Stöcken 17 - diese Adresse steht in Solingen für das Unternehmen P. D. Rasspe Söhne. Ein Unternehmen, das sich über viele Jahrzehnte einen internationalen Ruf aufbauen konnte und zu den bekanntesten Solinger Familienunternehmen zählte.Die Geschichte der Firma P. D. Rasspe Söhne und ihrer Belegschaft ist nicht nur eine weitere Publikation zur Industriegeschichte der Stadt Solingen, sondern auch ein wichtiger Beitrag für die Agrargeschichte des Bergischen Landes. Die Produktion von landwirtschaftlichen Maschinen gehörte zu den wesentlichen Geschäftsbereichen des Unternehmens. Darstellungen über bergische Landmaschinenfabriken sind selten zu finden. Daher ist diese Publikation von Prof. Dr. Jörg Becker eine wichtige Grundlage für die Erforschung der bergischen Landmaschinenindustrie und der enormen Technisierung der Landwirtschaft nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg.

Nach dem Bestseller "Älter werden, jünger bleiben" das neue Geburtstagsleporello mit Bildern von Dieter Hecht. Mal amüsant, mal hilfreich und weise kreisen die Texte um den Fortschritt beim Älterwerden und den Weg zum Glück. Denn wer lange leben will, sollte nicht über das Alter klagen.

The world is becoming a busy noisy place and it is good to find a pastime that creates a different space, another dimension. In Parallel Lives in Painting we show how our paintings mean so much to us, they remind us of the lovely places we have visited and enable us to remember them in detail.It takes time to study the colours and contours of a scene. It may be that the drawing is an inadequate representation of the three dimensional scene spread out before us, how can it be anything else, but the process of trying to represent it on the two dimensions of the blank page is intellectually rewarding. The emerging picture is not just about the scene before you but also about your response to it at the time.<BR>

¿¿¿Hope Is a Silhouette is a body of intimate and introspective poetry with accompanying illustrations, both written and painted by Lana McDonagh. Observations on love, inner demons, lies, routine-the everyday facets and feelings of human experience that forever fascinate. This collection of sensitive poetry and captivating illustrations marks the exciting debut of a talented poet.Original artwork illustrates each poem. "Precise yet bursting with submerged emotion, Hope Is a Silhouette allows you into a deeply personal inner migration of beauty and bruised hope". - NICKY WIRE, Manic Street Preachers "The marriage of art and poetry has rarely been so gloriously exhibited in one unique debut volume. That the protagonist of both is one and the same person is both remarkable and utterly perfect, as it should be. Poems that tell of those magical and unforgettable moments of deep love and sensuality, of the joys and complexities of becoming a mother, the confusion despair and frustration of the uncaring world and the damage we sometimes seem unable to avoid inflicting on each other, are all addressed so succinctly and so elegantly that it is hard to fathom that this is Lana's first published work. Apart, each illustration, each poem, hits a nerve and tells a truth. Together they make for a deeply compelling experience. A major new talent." - SIMON RAYMONDE, Cocteau Twins & Bella Union Founder

Welcome, This book is a collection of drawings from my many sketchbooks, which I wanted to publish and dedicate to the borough I love - Beautiful Staten Island. Each sketch in this book was created on location, from life. Location sketches are designed to capture the immediate feeling of the places. The lines are spontaneous and quick. Some drawings were done in color, some in black and white. Materials used were pens, markers, watercolors, and colored pencils. This book is made possible by a DCA Premier Grant from Staten Island Arts, with public funding from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs.The places illustrated include: Wolfe's Pond ParkStone House at Clove LakesMidland BeachFDR BoardwalkCedar Grove BeachTurtle FountainVerrazano BridgeEggar's Ice CreamMain Street CoffeePiece-A-CakeSips + MakerSnug HarborChines Scholar's GardenHarbor EatsFirefighter StatueNeptune FountainSilver Lake ParkUrbyRoyal CrownStaten Island MallJacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan ArtStaten Island ZooConference House ParkThank you for getting this book, I hope you enjoy it!

Rudolf Steiner's watercolor "The Archetypal Human-Animal" presents the enigmatic image of a strange creature apparently swimming in water. It has a human profile, showing a clearly outlined nose and slightly opened mouth, with a mysterious eye nearly concealed in its greenish hair. It has appendages similar to hands and feet, with dark-blue, plantlike forms floating about in the water below the creature's bright red-and-yellow body. Only the title provides us with a clue to its meaning--it is an "archetypal human-animal" form. But even this is enigmatic. What is this strange, unusual creature, this archetypal human-animal? We are presented with a perplexing image and a puzzling description.In this original work--illustrated throughout with full-color paintings and images, many by the author--Angela Lord takes us on a journey of discovery toward realizing the meaning of Steiner's painting. With Goethe's theory of metamorphosis in nature, we are introduced to Steiner's ideas of human evolution, from the primal beginnings of the archetypal human-animal on "Ancient Moon." Lord recounts myths and legends from numerous cultures that speak of human-animal forms and reflects on the meaning of the fish in Christianity. She takes us through a series of color "sequences" for repainting Steiner's human-animal motif. The book also includes appendices that summarize evolutionary phases of earth and humanity from a spiritual-scientific perspective.The Archetypal Human-Animal is both a valuable workbook for painters and a fascinating insight into hidden aspects of human evolution.<BR>Fully illustrated in color.

Wie schon im ersten Band »Fotokunst« sind hier die besten, nun ja, meine mir augenblicklich gut gefallenen Bilder diesmal im Hochformat zusammengestellt, wobei es sich meist um künstlerisch veränderte eigene Fotos handelt. Und Elke Bouché stellt ihre Gemälde und Wollwesen vor.
