George Inness: Writings and Reflections on Art and Philosophy

Book Description

George Inness's key statements on ideas central to American social and cultural thought.

The writings of nineteenth-century American artists, such as Washington Allston, Asher B. Durand, and Thomas Cole, have long been considered essential expressions of the American creative perspective. Now, for the first time, the ideas of George Inness (1825-1894), one of America's greatest landscape painters, are assembled in one volume. George Inness: Writings and Reflections on Art and Philosophy reveals Inness to have been one of the most intelligent and knowledgeable public figures of his generation, an artist-philosopher not only deeply engaged with the history of art but also with ideas that resided at the center of American social and intellectual history.

In search of knowledge, Inness wrote and discoursed on evolutionary biology, science, mathematics, numerology, psychology, philosophy, and especially theology. This volume assembles the key sources, many hitherto unpublished, on Inness's ideas: his essays, poems, and letters; interviews and public debates with leading critics; comments in biographical profiles; and key passages from his biography, Life, Art, and Letters of George Inness. Together, these texts reveal Inness's discontent with the gradually diminishing authority of the divine from the story of human creation, a conflict at the center of nineteenth-century American religious and social thought and one that inspired Inness's own magnificent contributions to America's cultural heritage. 40 color and 14 black and white illustrations.

Book Description

The nude self-portrait is perhaps the most intimate form of photography. It delves deep into taboo territory and strips away the traditional barriers between artist and viewer. Witnessing such a private act, we may feel the queasy embarrassment of a voyeur, but we are always compelled to look further. The images cut to the core of issues of identity, sexuality, and ego–
and as they reveal an essential truth about their creators they also tell us something about ourselves.

Self-Exposure features more than 100 works from both established masters and up-and-coming photographers–many never before published. This groundbreaking collection traces the development of the male self-portrait from its earliest beginnings with such greats as Hippolyte Bayard, Herbert Tobias, and André Kertész, to the contemporary efforts of such artists as John Dugdale, Anthony Goicolea, and Yasumasa Morimura. Each artist takes a uniquely individual approach ranging from the shockingly perverse and aggressively erotic to the elusively self-conscious and sublimely beautiful. Complete with brief biographies of each artist, Self-Exposure is a powerful survey of this most seductive subject.

At least ninety artists work is shown in a beautifully printed and well presented book. Everything is done well, the forward and introduction, the references to artists web presence, the variety of the selections; personal, obscure, in-your-face, from subtle to campy obvious, many different personalities take the art of the nude in photography another step forward.

Massengill Pulls a Very Naked Rabbitt out of the Hat.......2007-01-04

There are many many "art" books depicting the male nude. VERY FEW of them have any art. Most of them are glamour shots of young buff men posed on a couch or by a pool or on the beach or wherever and the main thing you can say for them is that they are in focus. This book is about serious photographic artists turning their cameras on themselves and going for ART - not just pretty. There's plenty of pretty, but that's not the point, the point is that you can have pretty and art at the same time - and sometimes you have art and not pretty - and art is more important. If you'd like an art book of naked men to add to your pretty books of naked men, get this book. You will not regret it.

A Very Mixed Bag.......2006-04-01

The title says it all. Reed Massengill has put together a collection of male photographers doing nude-- for the most part-- self-portraits, a very creative idea for a book. In his "Introduction" to this volume he says: "The common thread that binds together these images is not simply that they are self-portraits by men; each of these artists shows us what is beautiful and different about their work and about themselves through these images." Certainly each photograph here is different; unfortunately, they are by no means all beautiful, although many of them are. In alphabetical order-- the way the photographers are presented-- Plate 4, John Arsenault; Plate 16, Armando Branco; all the pictures by John Dugdale; the two photographs by Mark Jenkins (beautifully lit and printed); Plate 91, Douglas Prince; and the two photographs by Brian To would meet the severest critic's requirements for beautiful. Then there are the erotic, the pornographic (by Jesse Helms' standards), the very creative, the cutesy, the dull and the just plain ugly. An inordinate number of photographers chose to present themselves as just body parts, reinforcing the cliche that if you have it, flaunt it. Several of the artists are into crossdressing and fetishes. And David Hockney forgot to remove his clothes.

