How does the use of Gerhard Richter's blur technique in his cycle October 18, 1977 change the effect of the paintings in comparison to the original so Grin Publishing

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Essay from the year 2011 in the subject Art - Photography and Film, printed single-sided, grade: 70, University of Westminster (Media, Arts and Design), course: Perspectives in Photography, language: English, comment: Falls es möglich ist, würde ich den Vertrag lieber nicht über eine Einmalzahlung abschließen, sonder über ein Autorenhonorar. Das System lässt mich nicht mehr zurückgehen und ich habe das falsche Kästchen angeklickt. , abstract: Gerhard Richter is one of the most successful contemporary artists. His work is known for being very diverse and having no specific style seems to be his style. His apparent lack of a clear commitment to a style, an opinion, or a political standpoint can also be found in his blur technique which he uses for his paintings from photographic originals: blurring the originally sharp images abstracts them. Richter s point of view seems to be hidden behind a thin but insurmountable curtain. The blur also keeps the viewer from seeing clear himself, from judging the situation, from taking on a standpoint. The painter has to confront this criticism of having no opinion especially with his political historical subjects, like the paintings Onkel Rudi /Uncle Rudi (1965) or Tante Marianne/ Aunt Marianne (1965), which show relatives of Richter in the context of Nazi Germany. Apart from these, especially the cycle October 18, 1977 made onlookers search for the artist s opinion and intention, as these 15 paintings do not show a political subject represented on the basis of family photographs, like his earlier works. The cycle s source images are press and police photographs and it deals with the events around the Baader- Meinhof gang, a group of terrorists active in Germany in the 1970s. At the time Richter chose to paint this subject, the events had already passed for more than a decade, which seems like he wanted to say something about it that he felt was missing but essential to close this chapter of history. Viewers and critics are therefore looking for his statement in the painting but cannot find what they expect. The painter is criticized for picking a controversial subject, attracting attention to the issue, raising questions but refusing to offer an opinion and refuse an answer. The artist himself, though, says, that the political topicality of my October paintings means almost nothing to me (Richter, 1968, n.p.).In the following essay I want to concentrate on the blur effect in Richter s cycle October, 18 1977 . I will show how the blur changed the effect of the source photographs and that the artist s statement lies exactly there. When generally blur stands for obscuring the clear sight on a subject, this is arguable for the cycle: Through the blur, the viewer here much more gets the chance of a real encounter with these images. This essay will focus on the comparison of the effect of the original photographs and Richter s version.

What Am I Supposed to Do with My Life? Thomas Nelson Publishers

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

"Johnnie is an author whose writing has personally touched my life." -Willie Robertson, CEO of Duck Commander "What Am I Supposed to Do with My Life?" It's a question we've all asked and if it isn't hard enough it seems that our desires for our life and God's are diametrically opposed, continually at odds. But what if the question wasn't so difficult? What if finding God's will was easier than you thought, and what if living it brought you more joy than you ever imagined? Highly acclaimed author and speaker, Johnnie Moore, helps you find the simple answer to one of life's most persistent and difficult questions, "What are you supposed to do with your life?" Herein is the great secret of the will of God: The will of God is more about who you are than where you are or what you do. You don't find it, you become it. So it's time to stop making excuses, and to start turning the particular dials of history that are yours to turn. We need you. God has given you a dream that could change the world. It's your choice whether you will give it a whirl.

My wife has dementia. My responsibilities as a husband and caregiver are to provide for her and to be the caretaker of her memories so I can pass them to my daughter and she can pass those memories to her generation. We live in Franklinton, North Carolina, and I always carry my camera with me. After 40 years as a photojournalist it's hard not to have a camera. These images tell the story of my journey to the store, to my swim class or dropping my daughter off to school. Moments captured seeing the light and moving on. It seems like I'm always moving on. My tasks as a caregiver are demanding, but it's a road that I must travel. We all had dreams to retire travel, write the great novel or just sit and hold hands and watch the sunset. It's all changed now, and that's why I have a commitment and a responsibility to make a difference with my work. It's time for all of us to make a difference. Together we can help change the future.

