One of the most versatile and original artists of the twentieth century, Otto Neumann created works of stark brutality, sumptuous beauty, and sleek simplicity in an array of media oils, watercolors, chalk, graphite, lithographs, woodcuts, and monotypes, among others. He lived through revolutionary changes in the art world of prewar and postwar Germany, and drew inspiration from his contemporaries and predecessors, as well as from sources literary and deeply personal. Today, Neumann is best known for his subtly hued woodcuts and monotypes of human, animal, and abstract forms, created in the last twenty-five years of his life. But, in addition to the range shown in these brilliant pieces, a critical part of the artist s evolution is displayed in his other, earlier works: his series of graphic illustrations based on Dante s Divine Comedy; his rich, colorful portraits in oil and watercolor; the frightening grotesques he created during Germany s calamitous late 1920s; his Cézanne-inspired, watercolor still lifes; and his linoleum prints based on Edvard Munch s creation myth, Alpha and Omega. Otto Neumann: His Life and Work brings to light the career of a significant, overlooked artist and places his work within the proper context of great twentieth-century art.

On Connoisseurship and Reason In the Authentication of Art

Brainerd, Andrew W.

Understanding money can help us lead more fulfilling lives and affords us a deeper appreciation of the things money can't buy. Countless books tell you how to make money: only this one turns to the wisdom of the ages to illuminate for you the reasons you have money in the first place, and the role money is meant to play in your life and in the lives of others. Here, American entrepreneur and philanthropist Frank Hanna introduces you to a lean, no-nonsense explanation of the meaning of your money, and a guide for dealing with it constructively. From a tradition rooted in ordinary virtue, common sense, and the pragmatism that allows societies to flourish, Hanna has skillfully drawn forth principles and criteria that will enable you to discover quickly and with confidence: <li>Why you, in particular, have money</li> <li>What your money calls you to be, and why</li> <li>How to determine how much money is enough money</li> <li>The three vocations of all those who have money (can you even name one of them?)</li> <li>How to shield yourself and your loved ones form the dangers inherent in wealth (and even make your wealth a school of virtue!)</li> <li>How—if philanthropy is your calling—to give wisely (and ten rules of thumb that should guide all donors)</li> <li>Plus: much more to help you understand what your money means, and how to use it well.</li>
