Few little girls can resist a princess. The renowned illustrator, Peter Malone, has created an extraordinary, richly detailed treasury with eight of the most beloved heroines in classic fairy tales. And what heroines they are! Spirited and strong-willed, they hold great appeal for the contemporary audience, and are memorably rendered in Malone's distinctive style. He places the stories--The Princess and the Pea, Rapunzel, The Sleeping Beauty, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, The Twelve Dancing Princesses, and The Frog Prince--in specific eras and locales rather than stereotypical fantasy settings.

Since the dawn of film in the 1890s, religious themes and biblical subjects have been a staple of cinema. One of the earliest focuses of screen presentations was the Bible, especially the New Testament and the Gospels. In Screen Jesus: Portrayals of Christ in Television and Film, Peter Malone takes a close look at films in which Jesus is depicted. From silent renditions of The Passion Play to 21st-century blockbusters like The Passion of the Christ, Malone examines how the history of Jesus films reflects the changes in artistic styles and experiments in cinematic forms for more than a century. In addition to providing a historical overview of the Jesus films, this book also reveals the changes in piety and in theological understandings of the humanity and divinity of Jesus over the decades. While most of the Jesus films come from the United States and the west, an increasing number of Jesus films come from other cultures, which are also included in this study. Fans and scholars interested in the history of religious cinema will find this an interesting read, as will students and teachers in cinema and religious studies, church pastors, parish groups, and youth ministry.

As the art world expands globally, as art galleries become wholesalers to international art fairs, as museums and university art departments become entangled in the same irrational marketplace—artists—those individuals, without whom none of this would exist, remain as precariously positioned in this cultural matrix as ever. Back Words: one painter’s voice in the conversation; is a narrative of a painter’s search for an art of personal meaning and public relevance, that can withstand the hype and the fashion pressures of the contemporary art world, while striving to remain true to genuine contentions imposed by history and the substantial innovations of the last century. From childhood, though art school, graduate study, and as studio instructor and college art gallery director, Peter Malone takes the reader along as he revisits the events and influences that took him from geometric abstraction to the portrait. In offering the reader a rare look inside an artist’s mind, Back Words provides a fresh and unique perspective on many commonly held notions regarding contemporary art and the education of artists.
