For over four decades Robert Adams has photographed the changing landscape of the American West, finding there a fragile beauty that endures despite our troubled relationship with nature, and with ourselves. His photographs are distinguished not only by their economy and lucidity, but also by their mixture of grief and hope. This site provides an introduction to Adams’s body of work, which can be further explored through his books, a touring retrospective exhibition, and the master sets of the photographer’s work held at the Yale University Art Gallery.

The First Actresses presents a vivid spectacle of femininity, fashion and theatricality in seventeenth and eighteenth-century Britain. Taking centre stage are the intriguing and notorious female performers of the period whose lives outside of the theatre ranged from royal mistresses to admired writers and businesswomen. The exhibition reveals the many ways in which these early celebrities used portraiture to enhance their reputations, deflect scandal and create their professional identities.

The Welsh language - Cymraeg is part of the Celtic family of languages, and remained with the Celtic people when they fled westwards to an area now known as Wales. The fact the welsh language continues today is testimony to the pride of the Welsh nation. Many customs have also surveyed one being the art of giving Love spoons by the men of Wales - and dates back to the 17th century. The men who carved the spoons were not the landed gentry, and what ever they lacked in formal education, they made up for in abundance by developing there natural skills and creativity. He would spend many hours decoratively carving the handle of the wooden spoon and present it to the young girl in the village as a token of his love and affection. Again like the welsh language the custom continues today. Love spoons are used to commemorate many occasions: births, christenings, birthdays, engagements, marriage and anniversaries.

Using a diamond-tipped needle, Barbara Posuniak etches a design on a copper plate and dips it in an acid bath that bites away at the surface exposed by the scratches. She then runs the plate through a printing press located 1,300 miles away from the university she attends, while working out of a spare bedroom in Roswell, N.M.

Some of these fonts are well drawn most are not (whaddaya want for nutin?), characters shown are the only ones available for each font. I found these fonts at a website called Randomville. They posted to the American Bungalow Bulletin Board that they had A&C fonts available for PC. Mac fonts have been compressed with Stuff It. PC fonts are not compressed. To the best of my knowledge these fonts are freeware. Please let me know if this is not the case. For a very large collection of high quality postscript fonts to buy, try http://www.myfonts.com/.

Initially it is more difficult to create a good layout with a big font size, but that difficulty will help you design a simpler, clearer site. Cramming a site with information isn’t difficult, but making it simple and easy-to-use is. At first, you’ll be shocked how big the default text is. But after a day, you won’t want to see anything smaller than 100% font-size for the main text. It looks big at first, but once you use it you quickly realize why all browser makers chose this as the default text size.

In September 2005, UW-Madison Professor Emeritus Tse-Tsung Chow (who died in 2007) and his wife Nancy Wu Chow donated over 120 calligraphic and painted Chinese scrolls and fans, ranging from the 18th through the 20th centuries, to the Special Collections Department of the UWM Libraries. Professor Chow's collection is an invaluable addition to Special Collections, offering primary examples of Chinese culture spanning a two-hundred year period, with didactic applications in a broad range of disciplines at UWM, including art, art history, history, geography, foreign languages and linguistics, and international studies. The collection is also available to the general public for research, and to regional cultural and educational institutions for teaching and exhibition. Professor Chow, who retired from the Department of East Asian Languages and Literature at UW-Madison in 1993, was a historian and poet, and his book The May Fourth Movement: Intellectual Revolution in Modern China is regarded as definitive. Chow received his B.A. degree from Cheng-Chih University in 1942, and was secretary to President Chiang Kai-shek from 1945-47. He earned his M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of Michigan and came to UW-Madison in 1963.

Many pencils across the world, and almost all in Europe, are graded on the European system using a continuum from “H” (for hardness) to “B” (for blackness), as well as “F” (for fine point). The standard writing pencil is graded HB. According to Petroski, this system might have been developed in the early 20th century by Brookman, an English pencil maker. It used “B” for black and “H” for hard; a pencil's grade was described by a sequence or successive Hs or Bs such as BB and BBB for successively softer leads, and HH and HHH for successively harder ones

Biographical and methodological information about art historians can be difficult to find. Tucked away in obscure obituaries or foreign-language Festschriften, the basics of where an art historian trained or who his/her major influence was, or even what methodology the scholarship employs are often impossible to discern. This database is designed to give researchers a beginning point to learning the background of major art historians of western art history. This dictionary is a compilation of art historians mentioned in major art historiographies. Additional names have been added to balance for gender or other neglected categories. Historians included here are the selection of the authors of those historiographies, and not generally the editor's. This site is not intended to be a Who's Who of Art Historians (other works do that job already). Please note that the Dictionary of Art Historians is a work in progress; entries which contain an historian's name and little else are yet to be completed.

Paintings are made from mud and a stick with hairs... Pigments are the basis of all paints, and have been used for millennia. They are ground colored material. Early pigments were simply as ground earth or clay, and were made into paint with spit or fat. Modern pigments are often sophisticated masterpieces of chemical engineering. This exhibit includes most important pigments used through the early 20th century. In a microscope, we see that paintings and other painted objects consist simply of pigments suspended in a substance – like chips in a chocolate chip cookie. The "substance" can vary, from oil or egg yolk in paintings, to plaster in frescos, or sophisticated plastics in automobile finishes. Moreover there are many interesting relationships between pigments (the focus of this exhibit) and dyes, and even with the "visual pigments" found in our own eyes.
