Описание:
One of the youngest recipients of a MacArthur “genius” grant, Kara Walker, an African American artist, is best known for her iconic, often life-size, black-and-white silhouetted figures, arranged in unsettling scenes on gallery walls. These visually arresting narratives draw viewers into a dialogue about the dynamics of race, sexuality, and violence in both the antebellum South and contemporary culture. Walker’s work has been featured in exhibits around the world and in American museums including the Museum of Modern Art, the Guggenheim, and the Whitney. At the same time, her ideologically provocative images have drawn vociferous criticism from several senior African American artists, and a number of her pieces have been pulled from exhibits amid protests against their disturbing representations. Seeing the Unspeakable provides a sustained consideration of the controversial art of Kara Walker.
Examining Walker’s striking silhouettes, evocative gouache drawings, and dynamic prints, Gwendolyn DuBois Shaw analyzes the inspiration for and reception of four of Walker’s pieces: The End of Uncle Tom and the Grand Allegorical Tableau of Eva in Heaven, John Brown, A Means to an End, and Cut. She offers an overview of Walker’s life and career, and contextualizes her art within the history of African American visual culture and in relation to the work of contemporary artists including Faith Ringgold, Carrie Mae Weems, and Michael Ray Charles. Shaw describes how Walker deliberately challenges viewers’ sensibilities with radically de-sentimentalized images of slavery and racial stereotypes. This book reveals a powerful artist who is questioning, rather than accepting, the ideas and strategies of social responsibility that her parents’ generation fought to establish during the civil rights era. By exploiting the racist icons of the past, Walker forces viewers to see the unspeakable aspects of America’s racist past and conflicted present.

Описание: YOU ALWAYS HURT THE ONE YOU LOVE A fortenyear has passed since a dragonling fought its way out of one of dark-age Cymry's most sought-after relics, the holy Creil. For the safety of all, Nyneve was raised in ignorance of her heritage by her adopted mother and their protector. But she cannot stay hidden forever, and every passing winter brings her closer to the dramatic Ascension of her kind. When a silver-haired traveller-in-song arrives in their isolated valley, noble-born Gwanaelle and past sword-arm Eifion are forced to confront the realities and mysteries of Nyneve's true heritage. Eifion sets off on a dangerous mission back to the world (and King) he'd betrayed, leaving the daughter he loves-and the woman he dares not-in the dubious care of the mysterious Bard. ASCENSION is the second novel in Gwendolyn Beynon's 'Y Ddraig - The Dragons of Brython' series set in dark-age, Arthurian Wales and continues the adventures begun in book 1, SACRIFICE.
