Problem of the artist as a New Englandeer -- 7. Allegory and Symbolism -- 8. A dark necessity -- Melville -- 9. Moment of transition -- 10. The revenger's tragedy -- 11. The troubled mind -- 12. Reassertion of the heart -- Whitman -- 13. Only a language experiment -- 14. Man in the open air.American Renaissance has taken its place as the definitive treatment of that most distinguished age of our literature. Centering his discussion around five of its literary giants--Emerson, Thoreau, Hawthorne, Melville, and Whitman--Matthiessen elucidates their conceptions of nature and the function of literature, and the extent to which these were realized in their writings. The breadth of the book lies in the author's use of the five-year period from 1850 to 1855 as a focal point in interpreting what went before and what followed in the development of our prose and poetry. The masterpieces produced in this one extraordinarily concentrated moment of expression, and fully explored in these pages, include Representative Men, Walden, The Scarlet Letter, The House of the Seven Gables, Moby-Dick, Pierre, and Leaves of Grass.

The face : our human story / by Mancoff, Debra N.,1950-author.(CARDINAL)200904;
Includes bibliographical references (page 298) and index.Introduction -- Birth & childhood -- Love & beauty -- Everyday life -- Faith & ritual -- Rulers & warfare -- Identity & disguise -- Death & the afterlife."The face is not only central to identity, but is also the primary vehicle for human expression, emotion, and character. It signifies intellect and power, is often regarded as a window into the soul, and is the focus of attention when individuals meet. How have different cultures depicted faces-whether a likeness or idealized; whether masked or revealed; whether newborn, in the prime of life, dying, or even deceased? Why has the depiction of the human face been so central to artistic expression in all world cultures? Art historian Debra Mancoff explores the depiction of the human face through the full range of objects and works of art in the collection of the British Museum, and she discovers how the face subtly conveys the full spectrum of human emotion across continents and through the centuries. Arranged thematically (Birth and Childhood; Love and Beauty; Faith, Ritual, and Mythology; Rulers and Warfare; Identity and Disguise; Everyday Life; Death and the Afterlife), each of the book's chapters begins with a brief introduction before depicting faces in various pairings and groupings, offering insights into experiences that we all share as human beings."--Amazon.com.

Color creates light : studies with Hans Hofmann / by Dickey, Tina,1954-author.(CARDINAL)865398; Hofmann, Hans,1880-1966,artist.(CARDINAL)130679; Trillistar Books,publisher.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."[This book] brings together the man, the schools, the painting, the ideas, and the teaching. ... Hofmann's decade of painting in Paris prior to World War I, combined with his observations of the masters of all cultures, enabled him to explain Cubism to the avant-garde and catalyzed the later Abstract Expressionism. In the ateliers of German emigrant Hans Hofmann (1880-1966) in Munich, New York and Provincetown, talented students later to become some of the most significant artists and educators of the time rubbed shoulders with critics, collectors, and curators, who in turn transmitted and transmuted Hofmann's ideas across Europe, America, Canada, and beyond. From how Hofmann taught to what he taught, artists talk shop about the inner workings of the visual language, required reading for those engaged in creative composition, whether visual, verbal, musical, architectural, cinematic, or choreographic.'--Book jacket.
