Blazing Figures

Blazing Figures

J.A. Wainwright

Wilfrid Laurier University Press
2010
sidottu
Robert Markle (1936â1990) was an infamous figure on the Canadian cultural scene for almost three decades. His paintings and drawings celebrating the female nude were deemed obscene by Ontario courts in 1965, and Markle defended them on national television, emphasizing what he considered a crucial distinction between eroticism and pornography. Although Markle was a Mohawk who employed Native symbolism in his later work, he refused to identify himself as a Native painter. Blazing Figures chronicles Markle's boyhood in Hamilton, Ontario, his early exposure to the worlds of burlesque and jazz, and, following his expulsion from the Ontario College of Art, his immersion in the Toronto world of painting and music. It recounts his emergence as a controversial expressionist painter of the figure and a beloved teacher of his craft. After his abandonment of urban life for small-town Ontario, Markle, in the last twenty years of his life, produced his greatest works and formed close friendships with his fellow painters and with public figures Patrick Watson and Gordon Lightfoot, both of whom were interviewed at length for this book. The book also takes a frank look at Markle's complex relationship with his wife and muse that survived his affairs with other women. The only full-length work written about Robert Markle's life and career, Blazing Figures is based on Markle's copious personal notes and numerous interviews with his family, friends, colleagues, and former students. This snapshot of Canadian cultural history will be of interest to scholars of art history, Aboriginal studies, and Canadian studies as well as the general reader.

Two unrelated, aspiring writers, born on the same day in the same year to parents with the same first names, grow up together and eventually gain national prominence as authors. As the years pass, the complex sexual identities of Miller Sark and Hal Pierce undermine their intense private relationship, inflicting damage that cannot be undone by the distinction of their fiction and poetry. Inspired by the lives and works of American literary giants Ernest Hemingway and Hart Crane, This Cleaving and This Burning reveals the passion and purpose behind masks of public reputation and creative expression.

PUBLISHED By CUSTOM BOOK PUBLICATIONS PREMIUM CLASSIC imprint A writer ponders a photograph taken in a Yorkshire garden in the early 1890s of his maternal great-grandparents and their seven children. His mother gave it to him when he was a boy and told him his ancestors' names. Since those seven had only four offspring and so much time has passed, he realizes he is likely the last person alive who can identify those in the picture. The few extant records show the family patriarch was a Methodist minister and that his eldest son followed in his footsteps. Another son became the writer's grandfather whose troubled relationship with his daughter failed to erase her fidelity to the collective past. Faced with a sense of obligation to his mother's loyalty and scant historical evidence, the writer attempts to meet his vanished relations the only way he knows how - by writing them down. Who were his great-grandparents, Thomas and Elizabeth, and great-uncles and great-aunt - Ernest, Bertram, Horace, Arthur, Norman, and Letitia - as well as his grandfather Clement. What might have been the personal stories of consequence they did not visibly leave behind? ... ... By the Same Author Confronted by his own mortality and that of his paintings, artist Ben Sand reproduces several modern masterpieces on the walls of an isolated French cave so they will last for 20,000 years. His efforts are mirrored by those of a Paleolithic girl, An, who, in her own cave, reveals through stroke and colour the physical violence and spiritual depths of her pre-historic environment. An's visions and techniques are directly described, while the essence of Sand's endeavours is found in compelling stories that emerge from landscape and human presence within paintings by Bruegel, Goya, Monet, and others. The result is enduring images of visual brilliance framed by lived experience that has its own place and longevity in time. The LAST ARTIST ..

J A Comenius and the Concept of Universal Education

sidottu
Originally published in 1966, this volume reappraises the educational philosophy of Comenius. Until recently the attention given to Comenius and his work concentrated on a narrow interpretation of his pedagogy which played down his pansophic theory. In the second half of the nineteenth century Germany led the way in pedagogical study and Comenius was widely accepted as having laid the foundations of a science of education. The emergence of education as an academic subject in England and the USA led to a considerable interest in the history of educational ideas and Comenius’ work.

'J.' A Memoir of John Willis Clark, Registrary of the University of Cambridge and Sometime Fellow of Trinity College

'J.' A Memoir of John Willis Clark, Registrary of the University of Cambridge and Sometime Fellow of Trinity College

Shipley A. E.

Cambridge University Press
2011
pokkari
John Willis Clark (1833–1910) devoted his life to the University of Cambridge, and this 1913 memoir by A. E. Shipley, Master of Christ's College, was a fitting tribute to a much admired man. His father was professor of anatomy, and his maternal uncle, Robert Willis, Jacksonian professor of natural philosophy. A scholar and fellow of Trinity College, his talent and energy as an administrator led to his appointment as superintendent of the museum of comparative anatomy, and he considerably improved the museum's collection. From natural history his interests were diverted in 1875 - his uncle died, leaving his monumental Architectural History of the University unfinished, and it was Clark who completed it in 1886. In 1891 he became Registrary of the University, which he remained until 1910, and was one of the best-known figures in Cambridge, involved with everything from administrative reform to student activities such as the triennial Greek play.
