Download or read book Portrait of Passion written by Lynne Barron and published by . This book was released on 2016-05-12 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What's a gentleman to do when a mysterious lady with a secret past and a reputation frayed around the edges suddenly appears in London in pursuit of his naive young cousin, setting the gossips' tongues wagging, stirring his family into pandemonium, and driving him mad with her irreverent ways? If the gentleman in question is Simon Carlisle, Viscount Easton, the answer is quite simple. Seduce the beguiling lady. But Miss Beatrice Morgan isn't your average tarnished lady. She's lived a slapdash life wandering the globe like a gypsy, painting fantastical portraits of duchesses and landscapes featuring a crumbling old fountain, all the while harboring a secret desire to return to the only home she's ever known. Will Beatrice sacrifice her honor, her virtue, her very heart to reclaim Idyllwild?This book was previously published by the same title. While I have made minor revisions and given it a beautiful new cover and fresh edits, the story remains a spicy, sensual tale filled with all sorts of dallying, frolicking and even a hint of debauchery. And very little of the fun takes place behind closed doors.

Book excerpt: A Passion for Performance: Sarah Siddons and Her Portraitists brings together three engaging essays – by Robyn Asleson, Shelley Bennett and Mark Leonard, and Shearer West – that recreate the eventful life, both on and off the stage, of the great eighteenth-century actress Sarah Siddons. Siddons was renowned for her bravura performances in tragic roles, and her fame was enhanced by the many portraits of her painted by the leading artists of the day. The greatest of these was Sir Joshua Reynolds’s Sarah Siddons as the Tragic Muse, a painting now in the Huntington Art Collections and recently studied at the Getty Center. A Passion for Performance places this magnificent portrait within the context of Siddons’s career as an actress and cultural icon. Includes a chronology of Siddons’s life by volume editor Robyn Asleson.

Book Synopsis Life, Paint and Passion by : Michele Cassou
Download or read book Life, Paint and Passion written by Michele Cassou and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1996-01-03 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life, Paint And Passion is a deeply involving approach to using the creative process as a tool for self-discovery. With vibrant and contagious enthusiasm, the authors liberate the reader's urge to create freely and spontaneously, as a painter or an artist in another medium, purely for the process of exploration, not for result. With eloquence and simplicity, the authors encourage the reader to journey inward toward his or her authentic self and discover the unique intuition awaiting there. It is this intuition that provides all the tools the reader needs to crumble the barrier between the innermost self and its uncensored manifestation. Through lively interviews with students, the authors explore painting as a practice that facilitates the ecstasy of unfettered expression. With simple brushes, a few dishes of paint, and this book, the reader will be able to coax the hidden self out of the heart and onto a paper. Life, Paint And Passion is the result of nearly thirty years of intensive work with the painting process. It provides powerful insights into the act of creation, a solid base for facing and transcending creative blocks, and brings fresh perceptions and healing to life.
Book Synopsis Portraits of Passion by : Praveen Kumar
Download or read book Portraits of Passion written by Praveen Kumar and published by AUTHOR. This book was released on 2017-01-28 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What the poet sings here is true of his life. He is open for the temptations of both the passion and the reason. When they act together, we find the person at his best in life with the strengths of purpose and will; we find the poet at his best in poetry with sweet ironies, spliced with the power of language when, " The wind of passion and the barriers of reason, pull apart from sides,". Thus, the author gained from both his strength and weakness. Poetry to this poet is an integrated expression of personality. His conception of poetry is beautifully expressed in the following stanza in the poem "Poetry ".You, the gentle queen on inspiration's throne In splendours of words, rhythms, colours, Musics and passions in unending layers; Come, sit on heart, build bridges to the mind, Bring light to the eyes to choose a carriageTo carry your muse to gentle souls.It is significant of this poet that the utility of poetry for him lies in carrying her 'muse to gentle souls'. He is deeply subjective and inward-looking in nature. This subjective and inward-looking tendency makes him a proud and self-assured individual. Read following lines in the poem,'The Path of Life '.Whatever may come, whatever may go, Whatever on the path is in store as fate, I must walk as always I am;Proud of self and diligent of walk,I tread the path that comes in front; Whatever at back, bears my print,Whatever in front, conforms to inner strength.The poet has tried to portray the widening gulf betwixt rich and poor in the poem,' Humanity ' wherein an image of poverty is laid in following lines:A hapless motherOffers her to greedTo save her child from the hunger's death ; No roof to hide, no cloth to cover,No fire in heart to save honour ; Dirt and filth, sickness everywhere, Dirt and filth, sickness everywhere,The sufferings of the people touch the poet while writing about Bangladesh cyclone in the poem,' Bangladesh Cyclone; he describes how a famished man appears after the devastation.God-forsaken man sits in the middleAnd knows not whether he is dead or alive.'Portraits of Passion' is primarily a portrait of passion- passion in its varied and verdant forms and hues; passion for life, passion of love and passion to know the world around. The collection has a few love portraits in both meeting and parting frames of mind. Read following lines of the poem,' That Day':She held the portrait close to her heart And drank his form to the brim of eyes; What a gentle shine, what contentment, Her eyes spread in expression of her heart! What depth it had, what immortal warmth That he felt at loss to pierce far enow; Parting is the more intense form of love.The foretaste of the impending separation how withers souls and brings them closer in the milieu of climacteric gloom and silence is portrayed in the poem,' Gulf of Life and Death':Face to face, they sat in silence,No word to speak, no shine in eyes, Both blankly stared beyond each other; No world to smile, no light or sunshine,They sought each other for hope and comfortIn the eye of high tide of the time's drift.There are a few poems on the nature in this fascicle. Following three lines describe the full-moon in motion in her full glory through the demi-jour of the heaven in a mise en scene:The golden queen in the stride of royal graceAscended heaven with gold dusts splayedOn the fading silk-carpet of the thin sunshine ;The aureate beauty of the fullmoon day is painted in following lines : The night is full with beauty's sweet contrastsOf peace and passions, stillness and motionWith shades and twiligfits of sensuous quietude!A conflict of life and death and desperate waiting for something eerie and lovefull are lurking in many of the poet's writings and give his poems an arcane touch.

