Modern Japanese Painting Techniques
This book makes it easy to create and admire wonderful Japanese-style paintings and portraits! Modern Japanese-style paintings are recognizable by their restrained use of three-dimensionality and perspective, reliance upon expressive lines, and the bold use of color to direct the viewer's eye. There are other ways that artists imbue their work with Japanese- inspired attributes, including through the skillful use of shape, texture, and facial expression. Author Shinichi Fukui introduces readers to 7 notable modern Japanese artists (Kazuo Kawakami, Chiaki Takasugi, Miho Tanaka, Ryohei Nishiyama, Jose Franky, Ryohei Murata, and Keiji Yano) who specialize in shin hanga-style portraiture of Japanese women. He then presents instructions to create 21 different original paintings--from sketching models, preparing and mixing paints, blocking in color, and rendering fine details. Using these techniques, and a bit of acrylic paint, readers will be able to create eye-catching works of art that express a timeless Japanese aesthetic.

Radical Worker
Timothy Speed - neurodivergent artist, poverty theorist, and relentless disruptor - throws himself between assembly line, boardroom, and bureaucratic frontline. As a Radical Worker, he refuses the paycheck as measure of worth, working instead by moral coherence, ecological resonance, and existential sense. Whether infiltrating corporations undercover or applying to run Germany's state TV, Speed exposes the deep protocols of a system that converts dignity into obedience and creativity into currency. For the Artistic Research community, this book proves that art isn't commentary - it's infrastructure. Research happens in real-time, in real life. For Critical Autism Studies, it's a rare inside-out account: autistic intensity, rule clarity and focused resistance sharpen into a tool that cuts through institutional myth. For anyone forced to work - or forced not to - this is a living roadmap: self-determined labour, basic income, and the politics of commoning are not just imagined here - they're practiced, tested, lived. Speed flips the script: poverty is not a lack, but a refusal to play by a broken game. Forced labour is social exclusion. And the true metric of wealth? The time left untouched by the system's noise. Radical Worker is manifesto, fieldwork, and survival guide - a call not to adapt, but to remake the world from the bottom up.
'Our Little Gang'
Through text and full-color illustrations, uncovers the lives and times of the unruly Vorticists, whose innovative abstract artworks shattered early twentieth-century conventions. The Vorticists, a rebellious cohort of young artists in early twentieth-century England, defied the conventions of the art world with their distinctive abstract creations. Despite the brevity of their existence, from 1911 to 1914, their startling innovations left an indelible mark on English art history. In this book James King explores the personalities and lives of these colorful individuals, capturing the tumultuous environment in which they thrived. The narrative presents biographies of the group's members, such as Jessica Dismorr, Wyndham Lewis, William Roberts, Helen Saunders, and Edward Wadsworth--"our little gang," as Ezra Pound called them--highlighting personal conflicts and providing a concise, highly readable history of the movement. This book is ideal for art enthusiasts, historians, and anyone intrigued by avant-garde movements of the early twentieth century.
Mass Performance
Mass Performance: Systems and Citizens examines mass performance systems from the first major festival of the French Revolution through the democratic and socialist movements of the nationalizing nineteenth and twentieth centuries in Europe, to totalitarian communist and socialist regimes in the twentieth century, ending with contemporary North Korea. While other scholars have studied specific mass performances, this study synthesizes the phenomenon across centuries and countries, focusing on its systemization. Modern nations defining or redefining their identities not only organized mass performances, but also planned to make those performances a permanent component of nationhood. Kimberly Jannarone reveals that mass performance systems, from synchronized gymnastics to choreographed rallies, encapsulate ideals and debates within emerging nations about the relationship of citizens to each other and to their leaders, playing a generative and reflective role in the culture and politics of the modern era. Mass Performance analyzes the specifics of performance choreography and design, the organizational planning and thinking behind the systems, the material circumstances of each system's emergence, and the broader intellectual milieu in which they developed. Although not a comprehensive study of such events, Jannarone's analysis of the selected mass performance systems yields new theoretical perspectives on these phenomena, a central focus of her study being how political leaders find ways to create a physically coordinated mass body politic, even during times of hardship and war. By interpreting and historicizing mass assemblies of bodies, this study analyzes the choreographies and organizations that brought thousands of people together as an ensemble and kept them together in meaning-making motion.

