Bloomsbury and France: Art and Friends
Mary Ann Caws , and Sarah Bird Wright Manufacturer: Oxford University Press, USA ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items: ASIN: 0195117522 |
Book Description
"Bloomsbury on the Mediterranean," is how Vanessa Bell described France in a letter to her sister, Virginia Woolf. Remarking on the vivifying effect of Cassis, Woolf herself said, "I will take my mind out of its iron cage and let it swim.... Complete heaven, I think it." Yet until now there has never been a book that focused on the profound influence of France on the Bloomsbury group. In Bloomsbury and France: Art and Friends, Mary Ann Caws and Sarah Bird Wright reveal the crucial importance of the Bloomsbury group's frequent sojourns to France, the artists and writers they met there, and the liberating effect of the country itself. Drawing upon many previously unpublished letters, memoirs, and photographs, the book illuminates the artistic development of Virginia and Leonard Woolf, Clive Bell, David Garnett, E. M. Forster, Lytton Strachey, Dora Carrington, and others. The authors cover all aspects of the Bloomsbury experience in France, from the specific influence of French painting on the work of Roger Fry, Duncan Grant, and Vanessa Bell, to the heady atmosphere of the medieval Cistercian Abbaye de Pontigny, the celebrated meeting place of French intellectuals where Lytton Strachey, Julian Bell, and Charles Mauron mingled with writers and critics, to the relationships between the Bloomsbury group and Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Gertrude Stein, Andre Gide, Jean Marchand, and many others. Caws and Wright argue that Bloomsbury would have been very different without France, that France was their anti-England, a culture in which their eccentricities and aesthetic experiments could flower. This remarkable study offers a rich new perspective on perhaps the most creative group of artists and friends in the 20th century.Customer Reviews:

The Complete Canvasworker's Guide: How to Outfit Your Boat Using Natural or Synthetic Cloth
Jim Grant Manufacturer: International Marine/Ragged Mountain Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0070240809 |
Book Description
Now completely revised and updated, and expanded by more than fifty percent, The Complete Canvasworker's Guide, Second Edition, brings you Jim Grant's thorough step-by-step approach to constructing a nearly endless variety of attractive and functional gear for your boat. Grant, with his wife, Connie, has taught sailmaking and canvaswork for more than 20 years, and he brings an often intimidating craft within the grasp and budget of anyone from an all-thumbs beginner to a would-be professional.
Forget that canvas always used to be made of cotton. Today it is far more commonly woven of synthetic fibers: acrylic, polyester, or nylon. Here is all the information you'll need to make use of them all. Grant's no-frills approach, refined over years of answering the questions of puzzled students, is for any boatowner who wants to take needle to fabric. And as tens of thousands of proud boatowners will happily testify, it really works.
Here's what reviewers have said about The Complete Canvasworker's Guide:
"Literally every question is answered in this book."--Yachting
"Chock full of everything from basic information to a variety of ideas designed to improve, upgrade, and protect a boat."--Small Boat Journal
An immensely practical book."--Practical Boat Owner
"A concise and to-the-point workbook."--Soundings

Six Color World: Color, Cloth, Quilts, and Wearables
Yvonne Porcella Manufacturer: C&T Publishing ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 1571200355 |
Amazon.com
Luscious colors, strong design, and a bold sense of playfulness pervade both Yvonne Porcella's creations and her enticing book. Information on supplies and a solid introduction to color principles lead to an exciting section on surface design that encourages readers to experiment with different types of resists, salt patterning, brush-stroke variations, sponging, rubber stamping, image transfers, beaded embellishments, and other approaches to putting color and pattern on fabric. Instructions with enlargeable patterns for 16 projects include quilts, vests, jackets, and celebration banners, in styles ranging from bright graphics to subtle marbled effects to designs resembling delicate watercolor paintings. Novices take note: although the basic painting directions are designed for all skill levels, the projects are advanced and the instructions not very thorough; they are clearly meant for experienced seamstresses. --Amy HandyCustomer Reviews:

The 2007 Import and Export Market for Gum-Coated Textile Fabrics for Book Covers, Tracing Cloth, Prepared Painting Canvas, and Buckram for Hat Foundations in China
Philip M. Parker Manufacturer: ICON Group International, Inc. ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0497630311 Release Date: 2006-10-24 |
Book Description
On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners focusing on gum-coated textile fabrics for book covers, tracing cloth, prepared painting canvas, and buckram for hat foundations in China face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying gum-coated textile fabrics for book covers, tracing cloth, prepared painting canvas, and buckram for hat foundations to China? How important is China compared to others in terms of the entire global and regional market? How much do the imports of gum-coated textile fabrics for book covers, tracing cloth, prepared painting canvas, and buckram for hat foundations vary from one country of origin to another in China? On the supply side, China also exports gum-coated textile fabrics for book covers, tracing cloth, prepared painting canvas, and buckram for hat foundations. Which countries receive the most exports from China? How are these exports concentrated across buyers? What is the value of these exports and which countries are the largest buyers? This report was created for strategic planners, international marketing executives and import/export managers who are concerned with the market for gum-coated textile fabrics for book covers, tracing cloth, prepared painting canvas, and buckram for hat foundations in China. With the globalization of this market, managers can no longer be contented with a local view. Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics which appear several years after the fact. I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for gum-coated textile fabrics for book covers, tracing cloth, prepared painting canvas, and buckram for hat foundations for those countries serving China via exports, or supplying from China via imports. It does so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models. In what follows, Chapter 2 begins by summarizing where China fits into the world market for imported and exported gum-coated textile fabrics for book covers, tracing cloth, prepared painting canvas, and buckram for hat foundations. The total level of imports and exports on a worldwide basis, and those for China in particular, is estimated using a model which aggregates across over 150 key country markets and projects these to the current year. From there, each country represents a percent of the world market. This market is served from a number of competitive countries of origin. Based on both demand- and supply-side dynamics, market shares by country of origin are then calculated across each country market destination. These shares lead to a volume of import and export values for each country and are aggregated to regional and world totals. In doing so, we are able to obtain maximum likelihood estimates of both the value of each market and the share that China is likely to receive this year. From these figures, rankings are calculated to allow managers to prioritize China compared to other major country markets. In this way, all the figures provided in this report are forecasts that can be combined with internal information sources for strategic planning purposes.
