Title: The Patient Pupil of Nature: The Work and Vision of Daniel Graves Subtitle: CV/Visual Arts Research, Book 160 Author: Magdalena Wasiura Narrator: Bruno Belmar Format: Unabridged Length: 43 mins Language: English Release date: 12-28-17 Publisher: Cv Publications Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Visual Arts Publisher's Summary: Daniel Graves is a man of many talents. He juggles his responsibilities of being a painter, a teacher, the director of The Florence Academy of Art, a husband, and a father remarkably well. He knew from the age of three or four who he wanted to be. His career launched when he was 11 years old. "It was an art show in a local shopping mall; I entered something and I won the first prize," he says, smiling. He studied with many artists including Richard Lack, Richard Serrin, and Signorina Simi, and received regular critiques from Pietro Annigoni. He admits never to have studied with anyone for a long period of time because of the family responsibilities towards a wife and a child since the age of 21. He wants his students to be authentic, and encourages them to find their own voice. Artists who are on the "same team" as him sometimes criticize Florence Academy. His response to that is simple. "We need allies and not critics because what we all trying to do is extremely difficult. To make art that is beautiful is very hard." biacuaduc@gmail.com (Magdalena Wasiura) Thu, 28 Dec 2017 07:14:18 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/The-Patient-Pupil-of-Nature-The-Work-and-Vision-of-Daniel-Graves-Audiobook/B078MTN2SS thebookvoice.com 00:43:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: An honest and insightful interview An honest and insightful interview to Daniel Graves, a living master painter, a teacher, and the school director of the Florence Art Academy. Although this is just a little over twenty pages, I enjoyed it, and consider it worth reading. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Caravaggio-I-grandi-dellarte-Audiobook/B0787K4GV4 Ascolta questo libro audio completo gratuitamente su https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> Titolo: Caravaggio (I grandi dell'arte) Autore: Michele Tosi Narratore: Alessandra Eleonora, Marcello Pozza Formato: Unabridged Durata: 40 mins Lingua: Italiano Data di pubblicazione: 12-27-17 Editore: GoodMood Categoria: Arts & Entertainment, Visual Arts Riepilogo Editore: Controverso, rivoluzionario, emozionante, sorprendente...

Title: We Go Pogo Subtitle: Walt Kelly, Politics, and American Satire Author: Kerry D. Soper Narrator: Rob Saladino Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 40 mins Language: English Release date: 10-17-17 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Visual Arts Publisher's Summary: Walt Kelly (1913-1973) is one of the most respected and innovative American cartoonists of the twentieth century. His long-running Pogo newspaper strip has been cited by modern comics artists and scholars as one of the best ever. Cartoonists Bill Watterson (Calvin and Hobbes), Jeff Smith (Bone), and Frank Cho (Liberty Meadows) have all cited Kelly as a major influence on their work. Alongside Uncle Scrooge's Carl Barks and Krazy Kat's George Herriman, Kelly is recognized as a genius of "funny animal" comics. We Go Pogo is the first comprehensive study of Kelly's cartoon art and his larger career in the comics business. Author Kerry D. Soper examines all aspects of Kelly's career - from his high school drawings; his work on such animated Disney movies as Dumbo, Pinocchio, and Fantasia; and his 1930s editorial cartoons for Life and the New York Herald Tribune. Soper taps Kelly's extensive personal and professional correspondence and interviews with family members, friends, and cartoonists to create a complex portrait of one of the art form's true geniuses. From Pogo's inception in 1948 until Kelly's death, the artist combined remarkable draftsmanship, slapstick humor, fierce social satire, and inventive dialogue and dialects. He used the adventures of his animals - all denizens of the Okefenokee Swamp - as a means to comment on American and international politics and cultural mores. The strip lampooned Senator Joseph McCarthy during the height of McCarthyism, the John Birch Society during the 1960s, Fidel Castro during the Bay of Pigs fiasco, and many others. The book is published by University Press of Mississippi. Critic Reviews: "This is the real deal! Comprehensive, serious, and full of juicy tidbits on Kelly's life and career."

(Jeff Smith, creator of the comic books Bone and RASL) Members Reviews: No comics I had hoped to find some actual "Pogo" comics on Amazon. This book was disappointing to me. Amazons choice of Walt Kelly's work was a big crash from my perspective. I was a Pogo Fan Very interesting book about the life and experiences of Walt Kelly that led him to develop Pogo. It contains illustrations of his strips. I believe this is a worthwhile book if you ever were a fan of Pogo. Five Stars excellent service received as described I Goper Soper Simply put Kerry D. Soper has done a great job with this book. Pogo is undoubtedly one of the great newspaper strips of the 20th century. In this book, Soper explores the work of Walt Kelly and makes a convincing case for why Pogo should be highly regarded without going into fanboy hagiography (a problem that a lot of books on comics/newspaper comics have). Since this is a book published by a University Press, I was somewhat concerned that I would find this book too esoteric for me to understand as I haven't studied English or anything related to literature/cartooning since I was in high-school. I needn't have worried. The book explores Pogo using academic concepts but is written in a manner which is accessible enough so even a layman like me can understand it. I especially enjoyed Soper's discussions of race and gender in Pogo, how in the sixties Kelly's artistic style was going out of fashion and the comparison between Pogo and Lil Abner (a newspaper strip by Kelly's friend and contemporary Al Capp). https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Horst-Photographer-of-Style-Audiobook/B0753Z1NS1 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Horst: Photographer of Style Author: Marina Vaizey Narrator: Dana Brewer Harris Format: Unabridged Length: 12 mins Language: English Release date: 08-28-17 Publisher: Cv Publications Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Visual Arts Publisher's Summary: Fashion seems to an obsessive interest at the moment, weaving its way ever more into the high arts, a complement to the scholarly study of costume, which is an integral part of art history. The range is vast. Just an example or two: over a decade ago, Whistler, Women, and Fashion was a revelatory exhibition at the Frick, while just last year In Fine Style: The Art of Tudor and Stuart Fashion at the Queen's Gallery, overtly intertwined politics with art. Combined with the ever growing museological and commercial interest in photography in general, with a genre nod to fashion for individual photographers, exhibitions have multiplied exponentially; just a few mentions would include the several Beaton exhibitions in London of the past few years, and at the NPG, Horst himself (2001), not to mention Man Ray, to David Bailey's Stardust. The examination of fashion and photography together is almost irresistible in terms of the combination of social and art historical scholarship that this potent relationship offers. Fashion can be seen as both an art and a compendium of social insights, and so can fashion photography. The dazzling exhibition of Horst at the Victoria and Albert is particularly apt: classically trained in avant garde design and architecture, Horst was involved as a precociously successful photographer for Condé Nast publications, not only with the leading fashion houses, but the social and artistic élite. And he took sustained inspiration from the isms of art - past and present. In the thirties he photographed costumes by Dali and used props from Giacometti furniture. Dali designed a set for a photograph for Horst to take for American Vogue, with dresses by Hattie Carnegie. In the 1940s, he photographed models in the Dali room of Helena Rubinstein in New York. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Marina Vaizey) Mon, 28 Aug 2017 05:20:14 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Horst-Photographer-of-Style-Audiobook/B0753Z1NS1 thebookvoice.com 00:12:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Chronicling another painful divide in 1964, McCullin photographed a distraught, silently screaming widow, a Turkish Cypriot victim of that civil war, restrained and held by other women, in an oddly dignified frozen tableau. In a 1968 photograph a US Marine pauses for thought, inadvertently echoing those renaissance paintings of meditating scholars, holding his helmet rather than a book - but this is a quiet moment in the battle for Hue. It is McCullin's photographs which helped to define the savage war in Vietnam for Britain, and beyond. Some is unbearably sad: a young North Vietnamese soldier, a casualty of Hue, stares sightlessly at the photographer, his hands outstretched to the detritus of his pockets, scattered on the earth beside the body - bullets and photographs of his family, wife, and babies. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Marina Vaizey) Mon, 28 Aug 2017 18:28:48 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Don-McCullin-Audiobook/B0753KQMWB thebookvoice.com 00:13:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Random House presents the unabridged downloadable audiobook edition of West of Eden by Jean Stein, read by Scott Brick, Paul Boehmer, Tara Sands, Cassandra Campbell, Arthur Morey, Mark Bramhall, Kathleen McInerney, Ann Marie Lee, Fred Sanders, Jorjeana Marie, Keith Szarabajka, Will Damron and Bruce Mann. West of Eden is the definitive story of Hollywood told, in their own words, by the people on the inside: Lauren Bacall, Arthur Miller, Dennis Hopper, Frank Gehry, Ring Lardner, Joan Didion, Stephen Sondheim - all interviewed by Jean Stein, who grew up in the '40s in a fairy-tale mansion in the Hollywood Hills. The audiobook takes us from the discovery of oil in the '20s with the story of the tycoon Edward Doheny (There Will Be Blood) and traces the growth of corruption through the syndicates, the mob, and the movie studios - from the beginnings of the film industry to the end, with News Corp. and Rupert Murdoch (who bought the Stein mansion in 1985). West of Eden is about money, power, fame and terrible secrets: the doomed Hollywood of the late '50s, early '60s - 'the rotten heart of paradise'. Like her last book, the best-selling Edie, this is an oral history told through brilliantly edited interviews. As this is Hollywood, it's a book full of sex, drugs and celebrity glamour, but because it's built from the firsthand accounts of people who were actually there, many of them writers, actors and artists, it's also strangely claustrophobic, seductive and completely compelling. Full list of narrators includes Kathleen McInerney, Ann Marie Lee, Fred Sanders, Jorjeana Marie, Keith Szarabajka, Will Damron and Bruce Mann. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Jean Stein) Thu, 15 Jun 2017 18:55:40 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/West-of-Eden-Audiobook/B071SF5LVQ thebookvoice.com 11:17:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Unhappy families While reading this, I was continually reminded of Tolstoy's well-known sentence "All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.â The families in the book enjoyed fabulous wealth and their members often had rewarding and creative careers, but oh, brother... what unhappiness! Murder, suicide, mental illness, financial disasters, etc., etc. You name it. The only exception was Jean Stein's own family, and perhaps that's just because she didn't talk about it (and even for them there was a kidnapping threat). As a third-generation native of Los Angeles (since escaped), I'm perpetually amazed by the goings-on there. My father was a reporter in Los Angeles in the thirties, and he used to regale us with stories of the rich and famous and their quirks. Stein's book gives us a fascinating picture, with all the important gossip, in a rather unusual format: quotations (often less than a page) from people who actually were there are cleverly strung together in a way that draws the reader inexorably along. Read it, then read some Raymond Chandler, and then go see L.A. Confidential. Four Stars Only because it is heavy on Jennifer Jones. It saved the book for me. The actress and her psychiatrists! I found this a fascinating account of the lives of a small group of people. I was familiar with the stories of Jennifer Jones and Jack Warner. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Leonardo-e-la-pittura-Audiobook/B01MR2X5DV Ascolta questo libro audio completo gratuitamente su https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> Titolo: Leonardo e la pittura Sottotitolo: I capolavori del grande artista del Rinascimento Autore: Luca Garai Narratore: Fabio Farnè Formato: Unabridged Durata: 25 mins Lingua: Italiano Data di pubblicazione: 01-06-17 Editore: Area51 Publishing Categoria: Arts & Entertainment, Visual Arts Riepilogo Editore: Gli audiobook della serie "Leonardo: i volti del genio" ti guidano nel mondo di Leonardo da Vinci, mente visionaria che ha rivoluzionato le arti e le scienze nel Rinascimento, incuriosendo gli uomini di ogni tempo con le sue idee innovative e incredibilmente moderne.

Nel mondo dell'arte, Tamara de Lempicka è una delle donne più famose, insieme a pochi altri nomi noti come Frida Khalo, Artemisia Gentileschi ed Elisabetta Sirani. L'artista di origini polacche portò una personalissima rivoluzione agli inizi del Novecento in tutte le gallerie d'Europa.

Members Reviews: My favorite Lenten meditation tool Having read and thoroughly enjoyed George Weigel's masterful biography of Pope Saint John Paul ll "Witness To Hope", I knew this would be a good book but Weigel's brilliant Biblical commentaries have truly enriched my Lenten spiritual journey. Coupled with that are the wonderful description of the Roman martyrs and their Station Churches and the devotions associated with them, so important in the development of the Faith! It's a wonderful book to listen to but also to read as the photographs are stunning! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/An-Analysis-of-Statues-Depicting-the-Biblical-Character-David-Audiobook/B00S8QP30U Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: On Photography Author: Susan Sontag Narrator: Jennifer Van Dyck Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 12 mins Language: English Release date: 09-02-11 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 141 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Visual Arts Publisher's Summary: First published in 1973, this is a study of the force of photographic images, which are continually inserted between experience and reality. Sontag here develops further the concept of "transparency". When anything can be photographed, and photography has destroyed the boundaries and definitions of art, a viewer can approach a photograph freely, with no expectations of discovering what it means. This collection of six lucid and invigorating essays, with the most famous being "In Plato's Cave", make up a deep exploration of how the image has affected society.

This collection of six lucid and invigorating essays, with the most famous being "In Plato's Cave", make up a deep exploration of how the image has affected society. Critic Reviews: "A brilliant analysis of the profound changes photographic images have made in our way of looking at the world and at ourselves over the last 140 years." ( The Washington Post Book World) "Every page of On Photography raises important and exciting questions about its subject and raises them in the best way." ( The New York Times Book Review) " On Photography is to my mind the most original and illuminating study of the subject." (Calvin Trillin, The New Yorker) Members Reviews: I'm Glad I Bought, Despite Some Negative Reviews What three words best describe Jennifer Van Dycks voice? Okay Any additional comments? I was concerned that this book would be negative about photography, based on some low star review(s). However, I think Sontag simply points out the many different points of views and backgrounds that photographers express through their work. I feel like Sontag is also giving a valuable history lesson of the leading photographers as well. She seems to also have admiration where she feels it's due, towards photography and photographers. After all, she was Annie Leibovitz's partner for over a decade, encouraged and admired her photography too. I agree with Sontag about both the negative and positive impact that photography can have. I'm glad I decided to listen. A good addition to my MA in photojournalism. one of the classics on photography Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? It is an easy listen and is one of the most important books on Photography Who was your favorite character and why? Hmm.. it is a selection of essays. The author (not a photographer) was able to write about how photography has influenced the world and been influenced What about Jennifer Van Dycks performance did you like? She has an easy voice to listen to If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Photography's influence on the world Fantastic The informational approach to the subject is told with such a great literary style that simply captures the audience's mind , concise and classic, perfect pace and tone for the subject, love every bit of it. Deep I enjoyed it very much--took me right back to my graduate studies and the sheer enjoyment of disciplined scholarly analysis and the "weighing and considering" of insights that spring forth. I will listen to it again! Fantastic, but would rather read. If you could sum up On Photography in three words, what would they be? Machine gun thoughts Any additional comments? I really enjoyed this, but I'd recommend getting a non-audiobook version of it. The cadence at which thought provoking sentiments are shared is just too much for an audiobook. You'll want to re-read lines, see names, etc. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/The-Greatest-Minds-and-Ideas-of-All-Time-Audiobook/B002VA8KAE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Too Fast Whilst the content was interesting, the narrator read way too fast. I could not absorb much of the content. As a result I did not enjoy the book. This is the first time I have had this issue with audio books. From now on I will always listen to sample before purchase. Great Summary If you could sum up The Greatest Minds and Ideas of All Time in three words, what would they be? Overview. Fascinating. Inspiring. What was one of the most memorable moments of The Greatest Minds and Ideas of All Time? The entire book was exceptional. Which character as performed by John Little was your favorite? Too difficult to choose. Any additional comments? This book is supposed to be an overview, so the reviews that criticize this book as being "too fast" do not seem to be taking in to account the very objective of this book in that it is meant to be a summary. This book is well worth the read, as are the other books by Will Durant. I highly recommend them. A "Greatest Hits" of History This was my introduction to Will Durant. The writing is spectacular. The language at times is almost poetic and I felt the speed at which the text was read was a bit fast. It is short but meaty. I highly recommend it; you will find yourself skipping back a few times to fully enjoy the prose. Kinda like Wagner " not as bad as it sounds" I bought this dispite the negative reviews. I am a total Durant fan. Read the History of the World, Yup that one.The first bit is great and engrossing, 100 greatest books does not make a great read. This might be better in hardcover. But have been through it twice and will plunge in again. I prefer books good for read after read, this qualifies , but you better like Durant. He can do better! Many on the list are antiquated. And the lists are read as quickly as the reasons for his choice. In some categories it's like hearing a hone book read. Durant does better on his history of the philosophers. In this book He leaves out all of the religious leaders on a purpose that I don't understand. Most of which held more sway, good and bad, than any of the others on a list. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Seven-Days-in-the-Art-World-Audiobook/B00QSH5GOE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Museum attendance is surging. More people than ever call themselves artists. Contemporary art has become a mass entertainment, a luxury good, a job description, and, for some, a kind of alternative religion. In a series of beautifully paced narratives, Sarah Thornton investigates the drama of a Christie's auction, the workings in Takashi Murakami's studios, the elite at the Basel Art Fair, the eccentricities of Artforum magazine, the competition behind an important art prize, life in a notorious art-school seminar, and the wonderland of the Venice Biennale. She reveals the new dynamics of creativity, taste, status, money, and the search for meaning in life. A judicious and juicy account of the institutions that have the power to shape art history, based on hundreds of interviews with high-profile players, Thornton's entertaining ethnography will change the way you look at contemporary culture.

(Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Good insight The book provides great insight, but I personally lost interest in the subject about half way in. An artist who loved the book Very revealing relating to the realities of the art world. I have found that many good artist are naive about how work is sold and moves through the commercial chain. This book should be required reading for students in art school and of interest to collectors and anyone interested in how contemporary art is promoted, valued and sold. As a craftsman and artist I found the book inspiring. Great book destroyed by horrible soap opera -ish reading!!! Great book destroyed by horrible soap opera -ish reading!!! Please re do with a normal reader. Wanted to like but too snarky and reductionist This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? Someone who doesn't like art and thinks art is silly How did the narrator detract from the book? Disliked the actor-y quality of the narrator's voice. She wasn't sophisticated. Any additional comments? Ultimately disappointing. informative, from several perspectives Sarah Thornton did a good job here of teaching us about the art world. With her "close up" accounts of real life events, she helped me better understand the goals and motivations of the myriad players in the value chain. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Supergods-Audiobook/B005DSGHKG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Supergods Subtitle: What Masked Vigilantes, Miraculous Mutants, and a Sun God from Smallville Can Teach Us About Being Human Author: Grant Morrison Narrator: John Lee Format: Unabridged Length: 16 hrs and 47 mins Language: English Release date: 07-22-11 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 547 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Visual Arts Publisher's Summary: From one of the most acclaimed and profound writers in the world of comics comes a thrilling and provocative exploration of humankind's great modern myth: the superhero. The first superhero comic ever published, Action Comics #1 in 1938, introduced the world to something both unprecedented and timeless: Superman, a caped god for the modern age. In a matter of years, the skies of the imaginary world were filled with strange mutants, aliens, and vigilantes: Batman, Wonder Woman, the Fantastic Four, Iron Man, and the X-Men - the list of names is as familiar as our own. In less than a century, they've gone from not existing at all to being everywhere we look: on our movie and television screens, in our videogames and dreams. But what are they trying to tell us? For Grant Morrison, arguably the greatest of contemporary chroniclers of the superworld, these heroes are powerful archetypes whose ongoing, decades-spanning story arcs reflect and predict the course of human existence: Through them we tell the story of ourselves, our troubled history, and our starry aspirations. In this exhilarating work of a lifetime, Morrison draws on art, science, mythology, and his own astonishing journeys through this shadow universe to provide the first true history of the superhero - why they matter, why they will always be with us, and what they tell us about who we are... and what we may yet become. "Grant Morrison is one of the great comics writers of all time. I wish I didn't have to compete with someone as good as him." Stan Lee Critic Reviews: "Morrison is ideally suited to the task of chronicling the glorious rise, fall, rise, fall and rise again of comic-book superheroes.... [T]his is as thorough an account of the superhero phenomenon as readers are likely to find, filled with unexpected insights and savvy pop-psych analysis - not to mention the authors accounts of his own drug-fueled trips to higher planes of existence, which add a colorful element.... [T]hose who dare enter will find the prose equivalent of a Morrison superhero tale: part perplexing, part weird, fully engrossing." (Kirkus) "When Mr. Morrison puts care into his close readings, his prose can soar: a philosophical passage in which he breaks ranks with writers he considers to be 'missionaries who attempted to impose their own values and preconceptions on cultures they considered inferior,' and identifies himself with anthropologists who 'surrendered themselves to foreign cultures' and 'werent afraid to go native or look foolish,' is among the books most engrossing sections." (The New York Times) With a languid and pontificating tone, John Lee narrates Morrisons long reflection on the history of comic booksFrom the birth of Superman to the contemporary comic book landscape, Morrison identifies some of the key moments within the world of comics and identifies how the publishers, mainstream culture, and historical events changed the way people think about comics today. Lees British accent and cool attitude work in unison to create an image of Morrison that resonates with his public personality.

Members Reviews: Very Good Narration Would you consider the audio edition of The Art of the Con to be better than the print version? Maybe..I wonder if the print version has pictures of the paintings it talks about... Even still, I think that if I were reading the print version, I wouldn't have finished it as quickly and probably wouldn't have read it as often. Listening probably made it more appealing. What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative? Honestly, it was overall just more interesting than I thought it would be. I wasn't sure exactly what the book would talk about, but it got very specific about some cool stories around art forgeries. Have you listened to any of Michael Johnsons other performances before? How does this one compare? I haven't but I like him in this. He has a good voice for nonfiction. He sounds smart..his voice reminds me of an actor but I can't put my finger on who exactly. Any additional comments? I got this for free in exchange for an honest review. Really Interesting! I picked up and looked at this book a few times in the stores but I just wasn't sure if it would hold my interest. So, when it was offered up for review purposes (this was provided to me by the publisher in exchange for an unbiased review, btw) I snatched it up! It was actually super intriguing and held my interest really well. I'm interested in art, but am certainly no expert, and I still found every thing easy to understand. It was kinda like a true crime book with less intense crimes - art forgery/fraud style! Very. interesting Wow, great book! I learned a lot about forgers,never knew how many ways people deceive to make money. Provenance is better. What would have made The Art of the Con better? Although the stories were interesting, the author did not succeed in placing us in the action. In that sense it was rather dry. How did the narrator detract from the book?

(Chicago Tribune) Members Reviews: A New Appreciation When you finish listening to this book, you will have a new found respect and admiration for dictionaries and the enduring characters who are responsible for creating them. Some complained that the book was nothing but a thesaurus of word origins. True, it starts out that way, but it definitely does not end that way. You are taken through decades of struggle, defeat and ultimate success. How the OED was ever completed was a miracle, but also a testament to the strength and endurance of the men who created it. Fascinating and touching This book is exactly as advertised, only much more so. You expect the brief outline of the English language, the history of early lexicography, but perhaps not the enthralling detail about the individual contributors to what would become the OED, not only the major editors, but the staff, and the immense number of reader volunteers who made the dictionary possible. At some point the author says something to the effect that the editors didn't care what the personal circumstances or characters of the volunteer contributors were, so long as they were competent, and for me the most moving aspect of this book was in the later chapters when some of these readers and contributors are described. At times, I was brought to tears by their stories. As presented here, the OED was a labour of love--paid sometimes, more often not--of many people, for some of whom their work on it seems to have acted as a kind of redemption in lives otherwise lost in frustration, obscurity, or madness. Well, I loved it. The author's humanistic outlook shines through every line, and furthermore he is a very pleasant reader! For everyone who has ever pondered entries in the OED and wondered (among other things) how they could ever have located and organized all those quotations before the age of the computer...this is the book for you. Not a bad history of the OED A very interesting listen with lots of information about the people involved in making the dictionary and a fair amount about the words that comprise it as well as some insights into the lexicographer's art. Aptly, Simon Winchester manages to wield a delightfully rich vocabulary in telling his history. Engaging-Try It! I bought this audio book because I love words but it was so much more than just a story of words. It was the story of a massive undertaking by fascinating people transcending 80 years which resulted in the English language having order for the first time. The plot contained protagonists and foils all with quirks and peccadilloes. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Identity-Unknown-Audiobook/B01N5WPKIB Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Identity Unknown Subtitle: Rediscovering Seven American Women Artists Author: Donna Seaman Narrator: Dina Pearlman Format: Unabridged Length: 18 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 02-14-17 Publisher: Audible Studios for Bloomsbury Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Visual Arts Publisher's Summary: Who hasn't wondered where - aside from Georgia O'Keeffe and Frida Kahlo - all the women artists are? In many art books, they've been marginalized with cold efficiency, summarily dismissed in the captions of group photographs with the phrase 'identity unknown' while each male is named. Donna Seaman brings to dazzling life seven of these forgotten artists, among the best of their day: Gertrude Abercrombie, with her dark, surreal paintings and friendships with Dizzy Gillespie and Sonny Rollins; Bay Area self-portraitist Joan Brown; Ree Morton, with her witty, oddly beautiful constructions; Loïs Mailou Jones of the Harlem Renaissance; Lenore Tawney, who combined weaving and sculpture when art and craft were considered mutually exclusive; Christina Ramberg, whose unsettling works drew on pop culture and advertising; and Louise Nevelson, an art-world superstar in her heyday but omitted from recent surveys of her era. These women fought to be treated the same as male artists, to be judged by their work, not their gender or appearance. In brilliant, compassionate prose, Seaman reveals what drove them, how they worked, and how they were perceived by others in a world where women were subjects - not makers - of art. Identity Unknown speaks to all women about their neglected place in history and the challenges they face to be taken as seriously as men no matter what their chosen field - and to all men interested in women's lives. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Donna Seaman) Tue, 14 Feb 2017 22:06:59 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Identity-Unknown-Audiobook/B01N5WPKIB thebookvoice.com 18:01:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Recommended A wonderful, well-written and beautifully-illustrated account of seven American women artists. Some, like Louise Nevelson, are fairly well-known. Others are well-known in the art world but less so among the rest of us. The best thing about the book is that, after reading several chapters, I forgot that they were "women artists" and began to see them as "artists." I am not an art historian, but I enjoy fine art of all kinds. I was gratified to see that the book has little of the impenetrable jargon that infects most writings about modern art. Forgetten Women Artists This book is about seven women artists that that the author feels have not gotten the attention they deserve. She begins the book with a treatise that women still face discrimination in the art world. These seven women however did not allow their gender to get in the way of their art. The tackled their art and the art world on their own terms. I was familiar with these seven artists but most will be new to casual readers. The author does a very good job with writing the biographies and describing their artwork. A lot of research has gone into this book. All seven women are very different. They are from different times, places and produce different artwork but all do deserve their place in history. I do wish there were more illustrations of the artwork in the book. Anyone interested in art or women's studies will enjoy reading this book. Enjoy Seaman's writing style is rather a lot like a long-form biographical article than an art critique Identity Unknown: Rediscovering Seven American Women Artists by Donna Seaman is a free NetGalley ebook that I read in late December (Boxing Day). Seaman's writing style is rather a lot like a long-form biographical article than an art critique, social humanities book, a work that upholds American feminism, or woman's non-fiction. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Provenance-Audiobook/B0032EZ5M4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Provenance Subtitle: How a Con Man and a Forger Rewrote the History of Modern Art Author: Laney Salisbury, Aly Sujo Narrator: Marty Peterson Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 59 mins Language: English Release date: 12-31-09 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 407 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Visual Arts Publisher's Summary: Here is a tautly paced investigation of one the 20th century's most audacious art frauds, which generated hundreds of forgeries - many of them still hanging in prominent museums and private collections today. Provenance is the extraordinary narrative of one of the most far-reaching and elaborate deceptions in art history. Investigative reporters Laney Salisbury and Aly Sujo brilliantly recount the tale of a great con man and unforgettable villain, John Drewe, and his sometimes unwitting accomplices. Chief among those was the struggling artist John Myatt, a vulnerable single father who was manipulated by Drewe into becoming a prolific art forger. Once Myatt had painted the pieces, the real fraud began. Drewe managed to infiltrate the archives of the upper echelons of the British art world in order to fake the provenance of Myatt's forged pieces, hoping to irrevocably legitimize the fakes while effectively rewriting art history. The story stretches from London to Paris to New York, from tony Manhattan art galleries to the esteemed Giacometti and Dubuffet associations, to the archives at the Tate Gallery. This enormous swindle resulted in the introduction of at least 200 forged paintings, some of them breathtakingly good and most of them selling for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Many of these fakes are still out in the world, considered genuine and hung prominently in private houses, large galleries, and prestigious museums. And the sacred archives, undermined by John Drewe, remain tainted to this day. Provenance reads like a well-plotted thriller, filled with unforgettable characters and told at a breakneck pace. But this is most certainly not fiction; Provenance is the meticulously researched and captivating account of one of the greatest cons in the history of art forgery. Critic Reviews: "Salisbury and Sujo (who died in 2008) evoke with flair the plush art world and its penetration by the seductive Drewe as well as the other players in this fascinating art drama."

(Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: reads like a thriller Terrific story behind a massive series of art swindles in the 1990's by a couple of somewhat talented gentlemen. The authors provide such great detail, you can feel as if you are looking over the shoulder of the swindler. Solid narration makes the audio book even more enjoyable. It reads like fiction GREAT! I LOVED IT! If only more non-fiction books were written in this style; it reads like a story. Brilliant. Its not dry and textbooky like most non-fiction books I have read (and thats a lot, just check my library). Most of the time non-fiction tends to be pretty dull, emotionless and little more than a long boring litany of: Fact. Fact. Date. Date. Fact. Date. Fact. You read it because you are interested in the information, but the presentation dulls your curiosity. Thats not the case for this book, thanks to the story-style-set-up, it held my attention the entire way though... I never once got bored, or felt lost, or was mired down in a well of names and dates. I was captivated from the beginning to the end. Kudos! Unbelievable, But Somehow Believable This story is an entertaining narrative of the unbelievable exploits of a consummate con artist. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/The-Unfinished-Palazzo-Audiobook/B0771R59W1 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: The Many Lives of Catwoman Subtitle: The Felonious History of a Feline Fatale Author: Tim Hanley Narrator: Rachel Dulude Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 43 mins Language: English Release date: 07-01-17 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Visual Arts Publisher's Summary: For more than 75 years, Catwoman has forged her own path in a clear-cut world of stalwart heroes, diabolical villains, and damsels in distress. Her relentless independence across comic books, television, and film set her apart from the rest of the superhero world. When female-led comics were few and far between, Catwoman headlined her own series for over 20 years. But her unique path had its downsides as well. Her existence on the periphery of the superhero world made her expendable, and she was prone to lengthy absences. Her villainous origins also made her susceptible to sexualized and degrading depictions from her primarily male creators in ways that most conventional heroines didn't face. For good and ill, Catwoman serves as a stark counterpart to the typical evolution of the history of women in comics, and in popular culture generally. Her adventures have charted an inimitably varied journey of empowerment and exploitation.

Title: The Many Lives of Catwoman Subtitle: The Felonious History of a Feline Fatale Author: Tim Hanley Narrator: Rachel Dulude Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 43 mins Language: English Release date: 07-01-17 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Visual Arts Publisher's Summary: For more than 75 years, Catwoman has forged her own path in a clear-cut world of stalwart heroes, diabolical villains, and damsels in distress. Her relentless independence across comic books, television, and film set her apart from the rest of the superhero world. When female-led comics were few and far between, Catwoman headlined her own series for over 20 years. But her unique path had its downsides as well. Her existence on the periphery of the superhero world made her expendable, and she was prone to lengthy absences. Her villainous origins also made her susceptible to sexualized and degrading depictions from her primarily male creators in ways that most conventional heroines didn't face. For good and ill, Catwoman serves as a stark counterpart to the typical evolution of the history of women in comics, and in popular culture generally. Her adventures have charted an inimitably varied journey of empowerment and exploitation.

A great insight by Tim Hanley into the ups and downs of one of comics stand out villain/anti heroes. Read nicely by Rachel Dulude. There are more than a few mispronunciations of comic book creators names in here, however I'm certain that is not the fault of Tim or Rachel and doesn't detract much from a great listen. Just bought Tims Wonder Woman audio book, if it's as enjoyable and interesting as this one I'll be very happy. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/A-Woman-Looking-at-Men-Looking-at-Women-Audiobook/B01LX6RS46 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: A Woman Looking at Men Looking at Women Subtitle: Essays on Art, Sex, and the Mind Author: Siri Hustvedt Narrator: Caitlin Thorburn Format: Unabridged Length: 23 hrs and 31 mins Language: English Release date: 12-01-16 Publisher: Sceptre Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Visual Arts Publisher's Summary: As well as being a prize-winning, best-selling novelist, Siri Hustvedt is widely regarded as a leading thinker in the fields of neurology, feminism, art criticism and philosophy. She believes passionately that art and science are too often kept separate and that conversations across disciplines are vital to increasing our knowledge of the human mind and body, how they connect and how we think, feel and see. The essays in this volume - all written between 2011 and 2015 - are in three parts. A Woman Looking at Men Looking at Women brings together penetrating pieces on particular artists and writers such as Picasso, Kiefer and Susan Sontag as well as essays investigating the biases that affect how we judge art, literature and the world in general. 'The Delusions of Certainty' is an essay about the mind/body problem, showing how this age-old philosophical puzzle has shaped contemporary debates on many subjects and how every discipline is coloured by what lies beyond argument - desire, belief and the imagination. The essays in the final section, 'What Are We? Lectures on the Human Condition', tackle such elusive neurological disorders as synesthesia and hysteria. Drawing on research in sociology, neurobiology, history, genetics, statistics, psychology and psychiatry, this section also contains a profound consideration of suicide and a towering reconsideration of Kierkegaard. Together they form an extremely stimulating, thoughtful, wide-ranging exploration of some of the fundamental questions about human beings and the human condition, delivered with Siri Hustvedt's customary lucidity, vivacity and infectiously questioning intelligence. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Siri Hustvedt) Thu, 01 Dec 2016 06:44:24 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/A-Woman-Looking-at-Men-Looking-at-Women-Audiobook/B01LX6RS46 thebookvoice.com 23:31:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A collection for committed and persistent readers, and engaged and curious minds In her introduction to A WOMAN LOOKING AT MEN LOOKING AT WOMEN, essayist and novelist Siri Hustvedt asks readers to think of this book as her âjourney back and forthâ across what she sees as the unfortunate chasm between the physical sciences and the humanities. Her own interest in both sides of this seeming divide, especially in the visual arts, literature, philosophy and neuroscience, is deep, and in this collection she tries to bridge it with a number of writings on provocative and challenging themes. With a diversity of examples and ideas, she explores gender, the meaning of art and the mind itself through lenses such as feminism and psychology. The book is divided into three large sections, though there is much overlap in subject matter and references. The first, âA Woman Looking at Men Looking at Women,â not only provides the title of the entire collection, but sets the tone and introduces readers to the kinds of questions Hustvedt is interested in, as well as several of the answers she offers. She begins with short essays on the visual arts, opening with an examination of perspective (visual and emotional) in the works of Picasso, Beckmann and de Kooning. âBalloon Magicâ looks at personal aesthetics and the value of visual art, starting with the sale of a Jeff Koons sculpture for over 58 million dollars. The third essay, âMy Louise Bourgeois,â is one of the stand-outs in the book, perhaps because the art of Bourgeois is so important to Hustvedt as a viewer, scholar and writer. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Strange-Tools-Audiobook/B01994MA7S Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Critic Reviews: "A searching and learned response to vexing, long-debated questions." ( Kirkus) Members Reviews: This is the thoughtful and inspiring explanation of art I've yet read I've in the past tried to describe art, my art, to friends as ineffable, as it's own shortest description; as a technique, like satori perhaps, to provoke the mind to experience the world anew. Art here is described as a critic of organisation and an encounter with the edges of ourselves and the way we're organised. Like a conjurer with a trick that takes us beyond what we understand of the world. However, once understood as it must be, Art, ages, and in it's varied forms will serve, at best, aesthetics, to provoke feeling, or to trace its own history, to entrench organisation without challenge, as illustrations remind or instruct us of what we know or might wish to know, didactically. Art's true function is not this, it is to expose rather than to instruct and this is satori, it is brief exhilarating moment and requires reorganisation, it is synthesis. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Thinking-Through-Film-Audiobook/B00CBXE03W Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: The racing narration is an impediment. Would you try another book from Damian Cox and Michael P. Levine and/or Allen O'Reilly? Yes. .if it were narrated by someone else Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Allen O'Reilly? The narration is so fast , so Manic as to make it incomprehensible Could you see Thinking Through Film being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be? Yes but with a different narrator and a slower pace. This narration is ridiculous and so fast the ideas begin to seem like gibberish. Any additional comments? I listen to a lot of audiobooks. This was the worst in terms of speed. Slow down! Enjoyed this exploration of film and philosophy. I normally listen on 1.25 speed which may be a little too fast for this book as the voice actor seemed to be in a hurry, even without the extra speed. The book talks about different schools of philosophy through about eight different movies or so, most of which I had seen. Philosophical books are much more enjoyable when philosophy is discussed and not preached. Cinephiles and nouveaux philosophers should enjoy this alike. I almost feel this book warrants multiple readings to absorb all the details. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Encounter-Audiobook/B00994OJ0K Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: the insights of kundera kunderaâs style reminds me of the work of montaigne, the man who contemplated and developed his opinions of what interested him into what, thanks to him, has become known as the essay. to begin with a thought, to jot down an insight while itâs fresh, thereâs a rawness about that, ripeness is not always all. with their kafkaesque sensibility and more accessible than nietzscheâs aphorisms, kunderaâs brief pieces do share such company. born in czechoslovakia, as a writer kundera experienced his country invaded by the soviets in 1968, a shock to the western world who watched the advent of some of the new art scene in 1964 at the worldâs fair in new york at the czechoslovakian pavilion. a published novelist, kundera settled in exile in france in 1975 where he continues to write. he purports to be a french writer writing of czech experiences. the thought central to his essays is the encounter of two cultures to form an identity or solidarity. in discussing the right of writers to choose their own forms, here are some of the authors, novels and observations subject of his essays: the spirit of the odd novel by rabelais is more meaningful in translation to czech readers than to contemporary french readers; the anti-novel, written by carlos fuentes and curzio malaparte, which kundera champions as the arch-novel; an insightful placing the fiction of philip roth, who continues to remind the press he is an american novelist who writes of jews and not a jewish novelist, within the literary history of sex and love in the novel; aime cesaire and other martinique born artists and the important encounter which occurred between them and the artists of the french surrealist movement; and of laughter, the different forms of laughter in a work by dostoievski and the right of the artist to depict laughter in a work under a harsh regime. other writings highlight musicians, beethoven, schoenberg, and xenakis, among them, and a psychological observation of a painting by francis bacon with a reflection of an incident told by kundera of an encounter with a friend, a woman, interrogated in czechoslovakia. his devotion to the freedom of the artist and defense of artistic form outside traditionally accepted notions of what a novel, in general, is expected to be, plot driven with characters engaged, is best expressed in his description of modernism as he refers to the novels by malaparte: ââthere are many great novels that, at their birth, are unlike the commonly held idea of the novel. And so? Isnât a great novel great precisely because it does not repeat what already existed? â And I find it significant that everything about THE SKINâS form that seems to contradict the very idea of the novel should also reflect the new climate in the aesthetic of the novel as it took shape in the twentieth century, in contrast to its norms in the century before. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Censoring-the-Body-Audiobook/B077VZQY8D Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

