Book Synopsis Agnes Martin: Her Life and Art by : Nancy Princenthal
Download or read book Agnes Martin: Her Life and Art written by Nancy Princenthal and published by Thames & Hudson. This book was released on 2015-06-16 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first biography of visionary artist Agnes Martin, one of the most original and influential painters of the postwar period Over the course of a career that spanned fifty years, Agnes Martin’s austere, serene work anticipated and helped to define Minimalism, even as she battled psychological crises and carved out a solitary existence in the American Southwest. Martin identified with the Abstract Expressionists but her commitment to linear geometry caused her to be associated in turn with Minimalist, feminist, and even outsider artists. She moved through some of the liveliest art communities of her time while maintaining a legendary reserve. “I paint with my back to the world,” she says both at the beginning and at the conclusion of a documentary filmed when she was in her late eighties. When she died at ninety-two, in Taos, New Mexico, it is said she had not read a newspaper in half a century. No substantial critical monograph exists on this acclaimed artist—the recipient of two career retrospectives as well as the National Medal of the Arts—who was championed by critics as diverse in their approaches as Lucy Lippard, Lawrence Alloway, and Rosalind Krauss. Furthermore, no attempt has been made to describe her extraordinary life. The whole engrossing story, told here for the first time, Agnes Martin is essential reading for anyone interested in abstract art or the history of women artists in America.

Book Synopsis The Dude and the Zen Master by : Jeff Bridges
Download or read book The Dude and the Zen Master written by Jeff Bridges and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2013-01-08 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The perfect gift for fans of The Big Lebowski, Jeff Bridges's "The Dude", and anyone who could use more Zen in their lives. Zen Master Bernie Glassman compares Jeff Bridges’s iconic role in The Big Lebowski to a Lamed-Vavnik: one of the men in Jewish mysticism who are “simple and unassuming,” and “so good that on account of them God lets the world go on.” Jeff puts it another way. “The wonderful thing about the Dude is that he’d always rather hug it out than slug it out.” For more than a decade, Academy Award-winning actor Jeff Bridges and his Buddhist teacher, renowned Roshi Bernie Glassman, have been close friends. Inspiring and often hilarious, The Dude and the Zen Master captures their freewheeling dialogue and remarkable humanism in a book that reminds us of the importance of doing good in a difficult world.
Download or read book Women 4 Women written by Cristabel Sappho and published by . This book was released on 2014-02-20 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two of Cristabel Sappho's sensual, sensuous and erotic novellas in a single volume 'Georgia & Veronica' captures the start of a wonderful and most unexpected affair. Veronica is a late-thirties woman with a boring husband, boring job and a feeling that her best - for which read, most sensual - days are behind her. All that really gives her joy are the many and various lesbian fantasies she has lately discovered lurking in a forgotten back room of her mind. One of those fantasies - increasingly, the most arousing - focuses on the beautiful owner of an up-market shoe shop. Georgia is indeed beautiful and, in most things, confident. Love, however, has never been one of those things. So, despite all the attention her looks and charm have attracted over the years, at twenty-five she is still untouched by any but her own fingers. So why Veronica? For all that the woman herself worries about the question, and for all that Georgia doesn't really know the answer, on first meeting they just click. Meaning they then find themselves thinking more and more about each other. Meaning that on a second chance meeting they are as tongue-tied as love-struck teenagers. Then courage takes a hold. They arrange a drink in a local wine bar. And there, in a quiet corner with a bottle of good wine, they talk and laugh and tease and laugh some more until the presence of love is undeniable. An unexpected but most definitely a desired and welcome love. A love they will now treasure and nurture like the precious gift it is.'In The Garden Of Lesbian Delight' is the story of five wonderfully uninhibited women enjoying an afternoon of unparralled sexual bliss in a sun-kissed glade by a deep blue lake. It begins with a chance meeting - in the early hours at an out-of-the-way service station - of Gill and Erinna. They are both curious and adventurous women: the one married but bored with it, the other single and unashamedly generous with it. For a while they tease and tempt each other just for the sake of it; then desire takes over. Having enjoyed a moment of casual and uninhibited love, they recognise a stronger attraction. Two days later they meet again and, with three friends, skip happily into a secret, sun kissed and fragrant garden where time stands still and love reigns. This novella is an unapologetic celebration of the pure lust and delight of lesbian love. By turns sensuous and arousing, seductive and abandoned, the mosaic of caresses and pleasures the women weave is deliciously uplifting.Also by Cristabel Sappho: Sapphic Liaisons; Suburban Women; and The Art To Zen Of Lesbian Love.

