Book Description

In this book are the essential beliefs and theories of a great teacher and American artist, Robert Henri. While it embodies the entire system of his teaching, with much technical advice and critical comment for the student, it also contains inspiration for those to whom the happiness to be found through all the arts is important.

Every painter should own this book........2007-03-10

George Bellows, Edward Hopper, Patrick Henry Bruce, Stuart Davis, Rockwell Kent, Guy DuBois, Alfred Maurer, Carl Sprinchorn and countless others studied with Henri and went on to do great work. There are too many for this to be simply coincidence. The "Art Spirit" is the closest thing we can get to the Kool-Aid that flowed in Henri's classroom. One can glean quite a bit from the pages of this book. It is both practical and inspirational. I have to say that it can be a bit frustrating not being able to see anything or ask a question, but its much better than nothing (thank you Ms. Ryerson!). Buy a copy and read it.

An Art Spirit for Everyone.......2007-01-08

The Art Spirit. Now there's a bold title. The implication is not only that there is such a specifically identifiable thing as an "art spirit", but also that the author, painter, and teacher, Robert Henri knows these specifics; a bold implication indeed. The difficulty (wherein lies the boldness) whenever one attaches the word spirit -or spiritual- to anything, there are, of course, as many understandings or perceptions of that word as there are hearers and readers of that word. This may exist to no greater degree and appear no more obvious than in the world of visual arts. Henri himself acknowledges this, writing in the forward, "...the opinions are presented more as paintings are hung on a wall, to be looked at at will and to be taken for what they are worth. If they have a suggestive value and stimulate to independent thought, they will attain the object of their presentation..." And later, "There is no idea that anyone should agree with any of the comments or that anyone should follow the advice given. If they irritate to activity in quite a different direction, it will be just as well." Although he embraces this free thinking, to-each-his-own, take what you will from it approach, it is merely one of the specific personality characteristics evidenced in the Art Spirit. Henri intends to show there is an "art spirit", and it is the province of every human being.
This is the crux of the issue for Henri, his point of departure from other artist/writers, and the chief value of this book: The Art Spirit is attainable by anyone, can be exhibited by everyone.
Other works on the subject tend to be either the less specific, more nebulous notions where we are expected to buy the fancy explanations and just accept that there is something spiritual, or of the spirit, going on here, or the very specific, artist-only oriented varieties. For example, consider Mandarin's grid "composition" series and his writing about them. While his theosophically induced explanations may help some to a degree of understanding, we are essentially left to take his word for what we are supposed to be seeing in the canvas. In his "Concerning the Spiritual in Art", although Kandinsky presages Henri -discussing psycho-emotional, expressive, and contemplative states of artists out in the real world and before the canvas- he ultimately leaves it with the artist, not really taking it out of the studio and into the factory, construction site, or office cubicle as Henri does. Whereas Kandinsky seems to digress at times into a sort of "how -to" instruction guide for defining and placing spiritual elements into a picture, Henri takes it further, defining his Art Spirit, then setting about showing us how to tell when it's present. This every-man definition is offered at the very beginning of his book:
"Art when really understood is the province of every human being.
It is simply a question of doing things, anything, well. It is not an outside, extra thing.
When the artist is alive in any person, whatever his kind of work may be, he becomes an inventive, searching, daring, self-expressing creature. He becomes interesting to other people. He disturbs, upsets, enlightens, and he opens ways for a better understanding. Where those who are not artists are trying to close the book, he opens it, shows there are still more pages possible.
The world would stagnate without him, and the world would be beautiful with him; for he is interesting to himself and he is interesting to others. He does not have to be a painter or sculptor to be an artist. He can work in any medium. He simply has to find the gain in the work itself, not outside it."
Henri then spends two hundred and forty five more pages illuminating and reiterating how one is -or can be- an inventive, searching, daring, self-expressing creature; how to live life to the fullest. The Art Spirit manifests itself in the appreciation of the non-material things in life; in the "true student" who self-educates and explores feelings, meanings, who contemplates, who really sees, who learns to express "who is you"; in what comes from the external world and inside you; in the full enjoyment in the living of life; in doing a thing well ... anything.
Henri accomplishes a difficult task here; a book with specific and important information for the artist, yet within that structure filled with insight and compelling ideas for the non-artist. One is urged to make a full reading, since quite often both are mingled in the same sentence or statement. For example, a non-painter might be tempted to skip the ten-page section on brush strokes (pg. 62-72), seeing no need for it. The unfortunate reader would then miss out on many little gems of insight and information. What is a brushstroke but a purposeful committed action by an artist? So then, consider the message in these statements when you substitute the word "stroke" with "action" or even "attitude" (parenthetical insertions are mine ):
"Strokes carry a message whether you will it or not. The stroke is just like the artist (person) at the time he makes it. All the certainties, all the uncertainties, all the bigness of his spirit and all the littleness are in it."

