Under Rauch's tutelage, Ney developed a classical style in the German tradition, with a tendency toward realism and a faithfulness to accurate scale. Through Rauch, she also became acquainted with Berlin's artistic and intellectual elite and sculpted her first works, among them portraits of such luminaries as Jacob Grimm and Alexander von Humboldt.

Students of The Science and Philosophy of the Organism, the Gifford Lectures, 1907-8, by which Professor Driesch is perhaps best known to English readers, will find in Part II. of this book an account of the logical foundations of Vitalism, arranged in a rather different and in many ways easier form. As the author explains in his Foreword to Part II., aU the systematic section has been completely rewritten for the English edition ; and its arrange- ment is precisely the reverse of that adopted in the London Lectures, 1913, which are being pub- lished by Messrs.

  • Existential Realities of Post Agriculture
    Existential Realities of Post Agriculture Jeffrey Rubinoff Sculptor Prepared for the 2012 Company of Ideas Forum on Art as a Source of Knowledge May 19-21st 2012 at The Jeffrey Rubinoff Sculpture Park Biography of Jeffrey Rubinoff Rubinoff received his B.A. and M.F.A. in the nineteen sixties. In 1969 he returned to Canada. His one man shows included The Helen Mazelow Gallery, The Ontario Science Center, The Nathan Manilow Sculpture Park, Queen's Park Toronto, York University, and Two Sculptors New York. In the past two decades he concentrated on group historical exhibitions including works by sculptors David Smith, Alexander Calder, Anthony Caro, Mark di Suvero, Nancy Graves, George Rickey, Beverly Pepper, Tony Smith, and Robert Murray. In 1973, Rubinoff purchased an 80 hectare farm on Hornby Island, off the west coast of British Columbia, Canada, for the eventual establishment of a sculpture park. Living and working on site he has created almost a hundred sculptures, constructing each piece alone in his studio from CORTEN or stainless steel. Located in the former barn, the studio is uniquely equipped with a one man steel foundry, making it possible to cast the complex steel shapes seen in his later series. In addition to creating the pieces themselves, Rubinoff carried out significant landscaping projects in the park to reshape the land to site the sculptures. 2 Notes on 2012 Company of Ideas Forum Jeffrey Rubinoff, October 12, 2011 Natural History is history. What specifically interests me as an artist is the apparent universality of the expression of the spiritual in humans, evidence of individual conscience, and the ordering of aural and visual material.
