Michelangelo and the art of letter writing / by Parker, Deborah,1954-(CARDINAL)369640; Michelangelo Buonarroti,1475-1564.(CARDINAL)156670;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Machine generated contents note: Introduction; 1. The role of letters in biographies of Michelangelo; 2. From word to image: epistolary rhetoric and artistic form; 3. From experience to expression: representations of captivity in Michelangelo's art, poetry, and letters; 4. Michelangelo's words: saying, doing, meaning."Michelangelo's extant correspondence is the most abundant of any artist. Spanning 67 years, it comprises roughly 1,400 letters, of which 500 were written by Michelangelo himself. Biographers and art historians have combed the letters for insight into Michelangelo's views on art, his contractual obligations, and his relationships. Literary scholars have explored parallels between the letters and Michelangelo's poetry. Nevertheless, this is the first book to study the letters for their intrinsically literary qualities. In this volume, Deborah Parker examines Michelangelo's use of language as a means of understanding the creative process of this extraordinary artist. His letters often revel in witticisms, rhetorical flourishes, and linguistic ingenuity. Close study of his mastery of words and modes of self-presentation shows Michelangelo to be a consummate artist who deploys the resources of language to considerable effect"--Provided by publisher.

In his classic work, The Art of Loving, renowned psychoanalyst and social philosopher Erich Fromm explores love in all its aspects--not only romantic love, steeped in false conceptions and lofty expectations, but also brotherly love, erotic love, self-love, the love of God, and the love of parents for their children. --

Inspired by a bestselling turn-of-the-century correspondencehandbook penned by a snooty Victorian who had strong opinions on how to lick a stamp, Rachel Syme has rewritten the staid rules of yore for today's letter writers. Syme insists you must stuff your envelopes with flat frivolities (tip: never glitter!), askbefore you perfume a parcel, and cultivate your own ritual around keeping up with your correspondence. Immerse yourself in this epistolary bric-a-brac celebrating the intimate (whimsical! expressive!) art of written correspondence, covering every part ofthe process from courting and keeping a pen pal down to buying the best nibs for your refurbished vintage fountain pen. As you read fragments of letters from some of contemporary history's most iconic figures-Zelda and F. Scott Fitzgerald, Audre Lorde and Pat Parker, Virginia Woolf, MFK Fisher, Diana Vreeland, Octavia Butler-take note of how to write about the weather without being a total snooze, how to write a letter like a poet, and how to infuse your writing with a glamorous mystique. Learn about Julia Child's lifelong pen pal, Maya Angelou's penchant for hotel stationery, and the importance of choosing a signature paper that captures your essence. After all, the words you write on paper, no matter how limited the audience, can offer comfort, sharedsorrow, cathartic rage, hard-earned insight, refreshing strangeness, absurd silliness, understanding, peace, beauty-and often all of those things all mixed up at the same time"--