"There are more strokes which laugh, and there are more strokes which bind laughter, which freeze the face into a set immoveable grimace."

"(There are) bad strokes which are bad because a brush (a method) or a condition of paint (situation) were chosen which could not render them."

While Henri plays to both artist and non-artist audiences, it is at these times when he addresses the artist more directly he more closely aligns himself with Kandinsky. Both men bring their great passion for the subject into their text in their strong, clear, and pleasing voice. Kandinsky, sounding alternately-yet only slightly more- poetic here, technical there; Henri with a bit more enthusiasm. They share the same territory on many issues, such as the shape, direction, and function of line, intention of every stroke, careful planning followed by exuberant expression and more. Yet, while they may travel the same road, they do not share the same vehicle. There is an important distinction in each man's approach to spirituality, or the art spirit. For Kandinsky, there is a spirit world out there, and a spiritually inspired painter can -and should- find ways to represent both that indwelling spirit and that exterior spirit world to which we are all connected. Henri says (when) we search the external world with appreciation and wonder, and we search within ourselves, and when we become more self-expressing creatures, we have the art spirit...we are the art spirit. Kandinsky believes only non-objective images can reveal the spiritual, Henri says it matters not what you paint but how you paint it-compelled by the spirit. So while Kandinsky can use the "psychic effect" (pg. 24) of color to manipulate the viewer's emotional state toward a comprehension of the spiritual, Henri says the artist's mark itself can manifest the Art Spirit. While, in both cases it takes a more or less purposeful opening up to the notion of the spirit, for Henri it is not trying to grasp the spirit and record it, it is about internalizing and building the spirit inside ourselves, and our resulting expressions will, by definition, represent the Spirit. And it is possible for all of us.
The long quote above (from pg. 5) is written exactly as printed in the fifth edition printing not only as expository text, but as a means of illustrating Henri's bright, clear and energetic voice that runs throughout this book. The subtitle for The Art Spirit reads, "notes, articles, fragments of letters and talks to students, bearing on the concept and technique of picture making, the study of art in general, and on appreciation," and that is exactly how it reads. Much of this is due to Henri's considerable gift of communication, and the balance is credited to the physical layout of the book. There are no chapters, even very few headings to sections, lending itself very well to opening to any page and beginning to read. At times, a lecture, or perhaps advice to a single student goes on for five, six, seven pages. Other times, pages are divided into two or three sections, or set up in individual sentences which concern the same subject, yet stand on their own. The resulting effect is the feeling of being in the very classroom of Professor Henri. There are also considerable instances of repetition here, albeit in subtle variations. The index, however, is usefully repetitious as well, helping to differentiate between those subtleties when one may be in need of a specific quote or reference.
The last thirty pages are exact notes taken by Margery Ryerson, a Henri student who eventually compiled the notes, fragments, etc.(in the revised edition, she is credited as Editor). This is an excellent addition to the book. Reading Henri's comments and insights in her necessarily abbreviated, note-taking style provides fresh psychological weight to the reality of Henri's classroom.
One area of disappointment concerns the photograph illustrations of Henri and his work. In the fifth edition, the plates are in black and white. Although understandable at the time of inclusion (1930), they do not allow for close comparison with Henri's ideas and techniques about painting elaborated in the text. The real disappointment is to find that the current edition available from booksellers has not updated to colorplates, but jettisoned the pictures entirely, save for the full color cover.
I recommend The Art Spirit to anyone involved in the creative process. It is a must have, particularly for those times when one may be experiencing a creative burnout, or to shake off the cobwebs. I am recommending The Art Spirit to non-artists as well -anyone who is looking for a little spark, a little positive push toward self-actualization.
For the artist, I am not recommending The Art Spirit over the Kandinsky classic; I see Henri's work as more of a continuation, or a rounding out of what Kandinsky started years before. Artists and aspiring art appreciators must read both if there is to be any hope of understanding

Excellent.......2006-10-20

If you are an artist, have an interest in art or even just like to read thought provoking quotes then you could do a lot worse than have this on your shelf. The book is collection of conversations, thoughts, writings. There isn't much of a structure to it - more a random collection although the index helps somewhat. It lends itself to just opening the book at a random page and reading whats there. It contains one salient point after the other on the how's, whys and wherefores of painting, drawing and sculpture. This book should be on every artists shelf.