The Pierre et Gilles and Jan Saudek self-portraits are as creative as we expect from these fine artists. A very young Robert Mapplethorpe, believe it or not, radiates innocence. Tom Bianchi's portraits are exactly what we would expect from him. There is obviously not a shy bone in his body. Both Arthur Tress and Duane Michals are to be commended for removing their clothes although they do not have beautiful bodies. There is an honesty and vulnerability in the Tress self-portrait that is very moving. Finally, Andy Warhol proves that anyone can take a bad photograph of himself.

Mr. Massengill also says in his introduction that he had to exclude a lot of "beautiful" work. Perhaps he will publish SELF-EXPOSURE TWO in the not too distant future.

More than just the usual.......2006-03-15

This book delivers. Any individual interested in the above average, will find in this book a treasure of photos. The pictures are in most cases, experimenting with the self. In this book it is easy to share emotions with the photographers- as most of us have been there. Some pictures are raw, others subtle, but the quality never sucks! This is a book that you would like to share and most people just won't let it go!

This is a very erratic book. A few GREAT images. Many not........2006-02-24

This book is extremely erratic in quality. It has some images that are truly fine art. But, buyer beware! Read that title and be warned that it IS "SELF-EXPOSURE". It has about five images that are truly artistic and fantastic photos, but the range goes downhill from there to include anything and everything an exhibitionist might want to show you and much more that you might involuntarily say: "Oh, YUCK!" at. Maybe it is just my taste but why would anyone want to view self-exposed pics of a saggy, older, overweight person sitting in a chair with his legs open? (and, this is a saggy older person speaking) Then, there is the couple with man holding gun in woman's mouth.
I had high hopes for this book and was greatly let down. I'm an artist who has always loved to draw and sculpt the human form (I hate painting clothing on it as the skin is so beautiful). It is just that this book has so few images that have any redeeming qualities that might inspire, satisfy, glorify the human body, or to educate someone. There are quite a few pictures that I would not want found in my home however and I found quite objectionable.
And, since bad publicity is good sales also, I have probably just sold a few more books for the author. More power to him. But, I do think you should be aware before you buy.

All Hail Utena!!.......2003-01-26

Great plot, beautiful artwork, a fun romantic/action/comedy shoujo series end of story. Most people ignore reading Utena because of the rumors about all the characters being ghey but if you're homophobic you'll still love this manga most likely the same

Plot twists, and cinnamon kisses.......2002-12-30

We join Ohtori academy at the cliffhanger of the ball. IS UTENA GOING TO DIE AT THE HANDS OF SAIONJI? Well, like all main characters she is saved (what kind of show would that be if she died?). In the book we get a more in-depth analysis of Student council tresurer Juri Arisugawa and student council secratary Miki Karou. We see love triangles, big brother complexes, and hint of Anthy Himemiya's private life. But don't forget the duels and a hint of comic relief in To Curry Favor (CHU CHU!) The artwork in here is beautiful and the plot twist compliments the dramatic artwork. If any manga is worth buying it's this one Revolutionary Girl Utena( by Chiho Saito).

If only I wasn't addicted to Utena I coulda saved some $$$.......2002-10-03

I was less impressed with this second Graphic novel than I was with the first one. The changes in the character relationships were too large for me to swallow - in the anime things were completely different and while it's nice to change it and spice it up with variety and make it different from the anime... the shifts in personality of the characters made this second graphic novel make them feel like different people to me and made me like them less... in particular what they did with Juri and Miki. I LOVED the first Graphic novel and eagerly anticipated this one but found it lacking in the beauty and Utena-ness of the first one. There is a cute story about Chuchu in it though and that is worth it. Since the first novel was so good, you should purchase this second one just so you'll know what is going on when you buy the third one which I am hoping will be better. :-)

Chiho Saitou is a genius..........2002-08-21

...the continuation of the storyline since To Till (along with the added bonus of the curry story) all make this a wonderful book to add to any manga lover's collection. It definately shows a side of Touga and Juri that most people most likely didn't expect to see but which I find definately adds flavor to the story. From the artwork to the careful detailing of the story, Chiho Saitou does an excellent job of getting readers (even those who have already seen/read what happens) hooked and dying for To Sprout to be released. Excellent, excellent book...I'd recommend it as a must-have.

