![]() This painting shows four different squares: green, blue, gray, and yellow. ![]() One of the paintings from this series, Homage to the Square: Apparition, is viewable online and physically at the Gugenheim. In this series of paintings, he explores the contrast of both colors and perceptions. One of Albers most striking works is Homage to the Square. ![]() In his teachings at Black Mountain College, which were later perfected at Yale, he showed that if you put a certain color next to another, and another color after that, you could expect certain results. However, after enough experimentation, an artist (or quilter for that matter), can learn to predict the behavior of color through experience. ![]() He characterized color as being passive, deceiving, and unstable. As a color theorist, Josef Albers made some assertions that color was best studied through experience. ![]() ![]() ![]() When the collection of stories was published, America’s growing economy led to a peak of foreign immigration and the Indian American population was steadily growing. Growing up with a mixture of cultures greatly influenced her life, specifically her writing, as these themes of characters trying to balance their heritage and their new life in America appear frequently. Her family moved from London to the United States when she was very young. ![]() Lahiri was able to draw from her own experiences for much of the context of the stories as she is the daughter of Indian immigrants. The rich history and diversity of Indian culture play a huge role throughout the stories, some of them focusing on religion, some using the food traditions of the country. They often take on the challenges of relationships and dynamics between couples and families at difficult times in their lives. The collection of nine different stories encompass the lives and experiences of various Indian Americans. ![]() Jhumpa Lahiri officially published Interpreter of Maladies in 1999 but had been working towards this accomplishment all her life. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() On top of keeping her people safe, she must dig deep and decide just who she wants at her side: Finn, Toven, or Loki. In Torn, everything comes to a head and Wendy must figure out how to keep her kingdom safe while protecting everyone she cares for. All the while, she still feels a strong pull to Finn but must face a possible future with Toven Kroner at her side. More of her background unfolds as she learns more and more about her family and the warring troll kingdoms and she must figure out if she wants to live with King Oren or Queen Elora. Maybe it was because I read it on a nook and wasn't paying attention to the page numbers but I was so into the story that I didn't want it to end! In Ascend, Wendy is kidnapped by King Oren and meets Markis Loki, the prince of an enemy kingdom. ![]() The story/plot line minus the romance was really good! When I finished Ascend, I was completely taken by surprise. Just finished Ascend and Torn by Amanda Hocking. ![]() ![]() ![]() She’s determined to uncover every stone until she finds the truth. Anna’s not convinced all the clues add up to a guilty verdict, though. Considering investigators locate evidence of the crime at his house and he has a ticket out of the country, it seems like an open and shut case for the prosecution…and a lengthy jail sentence for Anna’s client. After police find a local realtor brutally murdered, it’s the realtor’s business partner on trial for the crime. The only problem is this case is a doozy and there is a mountain of evidence working against her. ![]() ![]() Fresh off the success of saving her sister’s hide from jail, Anna is ready to hit the ground running when a fresh case hits her desk. Anna Hartman is going to need more than a good cup of coffee to solve her latest case. ![]() ![]() ![]() It is no surprise then that many have interpreted “Civil Disobedience” along the lines William Earle has construed it: as an appeal for “the withdrawal of allegiance from government and law in favour of the final accreditation by each man of his own solitary and ultimate conscience” (308 my italics).