"Art," before commercialism took over........2006-09-13

Finally a review of art, for the sake of art, without becoming cluttered by commercial concerns. Paint color, composition, line...The book is written as a painting with no particular beginning, middle, or end. It needs to be absorbed as a whole to fully appreciate its contents. The pedantic English can tire but it does not subtract from the freshness of the message and the pleasure it provides to every student of art.

"There are moments in our lives, there are moments in a day, when we seem to see beyond the usual. Such are the moments of our greatest happiness. Such are the moments of our greatest wisdom. If one could but recall his vision by some sort of sign. It was in this hope that the arts were invented. Sign-posts on the way to what may be. Sign-posts toward greater knowledge." Robert Henri

Twenty two years ago when I discovered this book I could not have imagined the impact it would continue to have on my life. Robert Henri speaks of both the technical side of art and the art experience. I have re-read this book, a little bit at a time, many times over the years and have found something new to appreciate each time.

While I find less and less time in my life for my artwork, I am able to enjoy beauty and clarity in all of it's everyday forms. The trick is to remember to capture it in your mind. When I feel I have lost the ability to appreciate everyday beauty, I pick up this book. It never fails to rejuvinate my mind and inspire me.

The strength of Final Cut Pro, Apple's topnotch digital-video editing application, lies in its ease of use. It makes sense, then, that one of the best books on Final Cut is also one of the easiest to read and use. Over 600 pages of step-by-step instruction, the Final Cut Pro 2 for Macintosh: Visual QuickPro Guide can build the skill set of almost any user looking to edit with Final Cut Pro.

No CD-ROM with accompanying materials is included. Instead, the materials that come with Final Cut are used to strengthen and enhance the lessons and concepts in Apple's own manuals. Beginning with an overview of system requirements and configurations, Brenneis plunges into the Final Cut interface and the first steps in setting up and using the application.

The chapters are structured as if a real project were in production: importing video, preparing the clips, editing, adding transitions, and rendering for final output. Tips and tricks are sprinkled like gold nuggets throughout the book, offering insight on how an experienced professional might take advantage of a particular feature.

Lisa Brenneis is no stranger to editing or writing--her first book on Final Cut Pro was a huge success and became a yardstick against which others were judged. With the release of Final Cut Pro 2, she has updated and enhanced her book to cover the new features. Look for her newest title, on the third revision of FCP, soon: Final Cut Pro 3 for Macintosh: Visual QuickPro Guide.

Like all books in the series, Final Cut Pro 2 for Macintosh: Visual QuickPro Guide is concise, complete, and easy on the eyes: it's laid out in a clear two-column format with countless screen shots. Books in this series are designed to get the professional user up and running fast, and this installment reaches that goal. For anyone teaching or learning Final Cut Pro, this is an invaluable book. --Mike Caputo

Confused? Then, this books for you!.......2003-08-08

Final Cut Pro is a serious program for serious editors. So is the User's Manual. If you're as easily confused and intimidated as I am, this books for you! Brenneis does a great job explaining some of the stuff you're going to use the most without bogging you down in all the details of the User's Manual. You'll be happy you bought this!

Look like a pro FAST!.......2002-02-27

After cutting on film for many years I took the leap to digital editing with Final Cut Pro. I was lost until a friend showed me this book. This is not like other computer manuals written by antisocial engineers, it is easy to read, clear and concise. Even though it is a technical subject it never got too geeky for me.

I'll be sure to get the version 3 book as soon as it comes out.

Final Cut Pro 2 for Macintosh.......2002-02-13

Final Cut to is a easy to use and powerful video editting program. This book is not as extensive as the program's manual but it also isn't an overwhelming encyclopedia. Easy read and very useful!

Use the manual!.......2002-01-30

So tell me why I want this over the manual? The manual is EXACTLY the same style but more complete. All I can see is a book that I paid money for when I have a manual that gives me exactly what I want.

I got FCP2 as a present being I'd always talk about editing my DV footage so thought I'll get round to using it by buying a book, thinking it'd be better than the manual. The manual is great and easy to read. This book is just easy to read! It's like a selection of pages from the manual. If you want a summary of the manual buy this book. I've returned it.

