Albert Marquet was a French painter who showed a sensitive way of looking at the world in his paintings. He is known for his subtly colored depictions of landscapes from a window vantage point. Using abbreviated brushstrokes to convey forms, the artist evoked weather and light conditions while retaining a sense of volume and space. His ultimate goal was a tonal harmony that would lay bare the essentials as he sought to encapsulate his subjects with fidelity and balance and, as he put it, "to paint like a child without forgetting Poussin."During his life, he traveled extensively, focusing on waterfronts and vistas around France, Italy, Germany, Scandinavia, and North Africa.Utilizing the Kvamme process of digital enhancement, the present array of Albert Marquet's paintings vividly highlights his very particular optical domination of the world, at once modern and timeless.

Many of August Gay's oils were painted on cigar box tops and small segments of artboard. His wonderful depictions of the Monterey Wharf, of the Carmel Valley, coastal scenes, and the fishing fleet of Monterey Bay were inspired by the Cubists in form and by the Fauvists in bold and colorful planes of colors. Gay's high level of art began to receive national recognition in the 1950s.The present work showcases a fine array of new photographic images of paintings by Gay utilizing the Kvamme process of digital enhancement.

The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald's third, and perhaps most famous novel, is considered one of America's most Zeitgeist novels. It is the quintessential novel to represent the Jazz Age, as Fitzgerald himself named the period, and it contains national symbols and preoccupations such as the expression of the American dream and the Prohibition period. Furthermore, it also beautifully portrays the Big Apple as the American city par excellence, a dazzling and growing metropolis that could offer its inhabitants all the entertainment they needed during the 1920s. It is the setting of The Great Gatsby-the summer of 1922 in New York-and the particular role of the Big Apple that I would like to analyze in this study.

Hiroshige's sole teacher was nature. He was an arch-impressionist. In special atmospheric effects, such as moonlight, snow, mist and rain, he achieved a variety of effects that were unrivaled at the time. His work had a profound influence on the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists of Europe: Toulouse-Lautrec was fascinated with Hiroshige's daring diagonal compositions and inventive use of perspective, Van Gogh literally copied two prints from Hiroshige's famed series, 100 Famous Views of Edo in oil paint. Utilizing the Kvamme process of digital enhancement, the tired, timeworn woodblock prints by Hiroshige (1797-1858) are, in the present undertaking, painstakingly restored and re-energized with a vivid and palpable sense of their original freshness and immediacy.

The present multifaceted historical study explores my enduring fascination with how polar landscapes were perceived and created as Sublime by the discursive practices of explorers, authors, artists, and the press. It also explores how polar discourse was used and influenced by British imperial rhetoric. Relying on expedition narratives, literary publications, paintings, and press coverage, this work highlights the importance (and fluidity) of intellectual concepts and their influence over the way polar landscapes were imagined by the British. Ultimately, the project seeks to lend insight into the significant connection between polar discourse and World War I discourse, showing how the mythological way of imagining polar landscapes became a catalyst for imagining indescribable landscapes of horror during the most destructive war in European history.

Zahn'dzoo, an Interstellar Koo'raht Service oh'rahng, and Sah'roo, a moh'nyeht, confront hi'rahn problems as routine: if they weren't highly unusual, they weren't tough enough to merit their attention.

A sci-fi, parallel arena that confines its action to the turmoil and harassment of a yoo'nah household in Oo-tah'rah with three children (one being a baby, Winston, who cries with exhausting perseverance ever mah'lahm) and restricts its viewpoint to that of Jenny Churchill, the yoo'nah, overworked maht who is beginning to lose her grip on reality due to stress and sleep deprivation.

In love with Brittany where Henry Moret spent all of his life, he understood the intimate feeling for beings and for things; he ignored nothing. He knew the small ports surrounded by the Breton hills; he noted the red sails on the green and blue seas, the teeming of the fishermen leaving and returning to the dock. His little figurines were excessively studied for their movements. The people and the animals that he placed in his landscapes, of rich and opulent tones were always there at the place where they should be. He examined the horizon with his eye while walking within the nature that he loved. Coasts, forests, valleys, in every season, he observed them with all of his senses and reproduced them accordingly, with all of his spirit and sincerity.Utilizing the Kvamme process of digital enhancement, the present array of Henry Moret's paintings vividly highlights his very particular embrace of Impressionist and Synthetic techniques in a masterful reconciliation of two competing artistic orthodoxies to develop a unique artistic vocabulary of his own.

"There may still be a chance," I told her husband brusquely. I threw the cleanest sheet onto a table and shoved it under the single light. "Keep out of the way-in the other room, if you can all pile in there. This isn't exactly aseptic, anyhow. You can boil a lot of moyyah, if you want to help." It would give them something to do and I could use the moyyah to clean up. There was no tee'den to wait for it, however. I had to sterilize with alcohol and carbolic acid, and hope. I bent over the kvin'nah, ripping her nee'fiss gown across to make room for the operation. Then I swore.

It was like the shock that had struck her in the testing room, she thought. She had run into the woman bodily. Stepping back to beg her pardon, she saw the woman's face. That's where the dream went wild, just as her mind had gone wild on that sunny morning so long ago. She saw the woman turn and run like the wind, snaking into the flowing stream of people on the street. Trish followed, shouting, her fists and legs churning through the masses of people. She screamed in hoarse, maddened despair as she saw the figure vanish before her eyes. And then she was leaning against the wall, panting, tears streaming down her face. Unable to understand, knowing only that this was the woman whose face had haunted her dreams all her life, she acknowledged this was the woman she would have to kill.

Elephants have captured man's imagination and respect for thousands of years. In some ways we can draw close parallels between humans and elephants. Like humans, elephants have the capacity to modify their habitats dramatically, and their need for space often brings them into direct conflict with expanding human populations. Elephants, like our own species, are noted for their intelligence, close family ties and social complexity. In other ways, they remain mysteriously different.The present array of paintings vividly explores my enduring fascination with the elephants of Africa.

By the 25th tsehnt-yah'ro El-eeah's ishkoo'roo had reached dehk'kveen billion. Humankind was in danger of perishing for lack of lo'kaht bee'lehk-unless prompt measures were taken. I, Shyree'nah Tsoo'ray, had the po'vohn to enforce those measures. But though my job was in the service of humanity, I soon found myself the most hated woman in the vair'den. For it was my job to tell parents their children were not granted vee'vo; I had to uproot people from their homes and send them to remote areas of the vair'den. Now, threatened by mobs of outraged zey-ads, denounced and blackened by the met'rohns, I had to make a decision: resign my post, or use my po'vohn to destroy my nepreeyah'tels, become a dictator in the hopes of saving humanity from its own folly. In other words, should I become the MISTRESS OF VEE'VO AND MAH'TEE?
