Beschreibung

In "The Art of Aubrey Beardsley," Arthur Symons offers a penetrating exploration of Beardsley's groundbreaking contribution to fin-de-siècle aesthetics and the decadent movement. Through a richly textured prose that blends keen observation and lyrical insight, Symons examines Beardsley's oeuvre, emphasizing his innovative use of stark contrasts and intricate line work. The text is not merely an art critique; it delicately juxtaposes Beardsley's sensual themes with the prevailing cultural anxieties of the late 19th century, capturing the essence of an era steeped in both beauty and turmoil. Arthur Symons, a poet and critic known for his involvement in the symbolist movement, emerged as a crucial figure in the late Victorian literary landscape. His deep engagement with contemporary art and literature inspired him to produce this intricate analysis of Beardsley, whose works reflected Symons' own fascination with aestheticism. Symons' understanding of the emotional and psychological undercurrents in art likely stemmed from his own experiences as a writer navigating the complexities of modernity. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of art and literature, as well as those seeking to understand the rich tapestry of turn-of-the-century artistic expression. Symons not only illuminates Beardsley's artistry but also invites readers to reflect on how artistic innovations can mirror and challenge societal values.

    YouTube features a wide array of multimodal musical figurations, including fan-made music videos, musical aestheticisations of pre-circulating content, and musical self-performances. Jonas Wolf explores open-ended forms of musical creative relay on YouTube, delving into formal, imitative, affective, and (non-)institutional aspects of networked media remix and (self-)aestheticisation. Beyond creating value for non-musical fields of discourse, this study is directed at filling a gap in a largely ocularcentric domain of study. It provides a concise theory of vernacular composition within our time's total digital archive that accounts for socio-aesthetic phenomena and their relation to systems of knowledge, control, and discourse.

    The Jesus Music: A Story of Redemption as Told by Those Who Lived It shares that story: people creating something they wanted, something that never existed before. The Jesus Music explores the history, evolution, and redemptive thread of Contemporary Christian music over the last fifty years as it spans the convergence of rock and roll, country, and gospel music. As CCM grows, readers will see California artists as much a part of hippie culture as Christian culture, religious-focused bands and songs denounced by some church leaders of the day, and best-selling artists who rose, and sometimes fell from fame, as they journey through the music and experience the often delicate balances between faith, fame, mission, and humanity as they relate to Christian music.  The notable voices of Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith, Kirk Franklin, and TobyMac, as well as the stories of dozens of additional Christian artists, will hit all the right notes and explore:  - The roots of the movement, spanning from Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash to Switchfoot, Chris Tomlin, Hillsong United, and beyond.  - The stories of pioneers in the genre, including Larry Norman, Lovesong, and Stryper  - Insights into how history, culture, and technology shaped the Contemporary Christian music we hear on the radio today.  - Examples of God’s steadfast love as He uses artists despite their human mistakes and shortcomings.  - How the message of the music transforms lives and has impact beyond artistic expression. The Jesus Music is perfect for anyone looking to explore the history of the genre and discover how God can use us despite our flaws to impact the world.
