nbsp In 1934 the year Calvin Littlejohn came to Fort Worth the city was a sleepy little burg This was the Jim Crow era when mainstream newspapers wouldnt publish pictures of black citizens and white photographers wouldnt take pictures in black schools In Fort Worth Littlejohn began what would become a lifelong career of documenting the black community And there would be nothing remotely related to the white cultures depictions of Amos n Andy or black kids grinning over a slice of watermelon in Littlejohns portrayal of his adopted home and the people he came to appreciate and love Littlejohns natural aptitude for drawing had been honed by correspondence courses in graphic design and a stint in a photo shop where he learned about the camera lighting and the use of shadows When Littlejohn was assigned to be the official photographer at I M Terrellthe citys only black high school at the timehis professional career was launched Unlike many segregated cities where blacks lived only in one section blacks in Cowtown lived in every quadrant of the city There was a thriving black business district with hotels restaurants a movie theater a bank and a major hospital pharmacy and nursing school And of course there were the schools and churches All would eventually be seen through Littlejohns lens Although he never set out to be the documentarian of Fort Worths black community he did what he set out to do to capture the best of a community focusing on its good times This book features more than 150 shots Littlejohn captured over the course of his career

Discover information, advice, and prices for John Calvin A Sixteenth Century, priced at 24.5 $ : it belongs to the Books & Magazines category; this product is sold by Abebooks.com and made by .
Calvinism has been widely creditedor blamedfor much that is thought to characterize the modern world for capitalism and modern science for secularization and democracy for individualism and utilitarianism But John Calvin the man has been largely ignored by historians most of us if we think of him at all tend to view him as little more than the joyless tyrant of Geneva and the source of an abstract theology as forbidding as its author This book by an eminent historian whose career has been devoted to understanding the larger patterns of early modern European history aims to make Calvin come alive by putting him back in his own time and understanding how he dealt with its problems A Frenchman an exile and a humanist in the tradition of Erasmus Calvin was unusually sensitive to the complexities and contradictions of later Renaissance culture The Calvin who emerges from this eloquent study is a surprisingly human more plausible more ecumenical and often sympathetic figure whose achievement was both more and less than and at the same time quite different from the way it has commonly been portrayed The result is a brilliant interpretation not only of Calvin but also of the Reformation and its relationship to the movements of the Renaissance

Whether writing about Jasper Johns or Jeff Koons Cindy Sherman or Richard Serra Calvin Tomkins shows why it is both easier and more difficult to make art today If art can be anything where do you beginFor more than three decades Calvin Tomkinss incisive profiles in The New Yorker have given readers the most satisfying reports on contemporary art and artists available in any language In Lives of the Artists ten major artists are captured in Tomkinss cool and ironic style to record the new directions art is taking during these days of limitless freedom As formal technique and rigorous training continue to fall away art has become an approach to living As the author says the lives of contemporary artists are today so integral to what they make that the two cannot be considered in isolationAmong the artists profiled are Jeff Koons and Damien Hirst the reigning heirs of deliberately outrageous art that feeds off the allegedly corrupting influences of capitalist glut and entertainment Matthew Barney of the pregenital obsessions Cindy Sherman who manages multiple transformations as she disappears into her own work and Julian Schnabel who has forged a second career as awardwinning film director Tomkins shows that the making of art remains among the most demanding jobs on earth

Calvin Tomkins first discovered the work of Robert Rauschenberg in the late 1950s when he began to look seriously at contemporary art While gazing at Rauschenbergs painting Double Feature Tomkins felt compelled to make some kind of literal connection to the work and it is in that sprit that for the last forty years its been his ambition to write about contemporary art not as a critic or a judge but as a participant Tomkins has spent many of those years writing about Robert Rauschenberg whom he rapidly came to see as one of the most inventive and influential artists of his generation So it seemed natural to make Rauschenberg the focus of Off the Wall which deals with the radical changes that have made advanced visual art such a powerful force in the worldOff the Wall chronicles the astonishingly creative period of the 1950s and 1960s a high point in American art In his in his collaborations with Merce Cunningham and John Cage and as a pivotal figure linking abstract expressionism and pop art Rauschenberg was part of a revolution during which artists moved art off the walls of museums and galleries and into the center of the social scene Rauschenbergs vitally important and productive career spans this revolution reaching beyond it to the present day Featuring the artists and the art world surrounding Rauschenbergfrom Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning to Jasper Johns Frank Stella and Andy Warhol together with dealers Betty Parsons and Leo Castelli and the patron Peggy GuggenheimTomkinss stylish and witty portrait of one of Americas most original and inspiring artists is fascinating enlightening and very entertaining

Sketching a new portrait of the human self in this thoughtprovoking book leading American philosopher Calvin O Schrag challenges bleak deconstructionist and postmodernist views of the self as something ceaselessly changing without origin or purpose Discussing the self in new vocabulary he depicts an actionoriented self defined by the ways in which it communicates The self says Schrag is open to understanding through its discourse its actions its being with other selves and its experience of transcendence In his discussion Schrag responds critically to both modernists and postmodernists avoiding what he calls the modernists overdetermination of unity and identity and the postmodernists selfenervating pluralism He agrees with postmodernist attacks on both the classical theory of the self as a metaphysical substance and the modern epistemological construal of the self as transparent mind yet he maintains that jettisoning the self as understood in these terms does not mean jettisoning it altogether The self as subject is not dead nor are the constitutive features of selfformation and selfunderstanding In addressing the role of culture in the dynamics of selfformation the author offers a critique of Max Webers and Jürgen Habermass view of modernity as a radical differentiation of three cultural spheres science morality and art he adds religion as a legitimate fourth cultural sphere The overview of Schrags philosophy that The Self after Postmodernity provides will appeal to readers with an interest in literary criticism and religion as well as philosophy