The Book of Caligomos Art
The Book of Caligomos Art introduces an original philosophical and artistic theory known as Caligomos Art Philosophy (C'ArtP). This theory interweaves three core concepts: Caliginosity (the obscure, shadowy, and mysterious dimensions of existence), Kosmos (the interconnected and harmonious order of the universe), and Metaxy (the transformative space "in-between" opposites). These core ideas form the foundation for a new way of approaching art, creativity, and cultural understanding.At the heart of the book is a triadic framework of Transcendence, Paradigm, and Reality (T/P/R), which serves as a lens through which all artistic creation and human experiences can be interpreted. Drawing from ancient philosophies, including those of Plato, Heraclitus, Lao Tzu, and Buddhist and Daoist traditions, alongside modern thinkers like Ken Wilber, Carl Jung, and Ned Herrmann, the book offers a vision of how art can act as both a spiritual and cognitive map for human evolution.The book unfolds across multiple dimensions: Historical exploration from Mesopotamia to a speculative future, Symbolic geometry (Torus, Pyramid, Rhombohedron), Dualities and paradoxes such as Dialetheia and Enantiodromia, Philosophical synthesis between rationalism and intuitionism, Case studies and critiques of artworks, A gamified application of C'ArtP in the form of a board game called C'Elysium, designed to help players navigate life through creativity.With its poetic language, interdisciplinary structure, and ambitious vision, The Book of Caligomos Art invites readers-artists, philosophers, educators, and visionaries-to transcend dichotomies and engage in a more holistic and creative interaction with reality.

Agnès Varda

Innovative Technology in Art Conservation
Innovative Technology in Art Conservation provides one of the first ever critical assessments of innovation in conservation science and questions what role it should play in conservation and conservation ethics.Written in language understandable for the non-technical reader, the book begins with a brief history of so-called science-based conservation, which is based on chemistry, physics and engineering, and examines how it influences conservation ethics and conservation decisions. It considers the concepts of originality and original appearance, and how people see and perceive objects, looking in particular at the results of the relatively new technology of eye-tracking. Wei then moves on to critically examine advanced technologies such as colour modelling, hyperspectral imaging, texture mapping, virtual retouching and digital reproductions and considers what they offer for determining original appearance of artworks and other cultural heritage objects. The book concludes with some reflections on the future of conservation and science-based conservation, calling for more thoughtful consideration of what it is that conservation scientists are offering, and why and for whom it is being offered.Innovative Technology in Art Conservation is essential reading for academics and students working in conservation and conservation science. The book will also be of interest to the international community of conservators and cultural heritage professionals who must make decisions about whether to use advanced technologies in their practice.
Performance
This book focuses on performance and performance-based artworks as seenthrough the lens of conservation, which has long been overlooked in the largertheoretical debates about whether and how performance remains.Unraveling the complexities involved in the conservation of performance, Performance: The Ethics and the Politics of Conservation and Care (vol. 1)brings this new understanding to bear in examining performance as an object ofstudy, experience, acquisition, and care. In so doing, it presents both theoreticalframeworks and functional paradigms for thinking about--and enacting--theconservation of performance. Further, while the conservation of performance isundertheorized, performance is nevertheless increasingly entering the artmarket and the museum, meaning that there is an urgent need for discourse onhow to care for these works long-term. In recent years, a few pioneering conservators, curators, and scholars have begun to create frameworks for the longtermcare of performance. This volume presents, explicates, and contextualizestheir work so that a larger discourse can commence. It will thus serve the needsof conservation students and professors, for whom literature on this subject issorely needed.This interdisciplinary book thus implements a novel rethinking of performancethat will challenge and revitalize its conception in many fields, such as art history, theater, performance studies, heritage studies, and anthropology.
Painters in the Valley
This volume provides a much-needed reference work on artists active in the Albuquerque, New Mexico area from 1880 to 1990. It is a prime source of biographical information on many talented but little-known artists. Before 1950 many painters saw Albuquerque as a jumping-off point for the art colonies of Taos and Santa Fe. But noted artists such as Gerald Cassidy, Carl Redin, Carl Von Hassler and Esquipula Romero de Romero stayed on in the city for extended periods. After World War II Albuquerque came into its own as a leading center of artistic activity. It was home to innovative work that included the abstractions of Raymond Jonson and Richard Diebenkorn, the lithography done at the Tamarind Institute, and computer-generated art. The University of New Mexico and Sandia National Laboratories provided inspiration and employment for many artists. Further details on painters, their work, and the networks that supported them will be found in artist entries in this volume as well as in the Introduction.

Onto each portrait I have painted the words, the story, of the sitter. I am shining a light on addiction.And still we love.
