"It begins with sincere dedication and a cordial meeting of minds. Artists in place, at home in the shop, concentrate on their tasks, shaping clay or carving wood, weaving wool or painting canvas. Folklorists in motion, away on the road, concentrate on their tasks, watching, listening, learning. In time, differences diminish, friendships develop, and people unite in collaborative records of thought and action. Now listen to the artists of the Brazilian Northeast. Their work, they say, comes of continuity and creativity. Continuity runs along lines of learning toward social coherence. Creativity brings challenges and deep personal satisfaction. What they say and do in Brazil aligns with ethnographic evidence from throughout the world. This book is about that, about folk art as a sign of human unity. Folk Art by Henry Glassie and Pravina Shukla joins their earlier book, Sacred Art: Catholic Saints and Candomble Gods in Modern Brazil (2018), to describe the contemporary art of northeastern Brazil and exemplify a method for the study of traditional creation"--

“Yaya en total libertad comenzó a moverse entre las sábanas, a acariciarse con ellas, a rozar y a recorrer con sus dedos cada centímetro de su piel hasta que una sensación efervescente erotizó su ser; empezó a perder contacto con su entorno mientras sus manos tocaban sus pechos y viajaban por su abdomen plano rumbo a una tierra desconocida hasta ese momento. Un suspiro profundo cimbró su cuerpo...”Emilia, Yaya, Esther, Raquel y Camila son parte de un linaje marcado por los Placeres ocultos, por la represión sexual y por el señalamiento público. Cinco mujeres de carácter indomable que pertenecen a una misma familia, quienes en distintas épocas y circunstancias mantienen lealtades invisibles al clan, hasta que una de ellas decide enfrentar los condicionamientos heredados y romper con el karma familiar, creando así, un destino diferente para ella y para las mujeres por venir.ENGLISH DESCRIPTION “Yaya began moving under the covers in absolute freedom, caressing herself with them, brushing and tracing every inch of her skin with her fingers, until a fizzy sensation erotized her being. She began to lose contact with her surroundings while her hands touched her breasts and went over her flat belly towards a land unknown up until that moment. A deep sigh shook her body...” Emilia, Yaya, Esther, Raquel, and Camila are all part of a lineage marked by hidden pleasures, by sexual repression, and public scorn. Five women of indomitable character who belong to the same family, who keep invisible loyalties to their clan through different times and circumstances, until one of them decides to confront the inherited conditionings and break away from family karma, thereby creating a different fate for herself and the generations of women to come.

El poemario más intenso y personal del premio Nobel de Literatura, con prólogo de Raúl Zurita «El más grande poeta del siglo XX en todos los idiomas'. -Gabriel García Márquez «Neruda significa un hombre nuevo en la América, una sensibilidad con la cual abre todo capítulo emocional americano. Su alta categoría arranca de su rotunda diferenciación'. -Gabriela Mistral Publicado inicialmente en 1933 y ampliado en 1935, Residencia en la tierra es el gran clásico del «más grande poeta del siglo XX en todos los idiomas', en palabras de Gabriel García Márquez. Después de escribir Crepusculario y Veinte poemas de amor y una canción desesperada, y a raíz de una aguda crisis vital sufrida durante su estancia consular en oriente, Neruda se embarcó en la composición de este libro monumental que supuso una ruptura decisiva respecto a su obra anterior y la poesía en español. Residencia en la tierra es uno de los poemarios más originales y emocionantes de Neruda y también uno de los más arriesgados por su vanguardismo, vinculado indirectamente con la corriente surrealista. Una honda reflexión sobre la vida, sobre la relación entre la naturaleza y los seres humanos, sobre la pérdida y sobre nuestro papel en el universo. ENGLISH TRANSLATION The Nobel laureate's most intense and personal collection of poems, with a prologue by Raúl Zurita. "The greatest poet of the twentieth century in every language." --Gabriel García Márquez "Neruda means a new man in the Americas, a sensibility with which every emotional American chapter opens. His high standard stems from his resounding differentiation." --Gabriela Mistral First published in 1933, and expanded in 1935, Residence on Earth is the great classic by "the greatest poet of the twentieth century in every language," in the words of Gabriel García Márquez. After writing Crepusculario and Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair, and due to a severe life crisis he suffered during his consular stay in Asia, Neruda embarked on the composition of this monumental book that marked a decisive break from his previous work and poetry in the Spanish language. Residence on Earth is one of Neruda's most original and exciting collection of poems, also one of the most daring for its avant-garde quality, indirectly linked to the surreal movement. A profound reflection of life, of the relationship between nature and human beings, about loss, and about our role in the universe.

New works from the celebrated Brazilian virtuoso of joyously chromatic abstractionPublished in conjunction with the Brazilian artist Beatriz Milhazes' (born 1960) first solo exhibition at Pace since she joined the gallery in 2020, this book spotlights 10 vibrant, large-scale paintings she created during pandemic quarantine, as well as an immersive multimedia installation titled Gamboa III (2020), which incorporates materials found in carnival props. Including additional images of Milhazes' previous sculptural works and new texts that illuminate her highly generative practice, the publication immerses readers in the artist's colorful, spiritual world. An essay by curator Mark Godfrey explores Milhazes' art as it relates to the terms "landscape" and "logo," "structure" and "spontaneity" and "surface" and "spirituality"; and a conversation between Milhazes and fellow artist Polly Apfelbaum delves into Milhazes' emergence within the international art scene and her relationship with her practice today.
