Synopsis

In "Pieter Bruegel the Elder: A Study of His Paintings," Virgil Barker meticulously examines the rich tapestry of Bruegel's oeuvre, delving into the intricate symbolism and socio-political commentary embedded within his art. Barker's literary style is both scholarly and accessible, engaging a diverse audience with keen insights into Bruegel's innovative techniques and thematic preoccupations. Positioned within the Renaissance context, this study not only explores the lush landscapes and peasant scenes for which Bruegel is renowned but also addresses the artist's nuanced perspectives on human folly, moral dilemmas, and the human condition. Virgil Barker, an esteemed art historian, draws upon a lifelong passion for Renaissance art to illuminate Bruegel's significant but often overlooked contributions to the canon of Western art. His extensive research incorporates both contemporary and historical critiques, presenting a rich dialogue around Bruegel's enduring legacy. Barker's academic journey, marked by a fascination with the intersection of artistic expression and societal reflection, informs his profound understanding of the painter's work and intent. This book is an indispensable resource for students, art enthusiasts, and scholars alike, offering a comprehensive exploration that invites readers to engage deeply with Bruegel's world. Barker's insightful analysis not only enhances appreciation of the paintings but also encourages contemplation of the universal themes they present, making this study a must-read for anyone interested in the intricacies of Renaissance art.

    When asked about Picasso, towards the end of his life, what was the difference between art and eroticism, he replied meditatively and dreamily: “But there is no difference.” others feared eroticism, Picasso warned against the dangerous experiments of art: “Art is never chaste, it should be kept away from all innocent ignorant. People insufficiently prepared should never come into contact with him. Yes, art is dangerous. When he is chaste, he is no longer art. ”The notion of erotic art is surrounded by a halo of hypocritical, deceptive and dissimulating concepts: art or pornography, sex or eroticism, obscenity or originality, these attempts at distinction and determination mix too much for an objective clarification to be When can we talk about “erotic art”?

    An illuminating, insider's journey through the world of Little House on the Prairie and beyond, from Dean Butler, who starred as Almanzo Wilder on the iconic show still beloved by millions of fans as it reaches its fiftieth anniversary. 
     
     
     
    Cast just before his twenty-third birthday, Dean Butler joined Little House on the Prairie halfway through its run, gaining instant celebrity and fans' enduring affection. Now, with wit and candor, Butler recounts his passage through the Prairie, sharing stories and anecdotes of the remarkable cast who were his on-screen family. But that was merely the beginning of a diverse career that includes Broadway runs and roles on two other classic shows—Moondoggie in The New Gidget and Buffy's ne'er-do-well father, Hank, in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Coming of age during a golden era of entertainment, Butler has evolved along with it, and today enjoys success and fulfillment as a director and producer—notably of NBC Golf's Feherty—while remaining deeply loyal to Little House. 
     
     
     
    The warmth, heart, and decency that fans of Laura and Almanzo fell in love with on Little House echo through this uplifting memoir, a story, in Butler's words, about "good luck, good television, and the very good—if gloriously imperfect—people who made it so."

    The 1960s was simply the most exciting decade in music history known to man. The eruption of talent after the discovery of the Mersey Sound, spearheaded of course by the Fab Four, changed the world.
    What was special was that for a glorious and colourful short period of time, hardly a week went by without some new creative talent emerging on our airwaves, some new direction in music being created; something fresh to excite us being presented for our edification. Looking back at the charts week by week you realise that there was an explosion in song writing, a huge growth in people being interested in music and, as a result, some really great sounds were made.
    In this book we have not tried to quantify that, or even order those bands and artists who helped to change our society and our way of looking at it, but we have created a top 40 of artists that can simply not be ignored for what they did. From artists such as Cliff Richard to The Kinks and Pink Floyd, The Rolling Sones and, of course, The Beatles!