Grammy® Award Nominee and Audie Award Finalist The best bits from his sold-out solo performances at Yale Repertory Theatre—readings, comedy, stories, musings, and more. On three consecutive Monday evenings in April 2002, humorist Garrison Keillor appeared on stage at Yale Repertory Theatre in New Haven, Connecticut. Performing before sold-out crowds, he read personally chosen favorite selections from his many works, both publsihed and unpublished: stories from The New Yorker, chapters from his bestselling novels, news from Lake Wobegon, essays from Time magazine, letters, and even a few pretty good poems. There were no Tom Keith sound effects, no Guy's All-Star Shoe Band, no guest stars—just Garrison, a mike, and a rapt audience. Each evening was an intimate, unforgettable, one-of-a kind experience, full of homespun wit and whimsy. Selected from the Yale shows, A Life in Comedy is a rare close-up look at the Grammy® Award-winning radio personality, A Prairie Home Companion® host, bestselling author, and man behind the Lake Wobegon phenomenon-a true artist of the spoken and written word.

Book Description

"An image is powerful not necessarily because of anything specific it offers the viewer, but because of everything it apparently also takes away from the viewer."
--Trinh T. Minh-ha

Vietnamese filmmaker and feminist thinker Trinh T. Minh-ha is one of the most powerful and articulate voices in independent filmmaking. In her writings and interviews, as well as in her filmscripts, Trinh explores what she describes as the "infinite relation" of word to image. Cinema-Interval brings together her recent conversations on film and art, life and theory, with Homi Bhabha, Deb Verhoeven, Annamaria Morelli and other critics. Together these interviews offer the richest presentation of this extraordinary artist's ideas.
Extensively illustrated in color and black and white, Cinema-Interval covers a wide range of issues, many of them concerning "the space between"--between viewer and film, image and text, interviewer and interviewee, lover and beloved. As an added bonus, the complete scripts of Trinh's films Surname Viet Given Name Nam and A Tale of Love are also included in the volume.
Cinema-Interval will be an essential work for readers interested in contemporary film art, feminist thought, and postcolonial studies.

Mind Blowing ! ! !.......1999-12-09

I got this book about a month ago, and its become an obsession. Literally I cant put it down. It is mind blowing to say the least. - - Schillinger presents an entire new way of looking at music. It is very relevent for the modern Jazz improviser (Personally, I play Jazz organ and have a penchant for Hard Bop and Soul Jazz.) The jargon does get a bit intimidating at times, but once you sit down with your instrument and fiddle around, whole new worlds open up even if you dont understand it fully. You begin to see the beauty and logic behind some of your favorite compositions. - - I had a ball the first night I read it experimenting with different melodies by doing permutations... Its even helped me figure out all that wierd lingo in the Yusef Lateef book on Scales and Patterns. - - The one thing Ill say though... this book aint for dabblers. You gotta have a lot of time and motivation on your hands. I spend about 12 hours a day at my instrument... and even that aint enough, so for me, the book is great. But if youre not lucky or disciplined enough to have this kind of time however, still are curious about more mathematical ways of envisioning creative Jazz lines, I suggest JIMMY AMADIEs book JAZZ IMPROV: HOW TO PLAY IT; HOW TO TEACH IT.

a must for every serious contemporary composer and/or improv.......1998-05-13

although terminology might be a little out-dated(both mathematicaly and musicaly),the book contains an overwhelming number of ideas and aprroaches toowards melody,scales,harmony etc. Some of these ideas have been exploited PARTIALLY {for instance:Coltrane's symetric scales on Giant Steps) in modern music,but there's plenty left for any style of music.As an avid student of modern jazz and fusion improvisation I havn't been able to come across a larger body of knowledge even amongst such Berkley "legends" as goodrick,bergonzi etc.

