Life Under the Big Top - I Like it!

Have had a fascination with vintage posters of the Circus and Wild West shows from bygone eras since visiting Scout's Rest Ranch on a family trip when the kids were younger. Really pleased with how the artwork was presented in this children's book especially with the added illustrations worked into the narrated sections. So sad to think Ringling Brothers will be closing after all these years, but still hoping to attend Pawnee Bill's Original Wild West Show one of these days. Very good book and I did enjoy!

Title: Conflict, Time, Photography

Author: Marina Vaizey

Narrator: Dana Brewer Harris

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-30-17

Publisher: Cv Publications

Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Visual Arts

Publisher's Summary:

The extraordinary exhibition of thousands of photographs ranging from cumbersome, beautifully detailed, sharply acute photographs of the aftermath of the 1860s American Civil War to mundane landscapes taken in 2013, are based on an enlivening, provocative, and even perhaps controversial organizing principle. What is novel is the unusual premise: eschewing more conventional and immediate reportage, or documentary series, the selection moving from gallery to gallery - and section by section in the catalogue - is defined by time. The images are set out from Moments Later to 100 Years.

The theme is set by Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five, a fantasy novel which plays with notions of memory and time, inspired by his extraordinary experience of having been imprisoned in Dresden in, indeed, a slaughterhouse, and emerging the morning after the Dresden bombing to find the destroyed city.

Title: Captain Linnaeus Tripe

Subtitle: Photographer of India and Burma 1852-1860

Author: Marina Vaizey

Narrator: Dana Brewer Harris

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-29-17

Publisher: Cv Publications

Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Visual Arts

Publisher's Summary:

Linnaeus Tripe? Shades of a minor character in Dickens or Trollope, but in fact the resoundingly named Tripe (1822-1902), army officer and photographer, was the sixth son and ninth child of a professional middle-class family from Devonport, his father a surgeon in the Royal Navy. He joined, as so many of his background did - younger son, but of a certain social status - the East India Company's army (the 12th Madras Native Infantry) aged only 17, the third Tripe son to do so. The company was the de facto and implacable foreign ruler of India until, following the trauma of the Indian Mutiny of 1857, the British government took over completely from the company's private forces.

Title: The Pre-Raphaelite Lens

Subtitle: British Photography and Painting, 1848-1875

Author: Marina Vaizey

Narrator: Dana Brewer Harris

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-29-17

Publisher: Cv Publications

Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Visual Arts

Publisher's Summary:

Alice Liddell, sweetly dignified, the inspiration for the heroine of Alice in Wonderland, is posed and identified as Pomona, goddess of abundance, in a marvelous 1872 photograph by the irrepressible Julia Margaret Cameron; appropriately she is the cover girl for this lavish standalone publication, which also acted as the catalogue accompanying the recent exhibition of the same title at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, (October 31 2010-January 30 2011), and the Museé d'Orsay Paris, March 6 - May 29, 2011). The title itself neatly refers both to the mechanical lens of the several elaborate photographic apparatus that were being invented and refined from the 1840s on, and the eye both of the photographer and the painter, sometimes one and the same. It reminds us too that it may not be the technique or medium that matters, as much as the eye and mind wielding the apparatus of photography, or the materials of painting: the message perhaps rather than the medium.

Title: Seduced by Art

Subtitle: Photography Past and Present

Author: Marina Vaizey

Narrator: Dana Brewer Harris

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-28-17

Publisher: Cv Publications

Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Visual Arts

Publisher's Summary:

EM Forster's famous dictum "Only connect!" is often quoted out of context but it is a resoundingly emotive phrase which might also be taken as the motto for the first major excursion by the National Gallery, London, into the history, portent and meaning of photography as a medium. Before Seduced by Art: Photography Past and Present, the National Gallery has only exhibited the work of a contemporary photographer on one occasion. Peter Blake, an artist famous for using many found sources including photographs in his work, much of which is based on elaborate collage and montage, was an artist-in-residence at the gallery in 1994-1996. But even the most tolerant observer would characterize the National Gallery's handling of contemporary art and/or photography as patchy, if not downright wobbly. This reviewer's experience has been that most of the gallery's interventions, however laudable in intent, have, with exceptions, diminished the contemporary and obscured the historic.

Title: Man Ray Portraits

Author: Marina Vaizey

Narrator: Dana Brewer Harris

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-28-17

Publisher: Cv Publications

Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Visual Arts

Publisher's Summary:

This ample exhibition - 150 or so photographs, and a small complementary display of well chosen magazines, showing a succinct number in published form - by Man Ray (1890-1976) is described as the first to concentrate exclusively on his portraits. He was born in Philadelphia as Michael Emmanuel Radnitzky, the eldest child of Russian Jewish immigrants (the father's classic occupation for someone of his ethnicity and class that of a tailor); the family moved to Brooklyn in 1897, the first of Man Ray's advantageous geographical relocations.

The boy, talented in drawing, was deeply engaged with the New York art world before he was 20, and a student both at the National Academy of Design (America's Royal Academy) and the Art Student's League. His family simplified their surname to Ray in 1912, and he was to be known as Man Ray for the rest of his life, perhaps a portent of the extraordinary self-transformations to come. He already was working as a sculptor, and in paint and mixed media, and with found material for abstract compositions, officially a dada-ist and soon to be classified as a surrealist, when that ism came into view. Man Ray purchased his first camera in 1915 to record his paintings, but by 1920 he had begun to make his living through portrait photography.