What did the plays mean to the public when they were first performed? In this fascinating series, Neil MacGregor attempts to answer these questions by examining 20 objects from that turbulent period. There are grand objects such as a communion chalice, a Venetian goblet, and Dr Dee's mirror, as well as everyday items such as a theatregoer's fork and an apprentice's cap. From Drake's circumnavigation medal to an eye relic, he uses these objects to explore the issues that shaped Shakespeare's plays, and considers what they reveal about the concerns and beliefs of Shakespearean England. Speaking to scholars, historians and experts, he discusses the topics raised - everything from exploration and discovery to violence, entertainment, and the plague. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Neil MacGregor) Thu, 21 Jun 2012 12:25:24 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Shakespeares-Restless-World-Audiobook/B008BT3JPK thebookvoice.com 04:32:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Everyday life in Elizabethan England I really enjoyed this Radio 4 production. I've always been interested in Tudor and Elizabethan times, and MacGregor's enthusiasm for Shakespeare's time shines in every episode. From the vexed question of whether to be Protestant or Catholic to the question of what to eat while you watched the play, so many aspects of everyday life are illuminated here. I loved the episode about Venice and the one about food. There wasn't a bad episode, and I highly recommend it to history lovers. Entertaining What made the experience of listening to Shakespeare's Restless World the most enjoyable? The narrators enthusiasm for the subject. Would you listen to another book narrated by Neil MacGregor? sure. Any additional comments? It seams like the audio was taken from a tv or radio show. It's very easy to listen to but not quite a smooth as if it were intended as an audiobook. The subject matter and presentation are very entertaining and the price is not bad either. Entertaining for the History aficionado Any additional comments? An engaging format, narrated in a laid-back manner. The object-to-history links are well presented, although some of the historical/sociological analisys is oversimplistic and harps on certain cliches. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Survival-of-the-Beautiful-Audiobook/B00BNKP7QS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Survival of the Beautiful Subtitle: Art, Science, and Evolution Author: David Rothenberg Narrator: Kris Koscheski Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 43 mins Language: English Release date: 03-09-13 Publisher: Audible Studios for Bloomsbury Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 18 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Visual Arts Publisher's Summary: "The peacock's tail," said Charles Darwin, "makes me sick." That's because the theory of evolution as adaptation can't explain why nature is so beautiful. It took the concept of sexual selection for Darwin to explain that, a process that has more to do with aesthetics than the practical. Survival of the Beautiful is a revolutionary new examination of the interplay of beauty, art, and culture in evolution. Taking inspiration from Darwin's observation that animals have a natural aesthetic sense, philosopher and musician David Rothenberg probes why animals, humans included, have innate appreciation for beauty - and why nature is, indeed, beautiful. Sexual selection may explain why animals desire, but it says very little about what they desire. Why will a bowerbird literally murder another bird to decorate its bower with the victim's blue feathers? Why do butterfly wings boast such brilliantly varied patterns? The beauty of nature is not arbitrary, even if random mutation has played a role in evolution. What can we learn from the amazing range of animal aesthetic behavior-about animals, and about ourselves? Listeners who enjoyed the best sellers The Art Instinct and The Mind's Eye will find Survival of the Beautiful an equally stimulating and profound exploration of art, science, and the creative impulse. biacuaduc@gmail.com (David Rothenberg) Sat, 09 Mar 2013 10:21:45 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Survival-of-the-Beautiful-Audiobook/B00BNKP7QS thebookvoice.com 09:43:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Not as interesting as I hoped The book sounds fascinating, unfortunately, it just didn't deliver. There seemed to be too much elaboration on the less interesting bits and not enough interesting bits. I just couldn't get into it enough to think much of the book. Clear, intelligent and enjoyable Would you consider the audio edition of Survival of the Beautiful to be better than the print version? Yes and No. I always prefer to listen than read, but It is harder to use an audio book as a reference source than a hard copy. What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative? Lots of ideas in this book and areas that you may want to look into further. What about Kris Koscheskis performance did you like? Clear and well modulated Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes, and again immediately after. Any additional comments? highly recommend to anyone interested in aesthetics. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/The-Architecture-of-Happiness-Audiobook/B00C3FMMGK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Architecture of Happiness Author: Alain de Botton Narrator: Nicholas Bell Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 11 mins Language: English Release date: 03-29-13 Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Visual Arts Publisher's Summary: One of the great, but often unmentioned, causes of both happiness and misery is the quality of our environment: the kind of walls, chairs, buildings, and streets were surrounded by. And yet a concern for architecture and design is too often described as frivolous, even self-indulgent. The Architecture of Happiness starts from the idea that where we are heavily influences who we can be - and argues that it is architectures task to stand as an eloquent reminder of our full potential. Whereas many architects are wary of openly discussing the word beauty, this audiobook has at its centre the large and naïve question: "What is a beautiful building?" It amounts to a tour through the philosophy and psychology of architecture, which aims to change the way we think about our homes, streets, and ourselves. Critic Reviews: "Just as de Botton has taken philosophy out of the academy and back into the realm of common sense and reflection, where it originally belonged, so he has taken discussion about the characteristics of architecture out of the professional journals, where issues of aesthetics are treated in a language that is wilfully abstruse, away from the offices of the developers and town planners, and back into the drawing room. There it behoves us all to think carefully, as de Botton has done with perceptive clarity, as to what exactly are the qualities that make a good building." (The Observer) "The Architecture of Happiness is full of splendid ideas, often happily and beautifully expressed." (The Independent) "With originality, verve, and wit, de Botton explains how we find reflections of our own values in the edifices we make. Altogether satisfying."

(San Francisco Chronicle) Members Reviews: Architectural must-read Botton captures the essence of why we build what we do and dives into the reasoning of where our most treasured landmarks come from. This is a must read for anyone connected with the field of architecture and certainly a page turner for those who wish to be. The writing is very well articulated but can get a little dense at times. Not bad, just a lot of information. I found it best to take this book section by section with periods of contemplation between allowing myself to digest the content better. In my opinion, this is not a book to pick up for a quick read and easy discard. There are some very well thought out concepts within these pages and it is well worth the time to read it more than once. This book has found a place on my small shelf of essential reading. Insightful and entertaining Wonderful! A book that is a joy to read if you are a lover of architecture and vital to read if you don't understand it. Architecture of Sadness It was a phenomenal book, really worked to reposition my thought process on designing architecture. Too bad it (and a bunch of other stuff) was stolen in China and I was unable to finish the last bunch of pages. I hope someone there enjoys it as much as I was thought provoking de Botton always writes dense thought provoking reviews often on things we know about but don't ruminate about. So it was with his Proust book. Of course since Lehrer has told us that Proust was a neuroscientist Proust is now more widely mentioned, though probably not read. One would need to take to his bed.... https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Reason-in-Art-Audiobook/B0098NS9TO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Sensationally articulate: Pure intellectual oxygen If you could sum up Reason in Art in three words, what would they be? Santayana holds both subject and reader with respect, expecting to be followed into the deepest depths of good sense. What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative? A dense and intense capacity for clarity. You have to stop, occasionally just to absorb properly revelation after revelation. What does Bernard Mayes bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? I would have liked an american accent, since Santayana considered himself an american intellectual, notwithstanding his love of Oxford where he was a student for a year. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Chapet 8 and 9 Any additional comments? We need more visual art criticism, artists can listen while they work psychology of art Not what I expected but still a decent philosophical read on why art is important. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/The-Prettiest-Girl-on-Stage-Is-a-Man-Audiobook/B01I5HQYMW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Prettiest Girl on Stage Is a Man Subtitle: Race and Gender Benders in American Vaudeville Author: Kathleen B. Casey Narrator: Lee Ann Howlett Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 28 mins Language: English Release date: 07-11-16 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Visual Arts Publisher's Summary: In this lively and enlightening study, Kathleen B. Casey explores the ways in which the gender- and race-bending spectacles of vaudeville dramatized the economic, technological, social, and cultural upheaval that gripped the United States in the early 20th century. She focuses on four key performers. Eva Tanguay, known as "The I Don't Care Girl", was loved for her defiance of Victorian decorum, linking white womanliness to animalistic savagery at a time when racial and gender ideologies were undergoing significant reconstruction. In contrast, Julian Eltinge, the era's foremost female impersonator, used race to exaggerate notions of manliness and femininity in a way that reinforced traditional norms more than it undermined them. Lillyn Brown, a biracial woman who portrayed a cosmopolitan black male dandy while singing about an antebellum southern past, offered her audiences, black and white, starkly different visual and aural messages about race and gender. Finally, Sophie Tucker, who often performed in blackface during the early years of her long and heralded career, strategically played with prevailing ideologies by alternately portraying herself as white, Jewish, black, manly, and womanly, while managing, remarkably, to convince audiences that these identities could coexist within one body.

The book is published by The University of Tennessee Press. Members Reviews: Both book and narrator are first rate! I enjoyed this book very much. It is published by The University of Tennessee Press, so that was a plus for me since my blood runs deep orange. Then it turned out to be even more interesting than I had hoped. Casey covers Vaudeville from around 1912 through the early to mid 20's. Specifically, the book covers how male and female impersonators and Vaudevillians of color were perceived. I learned quite a bit from the book. Lee Ann Howlett is the narrator, and she does a wonderful job. Of course, since this is non-fiction history there are no voices to perform, but after listening to this book for over seven hours, I can honestly say that her voice just seems right for this book. I can see myself listening to more of her books in the future. Don't know how she would with fiction, but her non-fiction is wonderful. I received this book from the narrator in exchange for an honest review. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Philosophy-of-the-Performing-Arts-Audiobook/B00CBVEQ56 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Although there are a number of books investigating mental illness and creativity, there are very few that concentrate on physical illness - cancer, HIV, tuberculosis and disabilities caused by accidents. Incapacity provides time for contemplation and creativity, yet pain and discomfort detract from inspiration.

Title: Reality Hunger Subtitle: A Manifesto Author: David Shields Narrator: Peter Marinker Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 41 mins Language: English Release date: 06-24-11 Publisher: Penguin Books Ltd Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Visual Arts Publisher's Summary: Reality Hunger is a manifesto for a burgeoning group of interrelated but unconnected artists who, living in an unbearably artificial world, are breaking ever larger chunks of 'reality' into their work. The questions Shields explores - the bending of form and genre, the lure and blur of the real - play out constantly around us, and Reality Hunger is a radical reframing of how we might think about this 'truthiness'. Reality Hunger questions every assumption we ever made about art, the novel, journalism, poetry, film, TV, rap, stand-up, graffiti, sampling, plagiarism, writing, and reading. Drawing on myriad stances, David Shields seeks to tear up the old culture in search of something new and more authentic. Critic Reviews: "A rare and very peculiar thing: a wake-up call that is a pleasure to hear and respond to. A daring combination of montage and essay, it's crammed full of good things." (Geoff Dyer) "I've just finished reading Reality Hunger and I'm lit up by it - astonished, intoxicated, ecstatic, overwhelmed." (Jonathan Lethem) "Bold, entertaining, contentious. Essential reading for readers and writers." (Guardian) "Weird, exciting, incendiary."

(Dazed and Confused) Members Reviews: Required Reading This should be required reading for every person who aspires to be creative in today's world. Yeah I get it, but..... I know this is an incredible piece of work in terms of what is says and how it says it, however I did find it a bit repetitive and a little bit of hard going in places. Read it if you have an interest in Current Fiction and possible ways forward A Major & Necessary Workout For Your Mind Life is moving and changing fast, as are all its cultural markers, I find myself finally learning all there is to learn about a form, be it literary or electronic, only to have it become passe the next day. But why is it gone, replaced so quickly? Is novelty so necessary these days as to be all that's important? Are we so distracted, that if what's before our eyes isn't changed and replaced daily we'll fall asleep from boredom? But what nourishes us in our deepest parts and where must we go to find today's nectar? There is no where Shields doesn't go and delve into in his exploration of our culture's current hunger for more. This is an exciting book that skits around so many topics as to make your eyes cross, but also think and think again, and then again This book is having a tough-assed trainer for your mind. It gives you a major workout, and you come away expanded and exhilarated. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys thinking, really thinking, about how they live. Amazing view of the future with 1984 esque predictions (that came true) I especially like his commentary on books and media and how the access is changing. I don't want to spoil it, but there's alot of great reading here. Thought provoking Sure this book encourages plagiarism, but I think there are some points that are worth thinking about. Read it and decide. This is not one to pass up just because of a good or bad review. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Globish-Audiobook/B005OSNMD0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: That was a good book Listening to this book was such a pleasure! The writer told the obvious but yet beautifully as he told the story for how English became dominant in the world with the help of different factors such as globalization. This book is linguistically, economically, historically rich as it talks the reader to from a field of knowledge to another in a beautiful attempt to retell the story of English language. Wonderful A really well read book. It was such an interesting journey of communication. Quite enlightening too. OK, but... This book is an interesting listen, but there is a lot of padding. I couldn't figure out for instance how the Gettysburg address ( quoted in full) contributed to English becoming the world's favourite language. You also get a potted history of Britain, only some of which seems relevant to the books premise. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Die-Beatles-und-die-Philosophie-Audiobook/B00U07G7LO Hören Sie sich dieses volle Hörbuch kostenlos bei https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> Titel: Die Beatles und die Philosophie Autor:: Michael Baur, Steve Baur Erzähler: Heike Makatsch Format: Abridged Spieldauer: 4 hrs and 38 mins Sprache: Deutsch Veröffentlichungsdatum: 06-16-10 Herausgeber: Lübbe Audio Kategorien: Arts & Entertainment, Visual Arts Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers: "Take a sad song and make it better": Die Beatles erkennen - gut aristotelisch - die Wirklichkeit, wie sie ist und verwandeln sie in unsterbliche Songs.

Good for someone who doesn't have much business know how, but leaving more to be desired as far as the actual real life networking part goes in a photography business. Short and the point . Now if I can make $ with these suggestions. All sounds so easy until you found out it is a job! Meaning expect to work and not have money fall off the tree The narrator is literally retard do not buy The narrator is literally retard do not buy. Worse than a bad YouTube video. Word Good common sense strategies and advice. Other than the introduction this book was short, sweet and to the point. i would recommend it. Expected more. Was a bit disappointed as it didn't tell me anything that I didn't already know. Also mistakes in the audio like DSLR pronounced as DLSR should not be in a book that's up for sale. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Photography-Business-3-Manuscripts-Audiobook/B01N4G25BJ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Ive seen captivating photos every now and then and it has stirred something in me. And though Im not in the stage where I want to be in a photography biz, Im slowly getting there with the help of this concise audio guide. From the basics to the moderate details, it has neatly shared them all to me. And these manuscripts wont only be useful now, but in the future as well. This is good to know info for me! Would you consider the audio edition of Photography Business: 3 Manuscripts to be better than the print version? Yes. Who was your favorite character and why? n/a Which character as performed by Terrence Wood was your favorite? n/a If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? The in demand Real Estate Photography Business! Any additional comments? This is a good to know information for me! This book will walk you through all sorts of photography business scenarios of R.E. (Real Estate) Business. Helps you understand what to put and for you to have a business plan and what to know about and much more! This will make you become your own boss in near future. These is more than just a shooting photos! A good business. Any additional comments? I looked at the internet for simple tips and tricks that I can apply on my camera. I saw this book while looking for guides in photography. I learned that this kind of business is a little expensive based on this book but it is a good investment someday. This book taught what to do and what I need in this kind of business. The step-by-step are not clear to me and I think it needed examples on every step. Good for beginners. Any additional comments? I purchased this book for my best friend who is an amazing photographer and I think she should really start making money from this. While selling stock photos is a good income source there are a number of other possibilities and good ways to make a living like a photographer. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Take-a-Leap-of-Faith-and-Start-a-Photography-Business-Audiobook/B01DQ13ESO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Take a Leap of Faith and Start a Photography Business Subtitle: A Beginner's Guide to Starting a Successful Business as a Photographer Author: Russell Davis Narrator: Dave Wright Format: Unabridged Length: 51 mins Language: English Release date: 04-04-16 Publisher: Terrence Wood Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 18 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Visual Arts Publisher's Summary: This book will guide you in starting your own photography business; it's truly an advantage if you are a photographer by profession, but if not, it doesn't mean that you could not open your own business. I can help you get the ball rolling. Despite the fact that people now own smartphones with great cameras, nothing can beat the skill of professional photographers - they just know the nuts and bolts of taking photos, editing, and printing. They know about the correct angles, the right amount of light, and even the appropriate gestures and expressions. These are just some of the reasons why I'd personally hire a photographer for special events rather than let all the guests or participants take their own photos. Photography services are just more organized and more effective, and they give better-looking images that you can proudly post online. Collectively, this is the reason why photography businesses are in demand. I know that starting a photography business - any business, in fact - is not a walk in the park. It's also not roses and rainbows; there will be difficulties along the way, and maybe at one point you might even think of quitting. Lower your chances of being discouraged by being equipped - one way to do that is to listen to, savor, and finish this book.