Great value for the money.......2001-11-24

First off, it's good to point out that the title includes the words 'QuickPro', not 'Quickstart', What this means is, unlike other quickstart books, the book doesn't assume you're a dummy. It instead assumes you have some non-linear editing experience. It's intended at getting an experienced editor up to speed with Final Cut Pro. Coming from AVID and Premiere, this book was great for me. Having said that, it could be possible for a beginner to learn Final Cut Pro using this book, possible, but not the book's intention.

The book doesn't have tutorials, but you can still follow along on your computer, or, because they're lots of screen captures you can read it away from the computer and simply imagine you're at the computer. The writing is clear and concise, and the topics are organized well. And the book is cheap!! Recommended.

Book Description

P The Great Depression of the 1930s with its dramatic unemployment rates was one of the most striking economic events of the past century. It shook economists' beliefs in the existence of self-adjusting forces and prompted Keynes to write his masterwork, The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money. /P P Involuntary unemployment was the central concept of Keynes' book. However, after having been considered the sine qua non of economics for decades, it has gradually disappeared from textbooks and research. This book recounts and ponders this demise, asking whether the abandonment of the concept of involuntary unemployment is the manifestation of some inner defect of recent economic theory or is rather due to some intrinsic weakness of the concept itself, which makes it of little use when it comes to economic theorising. /P P In order to disentangle these issues, the author critically reviews the different explanations of involuntary unemployment that have been offered from Keynes up to the end of the 1980s. After consideringThe General Theory, the author studies the works of pioneering macroeconomists such as Hicks, Modigliani, Lange, Leontief, Tobin, Klein and Hansen. An examination of the 're-appraisal of Keynes' and of the so-called disequilibrium school is followed by a discussion of Friedman's and Lucas' anti-Keynesian attack. The final part of the book investigates a series of models purporting to revive the Keynesian project, namely implicit contract, efficiency wages, insider-outsider, coordination failures, and imperfect competition. /P

