Chiaroscuro by Helen Barolini Pdf

"A lively, lucid, and often extremely moving collection of essays."--Sandra Gilbert, author of Wrongful Death: A Memoir "Barolini's essays moved me. Their commitment, their passion, their intelligence struck me very powerfully and made them among the most incisive essays on Italian-Americana, ethnicity, and diversity in literature that I have ever read."--Fred Misurella, author of Understanding Milan Kundera: Public Events, Private Affairs and Short Time Part memoir, part social commentary, and part literary criticism, Chiaroscuro is not only profoundly original but also of crucial importance in establishing the contours of an Italian-American tradition. Spanning a quarter century of work, the essays in Helen Barolini's essays explore her personal search; literature as a formative influence; and the turning of the personal into the political. Included in Chiaroscuro is an updated re-introduction to Barolini's American Book Award-winning collection, The Dream Book: An Anthology of Writings by Italian-American Women.

Chiaroscuro by Mary W. Jensen Pdf

CHIAROSCURO is a poetry book about the contrast and balance between light and dark. It’s a journey through a crumbling world that leaves a gritty taste. It shines light on the edge of awareness where dark magic wars with childish innocence. These poems range from internal conflict to worldwide war to creatures of myth, but all follow the themes of finding havens of light in dark days, persisting despite the odds. The light is only brighter for the darkness that surrounds it.

Chiaroscuro by Sumit Datta Pdf

An artist can animate the inanimate, delight with light, sooth with shadows. His brush wails with blue, dances with green, ignites with red and flies with yellow. Nature speaks through him her age old sagas like sweet lullabies to the mankind. A painting is nothing but a silent yet vibrant message of the nature. The sky, clouds, rivers, oceans, rocks, trees, mountains and all the creatures are divine deities to the artist and he is of course the priest. Before even the advent of language and scripts men started to sketch and paint; in that sense painting is mans oldest religion. Civilized morals pervaded the earth but the Paleolithic ethos and Neolithic values still haunt an artistic soul. Art transcends human history and is immanent in every walks of human life. This book is a collection of selected works of a passionate artist who is trying to find out the deeper meaning and foundation of aesthetics and its impact on human consciousness.

Bloodline in Chiaroscuro by Gloria H. Giroux Pdf

James Danziger was a force to be reckoned with in both his personal and professional lives. From the 1940s to the 1980s, he ruled a business empire, his family, and his friends with an iron fist. An enigmatic man with warring dark and light sides, he eschewed playing by the rules and did anything to accomplish what he wantedeven murder. However, James didnt just rise from ashes. He was born, he had parents, and he grew up, but what kind of people would create such an ambitious man beyond redemption? In the early 1900s, a chance meeting between Scottish immigrant Elspeth McMorgan and Stefan Danziger occurred, which set into motion a dynasty that would rule the better part of a century. Jamess parents witnessed a great many amazing events, including the sinking of the Titanic, the suffragette movement, Prohibition, and the Great Depression before things went mad in the dark days of World War II. Through it all, the Danziger clan thrived even when the post-war fifties and sixties collided and planted the seed of power that continues to make its mark in the new millennium.

Chiaroscuro: The Mouse and the Candle by Matthew S. Cox Pdf

God’s will be done. After eleven years as a priest living by these words, Father Antonio Molinari never imagined who would teach his strongest lesson of faith―a vampire. As a member of a secret order within the Vatican, he investigates and debunks supernatural events. A case of possession brings him to the French countryside, where two local clergy offer him the chance of a lifetime. They claim to have captured a vampire, and beg his expertise in helping them study the fiend. When their monster turns out to be a little girl, cursed to spend eternity hiding from the sun, he cannot bring himself to destroy her. The priests, mistaking his compassion for diabolism, panic, and his efforts to protect an innocent child prove fatal. He awakes caught between light and darkness. Hunted by the Church he once served as well as the fiends he once destroyed, Father Molinari clings to his faith there is still room for him in God’s plan. But God is quiet, and the darkness tempting.

CHIAROSCURO by SANGITA RAJBANSHI KUNDU Pdf

"CHIAROSCURO" meaning strong contrasts between light and darkness, is a collection of 21 poems that start with the sense of dark thoughts of being in a closed space feeling trapped and dizzy where toxic people with sweet facades force us to stand on the fork of the road (those that should not be chosen) only to confine ourselves and not seek help. Often, in the dark capsule, we forget that not only do we need to repair ourselves but also the guitar, to sing a song and whistle away our problems. But, if we muster the courage and escape to distance ourselves from the negativity, silently the darkness fades and we begin to love and trust ourselves to reach the light. This whole process shows that just before the dawn of light, the darkness is long and we need to fight. The illustrations against each poem engulf and draw the reader into its world of myriad feelings to leave the heart and mind encapsulated with positivity.

The Chiaroscuro Woodcut in Renaissance Italy by Naoko Takahatake Pdf

A New York Times Best Art Book of 2018 The art of the chiaroscuro woodcut is celebrated in this groundbreaking and generously illustrated book. Chiaroscuro woodcuts are among the most immediately appealing of all historic prints, displaying exquisite invention, refined draftsmanship, technical virtuosity, and sumptuous color. Printing two or more woodblocks inked in different tones to create an image, the chiaroscuro woodcut was the earliest, most successful foray into color printing in Europe. Following its invention in Germany, the technique was first adopted around 1516 in Italy where it flourished through the sixteenth century. This novel art form engaged the interests of the most celebrated artists of the Renaissance, including Titian, Raphael, Parmigianino, and Beccafumi, and underwent sophisticated developments in the hands of such master printmakers as Ugo da Carpi, Antonio da Trento, Niccolò Vicentino, and Andrea Andreani. Featuring more than 100 prints and related drawings, this book incorporates pioneering art historical research and scientific analysis to present a comprehensive study of the subject. Essays trace its creative origins and evolution, describing both materials and means of production. Brimming with full-color illustrations of rare and beautiful works, this book offers a fresh interpretation of these remarkable prints, which exemplify the rich imagery of the Italian Renaissance.