Here are a few things you will learn from this book: Members Reviews: thank you! i was excited to listen to this. I wish it were a little long and a bit more detailed but I deffinetly liked it Incredibly useful book! Who was your favorite character and why? N/A Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? It's one thing to be able to take great photos but to be able to turn it into your career requires another skill set. This book gives a good road map to start a photography career. Any additional comments? Incredibly useful book! In the modern world is not enough to be good at taking photos, still need to be able to sell their work and to build on this business. This book will teach to turn your hobby into a profitable business. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED I was surprised to find out that not only does this book define terminology related to cameras and technology, but it also covers sales tax and LLC so you get a good idea of running an actual business, not just doing freelance work. This book is basically a guide for beginners who is new in this profession or for those who take photograph. I highly recommend this book for anyone in the business or thinking of getting into the business. Take a Leap of Faith and Start a Photography busi, This book is really great because it gives all the steps you need to start your own business, and good tips for the type of equipment you need and in some cases the costs of it, so you can have from the start a pretty good idea how much your investment can be for this business. Well done! I recommended this awesome book! Any additional comments? I recommend this book to anyone who is getting into photography or may want to learn to get more out of their photography. Be warned however that if you buy or want to buy some of the gear suggested on the book it could cost you a pretty penny. If you want a straight forward photography book. This is it. It's the best photography book I ever had. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Creativity-Inc-Audiobook/B00IT60O6M Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

He nurtured that dream first as a Ph.D. student at the University of Utah, where many computer science pioneers got their start, and then forged an early partnership with George Lucas that led, indirectly, to his founding Pixar with Steve Jobs and John Lasseter in 1986. Nine years later and against all odds, Toy Story was released, changing animation forever. Since then, Pixar has dominated the world of animation, producing such beloved films as Monsters, Inc, Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Up, and WALL-E, which have gone on to set box-office records and garner twenty-seven Academy Awards. The joyousness of the storytelling, the inventive plots, the emotional authenticity: In some ways, Pixar movies are an object lesson in what creativity really is. Now, in this book, Catmull reveals the ideals and techniques, honed over years, that have made Pixar so widely admiredand so profitable. Creativity, Inc. is a book for managers who want to lead their employees to new heights, a manual for anyone who strives for originality, and the first-ever, all-access trip into the nerve center of Pixar Animation Studiosinto the story meetings, the postmortems, and the Braintrust sessions where art is born.

Members Reviews: inspirational Result of give freedom to creative people. how passion drive people to achieve greatness. awesome book. Good read for the corporate leader There isn't much "new" thinking in this book, but I would highly recommend it for the leader in a corporate environment. amazing book that span from leadership and all love it it's really deep. it covers what film school can't teach and if I were to put it in one word it's invaluable not to read our if for nothing but the Amazing experience Insightful, enjoyable, actionable takeaways. I got this book because I'm always trying to improve my creative thinking and output. As well as gathering effective ways of managing a creative team. This book delivers in every aspect. Without being dry and rigid, the information is passed across through stories that are entertaining and sometimes very touching. Facinating read on many levels I loved the structure of the book & hearing about the history of Pixar. But most importantly I enjoyed Eds insights about creating & sustaining a healthy work environment, where people feel comfortable enough to be candid was fascinating. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/The-Art-of-the-Deal-Audiobook/B004J6G16I Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Art of the Deal Subtitle: Contemporary Art in a Global Financial Market Author: Noah Horowitz Narrator: Ken Kliban Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 53 mins Language: English Release date: 01-23-11 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 39 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Visual Arts Publisher's Summary: Art today is defined by its relationship to money as never before. Prices of living artists' works have been driven to unprecedented heights, conventional boundaries within the art world have collapsed, and artists now think ever more strategically about how to advance their careers. Artists no longer simply make art, but package, sell, and brand it. Noah Horowitz exposes the inner workings of the contemporary art market, explaining how this unique economy came to be, how it works, and where it's headed. He takes a unique look at the globalization of the art world and the changing face of the business, offering the clearest analysis yet of how investors speculate in the market and how emerging art forms, such as video and installation, have been drawn into the commercial sphere. By carefully examining these developments against the backdrop of the deflation of the contemporary art bubble in 2008, Art of the Deal is a must-listen book that demystifies collecting and investing in today's art market. Critic Reviews: "In recent decades, the world of contemporary art has developed into a global business. To fully grasp how this has changed the art world and our relationship to art, we need a thorough analysis of the financial forces involved. The best place to start is this groundbreaking study by Noah Horowitz, which, leaving the common chitchat about art and money to others, takes the discussion to a more fundamental level." (Daniel Birnbaum, director, Moderna Museet, Stockholm, and curator of the 2009 Venice Biennale) "This book is extremely stimulating and thoroughly enjoyable. Horowitz brings deep insight to his analysis, and he weaves in beautiful historical examples. His discussion of front- and backroom business by dealers, loss leaders, and profit makers is telling. Think about the art world using his concepts. Your views will change." (Richard J. Zeckhauser, Frank P. Ramsey Professor of Political Economy, John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University) " Art of the Deal is cogently argued, thoroughly researched, and richly documented. It is also, to my knowledge, highly original, and not only in its subject matter - giving a textured financial analysis of contemporary art, in all its market manifestations - but in the rigor of its financial analysis. I don't know of another book like it in the field."

However it is written in such an unbearable thesis paper like fashion. Explaining everything down to detail like a instructional manual, like the difference between film and video. Disappointed. It's like listening to a robot Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? The worst audible experience so far. Trying to get through this one but the narration is so poor that it's like listening to a robot. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Inside-the-Business-of-Graphic-Design-Audiobook/B00BAY86VK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Outta Time This book is an analytical & anecdotal look at the design business that is in a dire need of an update (It's over a decade out of date). I was personally looking forward to listening to this, I like books about design in general. However with this book's focus being on the business side (some information is still relevant today) with anecdotes from those 60 leaders, the value of the business information has diminished immensely. It was an average book, got some nice insights out of it but overall it is antiquated. Broad overview of 60 companies As the leader of a small design firm, this book was helpful in giving context across a broad range of categories of design firms. Next, I'd like to read one that goes a little bit deeper into the daily activities that the smartest design firms use to work most efficiently. out of date I picked up this audible book with the hope of gaining some insight on design and running a design firm while the case is referenced in the book are valid cases the data is out of date for 2016 Good for Designers, Freelancers, and Owners Would you listen to Inside the Business of Graphic Design again? Why? I would keep this book as a reference. This is a good book for those who are considering going into business for themselves in this industry. I also think there are several lessons to be learned from those that have come before. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? I wanted to listen to this book all in one sitting, but it's simply too long. I found it far more helpful to bookmark places and to listen as I was running errands, doing housework, or during leisure time. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Stock-Photography-for-Beginners-Audiobook/B01N7W6Y4K Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Basic Information Not really a how-to book here. The author writes in a friendly and persuasive style to convince a photographer he or she can and should try stock photography. He provides basic tips to start. They are generic in nature and can apply too almost every stock agency. Know that each stock agency has their own specific photographic requirements for submission and the photographer needs to review in detail the agency's requirements before submitting your first portfolio for consideration. Very basic ideas I wish this book went more in-depth on the "how to" part since its that kind of book.

Members Reviews: Outdated and not about photography This book explains the basics of setting up a business, but has very little to do with photography in particular. The first chapters do talk about the types of photography businesses and has some hints for marketing them, but from what I've heard from photographers his advice will lead you to fail before you start. The chapters on business are also horribly outdated and you could find more and better information for free in blog posts today. For what it's worth, I did enjoy his book on composition (having no previous knowledge), it's only this book in particular I didn't like. Very informative book I enjoyed this book because it given me things to think about as I structure my business plan. This book focused on some key details that addressed the long term success of start photography as a business. I wish the book given so formulas on developing a pricing list. A++ AN ALL IN ONE PERFECT GUIDE I really can't thank you enough for writing this book. It was short and to the point and is a perfect step by step guide. So perfect that it will be easy to go back and refresh on the information as needed. It like having a simple note book/cheat sheet in my pocket. Thank you. Great book for starters This book gave me good ideas on what to do for the start up of my business.

You're not looking for a book review, you already know it's a classic. You already know this is the most original, and one of the best, and best-written horror stories in literature. You may or may not like the story, but that's a matter of personal taste. A lot of people don't like Shakespeare, but no one questions whether he was a good writer or not. If you don't like the writing style, it's because you aren't familiar with the English of this period. Nearly eighty years before Stoker's "Dracula" ( an idea stolen from Polidori's "The Vampyre", which was an idea stolen from LeFanu's "Carmilla"), this most-original horror masterpiece was born. So, your only question is, "Is this really the uncensored 1818 version? Because I've only seen one other verified version, and it's over twenty dollars in paperback. All the others claiming to be the 1818 version have been disproved." YES, as far as I can tell, it is. The only preface is Shelley's own original. There is no introduction, no commentary or editorial credits whatsoever. There are no illustrations, and the spelling and language have not been edited. Have a good thesaurus handy. So, here it is, the author's original script, no frills, for a bargain price. Which is exactly what I was looking for. Not what the movies would have you believe... I never saw an entire Frankenstein film, only fragments here and there, but those left me with an impression that is far from the essence of Mary Shelley's book, Frankenstein. For one, Frankenstein is not even the name of the monster; it is the name of the man, Victor Frankenstein, who created the monster. But that is minor. The true surprise was how many issues relevant to today this book brings up--obligation to family; personal responsibility; fate; how far can science ethically go; does man have a right to create life; what is our responsibility for life we've created--these are a few intriguing questions raised. I enjoyed the book, but better than the book was the discussion I participated in with a group of friends; it was definitely one of the best I've ever been involved in. This is a great book to read with a friend or two who will discuss it with you. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Bleak-House-Audiobook/B003Y8IG38 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Marielle Frostrup, BBC Radio 4, Open Book) Members Reviews: Five Stars Great story, great cast of characters, I plan on looking at it again, love these kinds of good stories. I can see why this was Charles Dickens personal favorite. I find the Kindle to be the perfect way to connect with the age old classics (especially when used in the text to speech mode). In this story young David starts his life six months after the death of his father. His mother is of good character who unfortunately falls under the spell of the charms of a harsh man Murdstone who has an equally despicable sister. Young David is then forced from his home, loving mother and faithful nurse when he is sent first to a harsh boarding school and then to factory work in London. Despite this ill treatment as well as many others, Copperfield remains good nurtured. Dickens always wrote well rounded characters who often encountered true to life difficulty and abuse from those serving their own bent. Often these characters will meet their just deserts by the stories end. How the main characters learn from these trials is something lacking from much of today's fiction. Beautiful, flawed Over long by about 70000 words, David Copperfield nonetheless packs a number of punches along the way. Best line in the book: 'Janet! Donkeys!' Funny, exciting, heartbreaking, plodding, boring, thrilling -- this is the stuff of life in all it's facets. No quibbles. This is a wonderful version of the novel. A beautiful filmed telling of this brilliant novel, possibly the best by Dickens thanks to its many believable characters (the flat vs. round discussion aside) and slowly building, suspenseful plot that manages to be both tragic and comic. Armstrong is perfect as Lady Dedlock, but Esther and Jarndyce and Guppy and Woodcourt and Miss Flyte etc. are also exactly as imagined! If you haven't already watched *all* of this rendition of Bleak House, we are jealous that you have it ahead of you! A timeless classic David Copperfield is a narrative piece written in the voice of an autobiography that takes you on a colorful journey with the title character, beginning with his harrowing birth and childhood. He instantly attaches you to himself by his earnestness and genuine nature. The fascinating characters that surround his story keep the reader enganged throughout the tale. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/VangoNotes-for-Jansons-History-of-Art-7-e-Audiobook/B003NH6524 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

In this masterful work, listeners will encounter Members Reviews: Wonderful Review of Renaissance Italy This is the fifth book of Durants excellent History of Civilization series. See my review of the first volume for comments on the series as a whole. This volume does not cover all of, or only, the Renaissance, but instead covers Italy from 1304-1576 AD. Not to worry, Volume VI covers the same period in the rest of Europe. Durant presents an integrated history, which does not focus on dates, but upon the themes of history and the totality of each period including the daily life, the arts, the crafts, the politics and the ideas. This volume covers a few well known artists and popes and other characters of the Italian Renaissance, but also much more. After a brief framing of the period, the history of each major city or region is covered along with the art and artists, politics and leaders, and people and life, then each pope of the period is covered along with the politics and art of their pontificate. Finally the transition between the Renaissance and the reformation is described. I liked this series quite a bit, and would not recommend skipping this volume. This is not the best of the series, but is interesting never the less. I had read and listened to this volume before, yet I still learned things I had forgotten or did not previously absorb, and more importantly, I enjoyed every minute of the 37 hours. Panoramic View of the Italian Renaissance This installment reflects the usual qualities of this series: Durant's lucid, witty and colorful prose style; his insightful (and sometimes quirky) opinions; his history in the round approach which blends art, religion, politics, literature, etc. to shine light on each other. The main potential drawback of this volume is that a period intensely visual is being listened to as an audiobook. Even the book had only a small selection of the works discussed displayed in black and white photos of limited resolution. However, this defect is easily remedied nowadays by searching online for the artworks in question. I would never say that the Durants' work should be the last word on any period. But when I read other more current volumes, it is always with far more understanding because of my exposure to the their Story of Civilization. Worth every minute I bought this book before my 3rd trip to Italy. I honestly thought I'd only listen to some of it. I listened to the entire 35 hours and learned more than I've learned from any book since college. I listened to many chapters twice so I could retain the information or synthesize what I was learning with what I already knew. The reader is excellent and the writing is thoughtful, analytical but also surprisingly entertaining. Anyone who loves history and wants to get a grand overview of this remarkable time in history should read this book. History. I am running out of ways to praise this series of books. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Slugfest-Audiobook/B0763TVJ7W Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Slugfest Subtitle: Inside the Epic, 50-Year Battle Between Marvel and DC Author: Reed Tucker Narrator: Will Collyer Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 43 mins Language: English Release date: 10-03-17 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 33 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Visual Arts Publisher's Summary: The first in-depth, behind the scenes book treatment of the rivalry between the two comic book giants. They are the two titans of the comic book industry - the Coke and Pepsi of superheroes - and for more than 50 years, Marvel and DC have been locked in an epic battle for spandex supremacy. At stake is not just sales but cultural relevancy and the hearts of millions of fans. To many partisans Marvel is now on top. But for much of the early 20th century, it was DC that was the undisputed leader, having launched the American superhero genre with the 1938 publication of Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel's Superman strip. DC's titles sold millions of copies every year, and its iconic characters were familiar to nearly everyone in America. Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman - DC had them all. And then in 1961, an upstart company came out of nowhere to smack mighty DC in the chops. With the publication of Fantastic Four number one, Marvel changed the way superheroes stories were done. Writer-editor Stan Lee, artist Jack Kirby, and the talented Marvel bullpen subsequently unleashed a string of dazzling new creations, including the Avengers, Hulk, Spider-Man, the X-Men, and Iron Man. Marvel's rise forever split fandom into two opposing tribes. Suddenly the most telling question you could ask a superhero lover became "Marvel or DC?" Slugfest, the first book to chronicle the history of this epic rivalry into a single, in-depth narrative, is the story of the greatest corporate rivalry never told. Complete with interviews with the major names in the industry, Slugfest reveals the arsenal of schemes the two companies have employed in their attempts to outmaneuver the competition, whether it be stealing ideas, poaching employees, planting spies, or launching price wars. The feud has never completely disappeared, and it simmers on a low boil to this day. With DC and Marvel characters becoming global icons worth billions, if anything, the stakes are higher now than ever before.

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 247 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Visual Arts Publisher's Summary: In 1508, despite strong advice to the contrary, the powerful Pope Julius II commissioned Michelangelo Buonarroti to paint the ceiling of the newly restored Sistine Chapel in Rome. During the four extraordinary years that Michelangelo spent laboring over the 12,000 square foot ceiling, power politics and personal rivalries swirled around him. He battled ill health, financial and family difficulties, inadequate knowledge of the art of fresco, and the Pope's impatience - a history that is more compelling than most novels. The author presents a magnificent tapestry of day-to-day life for the artist, the upheaval of early 16th-century Italy, as well as uncommon insight into the intersection of art and history. In the end, Michelangelo produced one of the world's most renowned artistic wonders.

I became so engrossed with the details of Michelangelo's struggle to paint the Sistine Chapel that I bought an illustrated book and studied the paintings as I listened, following Michelangelo's four-year trek across the ceiling from one end to the other. Fascinating. Fantastic I bought this book because we're headed to Rome soon, and I wanted some background on what's considered to be one of the high water marks of artistic acheivement. Absolutely fascinating. As 1 other reviewer mentioned, it would be a good idea to have recent full-color photos of the chapel to refer to while listening. It was amazing to realize that Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel while the Church was at war with the Venitians, the French, and various other city-states in Italy. This book will definately enhance our upcoming visit. sistine chapel I really enjoyed this book, as a historic novel it was well written and enjoyable. It made me want to go back to Italy to see the Sistine chapel again!! History Comes Alive As another reviewer wrote, I wanted some background on some of the sites we plan to visit soon. I highly recommend this book for travelers to Rome and also those who enjoy historical drama. A fascinating account of art, religion, politics, family, and war. The narration was suberb. Ok book, very accessible. Narrator is mismatched The book is a good essay on the chapel project with in depth coverage of the work itself, Michelangelo's personal life as well as interesting digressions on contemporary events. I got this book because I really (!) liked "Judgment of Paris" and like this one less. For one it is the earlier of the two and the rivalry plot is not as well fleshed out. The other because the narrator is mismatched with the text. I heard him read a XIX c. sailing memoir and his swagger was appropriate. But it brings an odd note of infantilism to this work. Anyway, the narrator is not that big of a deal in any case. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/The-History-of-Western-Art-Audiobook/B00685EENA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: ART Peter Whitfield offers a whirlwind tour of The History of Western Art. He begins with cave paintings and ends with performance art by an artist locked in a library with a wild animal. The distressing thought is that art is anything you can get away with. In slightly more than five hours of narration, a listener traverses 30,000 years (some say 40,000 years) of art history. Whitfield is a poet and critic. The History of Art is an intelligent introduction to a mystifying, fascinating, and intimidating subject. At the end, one wonders whether art is entering a new dark age where the value of art is degraded by technology that makes too much of medium as message. Art needs to be more than a transaction between willing seller and buyer. A whirlwind tour of Western art I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wishes to refresh their previous study of art history, as well as to students who need a concise introduction. Tourists can benefit from the book also: it is a valuable adjunct to European museum visits and city walks. Whitfield takes us on a whirlwind tour of major artistic themes and styles, mostly European, from cave paintings to the edge of postmodernism. Comberti's reading is pleasant and well-paced. The only thing that's missing: the paintings themselves. Having a visual art reference on hand is recommended. I'm an artist, so the subject fascinates me. But I believe anyone can benefit from reading this accessible guide, free from pretentious "art speak." Superbly Written Would you consider the audio edition of The History of Western Art to be better than the print version? Peter Whitfield has a deep understanding of art history and manages to communicate it undiluted without pretence. Some of his observations are stunning, and always concise. The other art history university textbooks I've read are watered down and politically bent, but Whitfield just states it like it is with utter virtuosity. His sentences are art.The narration is good, I'm cherishing listening to this. What was one of the most memorable moments of The History of Western Art? The Renaissance AWESOME ART The author puts art and history together. Easy to listen to and understand.I found I was researching artists and works as the narrative continued. Of course there will be some gaps -- but overall pretty cool. Good story. Not boring. An overall good book. The narrator is very nice and has a good voice, clear and enjoyable. The story is not boring and covers a lot of examples and famous painters. I would recommend, although I think it's a superficial reading on the subject as it doesn't explain in details some transitions and basic concepts. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/The-Judgment-of-Paris-Audiobook/B002V5CUZU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Out of the most fascinating story of their parallel lives, illuminated by their legendary supporters and critics, King recalls a seminal period when Paris was the artistic center of the world, and a revolutionary art movement had the power to electrify and divide a nation.

Out of the most fascinating story of their parallel lives, illuminated by their legendary supporters and critics, King recalls a seminal period when Paris was the artistic center of the world, and a revolutionary art movement had the power to electrify and divide a nation.