A 30 year lasting impression.......1998-02-28

I read the first volume of Schillingers work in about 1960 and it has remained in my mind since then. It is a mathematical template that can be overlayed to any music form. It doesn't replace the creative process, but gives one a way to develop his germinal ideas into a full musical form. I think this will be especially true if these ideas are applied using the computer technology now available

Product Description

History: Fiction or Science? is the most explosive tractate on history ever written - however, every theory it contains, no matter how unorthodox, is backed by solid scientific data. The book is well-illustrated, contains over 446 graphs and illustrations, copies of ancient manuscripts, and countless facts attesting to the falsity of the chronology used nowadays, which never cease to amaze the reader. Eminent mathematician proves that: Jesus Christ was born in 1153 and crucified in 1186 The Old Testament refers to mediaeval events. Apocalypse was written after 1486. Does this sound uncanny? This version of events is substantiated by hard facts and logic - validated by new astronomical research and statistical analysis of ancient sources - to a greater extent than everything you may have read and heard about history before. The dominating historical discourse in its current state was essentially crafted in the XVI century from a rather contradictory jumble of sources such as innumerable copies of ancient Latin and Greek manuscripts whose originals had vanished in the Dark Ages and the allegedly irrefutable proof offered by late mediaeval astronomers, resting upon the power of ecclesial authorities. Nearly all of its components are blatantly untrue! For some of us, it shall possibly be quite disturbing to see the magnificent edifice of classical history to turn into an ominous simulacrum brooding over the snake pit of mediaeval politics. Twice so, in fact: the first seeing the legendary millenarian dust on the ancient marble turn into a mere layer of dirt - one that meticulous unprejudiced research can eventually remove. The second, and greater, attack of unease comes with the awareness of just how many areas of human knowledge still trust the three elephants of the consensual chronology to support them. Nothing can remedy that except for an individual chronological revolution happening in the minds of a large enough number of people.

Calculations are only as good as your numbers.......2007-08-03

Yes, we can all agree that mainstream history is nearly 100% BS due to politics, economics, ego, problems with dating techniques, and various conspiracies. Agreed. But, I've been researching the distinct possibility that human history (in terms of civilizations) are much more ancient than we've been told, so coming across this book was very interesting to me. I wondered how Fomenko could be wrong (if at all) because he is very persuasive in his presentations. Then it dawned on me. If at previous times in prehistory, due to the various catastrophies that are well documented (comets, asteroids, planetary disruptions, plasma discharge, pole reversals, etc) the Earth was in a different position in relation to the sun, different tilt on its axis, different orbit, different rotation (in terms of velocity and DIRECTION), and the continents were in different positions, then would this not cause the ancients to see the sky (constellations) differently? In other words, is Fomenko making erronious assumptions about the physics of the Earth in pre-history, which then corrupt his data with regards to dating the relevant astrology? The last event to seriously disrupt our planet occured roughly 3500 years ago, according to other good researchers, so is it possible Fomenko has been confused by this? The vastly different physics of our planet in the not so distant past may explain this confusion, which is not to say the "mainstream" version of history is correct; on the contrary. I am not an expert in these fields, but wanted to see if this idea could spark discussion.

Pants on fire?.......2007-07-19

Will people ever read before spamming? Yes, Jesuits could not rewrite world history alone, they had help. Anyway, Dr Prof Acad A.Fomenko does not point to jesuits as the driving force of world wide history manipulation in published volumes 1,2,3;, actually he barely mentions the poor devils. Check it with 'Search inside' feature, please. China is rarely mentioned either, in fact, Dr Fomenko is completely eurocentric. Right, his theory contradicts all mainstream schools of history, because in their actual state they are all built on blatantly erroneus chronology. You don't need a mysterious cabal (conspiracy) to falsify history, the falsification is its modus operandi. It is inherent to history(ians) to falsify (distort) events, as it is inherent to humans to boast as it is inherent to power (authority) to legimize itself by referrring to glorious past made to its own order. Dr Prof Fomenko and team have identified scores of instances of such manipulation in Russian, European, etc.. history, and delivered valid statistical proof thereof. His own 'reconstruction' is completely another story. Forget c14 as a valid method of dating. W.Libby has initially discovered a brilliant method of INDEPENDENT dating. Too bad, c14 method has become a joke after a forced marrige with dendrochronology with consensual chronological scale inbuilt. Radiocarbon method can't stand blind tests, but is so very productive as a rubberstamp.

