People of the Eye: Stories from the Deaf World

Product Description Product DescriptionDeaf people in New Zealand are often little known outside their own culture. People of the Eye brings their world to life in personal histories translated into English with a series of photographs of the deaf community. The storytellers are both old and young, and they reflect both the diversity and commonality of deaf experience; the painful lives of a generation brought up forbidden to use sign language contrasted with the confidence of young people using New Zealand Sign Language as they attend school and assert "deaf pride." The differences between children growing up in deaf families and those who struggle with identity as deaf children in hearing families are illuminating. These are stories of joy and sadness, confusion and resolution, and regret and optimism.

Chuck Close: Work

Product Description Product DescriptionNow available in a revised and expandededition, this book offers the first comprehensivecritical examination of one of America's mostcelebrated living artists. Chuck Close reinvented portraiture almost four decades agowith a series of nine-foot-tall, black-and-white likenesses ofhimself and fellow artists, which astonished an art worlddominated by minimalism and conceptualism. Close has sinceexplored the possibilities implicit in his original breakthroughin an array of mediums. This lavish, large-format volume is thefirst to deal with all aspects of Close's career and to placethem in a biographical context.Christopher Finch's insight into Close's achievement comes byway of hundreds of studio visits and thousands of hours ofconversation since he met Close in 1968. Finch provides anengaging, in-depth analysis of Close's portraits on canvas,from the continuous-tone airbrushed heads of the 1960s and`70s to the painterly "prismatic grids" of the past twodecades. The more than 300 illustrations featured in the booksurvey almost all of Close's paintings, including his most recentwork, together with a selection of his prints and multiples, andexamples of his photographic oeuvre. This beautifullydesigned volume reveals not only the variety of pictorialstrategies Close has devised, but the extraordinary personalityof the artist behind the work.
