Sinossi

Clay Models explores the pivotal role of clay in sculpture, revealing how these preliminary models, including bozzetti and maquettes, are far more than just stepping stones. They are essential to the artistic creation process. The book highlights how clay's unique malleability allows sculptors to rapidly experiment with form and design, offering flexibility unmatched by more permanent materials. It underscores that clay modeling is an artistic practice in its own right, profoundly influencing the final artwork. The book investigates clay's properties, the evolution of clay modeling techniques, and its application in complex sculptural projects. You'll discover how Renaissance sculptors used clay for preliminary models and how 19th-century academics employed it for anatomical studies. Contemporary artists now integrate clay models with digital fabrication. The book progresses from the fundamentals of clay to historical practices and culminates in case studies demonstrating how clay models solve technical and aesthetic challenges. By emphasizing the artistic merit of these often-overlooked creations, Clay Models provides valuable insights into the sculptor's creative process. It offers a unique perspective on how these ephemeral works contribute to the broader field of sculpture and artistic creation.

Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp a...

Sequoia Maner

Breaking the global record for streams in a single day, nearly 10 million people around the world tuned in to hear Kendrick Lamar’s sophomore album in the hours after its release. To Pimp a Butterfly was widely hailed as an instant classic, garnering laudatory album reviews, many awards, and even a canonized place in Harvard’s W. E. B. Du Bois archive. Why did this strangely compelling record stimulate the emotions and imaginations of listeners?This book takes a deep dive into the sounds, images, and lyrics of To Pimp a Butterfly to suggest that Kendrick appeals to the psyche of a nation in crisis and embraces the development of a radical political conscience. Kendrick breathes fresh life into the Black musical protest tradition and cultivates a platform for loving resistance. Combining funk, jazz, and spoken word, To Pimp a Butterfly’s expansive sonic and lyrical geography brings a high level of innovation to rap music. More importantly, Kendrick’s introspective and philosophical songs compel us to believe in a future where, perhaps, we gon’ be alright.

Andrea Warner

A lively collection of essays that re-examines the extraordinary legacies of the four Canadian women who dominated ’90s music and changed the industry forever
		 
Fully revised and updated, with a foreword by Vivek Shraya
		 
“A fascinating, fun, and infuriating read.” — Tegan Quin, Tegan and Sara 
		 
In this of-the-moment essay collection, celebrated music journalist Andrea Warner explores the ways in which Céline Dion, Shania Twain, Alanis Morissette, and Sarah McLachlan became bonafide global superstars while revolutionizing ’90s music. In an era when male-fronted musical acts dominated radio and were given serious critical consideration, these four women were reduced, mocked, and disparaged by the media and became pop culture jokes, even as their albums were topping the charts and demolishing sales records.
		 
With empathy, humor, and reflections on her own teenaged perceptions of Céline, Shania, Alanis, and Sarah, Andrea offers us a revised and expanded edition of her 2015 book, providing a new perspective on the legacies of the four Canadian women who dominated the ’90s airwaves and influenced an entire generation of current day popstars with their voices, fashion, and advocacy. As the world is now reconsidering the treatment and reputations of key women in ’90s entertainment, We Oughta Know is definitively entering the chat.