(Booklist) Members Reviews: A marvelous book Is this book for you? Yes, if you are an artist or have an interest in European cultural history. Ross King certainly made an entire era come alive for me. It was fascinating to learn about the emotions and politics behind so many great paintings. Above all else, the author showed me how culture shapes our understanding of beauty and artistic achievement. Additionally, the reader of this book gave an animated and engaging performance. Highly recommended. Try this! This was my first experience with Ross King, and after "Judgment of Paris" I am hungry to read more of his work. I thought it was a very enjoyable and entertaining "listen". Unlike some of the previous reviewers, I don't speak French, and so, was not disturbed by the reader's poor pronunciation. I listened to most of the book at my computer, which allowed me to search the web for most of the pictures mentioned in the story. This capability made the book an interesting interactive experience. All in all it was a great audio experience that I would recommend to anyone interested in art, art history, or just a good story. TRANSITION, WAR, AND REBELLION The Judgment of Paris offers a story of rebellion and art's transition from classic to impressionistic realism. Art's transition takes place in the context of war. Though Ross Kings book is largely about an art movement, it is also about Frances transition from monarchy to republic. King shows that art and history are judged by Paris events. King cleverly melds the transition of art with transition in politics in "The Judgment of Paris". Change is shown to be a hard; with unpredictable consequence. Consequence of change is measured by time and recorded history. Change of minds and alliances inch society closer to something different; both in art and politics. History records the value of the difference. Excellent for Serious Art Lovers This is an excellent exploration of the political, social and artistic background that led to the birth of Impressionism. It is a very detailed, in-depth look at the artists Manet and Meissonier, their work and how that work both exemplified and defied the artistic trends and political environment of 19th century Paris - the crucial time period that both shaped and changed the art world. This is not a book for the casual art observer, but an in-depth exploration for those seriously interested in the Impressionists and/or the evolution of art during the 19th century as well as serious fans of Manet and Meissonier. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/The-White-Road-Audiobook/B016LGYNXG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The White Road Subtitle: Journey into an Obsession Author: Edmund de Waal Narrator: Michael Maloney Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 54 mins Language: English Release date: 11-10-15 Publisher: Macmillan Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 50 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Visual Arts Publisher's Summary: An intimate narrative history of porcelain, structured around five journeys through landscapes where porcelain was dreamed about, fired, refined, collected, and coveted. Extraordinary new nonfiction, a gripping blend of history and memoir, by the author of the award-winning and best-selling international sensation,The Hare with the Amber Eyes. In The White Road, best-selling author and artist Edmund de Waal gives us an intimate narrative history of his lifelong obsession with porcelain, or "white gold". A potter who has been working with porcelain for more than 40 years, de Waal describes how he set out on five journeys to places where porcelain was dreamed about, refined, collected and coveted - and that would help him understand the clay's mysterious allure. From his studio in London, he starts by travelling to three "white hills" - sites in China, Germany, and England that are key to porcelain's creation. But his search eventually takes him around the globe and reveals more than a history of cups and figurines; rather, he is forced to confront some of the darkest moments of 20th-century history. Part memoir, part history, part detective story, The White Road chronicles a global obsession with alchemy, art, wealth, craft, and purity. In a sweeping yet intimate style that recalls The Hare with the Amber Eyes, de Waal gives us a singular understanding of "the spectrum of porcelain" and the mapping of desire. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Edmund de Waal) Tue, 10 Nov 2015 23:45:60 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/The-White-Road-Audiobook/B016LGYNXG thebookvoice.com 11:54:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Marvelous and addictive I am so pleased with the narrator - I immediately looked up all the other books that he has read. His voice is clear as a bell and the book itself is a delight. I would never have imagined the story of porcelain being quite so fascinating and now I find myself making my way to museums to admire their porcelain collections. I've been reading along with the physical book, which is also a treat because it's broken up into small paragraphs and divided into sections by moments of history or discovery - it's like reading a travel journal. I will certainly be reading Edmund de Waal's other book, The Hare with Amber Eyes. Don't Give This at Christmas What would have made The White Road better? The "Hare" was magnetic with the draw of family, 1890s Paris, Jewish families trading grain and the artifacts of brilliant life. The White Road had no grip; no life derived from the Hare. What could Edmund de Waal have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? History, personality, emotional investment. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Title: The Sistine Secrets Subtitle: Michelangelo's Forbidden Messages in the Heart of the Vatican Author: Benjamin Blech, Roy Doliner Narrator: James Cameron Stewart Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 18 mins Language: English Release date: 08-08-17 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Visual Arts Publisher's Summary: Five hundred years ago, Michelangelo began work on a painting that became one of the most famous pieces of art in the world - the Sistine Chapel ceiling. Every year millions of people come to see Michelangelo's Sistine ceiling, which is the largest fresco painting on earth in the holiest of Christianity's chapels; yet there is not one single Christian image in this vast, magnificent artwork. The Sistine Secrets tells the fascinating story of how Michelangelo embedded messages of brotherhood, tolerance, and freethinking in his painting to encourage "fellow travelers" to challenge the repressive Roman Catholic Church of his time. Blech and Doliner reveal what Michelangelo meant in the angelic representations that brilliantly mocked his papal patron, how he managed to sneak unorthodox heresies into his ostensibly pious portrayals, and how he was able to fulfill his lifelong ambition to bridge the wisdom of science with the strictures of faith. The Sistine Secrets unearths secrets that have remained hidden in plain sight for centuries. Critic Reviews: "Fascinating....

[Manchester Evening News (UK)] Members Reviews: Well-researched! Would you listen to The Sistine Secrets again? Why? Actually, I never listen to a book or watch a movie again. I am one of a lucky few with the ability to store that information in schema files of memory. For that reason, I retain most memory of an event, book, movie, life experience. ThIs is both a blessing and a curse. What was one of the most memorable moments of The Sistine Secrets? The torment of Leonardo as he seeks to put what would then be called a "blasphemous" painting. He was quite skilled and sneaky in covering up any blatant, tell-tail signs! Which character as performed by James Cameron Stewart was your favorite? Leonardo, of course! Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? No, I had done research on this painting and others prior to seeing it in person. What actually made me angry was seeing it and all the extreme wealth at the vatican. Following reading Christopher Hitchen's book about Mother Theresa made me feel both lied to and cheated of a young, strict, Catholic education. VOWS OF POVERTY?!? Yeah, sure... Any additional comments? Be prepared to become an agnostic. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Sothebys-Bidding-for-Class-Audiobook/B00NYCMFCC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

From its beginning in 18th century London as a modest book dealer, Sothebys owes its rise to a succession of clever and colourful entrepreneurs who knew how to read the winds of economic change and sniff out buyers and sellers of the moment. This volume explores the history of Sotheby's auction house, tracing its beginnings back to 1744. It was in the latter half of the 19th century, when economic instability forced the aristocrats to sell off many of their treasures that Sotheby's began to lay the foundations of the modern art market. The Sotheby's-Christie's rivalry intensified in the early-1900s and they have been battling it out ever since over the likes of Cezanne, Picasso, Van Gogh and Monet. Lacey takes the reader through the unprecedented boom of the 1980s, when Van Gogh's "Irises" went for $53.9 million, and examines the catastrophic effects of an inflation still being felt today. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Robert Lacey) Mon, 29 Sep 2014 15:17:26 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Sothebys-Bidding-for-Class-Audiobook/B00NYCMFCC thebookvoice.com 09:50:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Sotheby's; Distributing the wealth of the Latter Day Upper Crust to Other New Members of the Upper Crust Bidding For Class is an opportunity for those of us who aren't wealthy to go behind the scenes of the poshest of posh auctions, and see how it all comes to be, and then we get to sit in on the auction and watch the bidding with no fear that rubbing an eyebrow (or the equivalent) will have us up for buying- Paying For!!- a multi-million dollar item. See how clients come to be clients, and just who buys all of those goodies! The history of who did what and how was very interesting, as was the insider view of the action. However, by the end of the book, it left me wanting just a little less... It is interesting, informative and fun. I will never look at an auction quite the same way. The Glamor and Scandal of a World-Class Auction House the glamorous, glitzy, and often scandalous story of Sotheby's --from its humble beginnings in 1744, to 1996's Jacqueline Kennedy's auction, . to 1997's art-smuggling imbroglio, with several pages of photos & illustrations print ads . Not only is it a "back stage" story about Sotheby - but it also closely follows the development of it's hate/love relationship with it's only rival - Christies. Spectacular Read!! Well written, well researched, well told, great pictures, phenomenal vocabulary! This book came to me at a time when I was searching for a read that was a bit more academic, and this was it! It was difficult to put down, which is not what I was expecting, considering that it is the history of a family owned company turned corporation. I picked it up on a whim, and I consider myself lucky! If only for vocabulary acquisition, I recomend that you read it! I cannot say enough wonderful things about it! Five Stars very great and fast shipping A++++ Thank you so much!! Some People Have Too Much Money Who would have thought that the upright, high class and very proper world of high class auctions was really a swamp of scams and cheats. I actually thought that the dust jacket with it's Kitty Kelly type tabloid write up was just a way to get the average reader to pick the book up - - who would have thought that the lead up was only the tip of the iceberg. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/The-Lost-Painting-Audiobook/B002UZKTLI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

He was a genius, a revolutionary painter, and a man beset by personal demons. Caravaggio scholars estimate that between 60 and 80 of his works are in existence today. Many others, no one knows the precise number, have been lost to time. Somewhere, surely, a masterpiece lies forgotten in a storeroom, or in a small parish church, or hanging above a fireplace, mistaken for a mere copy. Prizewinning author Jonathan Harr embarks on an spellbinding journey to discover the long-lost painting known as The Taking of Christ; its mysterious fate and the circumstances of its disappearance have captivated Caravaggio devotees for years. After Francesca Cappelletti stumbles across a clue in that dusty archive, she tracks the painting across a continent and hundreds of years of history. But it is not until she meets Sergio Benedetti, an art restorer working in Ireland, that she finally manages to assemble all the pieces of the puzzle. The fascinating details of Caravaggio's strange, turbulent career and the astonishing beauty of his work come to life in these pages. Harr's account is not unlike a Caravaggio painting: vivid, deftly wrought, and enthralling.

(Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: an incredible and complex story unfolds seamlessly This book was absolutely excellent, an easy listen with a wonderful cast of characters. The storyline flows nicely despite being very complex, surrounding the incredible discovery of a Caravaggio painting in the unlikeliest of places. The rich narrative seamlessly ties together diverse characters and the underlying mystery surrounding their connection, albeit unknown to them, to the lost painting. Throughout the story, the various personalities are fleshed-out as they are followed, and the truth of the painting's history unfolds. The details were wonderful, making it easy to visualize the different places visited, the people in the story, and the various levels of connection that are made as the pieces of the puzzle fall into place. I love art and mysteries, and I loved this book. I was also pleasantly surprised by the brief but informative interview with the author. Highly recommended. Engrossing and well written Jonathan Harr has written a story within a story, but not just the usual kind. This is a biography within a true story, a window on history glimpsed from the world of art historians. He has crafted a tale that is both suspenseful and full of human drama. The listener comes to care about the real people who populate this book, whether they are our contemporaries or lived 400 years ago in Rome. I hated for the story to end. There is an interesting interview with Mr. Harr at the end of the book. His style is truly unique, a contemporay historian/journalist who writes non-fiction with the feel of a novel. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Raphaels-Stanza-della-Segnatura-Rome-Audiobook/B002V8MDR2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Cornelius Gurlitt, cittadino tedesco di 79 anni, sta viaggiando su un treno diretto a Monaco quando viene fermato per un controllo di routine. Agli occhi degli agenti l'uomo non è che un innocuo vecchietto, ma un'ispezione rivela che, cuciti nel risvolto della sua giacca, ci sono ben novemila euro in contanti. Una cifra importante per un pensionato, che porta la polizia ad approfondire le indagini. Si scopre così che nella sua casa di Monaco l'anziano vive come un barbone, nel disordine e nella sporcizia, ma tra scatole vuote di cibo e carte ammucchiate alla rinfusa, nasconde un vero, inestimabile tesoro: più di duemila capolavori di ogni epoca, ufficialmente scomparsi nel bombardamento di Dresda del 13 febbraio 1945. Cornelius afferma di aver ereditato quella fortuna - opere di Canaletto, Picasso, Franz Marc, Matisse, Dürer, Rodin, Kokoschka e moltissimi altri, per un valore stimato di oltre un miliardo di euro - da suo padre, Hildebrand Gurlitt, "mercante d'arte" al servizio del Führer. Quella che state per leggere è l'incredibile storia dell'uomo che per anni si occupò per conto di Adolf Hitler di sequestrare e requisire con la forza le opere d'arte degli artisti ebrei e tutto ciò che il regime definiva "arte degenerata" perché contraria ai principi del nazionalsocialismo. Dopo anni di ricerche negli archivi del Terzo Reich, Meike Hoffmann e Nicola Kuhn hanno ricostruito l'ascesa di un semplice curatore di mostre che, cavalcando l'onda del nazismo, arrivò a diventare uno dei collaboratori più stretti di Hitler e uno dei principali mercanti d'arte nei territori occupati. Una storia dura, che deve essere raccontata, in cui l'ineffabile bellezza dell'arte è asservita alla cieca violenza.

Title: The Ugly Renaissance Subtitle: Sex, Greed, Violence, and Depravity in an Age of Beauty Author: Alexander Lee Narrator: Arthur Morey Format: Unabridged Length: 15 hrs and 51 mins Language: English Release date: 10-07-14 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 75 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Visual Arts Publisher's Summary: A fascinating and counterintuitive portrait of the sordid, hidden world behind the dazzling artwork of Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Botticelli, and more.... Renowned as a period of cultural rebirth and artistic innovation, the Renaissance is cloaked in a unique aura of beauty and brilliance. Its very name conjures up awe-inspiring images of an age of lofty ideals in which life imitated the fantastic artworks for which it has become famous. But behind the vast explosion of new art and culture lurked a seamy, vicious world of power politics, perversity, and corruption that has more in common with the present day than anyone dares to admit. In this lively and meticulously researched portrait, Renaissance scholar Alexander Lee illuminates the dark and titillating contradictions that were hidden beneath the surface of the periods best-known artworks. Rife with tales of scheming bankers, greedy politicians, sex-crazed priests, bloody rivalries, vicious intolerance, rampant disease, and lives of extravagance and excess, this gripping exploration of the underbelly of Renaissance Italy shows that, far from being the product of high-minded ideals, the sublime monuments of the Renaissance were created by flawed and tormented artists who lived in an ever-expanding world of inequality, dark sexuality, bigotry, and hatred. The Ugly Renaissance is a delightfully debauched journey through the surprising contradictions of Italys past and shows that were it not for the profusion of depravity and degradation, historys greatest masterpieces might never have come into being. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio. Critic Reviews: "Lee...lays bare the base tendencies and avaricious impulses that undergirded much of the Renaissance's artistic splendor.... Focusing progressively on the lived experiences of the period's artists, the designs of their patrons and the broader political tendencies reshaping the continent, Lee provides an entertaining frolic buttressed by serious scholarship.... An illuminating look at how the flowering of human imagination celebrated in the Renaissance was fertilized by the excesses of human nature."

( Kirkus Reviews) Members Reviews: Incredible Depth and Insight Very important to note: this overview isn't for beginners. It's assumed going in that the reader knows the important names of the time, as the goal here is to weave these names together into a larger tapestry. If you're not up on your who's who of Renaissance Italy, Wiki will likely be your friend. And even if you are, it might be worth having it on standby every now and again. Even so, names aren't thrown at you without some context. It's just helpful to know who these people are other than to say "this one's a pope, that one's a warlord," and so on. The more you already know about the basics, the better positioned you'll be for getting the most out of what this book has to offer. That said, this is a wonderful overview of the Italian Renaissance and all of the terrible things that defined it. The scope of this is astounding. It intertwines the worlds of art, merchant banking, politics, religion, and warfare so as to present everything as an inseparable whole. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/The-Vanishing-Velazquez-Audiobook/B01COQNNT2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Vanishing Velázquez Subtitle: A 19th Century Bookseller's Obsession with a Lost Masterpiece Author: Laura Cumming Narrator: Siobhan Redmond Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 15 mins Language: English Release date: 04-12-16 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 93 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Visual Arts Publisher's Summary: From one of the world's most expert art critics, the incredible true story - part art history and part mystery - of a Velázquez portrait that went missing and the obsessed 19th-century bookseller determined to prove he had found it. When John Snare, a 19th-century provincial bookseller, traveled to a liquidation auction, he stumbled on a vivid portrait of King Charles I that defied any explanation. The Charles of the painting was young - too young to be king - and yet also too young to be painted by the Flemish painter to which the work was attributed. Snare had found something incredible - but what? His research brought him to Diego Velázquez, whose long-lost portrait of Prince Charles has eluded art experts for generations. Velázquez (1599-1660) was the official painter of the Madrid court during the time the Spanish Empire teetered on the edge of collapse. When Prince Charles of England - a man wealthy enough to help turn Spain's fortunes - ventured to the court to propose a marriage with a Spanish princess, he allowed just a few hours to sit for his portrait. Snare believed only Velázquez could have met this challenge. But in making his theory public, Snare was ostracized, victim to aristocrats and critics who accused him of fraud, and forced to choose, like Velázquez himself, between art and family. A thrilling investigation into the complex meaning of authenticity and the unshakable determination that drives both artists and collectors of their work, The Vanishing Velázquez travels from extravagant Spanish courts in the 1700s to the gritty courtrooms and auction houses of 19th-century London and New York. But it is above all a tale of mystery and detection, of tragic mishaps and mistaken identities, of class, politics, snobbery, crime, and almost farcical accident. It is a magnificently crafted pause resister, a testimony to how and why great works of art can affect us to the point of obsession. Critic Reviews: "Siobhan Redmond is a narrator of considerable subtlety and expressiveness, and a fine complement to Laura Cummings own considerable powers of description and evocation."

(AudioFile) Members Reviews: A fascinating study of art history I have to admit that, at first, I was only a little intrigued by this book. I also found the narrators accent somewhat difficult in the beginning. But before long I found myself deeply drawn into the mystery, the cultural surroundings of the artist and the collector, the beautiful, almost poetic, discussions of the artists style, the historical perspective, the writing, and the unique lilt of the narrators speech pattern which, as I progressed through the book I found I enjoyed more and more. This book delves into many layers of obsessions and art, how those intertwine, and have been perceived across time. I found the writing illuminating, passionate, and extremely well researched, as well as thought provoking, and lovingly crafted. Of course seeing anything as a masterpiece is purely in the eye of the beholder, and frankly, I am still coming to grips with my personal felling a about Velazquez, but I have a new perspective on him and his works, thanks to Laura Cumming and Siobhan Redmond, who have very masterfully brought him and this enchanting story to my attention.

