Summary

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.

    Cognitive accesibility...

    This text deals fundamentally with design and architecture: the route of spatial recognition, which is the least known —or worked on— within the approaches of the autism spectrum given its difficulty in being synthesized in a paradigm or normative set. The objective is to create a framework to approach the design of environments and buildings, in order to facilitate spatial development in everyday life and, especially, in learning situations.
The spatial route, which is the project, creates:
- A set of spatial coordinates that liberates the user from the anguish of not recognizing, of not understanding the space in which he is developing. And that offer him the possibility of finding the way, directing him to where he needs or wants to go.
- Structure of the exterior and interior, with their corresponding activities placed in a comprenssible way through concepts of organization: functional and sensorial sequence of events. And creation of spaces for group and individual tasks, paying special attention to places of transition and recovery between opposite or different activities, both physical and emotional.
- The aspects that are developed in terms of recommendations are synthesized in a construct that brings together the aspects of general, functional, formal and sensory organization of plans, elevations and details. Achieving with these “person-space” adjustments a  higher quality of personal life and of its affective and learning  environment.
- Design components that in the case of autism should be considered in order to seek with the project greater facility of understanding, use and space-emotional development of people from childhood to adult life.

    From Pessimism to Promise -...

    When it comes to tech, the mainstream headlines are bleak: Algorithms control and oppress. AI will destroy democracy and our social fabric, and possibly even drive us to extinction. While legitimate concerns drive these fears, we need to equally account for the fact that tech affords young people something incredibly valuable—a rare space for self-actualization. In From Pessimism to Promise, award-winning author Payal Arora explains that, outside the West, where most of the world's youth reside, there is a significant different outlook on tech: in fact, there is a contagion of optimism toward all things digital. These users, especially those in marginalized contexts, are full of hope for new tech. 
 
 
 
Drawing on field insights in diverse global contexts such as Brazil, India, and Bangladesh, Arora describes what drives Gen Z to embrace new technologies. From Pessimism to Promise discusses the shift to relationally-driven approaches to design; how to create "algorithms of aspiration"; how to reimagine the digital space for sex, pleasure, and care; and, what we can learn from feminist digital activists and women's collectives in the Global South on shared digital provenance and value, as well as indigenous approaches to sustainability, that challenges sacred ideas on degrowth, circular economy, and the doughnut economy.

    Warhol After Warhol - Secrets...

    Long-time art critic Richard Dorment reveals the corruption and lies of the art world and its mystifying authentication process. 
 
 
 
Late one afternoon in the winter of 2003, art critic Richard Dorment answered a telephone call from a stranger. The caller was Joe Simon, an American film producer and art collector. He was ringing at the suggestion of David Hockney, his neighbor in Malibu. A committee of experts called the Andy Warhol Art Authentication Board had declared the two Warhols in his collection to be fake. He wanted to know why and thought Dorment could help. 
 
 
 
This call would mark the beginning of an extraordinary story that would play out over the next ten years and would involve a cast of characters straight out of a n novel. From rock icons and film stars; art dealers and art forgers; to a murdered Russian oligarch and a lawyer for the mob; from courtrooms to auction houses: all took part in a bitter struggle debating the authenticity of a series of paintings by the most famous American artist of the twentieth century. Part detective story, part art history, part memoir, and part courtroom drama, Warhol After Warhol is a spellbinding account of the dark connection between money, power, and art.

    Beauty of the Human Form

    This Poem is Titled 'Beauty of the Human Form.  ::  
It is a poem about the never ending fascination of People with the Human body. 
Some might say, its in our DNA. That maybe so.  
The Greeks knew how to display it, as both eroticism and as an Art form. 
Showing both sexes in the 'Perfect' perfection of Beauty! 
Unfortunately; the human form, especially the female human form has been in the last few decades 
since the new renaissance or as we call the sexual revolution or as is now the 'free society'. 
Denigrated to an object not of art but purely of desire, or descended into the more pornographic exploitive realms of decor art. 
*NO A.I. has been used in the creation of this Poem. * As for all his poems & s/stories.*