īut such an interpretation is dangerous, and as this paper will argue, not wholly accurate. ![]() As Heinz Eulau declares, Thoreau’s entire political thought is built on “the theoretical premise of individual conscience as the only true criterion of what is politically right and just” (510). In “Civil Disobedience”, Thoreau seems quite plainly to be advocating a State in which the individual, through his conscience, is a higher authority to which even the law should be subject. ![]() “Can there not be a government in which majorities do not virtually decide right and wrong, but conscience?” (2) “There will never be a really free and enlightened State, until the State comes to recognize the individual as a higher and independent power, from which all its own power and authority are derived, and treats him accordingly.” (18) ![]() ![]() ![]() Parvateshwar, Meluha’s chief general, proves an interesting character, a gruff and practical warrior, who refuses at first to believe Shiva’s the Neelkanth. Sita’s been relegated to vikrama (untouchable) caste because of personal tragedy, but Shiva ignores tradition. ![]() In Meluha, a "land of abundance, of almost ethereal perfection," Shiva meets and woos Sita, the emperor’s daughter. There’s much about philosophy and architecture, somewhat less about dress and food, and little about everyday life in this dense but readily understandable immersion in Hindu culture. With that, Shiva is drawn into conflict between the Suryavanshi of Meluha and the Chandravanshi of Swadweep centered around Somras, which has created "a remarkable and near-perfect society." Amish offers a glossary and small map and, most interestingly, a synopsis on the various castes. It’s a sign the Meluha believe marks him as the Neelkanth, savior and successor to immortals like Lord Ram and Lord Brahma. Resting during the trek, Shiva drinks Somras, a restorative potion, and his throat takes on a beautiful blue color. Weary of battle with the predatory Pakrati, he agrees when Meluha, "the richest and most powerful empire in India, "invites the Guna to emigrate. In faraway Tibet 3,000 years ago lived Shiva, a Guna warrior-chieftain. Amish draws from India’s rich culture to fictionalize the life of Shiva, the Great God Mahadev, of Hindu theology. ![]() ![]() ![]() Powerless and alone, Barry Allen desperately tries to hold on to his memories of the reality that once was. Batman has as much blood on his hands as his enemies do, and America's last hope is Cyborg. ![]() No human has ever wielded the Green Lantern's light, and no one has ever heard of Superman. This altered universe is on the brink of a cataclysmic war. The history of Barry's life is not as he remembers it, and the people he cares about most are now strangers, vanished, or worse. A place where his mother was never killed…and the Flash never existed. This collection features the epics stories that followed his return that no fan of the Scarlet Speedster should miss out on reading including Flashpoint where Barry Allen wakes up to a world that is not his own. The Fastest Man came speeding back and his breakneck pace never slowed down with all-new unforgettable adventures. ![]() Geoff Johns and Ethan Van Sciver, the writer/artist team behind the blockbuster Green Lantern: Rebirth and The Sinestro Corps War, brought Barry Allen back after his death in Crisis On Infinite Earths in an explosive, jaw-dropping epic that reintroduces the modern–age Flash. ![]() The epic story of Barry Allen's return from the dead to reclaim his title as The Fastest Man Alive and the amazing adventures that followed are included in this massive hardcover collection. 3 by Geoff Johns, Scott Kolins, 25 January 2022, 880 pages ![]() ![]() aside from the incongruously English dubbed version of Kerity (the sister sounds like a digitized Brit and the parents seemed stocked with awkward dialogue).

Despite Rebecca Dautremer’s renown, I sadly found very little mention of her in the U.S. The caveat to this imaginative inheritance is Nathaniel’s illiteracy which is relentlessly mocked by his bratty sister and the impending collapse of his aunt’s dilapidated house. Kerity, directed by Dominique Monféry, is about a young boy named Nathaniel who inherits his aunt’s library and the real life stories contained within the books. Dautremer has recently brought her design talents and also her love of folklore to life in the animated salute to storytelling entitled Kerity: La Maison des Contes (the English title is Eleanor’s Secret). ![]() She has worked on such children’s book titles as The Secret Lives of Princesses and collaborated with her husband, author Taï-Marc Le Thanh, on an adaptation of the notorious child-napping ogress of Slavic-lore, Babayaga. ![]() ![]() Dautremer has a legacy as an illustrator with a soft spot for fairytales touched by a sense of humor. ![]() The art of French illustrator Rebecca Dautremer is like stepping through paper windows into miniature, rouge accented worlds of wonder. ![]() ![]() ![]() The kind with two Caster moons and a Northern and a Southern Star. You can ask my mom, if it's the right kind of starry night. Don't waste your time with either-with anything. ![]() Turns out, I couldn’t have been more wrong.