Title: Just My Type Subtitle: A Book About Fonts Author: Simon Garfield Narrator: Gildart Jackson Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 45 mins Language: English Release date: 09-26-11 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 54 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Visual Arts Publisher's Summary: Fonts surround us every day, on street signs and buildings, on movie posters and books, and on just about every product that we buy. But where do they come from, and why do we need so many? Who is responsible for the staid practicality of Times New Roman, the cool anonymity of Arial, or the irritating levity of Comic Sans (and the movement to ban it)? Typefaces are now 560 years old, but we barely knew their names until about 20 years ago when the pull-down font menus on our first computers made us all the gods of type. Beginning in the early days of Gutenberg and ending with the most adventurous digital fonts, Simon Garfield explores the rich history and subtle powers of type. He goes on to investigate a range of modern mysteries, including how Helvetica took over the world, what inspires the seeming ubiquitous use of Trajan on bad movie posters, and exactly why the all-type cover of Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus was so effective. It also examines why the "T" in the Beatles logo is longer than the other letters and how Gotham helped Barack Obama into the White House. A must-have book for the design conscious, Just My Type's cheeky irreverence will also charm everyone who loved Eats, Shoots & Leaves and Schott's Original Miscellany. Critic Reviews: "A lively companion to books such as Robert Bringhurst's essential Elements of Typographic Style (1992) and John Lewis's classic Typography: Design and Practice."

( Kirkus) Members Reviews: No PDF included to show typefaces discussed Great book, but I was disappointed that there was no accompanying pdf to display the typefaces. Since this is a big part of the print book experience, it's a dumb oversite. The "pdf extras" on the publisher page is a list of websites, not any of the book's necessary illustrations. Two for One - A Reference in delightful narrative I have no idea why I suddenly became interested in typography. Blame it on old fashioned curiosity and the infectious nature of the endless resources of the Internet. Along with this sudden interest in Typography I had an interest in learning how to use iBooks Author, so I combined the two interests by deciding to write my own textbook about fonts - not for the purpose of publishing a textbook, but rather as a means to understand all those fonts that I have accumulated over time. Now I already knew that there was a documentary called Helvetica and I wanted to know just how someone could find so much to document about a single font. I still haven't seen the documentary, although I plan to, but now I know that there is a great deal to learn about this entire field of typography and my curiosity to learn more led me to Audible where I simply typed the word fonts into the search bar. Up came the title Just My Type. As usual, I listened to the sample, left the website, thought about it and again returned, listened, thought about it some more, and finally decided to get the audiobook. I am glad I did. Information for a lifetime There is almost too much information to digest the first few times around. I did listen to it all the way to the end, although I fell asleep halfway through and missed a good number of chapters. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Florence-The-History-and-Legacy-of-the-Birthplace-of-the-Renaissance-Audiobook/B075MP8M2F Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Florence: The History and Legacy of the Birthplace of the Renaissance Author: Charles River Editors Narrator: Jim D. Johnston Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 54 mins Language: English Release date: 09-15-17 Publisher: Charles River Editors Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Visual Arts Publisher's Summary: When historians are asked to pick a point in history when western civilization was transformed and guided down the path to modernity, most of them point to the Renaissance. Indeed, the Renaissance revolutionized art, philosophy, religion, the sciences, and math, with individuals like Galileo, Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael, Dante, and Petrarch bridging the past and modern society. Most historians credit the city-state of Florence as the starting place of the Italian Renaissance, a process carried out through the patronage and commission of artists during the late 12th century. If Florence is receiving its due credit, much of it belongs to the Medici family, a Florentine dynasty that ruled at the height of the Renaissance. The dynasty held such influence that some of its family members even became popes. Of all the fields that were advanced during the Renaissance, the period's most famous works were works of art, including iconic paintings, like Leonardo's Mona Lisa, and timeless sculptures, like Michelangelo's David. It is fitting that both Leonardo and Michelangelo were at times members of Lorenzo de Medici's court. The famous leader, who also considered himself an artist and poet, became known for securing commissions for the most famous artists of the age, including the aforementioned legends Piero and Antonio del Pollaiuolo, Andrea del Verrocchio, Sandro Botticelli, and Domenico Ghirlandaio. (When Lorenzo de Medici died in April 1492, he was buried in a chapel designed by Michelangelo.) As a result, Florence remains one of Europe's favorite tourist spots. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Charles River Editors) Fri, 15 Sep 2017 03:09:34 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Florence-The-History-and-Legacy-of-the-Birthplace-of-the-Renaissance-Audiobook/B075MP8M2F thebookvoice.com 01:54:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Unfolding like living history the art and artists of the 1800's struggle, fail, and succeed at both ends of competing art epochs... without directly competing.

Title: Art History Author: IntroBooks Narrator: Andrea Giordani Format: Unabridged Length: 37 mins Language: English Release date: 09-09-16 Publisher: IntroBooks Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Visual Arts Publisher's Summary: Art history is all about challenging the creative side of yourself, inspiring you to find beauty in all forms. Since the beginning of the world, mankind has known and practiced art in different styles, from the crude drawings and paintings of the caveman to the masterpieces of Leonardo da Vinci. Art history spans the entire history of the human race, right from the primeval times to the 21st century. It is the study of objects of art and the style, design and genre that they have been made in. This includes paintings, sculptures, architecture, and even furniture and other decorative arts like ceramics. Art History embraces various methods to study the works of art and architecture. The field of art is much easier to understand when divided into three parts, which is the specialists, the critics, and the art historians. The part played by the art critics is very crucial, because they are the ones who help in establishing a comparative artistic value to the piece of work with respect to the works of others of the same genre. They have the authority to sanction an entire new style or a movement or philosophy of art and art theory. There is another department of study known as Aesthetics and it mostly deals in investigating the problem of the transcendent and defining the quintessence of beauty. On the other hand, Art History has nothing to do with any of these. Art historians use historical methods to find answers about a historical piece of art, to questions such as: How was the artist inspired to create the particular work? Who was the teacher? Who were the spectators? What historic events influenced the artist's work? What effects did the art create socially and politically? Many questions like these arise for each piece of art, and the art historian's work is to find those answers. biacuaduc@gmail.com (IntroBooks) Fri, 09 Sep 2016 08:36:53 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Art-History-Audiobook/B01LOVA2EC thebookvoice.com 00:37:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: The Virgin of Guadalupe Subtitle: The History and Legacy of One of the Catholic Church's Most Venerated Images Author: Charles River Editors, Gustavo Vazquez-Lozano Narrator: Scott Clem Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 10-18-16 Publisher: Charles River Editors Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Visual Arts Publisher's Summary: No other artwork in the world is comparable to the Virgin of Guadalupe. What makes this painting unique - located in the Basilica of Guadalupe, north of Mexico City - is not precisely its artistic quality, as is the case with the Mona Lisa by Leonardo or The Kiss by Gustav Klimt, nor its place in the evolution of painting. It clearly does not constitute a landmark in art history, and the most visited painting in the world is certainly not the summit or the harbinger of a new aesthetic movement, like Dali's melting watches or Van Gogh's Starry Night. In fact, for some, the execution of the image is coarse and all its elements fit well known techniques. For others, it is merely a copy of a sculpture of the Virgin found in Spain. What distinguishes the Virgin of Guadalupe of Mexico is her universality: unlike any work of art in the world, it can be recognized by any local resident, certainly the most ubiquitous symbol in her country. It would be difficult to find a Mexican who cannot name her. The other thing that makes the Virgin of Guadalupe incomparable is her power to unite her nation, something that has been widely demonstrated throughout history. At different moments, and raised by different hands, the Virgin of Guadalupe (never the original painting) has led the troops that changed the history of the territory now known as Mexico. Not even a few hours had passed after the start of the War of Independence when the rebel army was already carrying the image of Guadalupe; in the twentieth century the image was present at the indigenous rebellion in Chiapas in 1994 and also materialized during the Mexican "perestroika" of 2000, which ended the single-party regime that had lasted for seven decades. Going further back, during Mexico's conquest, Hernán Cortés carried an image of the Virgin that, to the disinterested observer, is obviously the prototype of the Mexican Madonna. For some, Guadalupe is the work of a talented Indian painter, and this work was retouched and embellished by others in later centuries. The majority of scholars note how the image "appeared" at a very convenient time in Mexicos history, when evangelization functioned as the ideological arm of the material conquest of the Aztec empire. There are even reasons to wonder whether the image currently on display in Mexico City is the same as in the 17th century since it is known from testimonies of the time that Mary had a crown on her head. That means if it's the same, at the very least it has been retouched, doctored and tampered with again. Conversely, for the believers, the image was miraculously stamped on the tilma or cloak of a man named Juan Diego. Among the latter are most of the 17 million persons who visit the original every year in Mexico City, which makes it the most visited painting in the world. By comparison, the Mona Lisa at the Louvre in Paris receives six million visitors per year. What nobody questions believers, skeptics or atheists is that the Virgin of Guadalupe has been the most important symbol, religious or not, in Mexicos history, a kind of non-official flag. Her influence has spread even to the Mexican diaspora, where it has become a sign of identity, pride and resistance among undocumented immigrants in the United States. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Charles River Editors) Tue, 18 Oct 2016 04:44:26 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/The-Virgin-of-Guadalupe-Audiobook/B01M8IGB1J thebookvoice.com 01:05:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

What nobody questions believers, skeptics or atheists is that the Virgin of Guadalupe has been the most important symbol, religious or not, in Mexicos history, a kind of non-official flag. Her influence has spread even to the Mexican diaspora, where it has become a sign of identity, pride and resistance among undocumented immigrants in the United States.

Title: The Virgin of Guadalupe Subtitle: The History and Legacy of One of the Catholic Church's Most Venerated Images Author: Charles River Editors, Gustavo Vazquez-Lozano Narrator: Scott Clem Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 10-18-16 Publisher: Charles River Editors Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Visual Arts Publisher's Summary: No other artwork in the world is comparable to the Virgin of Guadalupe. What makes this painting unique - located in the Basilica of Guadalupe, north of Mexico City - is not precisely its artistic quality, as is the case with the Mona Lisa by Leonardo or The Kiss by Gustav Klimt, nor its place in the evolution of painting. It clearly does not constitute a landmark in art history, and the most visited painting in the world is certainly not the summit or the harbinger of a new aesthetic movement, like Dali's melting watches or Van Gogh's Starry Night. In fact, for some, the execution of the image is coarse and all its elements fit well known techniques. For others, it is merely a copy of a sculpture of the Virgin found in Spain. What distinguishes the Virgin of Guadalupe of Mexico is her universality: unlike any work of art in the world, it can be recognized by any local resident, certainly the most ubiquitous symbol in her country. It would be difficult to find a Mexican who cannot name her. The other thing that makes the Virgin of Guadalupe incomparable is her power to unite her nation, something that has been widely demonstrated throughout history. At different moments, and raised by different hands, the Virgin of Guadalupe (never the original painting) has led the troops that changed the history of the territory now known as Mexico. Not even a few hours had passed after the start of the War of Independence when the rebel army was already carrying the image of Guadalupe; in the twentieth century the image was present at the indigenous rebellion in Chiapas in 1994 and also materialized during the Mexican "perestroika" of 2000, which ended the single-party regime that had lasted for seven decades. Going further back, during Mexico's conquest, Hernán Cortés carried an image of the Virgin that, to the disinterested observer, is obviously the prototype of the Mexican Madonna. For some, Guadalupe is the work of a talented Indian painter, and this work was retouched and embellished by others in later centuries. The majority of scholars note how the image "appeared" at a very convenient time in Mexicos history, when evangelization functioned as the ideological arm of the material conquest of the Aztec empire. There are even reasons to wonder whether the image currently on display in Mexico City is the same as in the 17th century since it is known from testimonies of the time that Mary had a crown on her head. That means if it's the same, at the very least it has been retouched, doctored and tampered with again. Conversely, for the believers, the image was miraculously stamped on the tilma or cloak of a man named Juan Diego. Among the latter are most of the 17 million persons who visit the original every year in Mexico City, which makes it the most visited painting in the world. By comparison, the Mona Lisa at the Louvre in Paris receives six million visitors per year. What nobody questions believers, skeptics or atheists is that the Virgin of Guadalupe has been the most important symbol, religious or not, in Mexicos history, a kind of non-official flag. Her influence has spread even to the Mexican diaspora, where it has become a sign of identity, pride and resistance among undocumented immigrants in the United States. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Canossa-and-the-Lands-of-Matilda-Audiobook/B075Z74FWN Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Bernini's Beloved Subtitle: A Portrait of Costanza Piccolomini Author: Sarah McPhee Narrator: Robert Blumenfeld Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 18 mins Language: English Release date: 07-12-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Visual Arts Publisher's Summary: With lips slightly parted and eyes fixed on a point in the distance, a breathtaking marble portrait of Costanza Piccolomini appears alive. Carved by Gianlorenzo Bernini in 1636 - 37 for his own pleasure, the portrait of Costanza is one of his most captivating works, but until now little has been known about its subject. For centuries Costanza was identified only as Bernini's mistress, who later incited his rage by betraying him for his brother. Author Sarah McPhee corrects and expands this story in her remarkable biography of a sculpture and its subject. Bernini's Beloved sets the bust and Costanza's own life - her childhood and noble name, her marriage, affair, fall from grace, and recovery - against the backdrop of Baroque Rome. Beautifully written, this fascinating story expands our understanding of the woman whose intelligence and passion served as inspiration for Bernini's celebrated sculpture, and who courageously forged a life for herself in the decades following its creation. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Sarah McPhee) Fri, 12 Jul 2013 12:37:00 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Berninis-Beloved-Audiobook/B00DIFFWDO thebookvoice.com 05:18:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Hard to evaluate This listen is boring! Robert Blumenfeld reads paragraphs is Italian then translates into English, the narrative goes on and on about Costanza's husband, daughter, lovers but not so much about Costanza herself. I didn't expect to hear much about Bernini which was a good thing. For art lovers and art students, I don't feel you will come away from this listen feeling enriched. Sorry, I must recommend a pass. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/History-of-Modern-Art-Audiobook/B01NBIJNW2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: The Eiffel Tower: The History of Paris' Most Famous Landmark Author: Charles River Editors Narrator: Maria Chester Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 35 mins Language: English Release date: 06-25-15 Publisher: Charles River Editors Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Visual Arts Publisher's Summary: "Being the most striking manifestation of the art of metal structures by which our engineers have shown in Europe, it is one of the most striking of our modern national genius." - Gustave Eiffel It's the home of kings, emperors, and aristocrats, and the home of the Champs-Élysées, the Bastille, the Louvre and the salons that fueled the Enlightenment. For foreigners like Benjamin Franklin, it was the most beautiful city in the world, and millions of people still visit those same sites every year. Known as the "City of Light," Paris seamlessly blends its rich past with all the trappings of a modern city, and the city's features and qualities are taken for granted today, but Paris was not always that way. In fact, it took nearly half a century of redesigning the city during the 19th century to transform it into the city it is today. Though it may be hard to believe today, the Eiffel Tower was initially met with derision by many Frenchmen, some of whom compared it to the Tower of Babel and complained that the "useless and monstrous" structure would obscure treasures such as Notre Dame. In response to such criticisms, Eiffel himself pointed out, "Can one think that because we are engineers, beauty does not preoccupy us or that we do not try to build beautiful, as well as solid and long lasting structures? Aren't the genuine functions of strength always in keeping with unwritten conditions of harmony? Besides, there is an attraction, a special charm in the colossal to which ordinary theories of art do not apply." It's safe to say that Eiffel was correct. Each year, millions of people refute those original notions by riding to the top and making it the most visited paid monument in the entire world. Indeed, the Eiffel Tower has welcomed over 250 million visitors in less than 130 years. Eiffel had the good fortune of being vindicated in his lifetime, and as he once joked, "I ought to be jealous of the tower. She is more famous than I am." biacuaduc@gmail.com (Charles River Editors) Thu, 25 Jun 2015 20:40:29 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/The-Eiffel-Tower-The-History-of-Paris-Most-Famous-Landmark-Audiobook/B010BORPSE thebookvoice.com 01:35:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: James The French engineer Eiffel designed the Eiffel Tower funding much of the construction himself. The usual scoffers and hangers-ons denounced the expenses but Eiffel prevailed. The tower is a magnificent example of man's dreams realized. Eiffel investigated other disciplines such as the drag associated with aircraft design. Three Stars A bit too technical and not enough human interest about the builder, Three Stars Just ok. Four Stars Very useful reference. You can find beside the history additional events that makes you appreciate this great engineer effort. Interesting. Good background on this iconic landmark. It does contain documents from the period. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/The-Modern-Scholar-The-Grandeur-That-Was-Rome-Audiobook/B003WQN49I Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: An excellent blend of history and art This is an excellent complement to the Modern Scholar lectures on Roman history. The professor gives the historical background as well as describing the monuments in Rome and the provinces. Getting a picture of the man-made material setting helps one to more easily visualise the people and events, than if one only had the literary sources. You get to stroll through Trajan's Rome, at the height of its power and wealth, as well as cities in Africa and Asia. The professor's rather negative view of Hadrian is interesting. Loved it Loved it and I'm sure I will play it again many times. There's a lot of information to take in.

The Monuments Men had a mandate from President Roosevelt to find these artworks, but no vehicles, typewriters, or authority. In a race against time to save the worlds greatest cultural treasures from destruction at the hands of Nazi fanatics, each man constructed his own treasure map. They used tips, records recovered from bombed buildings, and the secret journals of Rose Valland, a French museum employee who secretly tracked Nazi plunder in Paris. These unlikely heroes, mostly middle-aged family men, walked away from successful careers into the epicentre of the war. This is their story. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Robert M.

Members Reviews: Men of hope If you could sum up Monuments Men in three words, what would they be? Men of hope What did you like best about this story? I always like true stories in which the contrast between good and bad, corruption and honesty, despair and hope is so apparent. Which scene was your favorite? The descriptions of how and where the loot was found Any additional comments? The personal side of the story in the fashion of letters and notes really allows the audience to feel empathy with the people Stuff that happen The book is a little dry. The book is creative historical non fiction being dressed up as a novel without much success. The Narrator Jeff Harding does an adequate job, however he is tied to the writing of Robert M. Edsel who failed to create real drama, plot or character. Based on fact and probably historically correct, it still lacks the charm of the movie and comes down to just a list of facts, dates, times and stuff that happens. Informative This informative book makes me curious to know more. It revealed an aspect of the Second World War completely unknown to me previously. Soon to be a movie This is the story that is currently being made into a movie with George Clooney, Matt Damon and Cate Blanchett. I actually loved that it was history that was presented like fiction, which for me made it easier to follow and more entertaining. Good book, probably better in print I enjoyed it, but I kept having to rewind when I realised I'd forgotten to pay attention for a while. I get the feeling it's the kind of book to fully appreciate you need to be able to look at the who's who and I suspect maps and pictures that are in the print version. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Our-Lady-Cathedral-Antwerp-Audiobook/B002V01C72 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Esta ficción dramática está basada en la impresionante historia de Hans van Meegeren en la década de 1930 y durante la Segunda Guerra mundial, que logró falsificar y vender seis Vermeers y dos Franz Hals por una suma actualizada a la fecha estimada en 100 millones de dólares. Uno de los Vermeers fue comprado por Herman Goering, segundo en la jerarquía del Tercer Reich. Al terminar la Segunda Guerra Mundial van Meegeren debió enfrentar la acusación de traidor a la patria y tuvo que confesar sus falsificaciones para salvar su vida. Estas confesiones fueron un terremoto en la comunidad pictórica de Holanda y del mundo entero, dado que sus falsificaciones habían sido aceptadas en forma unánime, y una de ella, el Cristo en Emaús se consideraba el mejor Vermeer de todos. Esta ficción, basada en hechos reales, nos lleva a reflexionar acerca del concepto de autenticidad en el arte y la validez de los conceptos tradicionales de verdad y belleza: ¿Un cuadro deja de ser bello cuando se comprueba que es una falsificación?