Download or read book Frida & Diego written by Frida Kahlo and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A visual feast of Kahlo and Rivera's finest works that will leave readers intellectually challenged and emotionally awakened. He painted for the people. She painted to survive. Frida Kahlo (1907-1954) and Diego Rivera's (1886-1957) legendary passion for each other and for Mexico's revolutionary culture during the 1920s and 1930s made them two of the twentieth century's most famous artists. During their life together as a married couple, Rivera achieved prominence as a muralist, while Kahlo's intimate paintings were embraced by the Surrealist movement and the Mexican art world. After their deaths in the 1950s, retrospectives of Kahlo's work enshrined her as one of the most significant women artists of the twentieth century, partially eclipsing Rivera's international fame as Mexico's greatest muralist painter. Frida & Diego: Passion, Politics and Painting offers a new perspective on their artistic significance for the twenty-first century, one that shows how their paintings reflect both the dramatic story of their lives together and their artistic commitment to the transformative political and cultural values of post-revolutionary Mexico. Frida & Diego features colour reproductions of 75 paintings and works on paper by both Kahlo and Rivera, rarely reproduced archival photographs, and new biographical information on the couple assembled by scholar Dot Tuer.
Download or read book Radicals written by David Horowitz and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-09-24 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Radical liberals want to make America a better place, but their utopian social engineering leads, ironically, to greater human suffering. So argues David Horowitz, bestselling author in his newest book Radicals: Portraits of a Destructive Passion. From Karl Marx to Barack Obama, Horowitz shows how the idealistic impulse to make the world “a better place” gives birth to the twin cultural pathologies of cynicism and nihilism, and is the chief source of human suffering. A former liberal himself, Horowitz recounts his own brushes with radicalism and offers unparalleled insight into the disjointed ideology of liberal elites through case studies of well-known radial leftists, including Christopher Hitchens, feminist Bettina Aptheker , leftist academic Cornel West, and more. Exploring the origin and evolution of radical liberals and their progressive ideology, Radicals illustrates how liberalism is not only intellectually crippling for its adherents, but devastating to society.
Book Synopsis Trials of Passion by : Lisa Appignanesi
Download or read book Trials of Passion written by Lisa Appignanesi and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2015-07-15 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A journey into the heart of dark passions and the crimes they impel. When passion is in the picture, what is criminal, what is sane, what is mad or simply bad? Through court and asylum records, letters and newspaper accounts, this book brings to life some sensational trials between 1870 and 1914, a period when the psychiatric professions were consolidating their hold on our understanding of what is human. Outside fiction, individual emotions and the inner life had rarely been publicly discussed: now, in an increasingly popular press and its courtroom reports, people avidly consumed accounts of transgressive sexuality, savage jealousy and forbidden desires. These stood revealed as aspects not only of those labelled mad, but potentially, of everyone. With great story-telling flair and a wealth of historical detail, Lisa Appignanesi teases out the vagaries of passion and the clashes between the law and the clinic as they stumble towards a (sometimes reviled) collaboration. Sexual etiquette and class roles, attitudes to love, madness and gender, notions of respectability and honor, insanity and lunacy, all are at play in that vital forum in which public opinion is shaped—the theater of the courtroom.

Book Synopsis The Private Passion of Jackie Kennedy Onassis by : Vicky Moon
Download or read book The Private Passion of Jackie Kennedy Onassis written by Vicky Moon and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2005-04-12 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Private Passion of Jackie Kennedy Onassis, Vicky Moon illuminates just how vital a role horses played throughout Jackie's often tumultuous life. Jackie's mother propped her up on a horse when she was just a year old, and throughout her childhood Jackie turned to her pony Buddy to distract her from the stress of her parents' precarious marriage. As a woman struggling under the intense pressures of her role as First Lady, riding a horse through the countryside was a much-needed tonic. And later in her life, as a mourning widow and then a reluctant celebrity, riding offered Jackie peace and privacy. Whether cantering up and down the emerald hills of Ireland, galloping through the woods in New Jersey, racing cross-country, or taking long, quiet rides with her children down the dirt trails of Virginia's hunt country, Jackie's lifelong passion for horses was a mainstay during difficult years, a refuge from a life in the limelight, and a constant source of joy. Now, in addition to the elegant, stunning images from every stage of her life -- photographs taken while out riding to the hounds, at the steeplechase with Jack, with Caroline on her pony -- Jackie's story unfolds through Moon's fresh and engaging narrative, sprinkled with anecdotes and memories from those who knew Jackie not only as one of the most admired women in the world, but simply as a graceful and talented horsewoman.
