This work is a collection of painting produced for two exhibitions of Loeb's paintings produced in 2004. That year was a break out time for the author and a time of great productivity. The poems and writings of that time were the result of personnal upheaval introspection and a lot of drinking. Relationships and feelings about padding around in America at that time are pretty well documented in the poetry and in the subject matter of the paintings. The author published poerty at a young age and has painted seriously since high school. Wounded in life by self infliction, it was natural the author would choose creativity as his balm.

Excerpt from The Poetry of Pathos Delight: From the Works of Coventry Patmore This book does not Offer a selection in the usual sense. The poetry of a master is selected before it is written, and before it is conceived; and the mind that conceives it is selected. Mr. Coventry Patmore's art and labour do but second that original distinction. Therefore it is hardly neces sary to say that my intention has not been to make a collection of best passages. What has been intended is to collect passages in. Which the poet has dealt with two things - delight and sorrow, those human and intelligible passions to which all real poetry has access, but which this poetry touches so close as to be mingled with them and changed into them.

Walter Pater’s The Renaissance – Studies in Art & Poetry by Walter Pater Pdf
The Renaissance was a significant movement in European cultural history marking the transition from the Middle Ages to modernity. It did not just revive but in many respects surpassed the ideas and achievements of classical antiquity. Renaissance thinking drew on Greco-Roman philosophy, including the famous humanist dictum of Protagoras that “Man is the measure of all things”. This thinking permeated multiple fields, from art and architecture, through politics, to science and literature. The contributions of the movement were vast. For instance, the artistic realm experienced a revolution with the advent of techniques such as oil painting with linear perspective. Developing concrete production techniques allowed for creating majestic architectural wonders. The printing and publishing trades expanded access to knowledge and ideas. Setting up popular educational institutions opened doors to learning for a broader part of society. In science, the Renaissance fostered empirical observation and experimentation. Further, the period witnessed significant advancements in banking and accounting practices, shaping the foundations of modern finance. However, we still mostly remember the Renaissance for the art of Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and other polymaths. This is a modernized version of Walter Pater's seminal 1873 book on art and poetry during the Renaissance – translating it into present-day English to improve its readability and understandability. Walter Pater (1839-1894) was an English essayist, literary and art critic, and philosopher. His work has had a lasting impact on commentary and debate in art criticism and cultural studies. Pater explores the Renaissance through analyses of the masterpieces of renowned artists like Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Botticelli. He uncovers the literature and philosophy shaping this important period in history. He also advocates “art for art’s sake” – free of moral, political, religious, or other motives and considerations.

Critical Reflections on Poetry and Painting (2 vols.) by Jean-Baptiste Du Bos Pdf
Jean-Baptiste Du Bos’ Critical Reflections on Poetry and Painting, first published in French in 1719, is one of the seminal works of modern aesthetics. Du Bos rejected the seventeenth-century view that works of art are assessed by reason. Instead, he believed, audience members have sentiments in response to artworks. Their sentiments are fainter versions of those they would feel in response to actually seeing what the work of art imitates. Du Bos was influenced by John Locke’s empiricism and, in turn, had a major impact on virtually every major eighteenth-century contributor to philosophy of art, including Voltaire, Montesquieu, Diderot, Rousseau, Herder, Lessing, Mendelssohn, Kames, Gerard, and Hume. This is the first modern, annotated and scholarly edition of the Critical Reflections in any language.

For the Enlightenment mind, from Moses Mendelssohn’s focus on the moment of surprise at the heart of the work of art to Herder’s imagining of the seismic moment at which language was discovered, it is the flash of recognition that nails the essence of the work, the blink of an eye in which one’s world changes. In Cherubino’s Leap, Richard Kramer unmasks such prismatic moments in iconic music from the Enlightenment, from the “chromatic” moment—the single tone that disturbs the thrust of a diatonic musical discourse—and its deployment in seminal instrumental works by Emanuel Bach, Haydn, and Mozart; on to the poetic moment, taking the odes of Klopstock, in their finely wrought prosody, as a challenge to the problem of strophic song; and finally to the grand stage of opera, to the intense moment of recognition in Gluck’s Iphigénie en Tauride and the exquisitely introverted phrase that complicates Cherubino’s daring moment of escape in Mozart’s Figaro. Finally, the tears of the disconsolate Konstanze in Mozart’s Die Entführung aus dem Serail provoke a reflection on the tragic aspect of Mozart’s operatic women. Throughout, other players from literature and the arts—Diderot, Goethe, Lessing among them—enrich the landscape of this bold journey through the Enlightenment imagination.
