Still Time on Pye Pond
Still Time on Pye Pond makes an artful plea for tearing down color barriers in love and marriage. Wistful or wishful, the text sets the stage for vibrant encaustic art to portray the remnants of a segregated past. The images open on a bucolic scene and slowly focus on discarded fragments of life on an old southern farm, invaded by nature and ravaged by time. The combination of image and language brings a vigor to the story that surpasses what might be achieved with only one medium. In its colorful format, in its poignant subject matter, in its deeply rooted yet radiant geography, the Still Time on Pye Pond story is sure to resonate deeply at home in the South, and also more widely where southern realities are mirrored.

A Theory of Law and Literature
In the present work, a legal philosopher (Angela Condello) and a literaray scholar (Tiziano Toracca) develop the idea that a comparison between law and literature must be framed starting from the modes in which law and literature function. In this sense, they read law and literature as arts of compromising characterized by an analogous and yet, at the same time, profoundly different structure. Both, in fact, mediate conflicts between norms and transgressions, and more precisely between a principle of normativity (repression), on the one hand; and a principle of counternormativity (repressed), on the other hand. Through a progression in three steps, aimed at clarifying some peculiarities of law (1) and literature (2), by referring to examples of their interaction (3), the authors finally sketch some relevant hypotheses on why a placement across these two arts of compromising suggests some theoretical itineraries on their threshold.
Postcards from the Border
The watercolor sketches and poetic meditations in Postcards from the Border document the sometimes poignant, sometimes joyful, always profound encounters with the land and its inhabitants that author and artist Nancy Arbuthnot experienced on her recent visit to the U.S.-Mexico border.

The Book of a Hundred Hands
"The Book of a Hundred Hands" by the noted painter and teacher George Bridgman is the indispensable guide to realistically drawing human hands. Bridgman was born in Canada in 1865, but lived most of his life in the United States and studied under painter and sculptor Jean-L矇on G矇r繫me at the ?cole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, as well as under the famed painter Gustave Boulanger. Bridgman had a long and illustrious career as a teacher of anatomy and figure drawing at the Art Students League of New York. He taught thousands of students over many years, including numerous notable artists such as Norman Rockwell, Will Eisner, Elizabeth Cady Stanton Blake, and Archie Boyd Teater. In "The Book of a Hundred Hands", written in his succinct and practical style, Bridgman shows how expressive human hands are and how much meaning can be conveyed by their position and appearance. The illustrations in the book show all of the regions of the hands in a variety of positions and in enough detail to help any artist render hands in a more realistic and meaningful way. Every artist of every skill level who paints or draws the human figure will find Bridgman's book to be an essential addition to their reference library. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
Contemporary Artificial Art and the Law
The advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) as an "autonomous author" urges the law to rethink authorship, originality, creativity. AI-generated artworks are in search of an author because current copyright laws offer as a solution only public domain or fragile regulatory mechanisms. During the 20th century visual artists have been posing persistent challenges to the law world: Conceptual Art favoured legal mechanisms alternative to copyright law. The case of AI-art is, however, different: for the first time the artworld is discovering the prospective of an art without human authors. Rather than preserving the status quo in the law world, policy makers should consider a reformative conception of AI in copyright law and take inspiration from innovative theories in the field of robot law, where new frames for a legal personhood of artificial agents are proposed. This would have a spill-over effect also on copyright regulations.

Art Is Everywhere
In 2005 there was as a street performance in Florence that featured a white canvas with a light grey sentence reading, "Art is Everywhere", temporarily exhibited on the streets. The aim of the project was to create a temporary visual emptiness: a necessary condition for opening people's eyes so that they could see the interesting layers of scratches, marks, old posters and parts of the city that normally remain unnoticed by many.Within a few years, it had become a 2 day workshop, where participants are invited to explore the city with new eyes, and were asked to complete small assignments and to document their findings with photographs.This book is the result of that experience, to forget the challenge of defining Art but understand it as a trigger for new and different interpretations of what already surrounds us. It is a meter on how we look at things, and whether we have the right tools or not to decode it. Now more than ever art is strictly related to time. Since Art is everywhere you just have to be at the right place at the right time. But that is not enough. Not only, as Proust said, is it necessary to have new eyes to discover new things it is also indispensable that you are slowing down.See the details.Take the example of the art of Urs Fischer and his melting wax statues. Be it classical figures or realistic persons, everything is set on fire and melts slowly with time. A visitor will not see the same thing as the next one in minutes, one can only see the final horrible ending of a statue if it stays for the necessary time it takes to melt. It's the perfect metaphor for interpretation of art. Where does Art belong? Where does it start and end?Through ingenious collages and montages, the author revolves our expectations regarding the experience of art. A book for young creative minds to get inspired, an instrument for developed artist to reconsider their workshop and the end of borders between what is framed and what is not. Have you ever wondered why our senses become more alert when, say as tourists, we visit a city for the first time? And why it often seems that nothing extraordinary or exceptional ever happens along our daily routes?Is it possible to discover something wonderful and special without the necessity of visiting museums, monuments, or other places that differ from our habitual haunts? "Art is Everywhere" combines science, hands-on practices used in art workshops, and clear and simple language to answer these questions.And raise some others.
