  Beyond a mere introduction to great art, Van Gogh Has a Broken Heart is about loving to learn what art has to teach us about the wonder and struggle of being alive. 
  Did you know that:Vincent van Gogh's attempt to start an artist's colony with Paul Gauguin lasted only nine weeks, ending in his infamous "ear episode"?Pablo Picasso was a prime suspect in the disappearance of the Mona Lisa?Artemisia Gentileschi was tortured with thumbscrews to verify her testimony at her own rapist's trial?Norman Rockwell's critics said his work would never be accepted as "high art"--and he agreed? 
    
  These stories--and many more--shaped the work these artists left behind. In their art are lessons common to the human experience about the wonder and struggle of being alive: dreams lost, perspectives changed, and humility derived through suffering.?? 
  In Van Gogh Has a Broken Heart, Russ Ramsey digs into these artists' stories for readers who may be new to art, as well as for lifelong students of art history, to mine the transcendent beauty and hard lessons we can take from their masterpieces and their lives. Each story from some of the history's most celebrated artists applies the beauty of the gospel in a way that speaks to the suffering and hope we all face. 
  Images, appendixes 2 and 3, and a selected bibliography can be found in the audiobook companion PDF download

  Whether trying to become voiceover artist, train a puppy, address a crowd, or become a more successful business leader, having a deeper voice can offer a number of advantages. Studies have found that men with deeper voices are more confident and authoritative, and what they say is more easily remembered. But a deeper voice can also be beneficial for women, particularly in business and politics – as people prefer voting for politicians of both genders with deep voices. This audio program will offer 12 tips for developing a voice filled with warmth and expression, that has an even resonance and is easy on the ears, one that carries well so that people can understand and remember exactly what you’re saying, one that is flexible and natural, and has a wide-ranging deep pitch.

  Looking Out - Welsh Painting...

  Peter Lord

  The six sequential essays in this collection provide a narrative of a century and a half of Welsh painting, written with an emphasis on issues of social class and national identity. Through his earlier writing, Peter Lord has contributed to the establishment of an historical tradition of Welsh painting, but because it does not feature in the wider story of Western art history as presently told, the work revealed continues to be perceived as marginal, existing in isolation from ideas and movements in other countries. These essays break new ground by discussing the concerns of Welsh painters not only in domestic terms but also in the context of the ways in which artists in other parts of Europe and in the United States reacted to the common underlying causes of those concerns. The author challenges the idea that the work of Welsh painters is relevant only to the evolution of their own communities and, through confident and detailed analysis, validates their pictures also in terms of the arts of other Western cultures.
