Though central to the core of all life, the topic of motherhood has long been relegated to the private domain. Within the art world, depictions of motherhood have also been fraught. From the Middle Ages to the 20th century, Mary was depicted as the \"primal mother.\" Mothers were idealized in Western art, often as women who sacrifice themselves for the good of their children. Moreover, these idealized depictions were usually made by men. In modern and contemporary art, motherhood has been considered trivial and insignificant, not a subject for great art. Artist Lise Halle Baggesen, in her extensive art project \u003ci\u003eMothernism\u003c\/i\u003e, describes a \"mother-shaped hole\" a black hole in the history of art when it comes to the depiction of maternal care. To this day, that cliché is still largely transmitted to female artists in art school. Young women artists often receive the message that they should not make \"womb art\" and that motherhood is not an interesting theme for good art. As an artist with a womb, you are often told to choose between artistry and motherhood because both require a full commitment which would make them incompatible.\u003cbr\u003eFollowing the format of the previously published \u003ci\u003eOn the Necessity of Gardening\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMothering Myths\u003c\/i\u003e starts from the same base: an abecedary intersected by longer essays.

No more courting the dark. I've always worn my own darkness and haven't tried-I hope I haven't tried-pretending that it doesn't exist. It feels odd to identify an experience because of how happy it made me feel. Except, of course, when it comes to love. But even then, even at love, I'm wary when its happiness comes skipping along into the writing. I've never understood the impulse to write out of happiness. I'm a happy person and a funny person, but I'm not a happy writer or a funny writer. I don't believe that a piece of writing has to be sad, but it does-at least for me-have to insist on acknowledging a shadow.

She draws on a range of sources, including poetry, philosophy, and personal anecdotes, to explore the many ways in which time shapes our lives and our perceptions of the world around us.The book is beautifully written, with lyrical prose that captures the richness and complexity of Stroud's ideas. It is a thoughtful and insightful exploration of one of the most fundamental aspects of human experience, and is sure to resonate with readers who are interested in the nature of time and its role in our lives.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Drawn to the unique mountain culture and the history of fine art in and around Asheville, North Carolina, Bob started a business, Brunk Auctions, that became part of a bustling network of commerce. America's passion for collecting, buying, and selling reached remarkable heights in the following decades. Auction houses and antiques stores thrived; people paid hundreds of dollars for a humble country basket and thousands for a rare piece of folk art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this collection of compelling, compassionate essays, Bob considers specific items and remarkable situations he encountered in his long and successful work as an auctioneer and appraiser.

Bob also describes how, as his business grew to offer the finest examples of American and European art, his career often conflicted with his Mennonite background and the complexities of ownership and value.

The book takes the reader on a journey through the development of the silversmith's art, from the earliest examples of silverware to the emergence of Sheffield plate, a cheaper alternative to solid silver. The first part of the book covers the history of silver, including the production of silver in the Middle Ages and the emergence of the guild system. The book then moves on to explore the rise of the Sheffield plate industry in the 18th century, which revolutionized the silversmith's art by allowing for the creation of high-quality silver-plated items at a fraction of the cost of solid silver. Throughout the book, Okie provides detailed descriptions and illustrations of some of the most important and influential pieces of silver and Sheffield plate, including tea sets, flatware, and candlesticks. He also discusses the techniques used by silversmiths to create these pieces, as well as the social and cultural context in which they were produced and used. \"\"Old Silver And Old Sheffield Plate\"\" is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of silver and Sheffield plate, as well as for collectors and enthusiasts of antique silverware. The book is beautifully illustrated with over 100 black-and-white photographs and is written in a clear and engaging style that makes it accessible to both experts and novices alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Representing a new and innovative genre of Bible literature, this book is a Scripturally-based, yet fictionally-portrayed, account about Noah, written from the perspective of the man who built the 450-foot-long, 37-foot-tall and 75-foot-wide ark. This Noah, Preparer of the Ark recounts the creation narrative, reveals how sin began, reports the wickedness Noah saw and restates why the Lord God chose Noah to save his sons, spare his wife, and preserve his sons' wives. Noah, Preparer of the Ark also reveals how Noah and his family may have built the largest ship that had ever been designed, assembled and constructed. Noah preached righteousness, to whom and what did he preach? How did seven pairs of male and female fowl, seven pairs of male and female clean beasts, and two pairs of male and female unclean beasts enter into, existed within and exited from the ark? Noah, Preparer of the Ark will answer those questions. After reading this book readers will come away learning how Noah and his seven-member family could have prepared for, survived within and emerged from the ark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 198\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.45 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 21, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58925998113112,"sku":"9781545609071","price":30.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/1220\/7960\/files\/Ji1_aD8dlp9781545609071.webp?v=1792935371"}],"url":"https:\/\/usa-markt.com\/collections\/books-literary-collections-essays.oembed","provider":"usa-markt","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
