I would also wish to acknowledge Professor Diana Davis for the opportunity to engage with this research project and to Professor Dr Stephen Naylor for his supervision and mentorship through the process to its conclusion. For their generosity, support and willing participation during the process of the work, I wish to express my thanks to the following: SUPERVISORS • Professor Diana Davis – Principal Supervisor 2004-2006 • Professor Dr Stephen Naylor – Principal Supervisor 2006-2011 • Ronald McBurnie – Associate Supervisor MY MENTORS: FORMAL AND INFORMAL I have some heroes and heroines who historically have fuelled my interest in making photographs and books. These photographers, artists and bookmakers have rewarded my life and research activities through their book works, commentaries about books and occasionally, through personal conversation. Most importantly these mentors have shaped my work in the book as a personal communiqué. Thank you to: Victoria Cooper is my life partner and also a photographer and artists’ bookmaker. Whilst we work as independent practitioners, our fieldwork, conceptual refinement of work, and production work are often linked by the kinds of discussion that can take place over the breakfast table, driving in the car or walking.

  • Wall Didactics Accessible Fonts
    LUSTER Realism and Hyperrealism in Contemporary Automobile and Motorcycle Painting Produced by David J. Wagner, L.L.C. Art Work Labels Accessible Fonts Premiere: Museum of Arts and Sciences in conjunction with Daytona Bike Week Daytona Beach, FL Throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, cars and motorcycles have not only been ubiquitous on the nation’s streets and highways, but also in film, top forty hits, and in painting. With the emergence of photo-realism in the 1960’s, motor vehicles assumed a special place of distinction as subject matter in the iconography of American art. LUSTER: Realism and Hyperrealism in Contemporary Automobile and Motorcycle Painting, is a traveling museum exhibition comprised of over 55 paintings by 15 leading photorealists and hyperrealists who specialize in automobiles and motorcycles as their primary subject of choice. Exhibiting artists include (in alphabetical order): A.D. Cook (Las Vegas, NV), Randy Ford (Eastampton, NJ), Allan Gorman (West Orange, NJ), Marc G. Jones (Loveland, CO), Cheryl Kelley (Northern California), Richard Lewis (Los Angeles, CA), Lory Lockwood (New Orleans, LA), Robert Petillo (Hardyston, NJ), Kris Preslan (Lake Oswego, OR), Joseph Santos (Buena Park, CA), Ken Scaglia (Weston, CT), John E. Schaeffer (La Grange, TX), Guenevere "Moto Painter" Schwien (Portland, OR), and Harold D. Zabady (Camp Hill, PA). The birth of the modern car occurred in Germany over 150 years ago. The first internal combustion, petroleum-fueled motorcycle came out of Germany 25 years later. In the United States, Henry Ford Company was established in 1901. A year later it morphed into Cadillac Motor Company which Ford left, along with the rights to his name.

In chapters one and two, I look in detail at Calvin's own writings. I begin by examining exactly what type of visual art he rejected and what type he affirmed. I then look at how his eschatology and epistemology, particularly his use of the metaphor of mirror, allow us to argue for the placing of certain types of art within Reformed churches, notably history and landscape paintings.

    Huntsville, Alabama dana anderson Untitled s Acrylic on Canvas s 20 " x 30 " Still s Acrylic on Canvas s 36 " x 24 " s $3,200.00 s Dana Anderson $1,600.00 s Dana Anderson Dana Anderson, a 28-year-old Huntsville native and resident, is the South’s first artist with special needs to be given her own solo gallery exhibit. She made history as the first such artist in several states including an upcom - ing exhibit September through December 2021 on Chicago’s Michigan Avenue. Anderson, who has Down syn - drome and autism, is low-functioning and does not care for herself, read, write or speak. Painting has become her voice and she has been featured on local, regional and national media outlets, which has resulted in a large following with sales of more than 100 paintings in 35 states. Unlike neurotypical professional artists, Anderson’s work is her only voice, and she is prolific with more than 300 pieces in less than three years. She paints weekly at the Inside Out Studio, a local studio for adults with disabilities, where she creates museum-worthy art. She works with canvas or board to create landscape and abstract art. She often paints over her work several times before she is finished, and uses a broadly generalized brushstroke, roller or sponge, with smaller, articulate, accentuating strokes. An emerging career artist, Anderson is breaking down barriers. Her exhibit, “Beyond Barriers,” is educating the public that persons with disabilities can do amazing things if given the opportunity. www.danaandersonart.com, facebook.com/danaandersonart.huntsville 50 Nashville, Tennessee kim barrick Chickadees s Oil s 14 " x 11 " s $850.00 s Kim Barrick Nap s Oil s 8" x 10 " s $550.00 s Kim Barrick Kim Barrick is as diverse and complex as the work she creates.