Members Reviews: How David took on the Nintendo Goliath Boss Fight Books has been one of the more successful video game related Kickstarters, being over 900% funded. Essentially a single video game is examined in detail, including interviews with those who worked on the title and the personal reflections that the author wishes to share about the game. These books average around 100 pages, and have become very popular within the retrogaming community. The series has a mix of both very popular and niche titles such asSuper Mario Bros. 2 (Boss Fight Books Book 6),EarthBound (Boss Fight Books Book 1), and the seventh entry in the series Bible Adventures. Bible Adventuresis a very interesting footnote in video game history, as it is published by a company named Wisdom Tree who focused on Christian titles for the Nintendo, Game Boy, Sega Genesis, and currently PC. Wisdom Tree ran unopposed by Nintendo, as the video game giant did not want to make waves by harassing a religious company for making games for their very popular systems. These titles were never sold in Toys 'R Us or other major retailers, but instead found a niche market in the Christian bookstore arena in the 90s. Collectors seek out these Wisdom Tree cartridges for their unique shape and color, as well as their games being vastly different from anything officially released for the system. You can also visit their website and play these games for free in your internet browser. Gabe Durham explores his interaction with Bible Adventures, along with several other Wisdom Tree titles when he was a child. Having been involved with Christianity at a very young age, he had no issues acquiring Bible Adventures from his church library. Throughout the book, Gabe explores his relationship with Christianity, and explores how his faith has evolved over time. Intertwined with Gabe's story is the history of the Wisdom Tree company. Multiple interviews were conducted and researched with the development team as well as people in marketing and sales. The book is full of technical references on how difficult it can be coding a video game for a platform as complex as the Nintendo Entertainment System, but at no point does the Boss Fight Book overwhelm the reader with long drawn out explanations of bits and bytes. Instead, the writer engrosses the reader with details on how an underdog company sold thousands of video game cartridges to a small but powerful market without any assistance from Nintendo. I found this book to be a very easy read, and was able to complete it within two nights. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Art-and-Ethical-Criticism-Audiobook/B00CDQ9IZM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Art and Ethical Criticism Author: Garry L. Hagberg Narrator: Gary Telles Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 18 mins Language: English Release date: 04-18-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Visual Arts Publisher's Summary: Early in his philosophical career, Wittgenstein cryptically remarked that "Ethics and aesthetics are one and the same. But is the good really interchangeable with the beautiful?" While aesthetics and moral values often do seem to go hand in hand, we all know that the devil is in the details. Art and Ethical Criticism explores these elusive details to shine a scholarly light on the complex relationship between the arts and morality. This groundbreaking work begins with a thorough examination of the historical roots of the concept of ethical criticism as it applies to literature, the visual arts, and music. A series of thoughtprovoking essays by leading philosophers then delves deeply into the complex network of interconnections between the ethical and aesthetic realms. Areas explored include ways of describing ethical content in the arts; the value of literary casestudies for moral understanding; distinct ethical issues that arise in connection with our exposure to visual art, artefacts, photography, and architecture; and the significance of moral relations as depicted in music and its performance. The result is a multifaceted, conceptual study that probes into the sublime nature of beauty, art, and morality to reveal that ethics and aesthetics are not one and the same after all but nor are they, according to any simple division, two. Art and Ethical Criticism is a stimulating and insightful inquiry into contemporary philosophical debates that lie at the intersection of aesthetics and moral philosophy. Garry L. Hagberg is the James H. Ottaway Professor of Philosophy and Aesthetics at Bard College, and in recent years has held a Chair in the School of Philosophy at the University of East Anglia and a visiting fellowship at Cambridge University. He has published and lectured widely; his books include Describing Ourselves: Wittgenstein and Autobiographical Consciousness, Art as Language, and Meaning and Interpretation. He is coeditor of The Blackwell Companion to the Philosophy of Literature (with Walter Jost) and of the journal Philosophy and Literature. Critic Reviews: "This is an excellent and genuinely useful collection of essays on a very important topic that is just beginning to receive wide attention from analytical philosophers."

The result is a multifaceted, conceptual study that probes into the sublime nature of beauty, art, and morality to reveal that ethics and aesthetics are not one and the same after all but nor are they, according to any simple division, two. Art and Ethical Criticism is a stimulating and insightful inquiry into contemporary philosophical debates that lie at the intersection of aesthetics and moral philosophy. Garry L. Hagberg is the James H. Ottaway Professor of Philosophy and Aesthetics at Bard College, and in recent years has held a Chair in the School of Philosophy at the University of East Anglia and a visiting fellowship at Cambridge University. He has published and lectured widely; his books include Describing Ourselves: Wittgenstein and Autobiographical Consciousness, Art as Language, and Meaning and Interpretation. He is coeditor of The Blackwell Companion to the Philosophy of Literature (with Walter Jost) and of the journal Philosophy and Literature. Critic Reviews: "This is an excellent and genuinely useful collection of essays on a very important topic that is just beginning to receive wide attention from analytical philosophers." (Ted Cohen, University of Chicago) Members Reviews: The voice makes me to feel sleeppy Would you try another book from Garry L. Hagberg and/or Gary Telles? I couldn't finish listening to this book because of the voice. There is no changes in a tone of the voice which makes it a dull listen. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/IELTS-Reading-and-Listening-Audiobook/B004Q1K1TO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Where does Art & Fear rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? This book is one that I will return to again and again like a mantra. I'm so happy that it is available in audio now. I can listen to it driving back and forth to the day job - the job that allows me to buy any art supplies I need but keeps me too busy to remember where my studio is and too tire to go there when I do remember. What was one of the most memorable moments of Art & Fear? "The hardest part of artmaking is living your life in such a way that your work gets done, over and over..." Have you listened to any of Arthur Moreys other performances before? How does this one compare? No. This performance would be my first for him. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? "It is easier to paint in the angel's feet to another's master-work than to discover where the angels live within yourself." Any additional comments? I've read Art & Fear two or three times over the last several years. My paperback copy is worn and underlined. It's a book I go back to when I get stuck in my art. Yesterday, I was looking for my copy, couldn't find it and turned to Audible. I was thrilled to find it here! The prose is sometimes beautiful and sometimes sarcastic. The writers don't take themselves too seriously. That being said, they never fail offer the encouragement I need when I start doubting my artistic integrity. For every creative soul "How does art get done? Why, often, does it not get done? And what is the nature of the difficulties that stop so many who start?" These are the questions the authors ask, and more importantly, answer, in this concise, brilliant book. By turns philosophical and pragmatic, insightful and witty, ART AND FEAR is a gift for the creative soul. It's valuable to working artists, artists who have given up, and artists who have yet to begin. And if you remove the charged word "artist," one might say it's valuable to anyone who struggles to create anything. You need not be writing a symphony or a novel, dancing a principal role, or attempting to release a sculpture from a hulking block of marble. Maybe you're designing a dress, creating a new dish, keeping an illustrated journal, or teaching yourself to play a ukulele. What creative thing you do isn't the point. Continuing to do it is: "What separates artists from ex-artists is that those who challenge their fears, continue; those who don't quit." This is at the heart of the authors' message. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/The-Medici-Audiobook/B01CPWLDSI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Medici Subtitle: Power, Money, and Ambition in the Italian Renaissance Author: Paul Strathern Narrator: Derek Perkins Format: Unabridged Length: 16 hrs and 21 mins Language: English Release date: 03-15-16 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 413 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Visual Arts Publisher's Summary: A dazzling history of the modest family that rose to become one of the most powerful in Europe, The Medici is a remarkably modern story of power, money, and ambition. Against the background of an age that saw the rebirth of ancient and classical learning, Paul Strathern explores the intensely dramatic rise and fall of the Medici family in Florence as well as the Italian Renaissance, which they did so much to sponsor and encourage. Interwoven into the narrative are the lives of many of the great Renaissance artists with whom the Medici had dealings, including Leonardo, Michelangelo, and Donatello as well as scientists like Galileo and Pico della Mirandola. In his enthralling study, Strathern also follows the fortunes of those members of the Medici family who achieved success away from Florence, including the two Medici popes and Catherine de' Medici, who became queen of France and played a major role in that country through three turbulent reigns.

Critic Reviews: "A fantastically comprehensive history covering the breadth of the great learning, art, politics, and religion of the period." (Kirkus) Members Reviews: An Intriguing Lens on the Renaissance The Medici are used in this book as an intriguing lens into Renaissance life and norms. Not only are the characteristics and personalities of the Medici family and their many relationships made the forefront of this book, but we also learn a great deal about the cultural origins Renaissance thought - and therefore in many ways of our own. The author seems generally fair, neither painting the Medici as total saints or total sinners (though he perhaps leans toward the latter viewpoint), although some of his personal feelings about the relative value of science and religion regularly seep into the book. Overall, I feel that I'm much better acquainted with Renaissance Europe because of this book, and the fact that it was an enjoyable and interesting read full of drama and intrigue makes it accessible outside of more academic circles - though it might be difficult to keep up with some elements of the book without a decent acquaintance with European history and geography. A smart story, amazing in scope and detail In a continuous braid of sharply etched characters and well-lit scenes, this book knit together all sort of pieces of things, from many disciplines, I knew something about, and made great sense of it all. The Renaissance was a sort of funnel through which the ancient and medieval worlds flowed toward ours. Its figures at last make a coherent sense to me, and link clearly to our world today, and the ancient and medieval worlds that came before. I have long been into art history, but here it all linked (as I never perceived it before) to the currents of thought and history and personality in which it happened. The movement between ideas and people in this telling is graceful and seamless. The Medici provide a central prism through which all this can be viewed and appraised, and in an entertaining fashion. The most shocking elements of this tale for me were in the brutality, venality, and rife sin to be found in popes in this period, Medicis and others. But unexpectedly, with help from Machiavelli (so well explained here), I came to see a sort of sense in many of these lurid acts. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Broad-Strokes-Audiobook/B072R5NMGT Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Women Artists Have Been Around...They Just Never Got Talked About Until Now I listened to this first as an audiobook from the library. Then I wanted to read it so I got it for my kindle. Best of all my daughter got the hardcover for me as a gift! I wish I had this in college back in the 80s when all my art history classes had been about men. Bridget Quinn introduced me to women artist I never new existed, and help me learn more about more contemporary women artists I have been seeing in museums. Look forward to more books from this author. Well written, thoroughly researched, and a pleasure to read This is a great, contemporary take on female artists. In my opinion, it would be a good supplement to any art history course. Well written, thoroughly researched, and a pleasure to read. LOVE this Book!! I *loved* this book, I *love* this book, I give this book to every strong woman I know... Broad Strokes is smart, witty, fun and such a great read... It is wonderful to read about the women who made the art, and Bridget Quinn makes me feel like I am sitting down to chat with my new best friend, the Artist of the piece. Well well well done!!! Four Stars Very interesting book. Given to friend/artist. Beautiful book A beautiful book that makes you want to know more about each artist. As a woman is hard to find the same hurtful and sad patterns of injustice, but it brings you hope thinking of these women who made art even when nobody believed on them. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Eats-Shoots-Leaves-Audiobook/B002V0QUWE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(AudioFile) Members Reviews: Not Too Much There This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? First, is't not the original book, which I assumed it was. Rather is a number of disjointed excerpts, interviews, and sound bites, with lackluster attempts at comedy. I took away nothing I did not know. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? It is poor value for the cost. If the price we $3.95, I probably would not return it. The Deadly Consequences of Punctuation. This isn't the book! I say that because it is obvious from the title of this program if one reads the whole thing, but it seems many didn't bother and then were disappointed with the product for being what it says it is. This is the radio broadcast that inspired the book. It's a very clever program that helps a person think about punctuation and its uses. It shows, for instance, how a misplaced coma can have deadly consequences. "Let's eat grandpa!" means something entirely different than "Lets eat, grandpa!". Lynne Truss uses such examples to show the usefulness of punctuation. And that is the usefulness of this program it arouses interest in punctuation and alerts the listener to the need for punctuation. Of course, there is talk of how punctuation is used properly and different mistakes made with punctuation and why. The history of punctuation and the uses of different marks was also interesting. However, the show is by no means exhaustive in its treatment of punctuation. Most of the individual segments are maybe 10 minutes long. Also, there are no chapter breaks in this program. That seems like it would have been an easy thing to do. The whole program is one hour and runs through the entire broadcast in one fell swoop. No re-listening to just that segment on the comma. Not good audio book material Any additional comments? I was hoping for so much more; disappointing product. This content may have been better as the BBC show or as written material. There were parts such as the walks along London streets that did not work well in this format. There are better books on this subject matter. Eats, Shoots & Leaves Cute, but because it is a collection of radio broadcasts, it becomes very formulaic and predictable. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Walk-Through-Walls-Audiobook/B01L0GKU5C Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Walk Through Walls Subtitle: A Memoir Author: Marina Abramovic Narrator: Marina Abramovic Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 56 mins Language: English Release date: 10-25-16 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 172 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Visual Arts Publisher's Summary: "I had experienced absolute freedom - I had felt that my body was without boundaries, limitless; that pain didn't matter, that nothing mattered at all - and it intoxicated me." In 2010 more than 750,000 people stood in line at Marina Abramovi's MoMA retrospective for the chance to sit across from her and communicate with her nonverbally in an unprecedented durational performance that lasted more than 700 hours. This celebration of nearly 50 years of groundbreaking performance art demonstrated once again that Marina Abramovi is truly a force of nature. The child of Communist war-hero parents under Tito's regime in postwar Yugoslavia, she was raised with a relentless work ethic. Even as she was beginning to build an international artistic career, Marina lived at home under her mother's abusive control, strictly obeying a 10:00 p.m. curfew. But nothing could quell her insatiable curiosity, her desire to connect with people, or her distinctly Balkan sense of humor - all of which inform her art and her life. The beating heart of Walk Through Walls is an operatic love story - a 12-year collaboration with fellow performance artist Ulay, much of which was spent penniless in a van traveling across Europe - a relationship that began to unravel and came to a dramatic end atop the Great Wall of China. Marina's story, by turns moving, epic, and dryly funny, informs an incomparable artistic career that involves pushing her body past the limits of fear, pain, exhaustion, and danger in an uncompromising quest for emotional and spiritual transformation. A remarkable work of performance in its own right, Walk Through Walls is a vivid and powerful rendering of the unparalleled life of an extraordinary artist. Critic Reviews: "Artist Marina Abramovic narrates this memoir documenting her life and 50 years of performance art. Her Yugoslavian-accented English and unique phrasing patterned with starts and stops make this listening experience as distinctive as Abramovic's art.... Like her live audiences, Abramovic's listeners enter into her narrated performance art and discover that 'the artist is present.'"

It blows my mind how much people can miss the point when creative genius is the target of observation. This was easily the best autobiography I've ever read. Entertaining, inspiring, honest. Superb all around. Wow... Marina Abramovich gives a peek into her Life and inspiration that has defined her as a person. Most of all it is honest. Great read! Fascinating life and good writer Very well-written. Vivid images. Feelings are palpable through each chapter. Easy to follow. I agree on another reviewer: this is the perfect audiobook. Fascinating memoir; excellent narration All I knew about Abramovic was that she cut herself during a performance. Wow, that was only the tip of the iceberg on this amazing lady. This is a human story -- love, loss, shame, pride -- an Anramovic isn't afraid to talk about any of it. Besides being a fascinating story, Abramovic's narration was some of the best in the business. To hear her in the Eastern European accented English read this book, which is so rich in the history of her country and her people, was a great experience. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/The-12-Million-Stuffed-Shark-Audiobook/B01MSB48OD Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

By what alchemy does Jackson Pollock's drip painting "No. 5, 1948" sell for $140 million? Intriguing and entertaining, The $12 Million Stuffed Shark is a Freakonomics approach to the economics and psychology of the contemporary art world. Why were record prices achieved at auction for works by 131 contemporary artists in 2006 alone, with astonishing new heights reached in 2007? Don Thompson explores the money, lust, and self-aggrandizement of the art world in an attempt to determine what makes a particular work valuable while others are ignored. This book is the first to look at the economics and the marketing strategies that enable the modern art market to generate such astronomical prices. Drawing on interviews with both past and present executives of auction houses and art dealerships, artists, and the buyers who move the market, Thompson launches the listener on a journey of discovery through the peculiar world of modern art. Surprising, passionate, gossipy, and revelatory, The $12 Million Stuffed Shark reveals a great deal that even experienced auction purchasers do not know.

( Kirkus) Members Reviews: Naked Emperors This is a very well documented encapsulation of all that is horrifyingly wrong with the art market today, esp in the USA and London where quality and talent is totally subjugated to and trumped by sensation, trendiness and outrage. No one is taught craft anymore with the result that the discerning eye in art has ceased to exist. Where is Robert Hughes when we need him? Don Thompson is doing a great job filling his shoes. The emperors are starkers, and the Gagosians of the world are, to my mind, making a fortune off of it. Caveat emptor !!!! Great way to get up to speed on the insane ... Great way to get up to speed on the insane and intriguing contemporary art market. Probably the most interesting conclusion I draw is based on my new understanding of why Stephen A Cohen is such a good and successful art collector / investor. When one achieves a high status in the contemporary art world, as has Stephen A Cohen, he gets 1) first looks at hot artists at discounted prices and 2) has the ability to turn a no-name artist into something more by simply buying his/her work. Thus, he easily gets the best deals and investment opportunities within the Contemporary art world. I liken this to insider trading in the world of stock trading, but in the contemporary art market, unlike the stock market, insider trading is legal - so no wonder he like the contemporary art market so much. To the victor go the spoils! I Loved it in Spite of a Few Drawbacks When you read this book, you will feel like you are reading a thrilling novel. The author sweeps you along, divulging such new and inconceivable information, that you will constantly want to keep going. I learned more from this book than I ever learned about the art world as an art student. It is true, though, that this author has only focused on a part of the art world, and there are many successful artists working in areas uncovered by the book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/A-Raisin-in-the-Sun-Hansberry-Lektuerehilfe-PONS-Lektuerehilfe-A-Raisin-in-the-Sun-Lorraine-Hansberry-Audiobook/B00TDZZ85A Hören Sie sich dieses volle Hörbuch kostenlos bei https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> Titel: A Raisin in the Sun - Hansberry Lektürehilfe.