Download or read book Only Say the Word written by Alan McManus and published by John Hunt Publishing. This book was released on 2012-11-30 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many good people, in good faith, while sympathising with the ethical and ecclesiastical situation of lesbian and gay Christians, still regard homosexuality as unnatural. Other good people, in just as good faith, defend homosexuality on grounds of personal plight and involuntary sexual orientation – with private misgivings that this defence may also be applied to paedophilia. This little book provides not only a useful argument for a more merciful reading of Scripture than that usually employed to condemn same-sex relationships, but also a philosophical analysis of the nature of ‘nature’. Finding that all, and only, those relationships which are harmonious can be considered natural, the author invites us to only say the Word, that we may all be healed. A former Franciscan friar, Dr Alan McManus wrote his doctoral thesis, Alchemy at the Chalkface: Pirsig, Pedagogy and the Metaphysics of Quality, at the University of Glasgow. Holding degrees in Church History/ Practical Theology and Religious Studies, he has taught EFL at home and abroad, Spanish & Italian to adults and Religious, Moral & Philosophical Studies in comprehensive schools in Scotland. He has published articles on political philosophy and WW1 remembrance in the online journal Citizenship, Social and Economics Education. He is a member of Affirmation Scotland.
Book Synopsis Religion and American Cultures [4 volumes] by : Gary Laderman
Download or read book Religion and American Cultures [4 volumes] written by Gary Laderman and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2014-12-17 with total page 1712 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This four-volume work provides a detailed, multicultural survey of established as well as "new" American religions and investigates the fascinating interactions between religion and ethnicity, gender, politics, regionalism, ethics, and popular culture. This revised and expanded edition of Religion and American Cultures: Tradition, Diversity, and Popular Expression presents more than 140 essays that address contemporary spiritual practice and culture with a historical perspective. The entries cover virtually every religion in modern-day America as well as the role of religion in various aspects of U.S. culture. Readers will discover that Americans aren't largely Protestant, Catholic, or Jewish anymore, and that the number of popular religious identities is far greater than many would imagine. And although most Americans believe in a higher power, the fastest growing identity in the United States is the "nones"—those Americans who elect "none" when asked about their religious identity—thereby demonstrating how many individuals see their spirituality as something not easily defined or categorized. The first volume explores America's multicultural communities and their religious practices, covering the range of different religions among Anglo-Americans and Euro-Americans as well as spirituality among Latino, African American, Native American, and Asian American communities. The second volume focuses on cultural aspects of religions, addressing topics such as film, Generation X, public sacred spaces, sexuality, and new religious expressions. The new third volume expands the range of topics covered with in-depth essays on additional topics such as interfaith families, religion in prisons, belief in the paranormal, and religion after September 11, 2001. The fourth volume is devoted to complementary primary source documents.

