Summary

The Florentine master Jacopo da Pontormo is the greatest exponent of Mannerism, an artistic style that predominated Italy at the end of the Renaissance. His works broke away from the prevailing classicism of his time to create a more personal, expressive technique. He is famous for his use of sinuous poses, elongated forms and ambiguous perspective. The agitated, almost neurotic emotionalism of his works offers an unusual departure from the balance and tranquillity of the High Renaissance. Pontormo’s extraordinary achievements anticipated the Baroque, as well as the radical work of El Greco. Delphi’s Masters of Art Series presents the world’s first digital e-Art books, allowing readers to explore the works of great artists in comprehensive detail. This volume presents Pontormo’s complete paintings, with concise introductions, hundreds of high quality images and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)

Let's explore more about this intriguing book:    Background:  Rudyard Kipling, known for his iconic works such as "The Jungle Book" and "Kim," visited the United States in the late 19th century.  His journey inspired him to write "American Notes," which provides a unique perspective on American culture, society, and people.  Content:  Kipling's travelogue covers various aspects of American life, including politics, landscapes, and social interactions.  He offers candid observations, sometimes critical and sometimes appreciative, as he explores different cities and regions.  The book reflects Kipling's wit, keen eye for detail, and ability to capture the essence of a place.  Legacy:  "American Notes" remains a valuable historical document, shedding light on the late 19th-century United States.  Kipling's impressions, whether accurate or colored by his own biases, contribute to our understanding of America during that era."

    Druid Theatre - Fifty Years

    This fully illustrated and authorised history marks fifty years of one of Ireland's most ground-breaking and successful theatrical ensembles. Founded in 1975, Druid is a touring theatre company, anchored in the West of Ireland and looking to the world.
    Druid began as a bold idea: to create Ireland's first professional theatre company outside of Dublin. There were few resources with which to achieve such an undertaking in the West of Ireland in 1975. Through sheer dedication, and with the support of the Galway community, founders Garry Hynes, Marie Mullen and Mick Lally – alongside a protean ensemble of actors, crew and supporters – made this bold idea a reality. That reality has since become an international success story of extraordinary dimensions.
    In this comprehensive history of the company, Patrick Lonergan weaves together decades of personal stories, archival material, anecdotes, memories and performances into a fascinating and illuminating portrait of one of the most vital institutions in Ireland's theatrical landscape.

    Living in the shadow of a famous parent is never easy. But having to endure the legacy of a legend whose music and life transformed a nation is even harder. As if the unwanted attention from fans, reporters, and endless onlookers isn't enough, there is intense pressure of expectation to keep up the public image of the parent. Fortunately, there are a few examples of children of celebrities who dare to forge their own identities. While it is never easy and often takes a great deal of struggle and independent thinking, there are examples of success stories. One of the best examples is the life of Hank Williams, Jr. 
    The story of Hank Williams, Sr. is the tale of a tragic battle between drugs, alcohol, and infidelity. Unable to control his insecurities, Williams drank constantly, and his drunkenness impacted every relationship he had. Yet, the son's story is not the story of the father. While the life of Hank Williams, Jr. is a complex drama of struggle, resurrection, heartbreak, and success; it is a far cry from the self-destructive spiral of the legacy left to him by his father. Today, Hank Williams, Jr. is one of the most famous and admired entertainers of the century, far exceeding the sales and attention bestowed on his father. He has become a legend in his own right who continues to influence the landscape of country music in ways his famous father never could.
