DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This story is worthy of a full-length film. Art as a Mirror Fritz Eberhard is an office worker who was made for a loftier calling. He daydreamed his way through school years doodling and sketching. After completing one paint-by-numbers painting, he moved on to original creations and never looked back. Fritz passionately uses his artwork to woo girlfriends and garner praise from his fellow office workers. He sells the occasional painting, but success remains elusive. Fritz becomes an adulterer and uses his mistress to hone his skills for painting nudes. As he ages, his artistic illusions become obsessive and his behavioral changes begin to have significant effects on his health and family relationships. What becomes of him - a man who was once a fine husband and father? Read Reflections and join Fritz Eberhard on his "trip" to the mirror. Wolfgang Neudorfer is an attorney who lives with his wife, Carol, in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley. He is a lifelong artist working chiefly in oils and watercolors. On a trip he might forget his toothbrush but never his sketch pad. Wolfgang's award-winning artwork adorns the homes of collectors here and abroad. His hobbies include woodcarving, model railroading and gardening.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The Canadian north is still a mystery to most Canadians. What is it like to live in a constant winter temperature of 40 below zero, with barely 2 to 3 hours of daylight? What is it like to live in a community that lives off the land, where a caribou hunt to provide the winter's meat is a matter of life or death? The children are taught life-saving proficiency skills in a very direct way by elders and grandparents. Often, the survival skills of hunting and fishing take precedent over learning the three R's; Kirk accompanied them on hunts, learning along with his students. Kirk writes as he thinks: in pictures. Very visual, he paints charming, amusing and memorable tales of those who cross his path. Who can forget the picture of a shaggy Cross Fox, seizing a scrap of muffin, racing away to bury it, and then coming back for more? Kirk's own illustrations highlight the book, including portraits of his students, and studies of everyday life in the north. His words and his art capture a northern Canada that we may explore with him.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →There can hardly be a better introduction to modern art than this humorous yet insightful book by a contemporary personally admitted info this fascinating, occasionally bizarre world through his encounters with key figures such as Man Ray, Max Ernst, Marcel Duchamp, and René Magritte. William Copley inherited a fortune as a young man and used his wealth to open a gallery in Beverly Hills shortly after World War II. Financially, the business was a flop, but Copley’s attempt to bring culture to the natives of Hollywood won him a place in the annals of art history. Copley himself was apainter and could well understand the work and thought processes of his heroes and coevals. This essay, written in 1976 for the exhibition ‘Paris-New York’, frankly and engagingly depicts episodes in the lives of Surrealist artists from the perspective of a younger colleague in a portrayal that is at once revealing and intimate. 0.

In Reflections and Shadows, the artist evokes an equally enchanting portrait of his own life, conjuring images from his childhood in poverty-stricken Romania, his artistic education in Milan and his first taste of freedom and opportunity, in Washington and New York. Written in collaboration with his close friend, the author Aldo Buzzi, Reflections and Shadows offers a wonderful insight into the life and work of one of the twentieth century's great talents.