Accepted History & Chronology Must Be Changed. .......2007-04-09

There is no doubt that history as most know it is a sham, & institution's version of History both University & Church is fradulent & inaccurate. Everything was established with an agenda, The real "Dark Ages" are now when we have access to incredible amounts of information past authorities & more important 'common folk' didn't have but our institutions & educators are slow to evolve because of what has ignorantly & arrogantly been taught for too long. This is on many subjects not just Chronology.

For anyone to question "Why would a Mathematician have anything credible to say of History?" The answer is from Dr. Fomenko's preface in the book: "It would be worthwhile to remind the reader that in the XVI-XVII century Chronology was considered to be a subdivision of Mathematics." These volumes could possibly be some of the most important works to date & should be read by everyone with an interest in History, especially professors & educators who have a duty to the public. I have read both books & must say that 'Chronology 1' has some very eye opening & revolutionary information. Even if these volumes are part true the implications are profound & opens the doors to further investigations & questions which must be done. I speak several different lanquages & must say the logic Dr. Fomenko uses with "inflection" of words & words being read from left to right in one region & right to left in another then written backwards, the removal of vowels & get down to basics of words, or different cities & locations having the same name etc. is correct. Vowel usage has always been optional & varied, actually complicating linquistics & study. The first thing one has to understand is that words never had a fixed spelling in history like we do now, the spelling of words was mutable & regional, as well as names & titles of people were vast, varied & changed, NOTHING WAS FIXED or understood linear. Matters of Life & Death as well as financial profiteering yesterday & today were & are made with ignorant, illogical & conspiratorial views of history & reality, it's time people get closer to the Truth & society collectively grow up.

Very Interesting.......2007-03-07

It is a good proposal and I believe it will mature into something even better in the future. I think it deserves to be read.

History as Science Fiction.......2007-01-10

Anatoly Fomenko has written a very intriguing book, full of pictures, charts, and computer 'proof' of his thesis: backwards of AD900 we don't really know what happened or when. Between AD900 and AD1600 there is more certainty, but there is still a lot of fuzzy ground, and things don't get reliable until we get past the 1600's where the printing press made it very difficult for the perpetrators of this timeline manipulation to change anything that had been committed to print. The Dark Ages did not happen. Books were burned for a reason. One organization has doubled the actual length of its existence by expanding the real chronology. Read why.

I had always wondered why Christ died about AD33 and yet men waited until the 11th century to form the Knights Templar, the Cathars, etc and go after the Holy Land by force. Why the 1000 year gap? Turns out there wasn't more than a 10-12 year gap and he proves it using astronomy. This also implies that the planet is not as old as we have been told, and current Christian and other creationist scientists are already championing that idea without being aware of Fomenko's book. The two groups, creationist scientists and the Russian mathematical analysts corroborate each other. Fascinating.

Of course, all this flies in the face of what we have been told traditionally is the 'proper' chronology of western civilization, and most readers will experience 'cognitive dissonance' in reading this book. It means that our history going backwards from AD1600 becomes progressively more incorrect and unreliable until it cannot be trusted at all... in the space of 700-800 years.

Naturally, the curious, open-minded reader will want to know WHO did this, WHY, and did any of the events we think of as really ancient ever happen?
Dr. Fomenko is a respected scientist/mathematician at Moscow State University who has already answered these questions to the satisfaction of his initially skeptical colleagues. Most of them are now believers, a few still refuse to believe (the usual diehards), and of course the western press has ignored Fomenko's work -- for obvious reasons when you read the book. The ones who perpetrated this chronology ruse have a lot to answer for. They are still with us. That's why this book is a well-kept secret.

I gave the book a 4-star rating because I was unable to check out some of his claims; those I checked were as he said. But if even 1/3 of his claims are true, this punches a big hole in what we think is our history, the meaning of western civilization, our educational process (for repeating the ruse as gospel), and the trustworthiness of the organization that perpetrated this ruse, well-intentioned or not.

This book relates to current research into a Young Earth paradigm, to John Keel's discoveries about our planet, and Fr Malachi Martin's insights (in his now out-of-print books). We are indeed sheep who are manipulated and kept ignorant -- for a reason. While knowing what these men have to say may be the "booby prize" (as in: 'what can you do with this knowledge?'), it will provide interesting reading. Didn't someone say: "...and the Truth will set you free."?? For you to judge if this book contains the truth.
