Beschreibung

In "Ancient Art of the Province of Chiriqui, Colombia," William Henry Holmes meticulously examines the rich artistic heritage of the Chiriquí region, revealing intricate details about the pre-Columbian cultures that once thrived there. Holmes employs a descriptive and analytical literary style, integrating ethnographic insights and archaeological observations to present a comprehensive overview of ceramics, figurines, and decorative motifs. The book is contextualized within the broader narrative of Central American art history, providing a vital resource that connects the local artistry to regional trends and cultural practices across time. William Henry Holmes, an esteemed figure in American archaeology and a pioneer of the Smithsonian Institution, draws on his extensive fieldwork and his background in geology and art history to illuminate the importance of Chiriquí's artistic legacy. His work is informed by a profound understanding of indigenous cultures, influenced by his dedication to preserving the fragile stories embedded in ancient artifacts and his escalating interest in cultural expressions that have shaped human history. This remarkable work is a must-read for scholars, art historians, and enthusiasts of pre-Columbian studies, as it not only showcases the aesthetic beauty of Chiriquí art but also encourages readers to appreciate the intricate narratives of human creativity and resilience that continue to resonate in contemporary culture.

    Let the Music Play: How R&B Fell in Love with 80s Synths is the overlooked story of how R&B, disco and funk were transformed by the explosion of music tech in the era of ghetto blasters and Ronald Reagan. It traces how pioneers like Stevie Wonder and Herbie Hancock inspired a new generation of black musicians and producers to reinvent music with a whole new set of rules. 
    It shows how artists and producers used synths and other new music tech to reinvent R&B, concentrating on the period from 1978-86. Covering a wide range of artists, genres and scenes, including disco, LA/Solar Records, Minneapolis/Prince, boogie, New York electro/post-disco, Britfunk, Jam & Lewis, movie/promo influence and mid-80s pop. As well as covering big stars like Prince, Sade and Janet Jackson, it looks at many great artists who are often forgotten, such as Skyy, Loose Ends, Imagination, Colonel Abrams, Princess, Gwen Guthrie, Lillo Thomas, Zapp, Jonzun Crew and Yarbrough & Peoples.

    em Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
