John Constable was English painter; ranked with Turner as one of the greatest British landscape artists. After spending some years working in the Picturesque tradition of landscape and the manner of Gainsborough; Constable developed his own original treatment from the attempt to render scenery more directly and realistically; he thought that No two days are alike; nor even two hours; neither were there ever two leaves of a tree alike since the creation of the world; and: The sound of water escaping from mill dams; willows; old rotten planks; slimy posts and brickwork. I love such things. These scenes made me a painter. He never went abroad; and his finest works are of the places he knew and loved best; particularly Suffolk and Hampstead; where he lived from 1821. Often completing primary sketches prior to starting a large canvas; Constable would draw on the inspiration nature gave him and tries to capture a moment in time; testing his composition first in sketches.

The beginning was somewhat interesting informative; gave insight to the man and the process; also gave interesting info on the actors etc; but half way through to the end was nothing but a useless synopsis of every single episode. Got quite boring from that point on; didnt even bother to finish it.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Pretty good!By Glenn TurnleyHaving seen every episode of Curb; and Seinfeld; there was not a lot new for me. It is arranged in chapters; some quite short; which go over the plots with some behind the scenes action of each episode. For the real fans of Larry David this book will be enjoyable.Hope there is a new season of Curb real soon. Hope Suzie still has her psycho foul mouth!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Pretty; Pretty; Pretty GoodBy Steven ZisserFirst half or so provided some interesting reading about Larry David. The balance of the book consists of summaries of each episode of Curb; although a fun walk down memory lane; more focus on Larry David and less on summarizing the episodes would have been appreciated
