The Art and Technique of Sumi-E
Japanese Sumi-e brush painting combines the techniques of calligraphy and ink painting to produce compositions of rare beauty. This art has its roots in the Zen Buddhist practices of mindfulness and meditation--serving as a means not just for describing wonders of nature, but as a method for training our minds to view the world in its essential grace and simplicity. This book is the product of many years of study with Ukai Uchiyama--a master Japanese calligrapher and artist. Kay Morrissey Thompson shares the knowledge she gained from this association, presenting a thorough discussion of the artist's work along with a series of practical lessons based on Mr. Uchiyama's instruction. The informative text is accompanied by over fifty illustrations, many in color, reproducing works by Ukai Uchiyama and enabling aspiring artists to understand how each painting was created. With a smaller size and new cover, this timeless Tuttle Classic (originally published in 1960), has been reformatted for a new generation of readers.
The Writer
The Writer (O Escritor) Ana Hatherly's collection of visual and asemic work returns us to the subversive potential of the hand and its ability to unsettle and reorient language, speech, and expression. With its commitment to writer and reader as fellow travelers and to new visionary possibilities for the written word, The Writer is a landmark in the history of visual poetry.30 images play on the movement of letters into and beyond language. The images invite the reader to engage with the text and the written form as it manifests through images, as material of plastic arts, as textual language expressed visually taken from the utterance of the mouth and transformed into narratives not possible with grammar. The Writer (O Escritor) is a collection of visual poems, asemic expressions, and lettrist experiments exploring what is possible when the evocative capacity of language is given expression beyond the imposition of grammatical order, social transcriptions, or cultural restrictions.Not only does The Writer (O Escritor) expand our limited understanding of writing, and illuminate the potential of Hatherly's vibrant hand beautifully unfolding across various pictograms, but it also builds upon all the obsessions of one of the 20th century's most fascinating Portuguese poets. Fifty years since its first publication, The Writer (O Escritor), originally printed by the Portuguese publishing house Moraes Editores in 1975, reprinted by Hysterical Books, is a landmark in the history of visual poetry.

Stass Paraskos
Stass Paraskos: Critical Frameworks re-examines one of Cyprus's most significant modern artists through a fresh theoretical lens.Drawing on Hayden White's theory of emplotment and post-colonial theory, including the writings of Rasheed Araeen, Homi K. Bhabha, Stuart Hall and Edward Said, this book challenges long-standing assumptions about Paraskos as a 'peasant painter' or naive modernist. Instead, it presents him as an intellectually self-aware artist whose practice was both rooted in Cyprus and in a dialogue with international modernism.Through close readings of Paraskos's paintings, writings and his founding of the Cyprus College of Art, Stass Paraskos: Critical Frameworks explores questions of artistic identity, migration, colonial inheritance and cultural resistance. It also situates his work within wider debates on hybridity, marginality and the politics of interpretation that affect artists working beyond the traditional centres of the Western art world.Far from being a regional study, this is a book about how we interpret art itself, how critical narratives are formed and how they might be challenged.In rethinking the conceptual framework through which we view Paraskos and his work, we are invited to consider new and more pluralistic ways of writing art history, not only for Cyprus, but for the global condition of art today.
Ex Voto An Account Of The Sacro Monte Or New Jerusalem At Varallo-Sesia
Ex voto: An account of the Sacro Monte or New Jerusalem at Varallo-Sesia is a historical work that examines the significance and artistry of the Sacro Monte in Varallo, Italy. Samuel Butler explores the chapels and religious sculptures created to recreate the experiences of the Holy Land for those unable to travel there. The book highlights the contributions of various artists, with particular attention to the sculptor Tabachetti, and emphasizes the craftsmanship involved in life-sized figures made from terra-cotta, often detailed with realistic features, drapery, and human hair. Butler reflects on prior literature and his own observations to provide a comprehensive account of the site's historical, cultural, and artistic importance. He also discusses the visionary efforts of Bernardino Caimi, the founder of the Sacro Monte, and the influences of different artists in shaping the collection. Through careful description and analysis, the work aims to inspire further appreciation and study of this unique religious and artistic heritage, blending historical narrative with aesthetic evaluation.

Kinfolk 58
In Issue Fifty-Eight, Kinfolk examines our relationship with money--not as currency or an endgame, but as an emotional force that shapes how we live and who we become. Writer Otegha Uwagba reflects on financial independence and the widening divide between those who inherit wealth and those who don't, and Hettie O'Brien meets the recipients of extreme intergenerational wealth and finds that privilege doesn't always bring peace of mind.

Elsewhere, we offer alternative routes into an abundance mindset: We meet five Scandinavian business leaders reshaping their companies around values beyond profit; our fashion editorial pays homage to the idea that the greatest wealth of all is health; and chef Sophie Wyburd proffers probably the only way to get rich quick--in the kitchen, thanks to her five indulgent new recipes for winter.

The Nadra Tragedy
A gripping, real-life drama about the two women battling for custody of a 13-year-old girl in post-war colonial Singapore is set against religious zealotry, racial tensions, and burgeoning nationalism. As a proxy conflict between East and West, this harrowing tale is steeped in prejudice and mob violence, with the resulting court battle shaking the very foundations of the British Colonial Government. Many innocent lives were lost in the violence that followed the controversial court decision, but Maria Hertogh, also known as Nadra, was perhaps the most tragic victim. Caught between two worlds she could scarcely comprehend, the impact of the upheaval during her most impressionable years was something few of us can fathom. The author crafts a poignant and deeply researched account of the tragic affair, drawing from exhaustive investigations in both Singapore and Holland. Over 70 years since the events unfolded, the narrative resonates with a powerful relevance, serving as a stark reminder of how the mishandling of delicate matters can precipitate the unravelling of an entire society.