Journals and Miscellaneous Notebooks HARVARD UNIVERSITY PRESS

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Emerson's journals of 1847-1848 deal primarily with his second visit to Europe, occasioned by a British lecture tour that began at Manchester and Liverpool in November of 1847, took him to Scotland in the following February, and concluded in London during June after he had spent a month as a sightseer in Paris. The journals of these years, alogn with associated notebooks and letters, recorded the materials for lectures that Emerson composed while abroad, for additional lectures on England and the English that he wrote shortly after his return to Concord, and ultimately, for "English Traits," the book growing out of his travels that he was to publish in 1856. Travel abroad provided a needed change for Emerson in 1847 as it had done on previous occasions, though with his usual discounting of the values of mere change of place he was slow in deciding to make the trip. Discouragement with the prevailing political climate at the time of the Mexican War and the old uncertainty about his own proper role in the "Lilliput" of American society were much on his mind as the year began. In March he thought of withdraing temporarily "from all domestic & accustomed relations"--preferably to enjoy "an absolute leisure with books," thought he also recognized the want of some "stated task" to stimulate his flagging vitality; in July he finally agreed to accept a long-standing invitation to visit England as a lecturer. As matters turned out, a full schedule of lectures and travel, unexpectedly heavy social engagements along the way, and proliferating correspondence left Emerson little time for reading but did not prevent him from filling his journals with sharp observations on the passing scene. As Emerson moved about England his acknowledged admiration for the English rose every day, though he was careful to distinguish their less admirable qualities. The Englishman's "stuff or substance seems to be the best of the world," he told Margaret Fuller. "I forgive him all his pride. My respect is the more generous that I have no sympathy with him, only an admiration." He took a wry amusement from the new experience of being lionized by his hosts. In his journals are lively portraits of those who entertained him, such as Richard Monckton Milnes, his particular sponsor in the society of London and Paris, and sketches of literary notables including Rogers, Dc Quincey, Wilson, Tennyson, and Dickens. He renewed acquaintance with Wordsworth and recorded in detail the pronouncements of his old friend Carlyle. Settling in London in March and April of 1848, he divided his time between work at his desk, visits to nearby points of interest, and the mixed pleasures of a busy social life. In May he went to France just as an abortive uprising against the new provisional government was brewing. Four weeks in Paris served to correct his old "prejudice" against the French, who on closer acquaintance rose in his estimation just as the English had done. In June he returned to London to lecture, and in July, after visiting Stonehenge with Carlyle, he sailed home. As the journals reveal, he reached Concord refreshed and renewed by the change of scene, the new acquaintance, and the generous reception that the trip had brought him, and with an enlarged perspective that revealed to him once again the "proper glory" of his own country.

Windfall Random House

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Filled with all of Jenny Han's "favorite things", a romantic new novel from the author of The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight . This story of hope, chance, and change is one Morgan Matson calls "something wonderful" and Stephanie Perkins says "is rich with the intensity of real love." Alice doesn't believe in luck-at least, not the good kind. But she does believe in love, and for some time now, she's been pining for her best friend, Teddy. On his eighteenth birthday-just when it seems they might be on the brink of something-she buys him a lottery ticket on a lark. To their astonishment, he wins $140 million, and in an instant, everything changes. At first, it seems like a dream come true, especially since the two of them are no strangers to misfortune. As a kid, Alice won the worst kind of lottery possible when her parents died just over a year apart from each other. And Teddy's father abandoned his family not long after that, leaving them to grapple with his gambling debts. Through it all, Teddy and Alice have leaned on each other. But now, as they negotiate the ripple effects of Teddy's newfound wealth, a gulf opens between them. And soon, the money starts to feel like more of a curse than a windfall. As they try to find their way back to each other, Alice learns more about herself than she ever could have imagined . . . and about the unexpected ways in which luck and love sometimes intersect. Praise for Windfall : " Windfall is about all of my favorite things-a girl's first big love, her first big loss, and-her first big luck." -Jenny Han, New York Times bestselling author of To All the Boys I've Loved Before " Windfall is perfectly named; reading it, I felt like I had suddenly found something wonderful. It's a story about love, and luck, and the way our lives can change in an instant. I laughed and cried and bought a lottery ticket the very next day." -Morgan Matson, New York Times bestselling author of The Unexpected Everything " Windfall is rich with the intensity of real love- in all its heartache and hope." - Stephanie Perkins, New York Times bestselling author of Isla and the Happily Ever After

Ted Dekker - Outlaw WARNER INTERNATIONAL

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

The story of how I, Julian Carter, and my precious two-year old son, Stephen, left Atlanta Georgia and found ourselves on a white sailboat, tossed about like a cork on a raging sea off of Australia's northern tip in 1963, is harrowing. But it pales in comparison to what happened deep in the jungle where I was taken as a slave by a savage tribe unknown to the world. Some places dwell in darkness so deep that even God seems to stay away. There, my mind was torn in two by the gods of the earth. There, one life ended so another could begin. Some will say I was a fool for making the choices I made. But they would have done the same. They, too, would have embraced death if they knew what I knew, and saw through my eyes. My name is Julian and this is my story. But more, it is the story of my son who was born to change the world. From deep in the impenetrable jungles where New York Times bestselling author Ted Dekker was born and raised, comes OUTLAW, an epic adventure of two worlds that perhaps only he could write. Full of harrowing twists, sweeping violence, and wild love, Outlaw takes us beyond the skin of this world to another unseen.

The story of how I, Julian Carter, and my precious two-year old son, Stephen, left Atlanta Georgia and found ourselves on a white sailboat, tossed about like a cork on a raging sea off of Australia's northern tip in 1963, is harrowing. But it pales in comparison to what happened deep in the jungle where I was taken as a slave by a savage tribe unknown to the world. Some places dwell in darkness so deep that even God seems to stay away. There, my mind was torn in two by the gods of the earth. There, one life ended so another could begin. Some will say I was a fool for making the choices I made. But they would have done the same. They, too, would have embraced death if they knew what I knew, and saw through my eyes. My name is Julian and this is my story. But more, it is the story of my son who was born to change the world. From deep in the impenetrable jungles where New York Times bestselling author Ted Dekker was born and raised, comes OUTLAW, an epic adventure of two worlds that perhaps only he could write. Full of harrowing twists, sweeping violence, and wild love, Outlaw takes us beyond the skin of this world to another unseen.