De Vroey skips the mathematical modeling in chs.10,20,and21.......2005-03-07

Michel De Vroey(V)arrives at the following conclusion in his book on Keynes's theory of effective demand and involuntary unemployment:"...Two main lines of argumentation are developed by Keynes.The first concerns the working of the labour market.Keynes claims...that wage-earners are unable to fix the market-clearing real wage in spite of their ability to fix the nominal wage...Keynes's second line of argumentation consists of claiming that involuntary unemployment is caused by a deficiency in effective demand.After an in-depth examination of these two claims,I come to the conclusion that neither of them stands up....In sum,no valid explanation of involuntary unemployment remains after Keynes'reasoning errors have been straightened out".(De Vroey,2004,p.5).Further sections of the book examine how the involuntary unemployment concept was used,first, in combination with IS-LM models by Keynesian economists(Hicks,Hansen,Tobin ,Klein,and Modigliani),second,by the original disequilibrium Keynesians(Patinkin,Clower,and Leijonhufvud)and their successors(Barro,Grossman,Dreze,Benassy,and Malinvaud),third,the Friedman-Lucas(F-L) critique of the concept of involuntary unemployment,fourth,New Keynesian counter arguments to F-L based on implicit contracts theory,menu cost models ,efficiency wage models,insider-outsider theory ,coordination failures and imperfect competition.V essentially ignores the nonsymmetric,incomplete,and imperfect information approach of Stiglitz which,while inferior to Keynes's own c coefficient model in chapter 26 of the A Treatise on Probability(1921) that Keynes used informally on pp.239-241 of The General Theory(1936),comes closest to Keynes's approach.V summarizes in his last chapter by essentially repeating the conclusion quoted above from his introductory chapter. V spends all of the second part of his book supposedly analyzing Keynes's analysis of his concept of involuntary unemployment as it was developed within the framework of his theory of effective demand.Unfortunately,V completely fails to consider the mathematical models presented by Keynes in chapter 10(the Y-multiplier model of actual aggregate demand where Y=C+I),chapters 20 and 21(the D-Z model consisting of a)D=f(N)=pO,the expected aggregate demand function,where p is an expected price and O=F(N)is an aggregate production function, defined as such on p.283 of the GT,(b)Z=g(N)=P +wN,the expected aggregate supply function,where P is future,expected profit,w is the money wage,either fixed or variable, and N is the aggregate amount of employment,(c)the aggregate supply curve, D=Z,which is a locus of the set of all possible expected price-profit combinations,a different possible employment level corresponding to each member of the set.The aggregate supply curve,D=Z, automatically specifies a set of stable multiple equilibria,all of which satisfy the necessary first order and sufficient second order conditions for a profit maximum derived from an optimization problem.Only one of the elements of this set will represent a full employment equilibrium.All of the other feasible points represent unemployment equilibriums,which Keynes designated as representing involuntary unemployment.In 1940,Keynes expanded his model' s range of application informally so as to incorporate points of overemployment in his How to Pay for the War.)and the appendix to chapter 19,where Keynes compared his model,theory,and results to the model,theory,and results derived by A C Pigou in Part II,chapters 8-10,pp.86-102,of The Theory of Unemployment(1933).Instead,V studies chapters 2,3,and 19 of the GT while ignoring chapters 10,20,21,and the appendix to chapter 19 of the same book.V's approach to "reading" the GT is based on five canards passed down to historians of economic thought and academic specialists in economic thought.The first canard is the claim made by Richard Kahn to Robert Skidelsky,who accepted it at face value,that Keynes was a poor mathematician by 1927.The second canard is the claim made by Joan Robinson that Gerald Shove told her that Keynes had never taken the twenty minutes necessary to master the theory of value.Naturally, Kahn(along with A.Robinson) claimed that Shove told him the same thing.The third canard was Dennis Robertson's claim,made in a 1955 article(with an error filled appendix by Harry Johnson) in the Economic Journal that was part of an error filled exchange over the meaning of Keynes's aggregate supply function between Robertson, De Jong and Ralph Hawtrey ,that pages 24-30 of the GT(chapter 3) contains the important theoretical core that is central to an understanding of Keynes's theory of effective demand,despite Keynes's own assessment that chapter 3 was merely an introductory guide or outline of his theory that might be unintelligible until later chapters filled in all the missing analysis.The fourth canard was Johnson's claim that Z=pO(instead of the correct D=pO).The fifth canard was that,according to Robertson,D=C+I(instead of the correct Y=C+I).A mathematically literate reader of this review,who can differentiate and integrate, can easily duplicate any and all of the mathematical results obtained by Keynes in chapters 20 and 21.The major result is that the optimality condition for the labor market,making the standard assumption of decreasing returns to labor in the short run ,is determined in the commodity(output)market by the condition that w/p=mpl/(mpc+mpi),as opposed to the classical and neoclassical result that equilibrium in the labor market is determined independently of the commodity market by the condition w/p=mpl,where mpl is the marginal product of labor,mpc is the marginal propensity to spend on consumption goods andmpi the marginal propensity to spend on investmant goods.Only in the special case where mpc+mpi =1 will the neoclassical result(no involuntary unemployment)hold.I am now able to show why Keynes's two lines of argumentation are correct and why De Vroey and a host of other economists,who have accepted one or more of the five canards listed above,are incorrect in their reasoning.First,it is impossible for labor,in the aggregate ,to lower their money wage,w,as long as mpc+mpi <1.Second,there is a deficiency of aggregate demand by definition as long as mpc+mpi <1.There is nothing wrong with Keynes's reasoning,which follows strictly from a mathematical analysis of an aggregated economy operating under conditions of pure competition(KEYNES,1936)or free competition(PIGOU,1933).As pointed out by Keynes in the appendix to chapter 19 of the GT,the neoclassical analysis is missing an equation.That missing equation is the Y-multiplier model of chapter 10 of the GT.Of course,one can simply assume that mpc+mpi =1,just as the economist,who was taking a cruise with a physicist and a chemist and ends up on a deserted island after their ship sinks, assumes a can opener.

Book Description

This book contains the proceedings of the First International Conference on Health Hazards and Challenges in the New Working Life, held January 11-13, 1999, in Stockholm, Sweden.
The globalisation of the economies has enormous implications for work and labour market structures. Demands for rapid adjustment and flexibility can be perceived as threatening to the employees' need for security and can cause ill health, but it is also important to try to foresee the possible benefits that could result and the constructive adaptations that individuals make. These changing conditions raise new issues and research questions concerning health consequences and people's actions and constructive adaptation. The interdisciplinary research conference in Stockholm on Health Hazards and Challenges in the New Working Life covered areas such as health and social consequences of unemployment, job insecurity, labour market constraints, flexibility in working conditions, and new forms of employment relations and contracts. The proceedings give an overview of the latest research results on these issues, which will be of the utmost importance to working life in the next millennium. The book presents a selection of contributions from highly qualified researchers in psychology, occupational health and sociology and covers three main sections: unemployment and downsizing, flexibilization and stress, and opportunities and constraints in the labour market. It provides an excellent summary and overview of earlier research, together with new findings about adaptation and actions among the unemployed, the effects of new and changing employment contracts upon health, and the polarization of the labour market and its exclusion of vulnerable groups.
