Описание:
A major survey of Dame Laura Knight, first female Royal Academician and popular British artist of the 20th century.
Laura Knight (1877-1970) was one of the most famous and popular English artists of the twentieth century. She was the first woman to have a solo exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts, in 1965. In the following decades her realist style of painting fell out of fashion and her work become largely overlooked. A new generation has rediscovered her work, finding a contemporary resonance in her depictions of women at work, of people from marginalized communities and her contributions as a war artist. This beautifully illustrated book, which accompanies a major exhibition at MK Gallery, provides an overview of Knight's illustrious career: from her training at Nottingham Art School at the age of 13 and her time in North Yorkshire and Cornwall, to her visits to traveller communities and a segregated American hospital. It also features her circus, ballet and theatre scenes, paintings of women during the war and her late paintings of nature. The selection of over 160 works combines celebrated paintings with less known graphic and design works, including ceramics, jewellery and costumes that reflect the artist's enduring interest in the everyday activities of people from all walks of life.

Описание: The overlooking of our own being is the root cause of all unhappiness and, therefore, the root cause of our search for happiness. This collection of contemplations, the first volume in the Essence of Meditation series, will lead readers toward their own experiential understanding of that which we all call "I," inviting them to relax into awareness and explore their true nature.
Описание: This book is an examination of personal identity, exploring both who we think we are, and how we construct the sense of ourselves through art. It proposes that the notion of personal identity is a psycho-social construction that has evolved over many centuries. While this idea has been widely discussed in recent years, Andrew Spira approaches it from a completely new point of view. Rather than relying on the thinking subject’s attempts to identify itself consciously and verbally, it focuses on the traces that the self-sense has unconsciously left in the fabric of its environment in the form of non-verbal cultural conventions. Covering a millennium of western European cultural history, it amounts to an ‘anthropology of personal identity in the West’.
Following a broadly chronological path, Spira traces the self-sense from its emergence from the collectivity of the medieval Church to its consummation in the individualistic concept of artistic genius in the nineteenth century. In doing so, it aims to bridge a gap that exists between cultural history and philosophy. Regarding cultural history (especially art history), it elicits significances from its material that have been thoroughly overlooked. Regarding philosophy, it highlights the crucial role that material culture plays in the formation of philosophical ideas. It argues that the sense of personal self is as much revealed by cultural conventions - and as a cultural convention - as it is observable to the mind as an object of philosophical enquiry.

If Your Intestines Could Talk, What Would They Say?
What if you could understand your own health through the perspective of your stomach? In this unprecedented work, Prof. Arnold Ehret gives voice to the stomach and reveals the foundation of human illness.
In this book you will learn:
About the nature of internal uncleanliness,
What happens to the human stomach if it is not properly cleaned,
The devastatingly negative effects of mucus-forming foods,
The true meaning of Ehret's famous expression "a tragedy of nutrition,"
And much more
"Ehret taught that the mind governs all organic action of the physical body instinctively, and we therefore find humankind gradually evolving from the primitive stage to a higher intellectual plane. The physical and mental welfare of millions of individuals living today are desperately searching for a truthful presentation of this knowledge found only in Prof. Arnold Ehret's message and it is therefore eagerly awaited by an expectant world Is it asking too much that you lay aside preconceived ideas, opinions, or prejudices and read the Ehret articles with an open mind, particularly his article "Tragedy of Nutrition." Hopefully the truth will eventually dawn upon you, possibly months after reading--for some portion may have indelibly stamped an imprint on your mind--and intuitively proven its correctness " -Excerpt from the book's Forward by Fred S. Hirsch (Long-time Student of Arnold Ehret and former owner of Ehret Publishing)
