This publication brings together a characteristically wide-ranging group of new works by painter Louise Fishman (born 1939). The paintings in this volume all appear as spontaneous improvisations upon an implied grid, but vary widely in scale (from 4 x 6 inches to 96 inches wide) and method. Paint is troweled, squeezed from the tube, diluted into a wash, pressed on with a sheet of paper and pulled off. The mediums include oil, watercolor, egg tempera, colored pencil, ink and graphite. The varied nature of Fishman’s work can be explained by a simple statement from the artist herself: “My intention, always, was to not repeat a painting, was to not repeat aspects of paintings. My intention in painting is to keep discovering and to keep changing.”

In Jack the Wolf, he teamed up with his son Oisin to create a children's fairytale: Sean created the paintings and Oisin created the story. Jack the Wolf lives in a beautiful cave on a short mountain, near Colorfull Town. Jack is a happy and benevolent wolf, with only one weakness: CHOCOLATE. Follow Jack the Wolf through the pages of this beautifully illustrated book by world-renowned artist Sean Scully and his son Oisin Scully, to discover the trouble Jack causes to the children of Colorfull Town in his nightly hunts for chocolate dinners, and how his new friend Rebecca the Rabbit helps him restore happiness to the sad children of the town. The publication of Jack the Wolf coincides with the opening of an exhibition at the Cheim Read Gallery in New York City in September 2023 that will feature the original drawings in the book as well as Sean Scully's abstract paintings and sculpture that link visually to the Jack the Wolf world. The remarkable combination of drawings, sculpture, and paintings will draw national press. Callaway plans advertising and interviews with Sean Scully nationally for the book's publication. Jack the Wolf is the first title in the new Callaway children's book series focusing on artists creating art with a family member.

Tá Danny Ó Murchú ag dul le bualadh lena dheartháir Jimmy. Ní fhaca siad a chéile le níos mó ná fiche bliain. Ar an mbealach chuig an gcruinniú, is cuimhin le Danny na tréimhsí maithe agus na drochthréimhsí, an spraoi agus na troideanna – agus an t-achrann mór amháin a scar iad. An dtroidfidh siad arís nó an mbeidh siad ina gcairde mar ba ghnáth leo a bheith? Níl a fhios ag Danny. Danny Murphy is going to meet his brother, Jimmy. They haven't seen each other in over twenty years. On the way to the meeting, Danny remembers the good times and the bad times, the fun and the fights - and the one big row that drove them apart. Will they fight again or will they become the friends they used to be? Danny doesn't know.

Es Khadim Ndiaye quien ha ido a visitar a su maestro en el más allá o es este último quien ha venido a su encuentro en la tierra de los hombres? Su voz parece tan cercana? Sea como fuere, los interrogantes del autor de Conversaciones con Cheikh Anta Diop son los nuestros, los del común de los mortales, y él sabe devolvernos su cosecha en un lenguaje brillante y honesto, lejos del deplorable pathos de moda. El ejercicio no está ciertamente al alcance de todo el mundo: solamente un verdadero dominio del tema permite imaginar las preguntas acertadas y saber en qué lugar preciso de su prolífica producción científica encontrarlas respuestas apropiadas de Cheikh Anta Diop. Devolviendo cuerpo y palabras al paciente escultor de nuestros sueños, Conversaciones con Cheikh Anta Diop consigue vulgarizar, sin mutilarlo, un pensamiento complejo y lleno de matices. Esto puede parecer evidente, pero el hecho es que a nadie se le había ocurrido antes de Khadim Ndiaye? El resultado es un homenaje afectu

Drawing from the media multiverse of TV shows, movies, and the internet, Cumwizard69420 casts a penetrating eye on the inflated egos and self-delusions raging through our celebrity-obsessed culture. And yet these images, which are often unnerving and frequently grotesque, are also generously human, laced with affection and humor. Cumwizard69420’s work reflects the chaotic topography of the internet, with subject matter that leans heavily on the scatological, the sexual, and the pop cultural.
