Van Gogh and the Artists He Loved Random House USA Inc

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

The compelling story of how Vincent van Gogh developed his audacious, iconic style by immersing himself in the work of others, featuring hundreds of paintings by Van Gogh as well as the artists who inspired him from the New York Times bestselling co-author of Van Gogh: The Life Important . . . inspires us to look at Van Gogh and his art afresh. Dr. Chris Stolwijk, general director, RKD Netherlands Institute for Art History   Vincent van Gogh s paintings look utterly unique his vivid palette and boldly interpretive portraits are unmistakably his. Yet however revolutionary his style may have been, it was actually built on a strong foundation of paintings by other artists, both his contemporaries and those who came before him. Now, drawing on Van Gogh s own thoughtful and often profound comments about the painters he venerated, Steven Naifeh gives a gripping account of the artist s deep engagement with their work. We see Van Gogh s gradual discovery of the subjects he would make famous, from wheat fields to sunflowers. We watch him experimenting with the loose brushwork and bright colors used by Édouard Manet, studying the Pointillist dots used by Georges Seurat, and emulating the powerful depictions of the peasant farmers painted by Jean-François Millet, all vividly illustrated in nearly three hundred full-color images of works by Van Gogh and a variety of other major artists, including Claude Monet, Paul Gauguin, and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, positioned side by side. Thanks to the vast correspondence from Van Gogh to his beloved brother, Theo, Naifeh, a Pulitzer Prize winner, is able to reconstruct Van Gogh s artistic world from within. Observed in eloquent prose that is as compelling as it is authoritative, Van Gogh and the Artists He Loved enables us to share the artist s journey as he created his own daring, influential, and widely beloved body of work.

Seer of Bayside Oxford University Press Inc

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

In 1968, Veronica Lueken, a Catholic housewife in Bayside, Queens, New York, began to experience visions of the Virgin Mary. Over almost three decades, she imparted some 300 messages received from Mary, Jesus, and other heavenly personages. These revelations, many of which were broadcast on local television, severely criticized the liturgical changes of Vatican II and the sinful state of American society. Unless everyone repented, Lueken warned, a "fiery ball" would collide with the Earth, causing devastation around the world. Her response to repeated efforts by the authorities of the Catholic Church to dismiss, discredit, and banish her was to declare that Pope Paul VI was a communist imposter and that the Church had been in error since Vatican II, and to find new venues in which to communicate her revelations. Lueken died in 1995, but her followers still gather to promote her messages at a monument in Flushing Meadows Park, on the site of the Vatican Pavilion of the 1964-65 World's Fair. Known as "the Baysiders," they believe that St. Robert Bellarmine Church, from which Lueken was banned from holding vigils, will someday become "the Lourdes of America" and that Leuken will be canonized as a saint. Scholars have characterized the Baysiders variously as a new religious movement, a form of folk piety, and a traditionalist sect. The Baysiders regard themselves as loyal Catholics-perhaps the last in existence. They oppose both the Church hierarchy, which they believe compromised by modernism, and ultra-traditionalist Catholic groups who believe that the papal see is vacant. Joseph Laycock draws on both untapped archival materials and extensive ethnographic research to unfold the fascinating story of Veronica Lueken and the Baysiders from 1968 to the present. He shows how the Baysiders have diverged significantly from mainstream Catholic culture while keeping in dialogue with Church authorities, and offers insight into ways the persistence of the Baysiders and other Marian groups have contributed to greater amenability from Church authorities to devotional culture and private revelation. Veronica Lueken and the Baysiders is an invaluable study of the perennial struggle between lay Catholics and Church authorities over who has the power to define Catholic culture.

Stalin's Apologist Oxford University Press Inc

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Short, unattractive, hobbling about Stalin's Moscow on a wooden leg, Walter Duranty was an unlikely candidate for the world's most famous foreign correspondent. Yet for almost twenty years his articles filled the front page of The New York Times with gripping coverage of the aftermath of the Russian Revolution. A witty, engaging, impish character with a flamboyant life-style, he was a Pulitzer Prize winner, the individual most credited with helping to win the U.S. recognition for the Soviet regime, and the reporter who had predicted the success of the Bolshevik state when all others claimed it was doomed. But, as S.J. Taylor reveals in this provocative biography, Walter Duranty played a key role in perpetrating some of the greatest lies history has ever known. Stalin's Apologist deftly unfolds the story of this accomplished but sordid and tragic life. Drawing on sources ranging from newspapers to private letters and journals to interviews with such figures as William Shirer and W. Averell Harriman, Taylor's vivid narrative unveils a figure driven by ambition, whose early success reporting on Bolshevik Russia

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Men born to distinction do not always develop it in their homeland. Sometimes trans plantation taps routes to hidden sources of concern for the embracing of novel con cepts or the clarification of man's behavior, illuminating this understanding in the lan guage of their adopted tongue. Such a one was Joseph Conrad, the Polish sailor whose new vision graced our literature long after his death in 1924. Such a one also is the author this book, who was born in that same year to carryon his country's vigor and resourcefulness in our time. He is numbered among those distinguished emigres whose contributions to our culture and progress emanated from the trials and tribulations of the political upheavals, persecutions, and wars of Europe. Like many others, he has brought sound traditions and learning from his native land to enhance the new and less developed of what was only recently a frontier land. Watersheds in world events impose themselves willy-nilly on our lives. One such time was 1946, when the author of this book left his native land and set out for the West. He spent six months in London learning English and then moved to Ireland, where he trained in medicine and also absorbed novel ways and a new culture, includ ing the writings of Swift and Joyce. This young medical graduate's potential was soon recognized by his teacher in neurology at Belfast, who with foresight predicted great accomplishment.

Multiple New York Times best-selling author Dr. Joseph Mercola and Ronnie Cummins, founder and director of the Organic Consumers Association, team up to expose the truth-and end the madness-about COVID-19. Since early 2020, the world has experienced a series of catastrophic events-a global pandemic caused by what appears to be an engineered coronavirus; international lockdowns and border closings causing widespread business closures, economic collapse, and massive unemployment; and an unprecedented curtailment of civil liberties and freedoms in the name of keeping people safe by locking them up in their homes. We are now living in a world that is increasingly ruled, not by our democratic systems and institutions, but by public health fiat, carried out by politicians who rule by instilling fear and panic. In The Truth About COVID-19, Dr. Mercola and Cummins reveal new and emerging evidence that: The SARS-CoV-2 virus was, indeed, lab-engineered and emerged from a negligently managed bioweapons lab in Wuhan, China The global pandemic was long anticipated by global elites who have used it to facilitate and hide the largest upward transfer of wealth in human history PCR testing, case counts, morbidity, and vaccine safety and efficacy data have been widely manipulated and misrepresented Obesity, diabetes, and heart disease are known to worsen COVID-19 outcomes, but the junk food industry continues to push its agenda at the expense of public health Safe, simple, and inexpensive treatment and prevention for COVID-19 have been censored and suppressed to create a clear path for vaccine acceptance Effectiveness of the vaccines has been wildly exaggerated and major safety questions have gone unanswered The good news in all of this is that we can take control of our health and that, together, we have the power to unite and fight back for our health, democracy, and freedom. The time is now for a global awakening. As Dr. Mercola and Cummins remind us, this is the fight of our lives.