Book Synopsis A Summer of Fever and Freedom by : Chelsey Engel
Download or read book A Summer of Fever and Freedom written by Chelsey Engel and published by Chelsey Engel. This book was released on 2019-08-06 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At eighteen years old, Jane is teetering on the cusp of womanhood, a rite of passage complicated and painful for even the most stable of hearts. For Jane, who is anxiously awaiting her brother's return from the war in Vietnam, the heavy journey is cracking her already fragile foundation. When she attends a party in Greenwich Village and meets twenty-three-year-old gay rights and anti-war activist Maria, the ground threatens to crumble completely under the weight of unexpected infatuation and desire. Maria has been on her own for years since her mother kicked her out in high school. The activist and writer has had to erect a fierce shield around her heart in order to navigate a world actively fighting against her humanity, and she certainly doesn't expect the quiet, bookish Jane to tug at those defenses. Maria is sent for a rare tailspin when the walls break just as she prepares for a major life transition that leaves her and Jane at a vulnerable crossroads. From Beatnik cafes and student protests to the Stonewall riots and Woodstock, Jane and Maria explore the bustle and beauty of New York in the summer of 1969 while exploring their friendship, as well as their own hearts. As the heated season nears its end, the young women are forced to make monumental decisions and come to terms with realities neither of them wishes to face, ones that will shape them for the rest of their lives. Set during one of America's most tumultuous periods, A Summer of Fever and Freedom is a historical fiction novel about coming out, coming of age, and coming together, and an ode to the revolutions we all experience.
Book Synopsis Women Making History by : Julia M. Allen
Download or read book Women Making History written by Julia M. Allen and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2023-10-16 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1973, Jocelyn Cohen and Nancy Poore established Helaine Victoria Press to publish women's history postcards. Spurred by the energy of the second wave feminist movement, they learned how to research histories buried in old books and archives and how to print on a vintage letterpress. The press attracted more participants, closing only in 1991 in response to changing communication technologies. Drawing on feminist and material rhetorics, the authors of Women Making History demonstrate that, by creating postcards, Helaine Victoria Press aimed to do more than provide a convenient writing surface or even affect collective memory; instead, they argue, the press generated feminist memory. The cards, each with the picture of a woman or group of women from history, were multimodal. Pictures were framed in colors and borders appropriate to the era and subject. Lengthy captions offered details about the lives of the women pictured. Unlike other memorials, the cards were mobile; they traveled through the postal system, viewed along the way by the purchasers, mail sorters, mail carriers, and recipients. Upon arriving at their destinations, cards were often posted on office bulletin boards or refrigerators at home, where surroundings shaped their meanings. Women Making History shows that Helaine Victoria Press's cards, like the movement from which they emanated, were dynamic and participatory. They were, in short, a multidirectional, open ended, rhetorically evolving process of transforming feminist consciousness. The print edition includes many images from the press's records, and the digital edition offers additional images plus audio and video clips from press participants. This is the first book to demonstrate the relationships between the feminist art movement, the women in print movement, and the scholars studying women's history. Readers will be drawn to both the large quantity of illustrative materials and the theoretical framework of the book, as it provides an expanded understanding of rhetorical multimodality. Scholars of gender and women's studies, art history, media studies, and the history of rhetoric, as well as members of the public with interests in feminism, Lesbian feminist culture, postcards, fine letterpress printing, and papermaking will be inspired by this richly produced history.
Book Synopsis The Way of Tenderness by : Zenju Earthlyn Manuel
Download or read book The Way of Tenderness written by Zenju Earthlyn Manuel and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2015-02-17 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “What does liberation mean when I have incarnated in a particular body, with a particular shape, color, and sex?” In The Way of Tenderness, Zen priest Zenju Earthlyn Manuel brings Buddhist philosophies of emptiness and appearance to bear on race, sexuality, and gender, using wisdom forged through personal experience and practice to rethink problems of identity and privilege. Manuel brings her own experiences as a bisexual black woman into conversation with Buddhism to square our ultimately empty nature with superficial perspectives of everyday life. Her hard-won insights reveal that dry wisdom alone is not sufficient to heal the wounds of the marginalized; an effective practice must embrace the tenderness found where conventional reality and emptiness intersect. Only warmth and compassion can cure hatred and heal the damage it wreaks within us. This is a book that will teach us all.
