Timothy's personal family history encompasses Ghana, where he was born, Sierra Leone, where he lived until the age of nine, and the UK where he current lives and works. This catalogue illustrates works from 2021 to 2022 with a focus on two solo exhibitions with Gallery 1957 in Accra, Ghana and London, England, Grandma's Hands, Accra, Ghana (2021), and Postcards from a Promised Land, London, England (2022)."Arthur Timothy (b. 1957, Ghana. Lives and works in Bath and London) Arthur Timothy is an artist and architect, whose artworks often depict close family members and autobiographical events, specifically in Accra, where the artist was born in the same year that Ghana gained independence from colonial rule, and Freetown, Sierra Leone, where he lived until the age of 9. His early large-scale oil paintings, inspired by an archive of photographs found amongst his father's papers, encourage considered and nuanced responses frozen in time. In fresh washes of colour, the artist presents images that are underpinned by memory, both personal and political. Timothy's work is included in the permanent collections of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, USA; The ICA Miami, USA; The Tia Collection, USA; The Dean Collection, USA; and other notable private collections. His drawings are retained in the V&A and RIBA Drawings Collection, UK. Arthur Timothy was born in Accra, Ghana and spent his early childhood in Freetown, Sierra Leone. He attended Queen's College in Taunton, England before studying Architecture at The University of Sheffield and establishing his architectural practice, Timothy Associates, in 1986. After decades of practising as a RIBA chartered architect, Arthur embarked on his career as a painter in 2018."-- Biography provided by artist, accessed 9/27/2024- Subjects: Exhibition catalogs.; Timothy, Arthur; Art, Ghanaian; Art, Modern; Painting, African; Painting, Modern; Portrait painting; Portraits; Figurative painting;

- A year of last things : poems / by Ondaatje, Michael,1943-author.(CARDINAL)351447;
"Following several of his internationally acclaimed, beloved novels, A Year of Last Things is Michael Ondaatje's long-awaited return to poetry. In pieces that are sometimes wittily funny, moving, and always wise, we journey back through time by way of alchemical leaps, unearthing writings by revered masters, moments of shared tenderness, and abandoned landscapes we hold onto to rediscover the influence of every border crossed. Moving from a Sri Lankan boarding school to Moliere's chair during his last stage performance, to Bulgarian churches and their icons, to a California coast, and his beloved Canadian rivers, Michael Ondaatje casts a brilliant eye that merges his past and present, in the way memory and the distant shores of art and lost friends continue to influence all that surrounds him."--- Subjects: Autobiographical poetry.; Poetry.; Ondaatje, Michael, 1943-;

- The rest is memory : a novel / by Tuck, Lily,1938-author(CARDINAL)347728;
Includes bibliographical references."First glimpsed riding on the back of a boy's motorcycle, fourteen-year-old Czeslawa comes to life in this mesmerizing novel by Lily Tuck, who imagines her upbringing in a small Polish village before her world imploded in late 1942. Stripped of her modest belongings, shorn, and tattooed number 26947 on arriving at Auschwitz, Czeslawa is then photographed. Three months later, she is dead. How did this happen to an ordinary Polish citizen? This is the question that Tuck grapples with in this haunting novel, which frames Czeslawa's story within the epic tragedy of six million Poles who perished during the German occupation. A decade prior to writing The Rest Is Memory, Tuck read an obituary of the photographer Wilhelm Brasse, who took more than 40,000 pictures of the Auschwitz prisoners. Included were three of Czeslawa Kwoka, a Catholic girl from rural southeastern Poland. Tuck cut out the photos and kept them, determined to learn more about Czeslawa, but she was only able to glean the barest facts: the village she came from, the transport she was on, that she was accompanied by her mother and her neighbors, her tattoo number, and the date of her death. From this scant evidence, Tuck's novel becomes a remarkable kaleidoscopic feat of imagination, something only our greatest novelists can do." --- Subjects: Autobiographical fiction.; Biographical fiction.; Historical fiction.; Novels.; Kwoka, Czesława; Auschwitz (Concentration camp); Teenage girls; World War, 1939-1945;

Includes bibliographical references."Born in Atlanta, Georgia, Emma Amos (1937-2020) was a distinguished painter and printmaker. She is best known for her bold and colorful mixed-media paintings that create visual tapestries in which she examines the intersection of race, class, gender and privilege in both the art world and society at large. This survey exhibition and catalogue, published and organized by the Georgia Museum of Art, include approximately 60 works from the beginnings of her career to the end of it, reflecting her experiences as a painter, printmaker, and weaver. Her large-scale canvases often incorporate African fabrics and semi autobiographical content, which are drawn from her personal odyssey as an artist, her interest in icons in art and world history and her sometimes tenuous engagement with these themes as a woman of color"--- Subjects: Biographies.; Exhibition catalogs.; Amos, Emma, 1937-2020; Amos, Emma, 1937-2020;