Title: The Lonely City Subtitle: Adventures in the Art of Being Alone Author: Olivia Laing Narrator: Susan Lyons Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 55 mins Language: English Release date: 06-02-16 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 106 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Visual Arts Publisher's Summary: An expertly crafted work of reportage, memoir, and biography on the subject of loneliness told through the lives of six iconic artists, by the acclaimed author of The Trip to Echo Spring. You can be lonely anywhere, but there is a particular flavor to the loneliness that comes from living in a city, surrounded by thousands of strangers. The Lonely City is a roving cultural history of urban loneliness, centered on the ultimate city: Manhattan, that teeming island of gneiss, concrete, and glass. What does it mean to be lonely? How do we live if we're not intimately involved with another human being? How do we connect with other people, particularly if our sexuality or physical body is considered deviant or damaged? Does technology draw us closer together or trap us behind screens? Olivia Laing explores these questions by traveling deep into the work and lives of some of the century's most original artists, among them Andy Warhol, David Wojnarowicz, Edward Hopper, Henry Darger, and Klaus Nomi. Part memoir, part biography, part dazzling work of cultural criticism, The Lonely City is not just a map, but a celebration of the state of loneliness. It's a voyage out to a strange and sometimes lovely island, adrift from the larger continent of human experience, but visited by many - millions, say - of souls. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Olivia Laing) Thu, 02 Jun 2016 17:08:57 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/The-Lonely-City-Audiobook/B01GGEBRMS thebookvoice.com 09:55:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Beautifully Written, Engaging, Informative What made the experience of listening to The Lonely City the most enjoyable? Olivia Laing's writing was on point. This is a great book to read/listen to if you are or have ever been lonely, if you are or have ever been an artist, if you are interested in art or art history or New York City, or if you are interested in the HIV/AIDS crisis of the 1980s. I downloaded the book in a fit of acute loneliness, and it was comforting. I did not expect it to be so satisfying personally, politically, intellectually, and artistically. It's one of my top five audiobooks ever. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes! But it's too dense to absorb all at once. I immediately started it from the beginning after I finished it, and wrote out several quotes so that I could go back to reference them later. Thorough interesting research, average story I enjoyed the accounts of the artists in this book, and I found myself looking them and their art up throughout the book out of curiosity. Which that's what this book did - perked my curiosity. I liked the art history lesson, which you can tell Olivia Laing has done some very thorough research and I thought her own personal story and how it intertwined with the artists was cool. But at times the narration got old and dry, and I wasn't dying to listen to it everyday. Written beautifully, but not always profound. Highly relatable, unexpectedly personal. I read the description not quite knowing what to expect. This novel forced me to look inward, forcing me, not reluctantly, to empathize with many of the individuals that were discussed. Being lonely is an unavoidable part of being human. Don't buy this book. Starts out powerful but fails mightily. I now know more about certain artists than I ever wanted to. She goes on and on and on about the lives of certain New York artists. It's massively boring. The first part, up until she actually starts dissecting Andy Warhol, is pretty good. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Clear-Seeing-Place-Audiobook/B073K96CC5 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Seeing the world as art Who was your favorite character and why? The author is the character and love him for his realness. What about Brian Rutenbergs performance did you like? I enjoyed having the author read this to me. I had previously read the book, but it was my voice in my head. I loved hearing Rutenberg tell his story and share his advice in his voice. It lent credibility and a sense of truth. Any additional comments? There is a touch of irony in describing a book about the life of an artist as "beautiful", but I can think of no better word to describe it. I truly felt a kindred spirit with the author. While he grew up in the low country of South Carolina, and I grew up in the cold winters of Western NY, I understand his ability to see the world as art. Even as a child, I saw things in words; Rutenberg in colors. The author-artist takes us from South Carolina on his journey to the art world of NYC. Largely introspective, this book gives tips and anecdotes for any would-be artist. I highly recommend this book. If you or someone you know is a painter or any type of artist, this book will offer you an insight and a sense of belonging. I have always appreciated art museums for the historical and intrinsic value that they offer, but I will look at them with a fresh set of eyes now because painters definitely see things differently. Loved this book! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes it was wonderful! Which scene was your favorite? I loved them all! Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? No Any additional comments? At first I was unsure about listening to a book instead of reading it myself, as well as when would I listen to it? I am a runner and I found that listening to the book while running actually helped me to visualize what was being read to me! Surprisingly I really enjoyed this book! The way that it was written/read gave me a new outlook on some things and a stronger appreciation for others! I could relate to some of the vivid descriptions and the relations to colors that he used. I strongly suggest trying it out! Full of humor, good advice and thoughtfulness. Any additional comments? The author brings you into a setting he created. The world of creativity and how he views it. He has a quick wit, full of humor, inspiration and talent! I like that he shares his wisdom and its not just for artists but for everyone alike. Living life for every second you can, and enjoying life. Hes a talented character who is makes you look at things a bit different. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Superheroes-Audiobook/B00FM89B64 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Almost documentary in parts My spouse and I listened to this book on vacation, in the car as we drove to our destination, at our destination and back in the car on the way home. We enjoyed it greatly because we both love comic books. This audiobook makes use of recorded interviews so for some parts you get the interviewees' own voices, making it almost like a documentary. We really appreciated this. The book covers the origins of characters known and little known and also gets into the real world business part of the comic industry. It seemed a little MARVEL heavy as opposed to DC, but explained, though the history of those enterprises why they are so different and why somethings don't get produced. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Bit-by-Bit-Audiobook/B06ZYTPT9K Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Bit by Bit Subtitle: How Video Games Transformed Our World Author: Andrew Ervin Narrator: Andrew Ervin Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 8 mins Language: English Release date: 05-02-17 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 11 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Visual Arts Publisher's Summary: An acclaimed novelist and critic argues that video games are the most vital art form of our time. Video games have seemingly taken over our lives. Whereas gamers once constituted a small and largely male subculture, today 67 percent of American households play video games. The average gamer is now 34 years old and spends eight hours each week playing - and there is a 40 percent chance this person is a woman. In Bit by Bit, Andrew Ervin sets out to understand the explosive popularity of video games. He travels to government laboratories, junk shops, and arcades. He interviews scientists and game designers, both old and young. In charting the material and technological history of video games from the 1950s to the present, he suggests that their appeal starts and ends with the sense of creativity they instill in gamers. As Ervin argues, games can be art because they are beautiful, moving, and even political. Critic Reviews: "[Bit by Bit] is a contemplative ode to electronic entertainment.... It's a personal journey that speaks volumes on how video games have grown, evolved, and multiplied to fill myriad roles over the years." (Publishers Weekly) "It's unusual for a history of video games to feature multiple quotes from Rilke, references to philosophy and Zen Buddhism, and comparisons to great works of art. But that's exactly what Ervin serves up to support his compelling argument: video games can be art."

(Booklist) Members Reviews: Entertaining and Edifying Scholarly Memoir From Pong to the latest iteration of Sony's Playstation, this is a supremely enjoyable and relatable examination and rumination of how videogames have irrevocably changed how we live and play and learn. Good book! Nice history on the evolution of the video games. Nice perspective from the author. Not bad at all Thoughtful and current from someone who had an Atari like me. I too had younger people walk me through Minecraft... and wtfed at the gamergate bs. not to worry a book you have to actually pay attention to or read is a perfect place to hide such criticism. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/Stay-Awhile-and-Listen-Audiobook/B01G49XP8Y Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Unique and interesting I thoroughly enjoyed the tales of the Blizzard founders in their prime. the Narration at first seemed a bit silly but by the end I discovered I rather enjoyed it's quirkiness. Interesting look into the history of Blizzard I really enjoyed this look into Blizzard's past and the original of Diablo and Warcraft. Great listening! Loved it, how my favorite PC game came about. can't get enough of the WOW information. so many voices... the narrators imitation voices ruin the book for me. otherwise its not horrible. not grwat either https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/The-Painted-Word-Audiobook/B0096PAIN4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: excellent Id reccomend this book to artists, art students, and anyone who has ever stood in front of a painting and thought "I just dont get it." It's funny, succinct, and I'd honestly listen to Mr. Cropp read a telephone book. Its short so I'd just pay the $10 rather than using a credit if I were you. A joy to read and to listen The sophistication of the book will elude many, but I have the education and attention to find the points he makes exquisite fun. The intellectual independence Wolfe often displays is often avoided by reducing the effort to fashion. This book examines fashion in a way that allows intellect to escape fashion and understand the voice of art rather than commerce. Commerce may decide what and how we value image, however, image must stand without that decision in intimate understanding. Wolfe seems to understand the predicament well. As an art theorist this encapsulates the modernist and post modernist thought to a T Having read the texts Mr Wolfe references I can say that he hits it spot on. Anyone following art theory writing and its current trend can vouch for it. His comments shine a light on the basic ideas and the writers who cast such a towering shadow over the art world and continue to do so in the universities to this day. Modern Art makes More Sense after this Book What did you love best about The Painted Word? Modern art is art because of the ideas it represents, rather than aesthetics. In fact, the lack of aesthetics is of primary importance in many forms of modern art. This lack of emphasis on the visual aspect of modern visual art may be the factor that differentiates modern art from its predecessors. A history in an eggshell Extremely well read and written with humour art history book. Excellent listen for the road. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/The-Art-Instinct-Audiobook/B00BQM1F4Q Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Ochlan Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 7 mins Language: English Release date: 04-15-13 Publisher: Audible Studios for Bloomsbury Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 39 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Visual Arts Publisher's Summary: The Art Instinct combines two of the most fascinating and contentious disciplines, art and evolutionary science, in a provocative new work that will revolutionize the way art itself is perceived. Aesthetic taste, argues Denis Dutton, is an evolutionary trait, and is shaped by natural selection. It's not, as almost all contemporary art criticism and academic theory would have it, "socially constructed". The human appreciation for art is innate, and certain artistic values are universal across cultures, such as a preference for landscapes that, like the ancient savannah, feature water and distant trees. If people from Africa to Alaska prefer images that would have appealed to our hominid ancestors, what does that mean for the entire discipline of art history? Dutton argues, with forceful logic and hard evidence, that art criticism needs to be premised on an understanding of evolution, not on abstract "theory". Sure to provoke discussion in scientific circles and an uproar in the art world, The Art Instinct offers radical new insights into both the nature of art and the workings of the human mind. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Denis Dutton) Mon, 15 Apr 2013 08:27:32 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/The-Art-Instinct-Audiobook/B00BQM1F4Q thebookvoice.com 12:07:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: wow I'm so glad I read that I now know a few thing I didn't and it was such a calm and clear experience thanks a lot Don't bother Would you try another book from James Carren and/or John Edmondson? NO Would you ever listen to anything by James Carren again? maybe What do you think the narrator could have done better? Wasn't so much the narrator but the writing of the book What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? Frustration. Having some experience with Landscape Photography I was hoping to find some insight or different perspective on this topic that I could use. What I heard was nothing. This book barely would qualify for a beginners book. Any additional comments? This is a very short book on a topic that could/should have taken more time to talk abou th the topic and provide more information how and what to do Landscape Photography. Having finished this book there was not one thing I learned. In fact I was frustrted at time because there is so much more that should have been said or discussed in detail. You can learn more by watching YouTube videos. Can I get my money back? Learned a little looking forward to spring and summer here in the great white north to attempt what i've learned Helpful and simple Would you consider the audio edition of Photography: Landscape Photography to be better than the print version? Yes it speaks in simple terms for all including beginners. Any additional comments? I will listen to often to remember the basics. Relatively vague This book covers a wide range of topics, tools and hints for landscape photography, however lacks detail explanation and depth to really understand and use these straight away. Even for an advanced photographer with a good background knowledge. I would recommend this as a starting point, but be prepared to spend additional time (and money) in researching tutorials and lessons for the tools as well as just trail and error. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Arts-Entertainment/The-Lady-in-Gold-Audiobook/B00ANULDZ8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/307/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Lady in Gold Subtitle: The Extraordinary Tale of Gustav Klimt's Masterpiece, 'Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer' Author: Anne-Marie O'Connor Narrator: Coleen Marlo Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 50 mins Language: English Release date: 12-24-12 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 288 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Visual Arts Publisher's Summary: "The Lady in Gold", a portrait considered an unforgettable masterpiece, one of the 20th century's most recognizable paintings, made headlines all over the world when Ronald Lauder bought it for $135 million a century after Klimt, the most famous Austrian painter of his time, completed the society portrait. Anne-Marie O'Connor, writer for the Washington Post, formerly of the Los Angeles Times, tells the galvanizing story of the Lady in Gold, Adele Bloch-Bauer, a dazzling Viennese Jewish society figure; daughter of the head of one of the largest banks in the Hapsburg Empire, head of the Oriental Railway, whose Orient Express went from Berlin to Constantinople; wife of Ferdinand Bauer, sugar-beet baron. The Bloch-Bauers were art patrons, and Adele herself was considered a rebel of fin de siècle Vienna (she wanted to be educated, a notion considered degenerate in a society that believed women being out in the world went against their feminine "nature"). The author describes how Adele inspired the portrait and how Klimt made more than a hundred sketches of her - simple pencil drawings on thin manila paper. And O'Connor writes of Klimt himself, son of a failed gold engraver, shunned by arts bureaucrats, called an artistic heretic in his time, a genius in ours. She writes of the Nazis confiscating the portrait of Adele from the Bloch-Bauers' grand palais; of the Austrian government putting the painting on display, stripping Adele's Jewish surname from it so that no clues to her identity (nor any hint of her Jewish origins) would be revealed. Nazi officials called the painting, "The Lady in Gold" and proudly exhibited it in Vienna's Baroque Belvedere Palace, consecrated in the 1930s as a Nazi institution. The author writes of the painting, inspired by the Byzantine mosaics Klimt had studied in Italy, with their exotic symbols and swirls, the subject an idol in a golden shrine. We see how, 60 years after it was stolen by the Nazis, the Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer became the subject of a decade-long litigation between the Austrian government and the Bloch-Bauer heirs, how and why the U.S. Supreme Court became involved in the case, and how the Court's decision had profound ramifications in the art world. In this book listeners will find riveting social history; an illuminating and haunting look at turn-of-the-century Vienna; a brilliant portrait of the evolution of a painter; a masterfully told tale of suspense. And at the heart of it, The Lady in Gold - the shimmering painting, and its equally irresistible subject, the fate of each forever intertwined. Critic Reviews: "O'Connor resurrects fascinating individuals and tells a many-faceted, intensely affecting, and profoundly revelatory tale of the inciting power of art and the unending need for justice."

Title: Arresting Development Subtitle: Comics at the Boundaries of Literature Author: Christopher Pizzino Narrator: Clark Provence Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 56 mins Language: English Release date: 05-23-17 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Visual Arts Publisher's Summary: Mainstream narratives of the graphic novel's development describe the form's "coming of age", its maturation from pulp infancy to literary adulthood. In Arresting Development, Christopher Pizzino questions these established narratives, arguing that the medium's history of censorship and marginalization endures in the minds of its present-day readers and, crucially, its authors. Comics and their writers remain burdened by the stigma of literary illegitimacy and the struggles for status that marked their earlier history. Many graphic novelists are intensely aware of both the medium's troubled past and their own tenuous status in contemporary culture. Arresting Development presents case studies of four key works - Frank Miller's Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Alison Bechdel's Fun Home, Charles Burns's Black Hole, and Gilbert Hernandez's Love and Rockets - exploring how their authors engage the problem of comics' cultural standing. Pizzino illuminates the separation of high and low culture, art and pulp, and sophisticated appreciation and vulgar consumption as continual influences that determine the limits of literature, the status of readers, and the value of the very act of reading. The book is published by University of Texas Press. Critic Reviews: "This extraordinary book is a potential game-changer in comics studies...may redraw the very boundaries of the field." (Charles Hatfield, California State University, Northridge) "Learned, energetic, and wide-ranging. Pizzino is one of the best scholars of comics working today." (Hillary L.

Title: Why Architecture Matters Author: Paul Goldberger Narrator: Michael Prichard Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 09-30-10 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 56 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Visual Arts Publisher's Summary: Why Architecture Matters is not a work of architectural history or a guide to styles or an architectural dictionary, though it contains elements of all three. The purpose of Why Architecture Matters is to "come to grips with how things feel to us when we stand before them, with how architecture affects us emotionally as well as intellectually" - with its impact on our lives. "Architecture begins to matter," writes Paul Goldberger, "when it brings delight and sadness and perplexity and awe along with a roof over our heads." He shows us how that works in examples ranging from a small Cape Cod cottage to the "vast, flowing" Prairie houses of Frank Lloyd Wright, from the Lincoln Memorial to the highly sculptural Guggenheim Bilbao and the Church of Sant'Ivo in Rome, where "simple geometries... create a work of architecture that embraces the deepest complexities of human imagination." Based on decades of looking at buildings and thinking about how we experience them, the distinguished critic raises our awareness of fundamental things like proportion, scale, space, texture, materials, shapes, light, and memory. Upon completing this remarkable architectural journey, listeners will enjoy a wonderfully rewarding new way of seeing and experiencing every aspect of the built world. The book is published by Yale University Press. Critic Reviews: "Why Architecture Matters reminds us that in a democratic capitalist society, the only sure guarantee that we will get good architecture is if we shake off our ignorance and start to take a personal interest in the design of our neighborhoods. Here is a succinct, lyrical and heartfelt book that celebrates the best works of architecture and points the way to being able to build more of it in the world today. There are so many guides to the world of art, so few to the world of architecture. This is among the very best."

Title: Why Architecture Matters Author: Paul Goldberger Narrator: Michael Prichard Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 09-30-10 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 56 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Visual Arts Publisher's Summary: Why Architecture Matters is not a work of architectural history or a guide to styles or an architectural dictionary, though it contains elements of all three. The purpose of Why Architecture Matters is to "come to grips with how things feel to us when we stand before them, with how architecture affects us emotionally as well as intellectually" - with its impact on our lives. "Architecture begins to matter," writes Paul Goldberger, "when it brings delight and sadness and perplexity and awe along with a roof over our heads." He shows us how that works in examples ranging from a small Cape Cod cottage to the "vast, flowing" Prairie houses of Frank Lloyd Wright, from the Lincoln Memorial to the highly sculptural Guggenheim Bilbao and the Church of Sant'Ivo in Rome, where "simple geometries... create a work of architecture that embraces the deepest complexities of human imagination." Based on decades of looking at buildings and thinking about how we experience them, the distinguished critic raises our awareness of fundamental things like proportion, scale, space, texture, materials, shapes, light, and memory. Upon completing this remarkable architectural journey, listeners will enjoy a wonderfully rewarding new way of seeing and experiencing every aspect of the built world. The book is published by Yale University Press. Critic Reviews: "Why Architecture Matters reminds us that in a democratic capitalist society, the only sure guarantee that we will get good architecture is if we shake off our ignorance and start to take a personal interest in the design of our neighborhoods. Here is a succinct, lyrical and heartfelt book that celebrates the best works of architecture and points the way to being able to build more of it in the world today. There are so many guides to the world of art, so few to the world of architecture. This is among the very best." (Alain de Botton, author of The Architecture of Happiness) Members Reviews: Reading too mechanical The writing was a passionate depiction of a valuable force in any culture: architecture. But the narration was spoken as if the words had no meaning. Cut through that flaw, and the subject is worth hearing over and over again. Good Read, for professionals and regular readers Reminds professionals the fundamentals and purpose of our profession. Regular readers not versed or familiar with subject will find their views realigned and see great works of architecture around in a different light with more profound appreciation. unfortunate match between content and narrator I have enjoyed Michael Prichard narrations in the past (though I don't think I could say he ever sounds quite as interested in what he's reading, as in the sound of his own voice), but this particular combination is HORRID. Goldberger's extended essays are worth exploring so I'm managing for now to get past the mismatch with the speaker, but I would never recommend this version. light touch on architecture good book, good themes, light on academic architecture. my only and largest critique is the lack of photos! :P Great content, poor performance Goldberger packs this little book full of buildings, architects and ideas. You could probably get an architecture degree by reading through all the references and visiting just half of the buildings. Great place to start as a beginner or architecture enthusiast.
