Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This encyclopedia is a biographical dictionary of some 1,000 women artists of the American West. The product of a twenty-year, coast-to-coast research project by authors Phil Kovinick and Marian Yoshiki-Kovinick, it offers accurate, concise introductions to women painters, graphic artists, and sculptors, all of whom achieved recognition as depictors of Western subjects between the 1840s and 1980. Their styles range from representationalism to early modernism, while their works depict everything from bold landscapes and scenes of intensive action to studies of Native Americans, pioneers, ranchers, farmers, wildlife, and flora. Each entry in the encyclopedia features the salient facts of the artist's life and career, with attention to her work with Western subject matter. Many of the entries also contain a selected list of the artist's exhibitions, current locations of her work in public collections, pertinent references, and a black-and-white example of her work. An overview of the history of women in western art complements the biographical entries.

Download or read book Friendships in Constant Repair written by and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2010 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stephen Oliver was quite simply, one of the most talented composers of his generation. His premature death at 42 took from the musical world a prodigious talent and a generous patron of the arts.This year, 2010, marks what would have been Stephen’s 60th birthday. To commemorate his unique life his sister and brother, Ruth and James Oliver, have compiled this wonderful book which brings together the biography of his childhood and school days, personal memories and photos, Stephen’s own writings and touchingly, memories of Stephen from many luminaries in the musical, theatrical and operatic world (including actor Sir Simon Callow, lyricist Sir Tim Rice and National Theatre artistic director, Sir Nicholas Hytner). Stephen himself will be best remembered as a prolific composer of some fifty operas – from mini-operas to major works for professional opera companies at home and abroad. He wrote substantial incidental music for the Royal Shakespeare Company (including the epic Nicholas Nickleby) and the BBC (including Lord of the Rings), a musical Blondel (with Tim Rice), together with a large portfolio of choral items. His list of works records over four hundred compositions, all created in just forty two years of life, making him one of the most important British composers of the age. Stephen also wrote and presented the BBC2 series Understanding Opera and was a regular contributor on Radio 4’s Stop the Week. His talks and lectures on music and literature were legendary.This important new book offers anyone with an interest in the arts an overview of one of our most talented, and sadly missed composers – as well as rewarding readers with an insight into the British Arts scene from the 1960s to the 1990s.

Download or read book El Mesquite written by Elena Zamora O'Shea and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The open country of Texas between the Nueces River and the Rio Grande was sparsely settled through the nineteenth century, and most of the settlers who did live there had Hispanic names that until recently were rarely admitted into the pages of Texas history. In 1935, however, a descendant of one of the old Spanish land-grant families in the region-a woman, no less-found an ingenious way to publish the history of her region at a time when neither Tejanos nor women had much voice. She told the story from the perspective of an ancient mesquite tree, under whose branches much South Texas history had passed. Her tale became an invaluable source of folk history but has long been out of print. Now, with important new introductions by Leticia M. Garza-Falcón and Andrés Tijerina, the history witnessed by El Mesquite can again inform readers of the way of life that first shaped Texas. Through the voice of the gnarled old tree, Elena Zamora O'Shea tells South Texas political and ethnographic history, filled with details of daily life such as songs, local plants and folk medicines, foods and recipes, peone/patron relations, and the Tejano ranch vocabulary. The work is an important example of the historical-folkloristic literary genre used by Mexican American writers of the period. Using the literary device of the tree's narration, O'Shea raises issues of culture, discrimination, and prejudice she could not have addressed in her own voice in that day and explicitly states the Mexican American ideology of 1930s Texas. The result is a literary and historic work of lasting value, which clearly articulates the Tejano claim to legitimacy in Texas history. ELENA ZAMORA O'SHEA (1880-1951) was born at Rancho La Noria Cardenena near Peñitas, Hidalgo County, Texas. A long-time schoolteacher, whose posts included one on the famous King Ranch, she wrote this book to help Tejano children know and claim their proud heritage.
