Sinossi

Forgotten Sculptors explores the untold stories of talented sculptors from the 19th and 20th centuries who, despite their artistic merit, have been historically overlooked. The book delves into the complex reasons behind their marginalization, showing how artistic success hinges on more than just talent. It highlights the impact of social forces, shifting artistic movements, and personal circumstances in shaping an artist's reputation. Discover how some sculptors pushed boundaries and innovated techniques, enriching our understanding of art, yet remain largely unknown. This biography examines how artistic recognition is influenced by historical context, social networks, and individual agency. Through detailed case studies, the book unveils each sculptor's training, key works, and critical reception. Starting with an introduction to artistic marginalization, it progresses through individual stories, and concludes with broader reflections on artistic fame. By focusing on these "forgotten sculptors," the book challenges traditional art history narratives and promotes a more inclusive appreciation of diverse artistic expression.

    The web of lies thickens, and the night beckons! Waking up in the middle of the night, Jesse calms his heartbeat, his mind burning with one query, and his curiosity knowing no bounds!  
    He can still remember the carrion, the scent of blood, and the mutilated corpse of his father in the jail. Shadows whisper to him, uttering threats and he knows if he goes down this path, he would have to face death itself…maybe if he is lucky, a bullet to his arm is all he would take…or perhaps he would join his father!  
    Meet Jesse Banerjee, the firstborn of Steve Banerjee, the unrelenting son who is hell-bent on proving that his father’s alleged suicide wasn’t a self-killing act, born out of fear of the life sentence but rather something more sinister. No matter what the jury said, he could read between lines. And now, he realizes that someone powerful is behind his father’s untimely demise. And if Jesse doesn’t give up this path, he would soon meet a fate very grim…  
    Join Jesse who embarks on a journey to uncover the criminal faces behind the masks! Death is behind him, and if he is lucky, it will not catch him unaware and swiftly...that is if he is careful. 
    Many stories have been told about Chippendales, all of them are mostly the narratives of the perpetrators that stole the empire, and cleverly they have managed to make their story very believable and credible.  
    Silenced by intimidation, threats, and a corrupt Justice system, not anymore. 
     For the first time, Jesse is revealing the true story in Chippendales True Crime.

    A raw and riveting coming-of-age story about the wild love of teenage friendships and the casual oppression of nineties rape culture. 
     
     
     
    Emelia Symington-Fedy grew up with her girl gang on the railroad tracks of a small town in British Columbia. Unsupervised and wild, the girls explored the power and shortcomings of "best" friendships and their growing sexuality. 
     
     
     
    Two decades later an eighteen-year-old girl is murdered on Halloween on the same tracks, and Symington-Fedy returns to her hometown to stay with her mother, who is fearful of a murderer at large. 
     
     
     
    While the media narrows its focus on how the girl dared be alone on the tracks, Symington-Fedy slowly comes to terms with the mistreatment of her own teenage body. Giving a bold and often darkly humorous first-hand account of nineties rape culture and the sexual coercion that still permeates girlhood, Symington-Fedy holds her hometown close and accountable and exposes the subtle ways that misogyny shows up daily.
