Summary

William Hogarth's 'The Analysis of Beauty' is a groundbreaking treatise that delves into the concept of beauty and aesthetics through the lens of art and design. Published in 1753, this innovative work challenges traditional notions of beauty by emphasizing the importance of variety, intricacy, and harmony in creating aesthetically pleasing compositions. Hogarth's unique blend of artistic theory and practical examples showcases his keen eye for detail and his deep understanding of the visual arts. His engaging and accessible writing style makes this book a must-read for art enthusiasts and scholars alike. The 'Analysis of Beauty' not only provides valuable insights into the creative process but also serves as a significant contribution to the discourse on aesthetics and visual culture in the 18th century. William Hogarth, a renowned English painter and engraver, was known for his satirical works and his role in establishing the British tradition of pictorial narrative. His background in the arts and his keen observational skills likely influenced the writing of this seminal work on beauty and design. For readers interested in exploring the philosophical underpinnings of artistic creation and the concept of beauty, this book is a highly recommended addition to their library.

    Throughout the 1990s, Prince feuded with his record label, Warner Bros., over his rights as an independent recording artist—and made some of the most brilliant music of his career. During that time, Jim Walsh covered Prince for the St. Paul Pioneer Press and wrote about him passionately, thoughtfully, exhaustively. Here, in real-time, is that coverage: a look back at Prince in the '90s. Walsh's newly unearthed interviews, essays, columns, and reviews make Gold Experience an essential slice of history for fans, scholars, and latecomers to the Minneapolis-born musical genius Prince Rogers Nelson.Join Walsh at the 1994 NBA All-Star game after party and release bash for the single "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World." Accompany him to the after-hours clubs Erotic City, Glam Slam, and, of course, Paisley Park. Meet Prince's wife and bandmate Mayte (and while you're at it, take in the wedding and reception and enjoy a two-hour sit-down interview with Prince). This is Prince as few have seen him, reported as only Jim Wash can: a portrait of the artist from a dizzying array of angles, captured in living color for all time.
