The Adventures of Merlin the Pit Bull Wizard
Your entire family will fall in love with the big-hearted, goofy, gentle red-nosed pit bull who has the most beautiful green eyes and whose tail is like a wand with magical powers. When Merlin goes into a playful bow, then raises his tail over the top of his head, a green laser light that matches the color of his eyes shines out from the tip of his tail, and that's when something magical is going to happen. Merlin also has the ability to understand what humans say, which tends to get him into trouble at times. Merlin has two best friends, Miracle and Rocky, both rottweilers who live with him at the ranch, and they do everything together. Merlin uses his powers to help a rottweiler in trouble at a shelter, who turns out to be Miracle, and saves the life of a newborn calf, which are a few of the adventures Merlin has. There are many mysterious things that happen out on the ranch that Merlin has to face along with his two best friends. Merlin also has a very close relationship with the guardian and feels he needs to protect her as well. Merlin has other friends that show up from time to time, a husky named Kiya, who is Merlin's wizard elder and provides him guidance, and a big barn Owl that keeps showing up. Merlin's magical tail will also help defend against the dangers that meet up with him, as well as the dangers that lie ahead. He will not have to fight these alone, however; the guardian and his friends will be right there beside him. So join Merlin as he goes on some
The Grand Valley
In the final, absorbing volume of his Three Paintings Trilogy, philosopher and critic Morgan Meis explores the art of Joan Mitchell and in particular one of her crowning achievements, the Grand Valley series. Mitchell, a twentieth-century American artist who found herself living and working in France, is a figure of contradictions-at once formidable and fragile, solitary and hungry for human connection.The Grand Valley paintings, born from a memory not her own, become a focal point for understanding Mitchell's approach to abstraction and landscape. Meis examines the pain and, at times, even violence within Mitchell's work, connecting it to her turbulent life and the critical interpretations of her art (including her struggle to be treated as seriously as her male peers).As with the previous acclaimed volumes in this trilogy, Meis begins with a work of art and moves outward toward history, philosophy, and religion to provide context and insight. With his characteristically disarming wit and linguistic playfulness, Meis investigates the idea of the artist's self, drawing upon the mystical aspects of Carl Jung's thought and discovering parallels between Mitchell and obsessive creators like Claude Monet and Gertrude Stein.Humorous and accessible, yet always willing to grapple with the most vexing and challenging issues of human finitude, The Grand Valley brings an innovative trilogy to a rich and satisfying conclusion.

Biblioteca Angelica Ms. 1551
This volume consists of three sets of watercolor drawings, each depicting non-Europea peoples or places in Asia and the Americas. The volume belonged to the famous collector and antiquarian Camillo Massino (1620-1677), and was part of a large donation to the library by his descendants in the 19th century. This is the first in-depth investigation of the three series in terms of materials or manufacture, possible relations to one another or other contemporaneous illustrations, and their role in advancing understanding of the depicted peoples. Clues within the drawings, their style and content suggest not only new interpretations, but specific links between and among them, and likely origins, placing them squarely into the most intense period in the early modern era of European interest in these cultures.

Optical Corrections in the Sculpture of Donatello
There is considerable evidence for Donatello's use of optical corrections that scholars have largely ignored. It may come in some degree from an unwillingness to accept the idea that such visual effects, developed only in the 16th century & not common until the Baroque, were even possible in the early Renaissance. This study, by its arguments & its photographic evidence, may reopen the discussion of optical corrections in the work of Donatello &, perhaps, in that of some of his contemporaries & followers as well. Contents: Introduction; Donatello's Sculpture in the Round; The Reliefs; Bibliography of Frequently Cited Sources; & 64 black & white photos of Donatello's sculptures.

After Caliban
In After Caliban, Erica Moiah James examines the rise of global Caribbean artists in the 1990s and their production of a decolonized art history for the Caribbean. She draws on Aim矇 C矇saire's rewriting of Shakespeare's The Tempest, in which Caliban becomes the sole author of his own story, dissolving his fixed position as colonized in relation to Prospero as colonizer. James shows how visual artists such as Marc Latamie, Janine Antoni, Belkis Ay籀n, Edouard Duval-Carri矇, and Christopher Cozier followed C矇saire's model by employing a range of practices and methodologies that refused marginalization. Just as C矇saire decolonized The Tempest, so too did these artists, who crafted a decolonial aesthetic that redefined their own cultural and historical narratives and positioned art as a key pathway toward a postcolonial future. By providing the foundation for a postcolonial, post-Caliban art world, these artists redefined the critical and popular notion of contemporary Caribbean art. At the same time, James argues, they fulfilled C矇saire's dream for a postcolonial Caribbean while creating a nonhegemonic art historical practice that exists beyond modern binaries and borders.
In Praise of Make-Up
Why do women wear make-up? Their answers are often evasive: "To feel good? Could they stop wearing make-up? "No!" The idea of no longer wearing make-up can even be perceived as an attack on identity.In an elegant, luminous style, the author plunges us into a history of make-up that demonstrates the importance of the cosmetic gesture since human beings became civilized. "S'arranger" is an art of compromise, of openness, a benevolent game rather than a deceptive artifice. Behind a lipstick or mascara, there's a whole way of being, more nuanced, more enchanted, less violent than that of men.

Provoking the Freeport Magic
How practices that enact the art of constructing open secrets in markets can be mobilized to unfold magic making. How is it that we come to not know things? Oftentimes, it has to do with that meticulous work that has been mobilized to keep us ignorant. It is therefore intimately linked to the act of keeping secrets. In this work, Jessica Inez Backsell explores a very particular form of secret keeping which paradoxically does not only require non-knowledge to be produced. Instead, the author looks at a secret whose power resides in its exposure and the fact that it to some extent is known. What Backsell alludes to is the (not so commonly referred to) open secret. These are secrets which have a rather special connection to cognitive judgment. They require us to see while we do not see or perhaps even better--to notice but not openly acknowledge. They in other words hover as forms of semi-knowledge, never fully rescinded yet neither completely present. To explore this, Backsell turns to a contemporary setting that is very apt for studying practices that produce semi-knowledge--the so called luxury freeport. Simply put, the luxury freeport is a warehouse where collectibles, such as art, are safely stored in a legal threshold which makes them non-susceptible to tax liabilities. It is also widely known for being shrouded in a clandestine fog. Backsell argues that this is a status which is enacted through the construction of boundaries that on the one hand sparks frustration yet paradoxically also kindles curiosity. More specifically, it actualizes the effects of withdrawal and displays what practices can be mobilized to produce mysteries from the openly contested. Such practices therefore also reverberate into the broader context of the art market as they presuppose its "mythmaking" to unfold.
