Sinossi

Jazz Evolution explores the vibrant history of jazz dance, revealing its profound impact on music and theater. Originating from African movement traditions and evolving through social dances in African American communities, jazz dance became a powerful form of cultural preservation and resistance. The book examines its journey through minstrelsy, vaudeville, and Broadway, highlighting the complex interplay of cultural exchange and appropriation. The book highlights how jazz dance mirrors the struggles and triumphs of African Americans, challenging conventional understandings of jazz as solely a musical form. It begins by establishing the historical context, tracing the roots of jazz dance and introducing key figures. It progresses to investigate the technical aspects of various styles and analyzes the contributions of influential choreographers. The final section examines the integration of jazz dance into theater and music. This exploration provides critical insights into the African American experience and the evolution of popular culture. It emphasizes the voices of African American dancers and choreographers, often marginalized in traditional accounts. By examining the social and historical contexts, Jazz Evolution sheds light on issues of race, class, and gender in American society, making it an invaluable resource for anyone interested in performing arts, music, and cultural history.

    This third volume of Élie Faure's History of Art is a masterful immersion into the essence of the Renaissance, that era of creative rebirth in which art transcends the Middle Ages to embrace individualism and humanism. Through vivid analysis of Italian centers such as Florence, Rome, and Venice, the author deciphers the aesthetic revolutions carried by giants like Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, and Titian. He explores the evolution of painting, sculpture, and architecture, influenced by discoveries such as the printing press and intense philosophical debates. Faure brilliantly connects Italy with Northern Europe, analyzing Flemish, French, and German schools and their fruitful exchanges with the South. Contrasts between Gothic mysticism and Renaissance sensuality emerge, revealing an art in search of harmony between form, color, and spirit. Passionate and erudite, this volume inspires a desire to rediscover this abundant period, a bridge to modernity. Ideal for art and history enthusiasts, in reading or listening, it awakens the soul and imagination.

    In a time where the world seems more lost and confused, it’s important that we see clearly through the veils of the illusion to the Truth of God’s Love. 
      
    Inspiring words can sometimes be a catalyst to the opening of our Heart as we seek the ‘safe place’ externally. But it’s in the KNOWING that our Safe Place is within each of us and in our connection with God. We call this; The Christ Consciousness. 
      
    These song lyrics that I’ve written are filled with the Divine Mother’s nurturing and the Holy Father’s strength while I reach out for the Peace, Joy and Love of my return to the ultimate source of that love; to finally be Home with God.

    Oscillating between the majesty of the Greco-Byzantine tradition and the modernity predicted by Giotto, Early Italian Painting addresses the first important aesthetic movement that would lead to the Renaissance, the Italian Primitives. Trying new mediums and techniques, these revolutionary artists no longer painted frescoes on walls, but created the first mobile paintings on wooden panels. The visages of the figures were painted to shock the spectator in order to emphasise the divinity of the character being represented. The bright gold leafed backgrounds were used to highlight the godliness of the subject. The elegance of both line and colour were combined to reinforce specific symbolic choices. Ultimately the Early Italian artists wished to make the invisible – visible. In this magnificent book, the authors emphasise the importance that the rivalry between the Sienese and Florentine schools played in the evolution of art history. The reader, in the course of these forgotten masterworks, will discover how the sacred began to take a more human form, opening a discrete but definitive door through the use of anthropomorphism, a technique that would be cherished by the Renaissance.
