketches is a small diary that Kane kept while on his journey. Brief and plainspoken, its entries were jotted down with idiosyncratic spelling and punctuation. In 1859, Kane published a journal based on these notes, which became a bestseller in Europe and North America. In Paul Kane's Great Nor-West, Diana Eaton and Sheila Urbanek recreate Kane's heroic journey and bring to life the people and places he encountered. Their narrative supplies the historical context to illuminate his travels, while frequently drawing on Kane's own words from his diary and published journal. The voice of the artist himself is heard in descriptions of one of the last great buffalo hunts, of a desperate winter crossing over the Rockies, of the impassioned 'crying of war' of a Cree chief, and of many other unique experiences. Illustrated with a wide selection of the field sketches as well as his better known oil paintings, Paul Kane's Great Nor-West reintroduces this remarkable artist to a modern audience. It not only celebrates his extraordinary journey but also creates a unique and immensely varied panorama of the nineteenth century 'Great Nor-West.'

Book Synopsis Shaping Seattle Architecture by : Jeffrey Karl Ochsner
Download or read book Shaping Seattle Architecture written by Jeffrey Karl Ochsner and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2017-05-01 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first edition of Shaping Seattle Architecture, published in 1994, introduced readers to Seattle’s architects by showcasing the work of those who were instrumental in creating the region’s built environment. Twenty years later, the second edition updates and expands the original with new information and illustrations that provide an even richer exploration of Seattle architecture. The book begins with a revised introduction that brings the story of Seattle architecture into the twenty-first century and situates developments in Seattle building design within local and global contexts. The book’s fifty-four essays present richly illustrated profiles that describe the architects' careers, provide an overview of their major works, and explore their significance. Shaping Seattle Architecture celebrates a wide range of people who helped form the region's built environment. It provides updated information about many of the architects and firms profiled in the first edition. Four individuals newly included in this second edition are Edwin J. Ivey, a leading residential designer; Fred Bassetti, an important contributor to Northwest regional modernism; L. Jane Hastings, one of the region’s foremost women in architecture; and Richard Haag, founder of the landscape architecture program at the University of Washington and designer of Gas Works Park and the Bloedel Reserve. The book also includes essays on the buildings of the Coast Salish people, who inhabited Puget Sound prior to Euro-American settlement; the role that architects played in speculative housing developments before and after World War II; and the vernacular architecture built by nonprofessionals that makes up a portion of the fabric of the city. Shaping Seattle Architecture concludes with a substantial reference section, updated to reflect the last twenty years of research and publications. A locations appendix offers a geographic guide to surviving works. The research section directs interested readers to further resources, and the appendix “Additional Significant Seattle Architects” provides thumbnail sketches of nearly 250 important figures not included in the main text.
