"You know I love you, God," she prays. "I want to praise you too, but when there's lots of noise about I don't know what to do." Jenny is a shy angel who doesn't like lots of noise and rushing about. When the other angels ask her to go with them to see the newborn baby king, she decides to stay behind. In the quiet night she learns about love and nature, and that being shy doesn't matter because silent moments are special too.
When a wild chimpanzee dies giving birth, Dr. Hugo Archibald decides to raise the orphaned infant chimp alongside his human children. Jennie quickly captures the hearts of everyone she meets. This heart warming novel forces us to take a closer look at the species that shares 98 per cent of our DNA and ask ourselves: what does it mean to be human?
By carefully documenting how space was made for Jenny - a child who didn't fit the school mold - this book offers a renewed sense of human possibility and an attainable vision of what schools can be. The authors demonstrate that it is only by attending to each and every child that schooling can begin to achieve its most noble aim: equality. Readers are introduced to Prospect's educational philosophy and descriptive processes, with details about what the processes are and what they offer teachers, parents, and children. Jenny's story is told through these processes - ways of looking at children and their work that make it possible to know each child as a person, a thinker, and a learner. While Jenny's journey through elementary school is the heart of the book, this is also the story of a big urban school serving many immigrant families. ""Jenny's Story"" offers readers a compelling look at how teachers, staff, and the principal successfully worked with a richly diverse community. It also examines what it means to ground teaching in knowledge of the particular, careful observation, and collective inquiry, as well as how to challenge school policies and mandates that work against children's well being and dignity.
Regarded as one of Dreiser's best novels, Jennie Gerhardt is here recaptured as it was originally written, restoring it to its complete, unexpurgated form.
Oxyrhynchus is a city in upper Egypt that was established in 332 BC and is considered one of the most important archaeological sites ever discovered. Saville references the layer upon layer of discoveries at Oxyrhynchus in her new body of work, the final effect being a mysterious narrative of layered bodies and images. The dozen new works presented are a combination of oil, charcoal, and pastel on canvas and a combination of landscape and figures weaving throughout each other.
Thirteen years after her first Rizzoli monograph, British artist Jenny Saville releases this much-anticipated volume--her most comprehensive to date--including many never-before-published paintings. One of the most renowned living figurative painters of our time, Saville has set auction records and her highly sensual canvases invite us to consider the female form in all its glory. Great artists are of their moment, but push boundaries to revitalize our world. The British artist Jenny Saville is best known for painting monumental close-ups of large nude women exposing things that are usually left unshown: flab, fat, bulge. Today, when the body has never mattered more or counted less, Saville is undoubtedly the painter for our times. Saville has specialized in subjects on the margins of society: the obese, the disfigured, and transsexuals; yet under her fluctuating light and painstaking hues and layers, her subjects transcend their strangeness to take on a universal quality. Among artists of her generation, Saville is unusual in her devotion to figurative painting. This much-anticipated volume unites new work with almost all of Saville's paintings and drawings to date, many of them unpublished works. Published in association with Gagosian Gallery, the book also features a complete and illustrated chronology of the artist's career. A conversation with acclaimed American photographer Sally Mann, and essays by art critic Mark Stevens and Gagosian Director, London Richard Calvocoressi complete the volume.
This volume spans Saville's illustrious career, showcasing sixty paintings and drawings, many of which have not previously been displayed in public. Jenny Saville, an original member of the acclaimed Young British Artists, is one of today's leading painters. Her large-scale portraits and nudes challenge accepted ideals of beauty and celebrate the human form. Published to coincide with a major international exhibition, this handsome retrospective is designed to be accessible and appeal to a broad audience. In-depth essays evaluate Saville's development of her technique, marking key moments and her strong connections to art history and the influence of forerunners including Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Titian, Vel zquez, Van Dyck, and Rembrandt, as well as twentieth-century artists Picasso, De Kooning, Bacon, Freud, and Auerbach. Spanning the full spectrum of her career, this volume includes around sixty paintings and drawings, many on a monumental scale, as well as many that have never previously been published.
In her introduction to Jenny Browne's New and Selected Poems, Naomi Shihab Nye writes, "The poems are switchboards of care extending in so many directions, beamed up to high, but always with the subtlety of idiosyncratic awareness"-it's fascinating to fathom how she gets from one place to another. A startle, a dazzle of impulses enlivening the spirit . . . " Browne's poems ask personal questions: How did we get here? Where are we going? Can we walk there together? From love letters to strangers to extended meditations on slow-moving rivers, these poems surprise in their fidelity to the strangeness of being alive. In the new poems included here, this heightened awareness is set against the landscape of a planet undergoing global climate change, quickly becoming inhospitable. Resisting the poles of paralysis and apocalypse, Browne travels through extreme and unfamiliar landscapes, considering the unthinkable, negotiating the past, and ultimately reimagining the future and our human place in it.

A collection of Jenny Holzer’s texts, presented as layout drawings for stone benches, that trace and illuminate our complex world Published on the occasion of the exhibition Jenny Holzer: Light Line, a reimagining of the artist’s landmark 1989 installation at the Guggenheim Museum in New York, this artist’s book will provoke and inspire. Each page features a phrase chosen by Holzer from three of her text series—Truisms, Living and Survival—in the form of drawings she has used for many years to create her iconic stone benches. All interior pages are vellum, a physical and conceptual layering that invites novel readings of Holzer’s work. This unique volume extends her practice with a material presentation of real and imagined works that weaves new connections through its pages. Holzer harnesses the power of words to convey joy, sorrow, contemplation, rage and everything in between. Her work presents writing—both her own and that of others—in an array of mediums, including electronic signs, plaques, paintings and stonework. Starting in the 1970s with her New York City street posters, and continuing through her more recent light projections, mobile LED signs and experiments with artificial intelligence, her practice rivals ignorance and violence with humor, kindness and courage. The public dimension is integral, and the surprising sites where her work appears range from city streets to stadium scoreboards, memorials, T-shirts and condom wrappers. The thought-provoking and indelible words she chooses highlight the pressing issues of our time. For over 40 years, Jenny Holzer (born 1950) has presented her work in public places and international exhibitions, including Times Square, the Venice Biennale and the Guggenheim Museums. She received the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale in 1990, the US State Department’s International Medal of Arts in 2017 and the Wall Street Journal’s Art Innovator Award in 2022. She lives and works in New York.
