Description

From the tobacco fields of western Kentucky to the streets of Harlem; from the Gullah Islands off the South Carolina and Georgia coasts to the all-black republic of Haiti; painter Ellis Wilson (1899-1977) examined the scope and depth of black culture. One of Kentuckys most significant African American artists; Wilson graduated from the Art Institute of Chicago in 1923. He spent five more years in the city before moving to New York; where he lived for the rest of his life. Aside from his participation in the WPAs Federal Arts Project and a Guggenheim Fellowship; he was never able to support himself fully by painting. Yet his work has long been praised for its boldness and individuality. Black workers were a favorite subject: field hands; factory workers; loggers; fishermen; and more. Of his 1940s series of black factory employees; Wilson stated; "That was the first time I had ever seen my people working in industry; so I painted them." Over time his documentary style gave way to one that emphasized shape and color over pure representation. Despite exhibitions in New York and elsewhere; Wilson considered a small show at the public library in his hometown of Mayfield in 1947 to be "one of the high points" of his life. This catalog accompanies the first major retrospective of Wilsons paintings. First book in an exciting new series for todays pianist.

One of the most respected artists in popular music today; Jewel is much more than a music industry success with her debut album selling more than 10 million copies. Before her gifted songwriting comes an even more individual art: Poetry. Now available in paperback; A Night without Armor highlights the poetry of Jewel taken from her journals which are both intimate and inspiring; to be embraced and enjoyed. Writing poems and keeping journals since childhood; Jewel has been searching for truth and meaning; turning to her words to record; to discover; and to reflect. In A Night Without Armor; her first collection of poetry; Jewel explores the fire of first love; the lessons of betrayal; and the healing of intimacy. She delves into matters of the home; the comfort of family; the beauty of Alaska; and the dislocation of divorce. Frank and honest; serious and suddenly playful; A Night Without Armor is a talented artists intimate portrait of what makes us uniquely human. In the years following the 1960s; Beatle fans around the world were twice-stunned: in 1970; when their beloved group disbanded; and ten years later when the murder of John Lennon ended a decade of hope that somehow the Fab Four would reunite. Between those milestones were astounding highs and unfathomable lows. George Harrisons 1971 benefit for the suffering of Bangladesh showed the world the possibilities of rocks altruism; while Lennon asked the world to imagine" universal peace before sitting out half the decade to raise his son. Ringo Starr; the most overlooked Beatle; carved himself a surprising niche in film before launching a string of hit singles. And Paul McCartney; widely seen as the instigator of the Fabs breakup; became one of rocks most beloved performers; racking up record-breaking smashes that climaxed with a triumphant world tour in 1976. Fab Four FAQ 2.0 picks up the story where the acclaimed Fab Four FAQ left off. Loaded with images of rare period ephemera; including periodicals; single sleeves; and movie stills; this is the first comprehensive biography of all four ex-Beatles. This book covers everything from their recording careers in the decade after the bands dissolution to the musicians they played with; the bands they influenced; the manifestations of latter-day Beatlemania; and the constant clamor for reunion expressed by fans and - sometimes - by the four themselves.
