Sinossi

"Women in Art" addresses the historical underrepresentation of female artists, seeking to correct the imbalance in mainstream art history. It highlights the remarkable achievements of women artists whose contributions have been minimized due to gender bias, exploring systemic barriers they faced, such as limited access to formal training and societal expectations that relegated art to a secondary pursuit. The book emphasizes that a complete understanding of art history requires acknowledging women's significant contributions, showcasing how their exclusion distorts the narrative.

 
The book progresses chronologically, examining specific historical periods like the Renaissance and the Modern era, focusing on the works of prominent female artists within each. Through archival research, artwork analysis, and biographical studies, "Women in Art" showcases evidence of gender bias in art. For instance, women were often excluded from life drawing classes, deemed inappropriate, hindering their artistic development. It also addresses ongoing debates, such as the existence of a distinct "female aesthetic," offering a balanced perspective and promoting a more inclusive art world. This approach makes it valuable for students, art historians, and anyone interested in gender studies.

Ten Telecaster Tales - Liner...

Rik Emmett

Ten Telecaster Tales remakes the idea of the “concept album.” It is music that arrives inside a book. It’s also, arguably, the most comprehensive attempt at liner notes in the history of electric instrumental fingerstyle guitar albums.

In his latest offering, Rik Emmett delves into the creative process — the roots, influences, philosophy, and spirituality involved in writing and recording. Even the story behind these stories explores creativity. (Emmett dreamed of then commissioned a guitar — a one-of-a-kind Telecaster-style guitar — then wrote and recorded with and for it.)

Playfully, beautifully, Ten Telecaster Tales lays bare an artistic journey in an act of discovery — that the storytelling inherent in writing good musical compositions translates into good storytelling about the process behind the songs, and how compositions turn into recordings. A generous amount of fairy-tale mythology is sprinkled throughout — despite the whole process being assimilated by digital technology. The notion of a “telecaster tale” implies something “vintage” at its heart, and it is humanity that glues the layers together.

Principally, though, Ten Telecaster Tales is the next logical step for Emmett after publishing his memoir, Lay It On The Line. It represents the evolution of his life story into a combination of musical composition, guitar playing, and prose. After all, writing has always been the solid backbone and lifeline of his multi-faceted journey.

Between the Lines -...

Eric Simonson

In the spring of 2022, the renowned Steppenwolf Theatre Company boldly, and perhaps cavalierly, re-emerged from the Covid-19 pandemic with a brand new, 43 million dollar, state-of-the-art theatre. Director Yasen Peyankov insisted he cast the premiere production - a brand new, adaption of The Seagull - with as many Steppenwolf ensemble members as possible. This meant coaxing one non-actor, director and writer Eric Simonson, into coming back to the stage after a 33 year absence. Taking a leap in the dark, and battling the demons of stage-fright, confidence and homesickness, Simonson took up the challenge and started on a journey into the great theatrical unknown. Part diary, part history of the Chicago Theater Renaissance, this memoir takes the reader behind the scenes of a Steppenwolf classic, and inside the head of a man desperate to rediscover the joy and craft of acting.

Schubert in Words and Music

Davinia Caddy

Franz Schubert was regarded chiefly as a composer of domestic music, and during his all-too-brief life managed to publish only a quarter of his works. Without patronage and without ever becoming well known or a virtuoso, how did Schubert manage to achieve unprecedented expressivity in song composition, or to create his chamber, symphonic and piano masterpieces? And how did he reconcile the warring elements of his tempestuous personality? This vivid biographical narrative includes selections from his most popular works including the String Quintet in C major and the ‘Trout’ Quintet, as well as the symphonies, and examples from his Lieder and stage works.
