I want to find it all now know our names know the others in history so many women have been lost at sea so many stories have been swept away Chiaroscuro: (noun) the treatment of light and shade in drawing and painting. Aisha, Yomi, Beth and Opal couldn't be more different, but when Aisha hosts a dinner party, the friends soon discover that they're all looking for an answer to the same question. Does it lie in Aisha's childhood? Or in Beth and Opal's new romance? Who will tell them who they really are? What starts out as a friendly conversation between women, soon turns heated when Yomi reveals what she really thinks about Beth and Opal's relationship. A searing, tender look at queer Black womanhood by award-winning writer and Scots Makar Jackie Kay.

An artist can animate the inanimate, delight with light, sooth with shadows. His brush wails with blue, dances with green, ignites with red and flies with yellow. Nature speaks through him her age old sagas like sweet lullabies to the mankind. A painting is nothing but a silent yet vibrant message of the nature. The sky, clouds, rivers, oceans, rocks, trees, mountains and all the creatures are divine deities to the artist and he is of course the priest. Before even the advent of language and scripts men started to sketch and paint; in that sense painting is mans oldest religion. Civilized morals pervaded the earth but the Paleolithic ethos and Neolithic values still haunt an artistic soul. Art transcends human history and is immanent in every walks of human life. This book is a collection of selected works of a passionate artist who is trying to find out the deeper meaning and foundation of aesthetics and its impact on human consciousness.

Novembre, Lyon plongée dans un brouillard inquiétant. Le capitaine de police Santonino Roccasecca est envoyé de toute urgence dans le VIIème arrondissement de la ville où trois têtes viennent d’être découvertes dans un congélateur. Le tueur en série, un certain Hector Bahiamantis, s’est défenestré, non sans avoir décapité, au préalable, sa propre mère qu’il a surprise en train d’appeler la police. Coup de folie ? Coup de panique ? Sans doute... Tout le monde est soulagé, Bahiamantis ne pourra plus nuire. Mais bientôt, d’autres têtes sont découvertes dans des endroits stratégiques de Lyon. Les crimes sont signés d’une reproduction de Caravaggio, le peintre italien. Au dos, un message manuscrit à l’attention des policiers, et sur chacune des cartes, des empreintes. Celles de la future victime. Commence alors une course contre la montre effrénée. L’inspecteur Roccasecca arrivera-t-il à temps ?

Bloodline in Chiaroscuro

James Danziger was a force to be reckoned with in both his personal and professional lives. From the 1940s to the 1980s, he ruled a business empire, his family, and his friends with an iron fist. An enigmatic man with warring dark and light sides, he eschewed playing by the rules and did anything to accomplish what he wantedeven murder. However, James didnt just rise from ashes. He was born, he had parents, and he grew up, but what kind of people would create such an ambitious man beyond redemption? In the early 1900s, a chance meeting between Scottish immigrant Elspeth McMorgan and Stefan Danziger occurred, which set into motion a dynasty that would rule the better part of a century. Jamess parents witnessed a great many amazing events, including the sinking of the Titanic, the suffragette movement, Prohibition, and the Great Depression before things went mad in the dark days of World War II. Through it all, the Danziger clan thrived even when the post-war fifties and sixties collided and planted the seed of power that continues to make its mark in the new millennium.

Chiaroscuro: The Mouse and the Candle

God’s will be done. After eleven years as a priest living by these words, Father Antonio Molinari never imagined who would teach his strongest lesson of faith―a vampire. As a member of a secret order within the Vatican, he investigates and debunks supernatural events. A case of possession brings him to the French countryside, where two local clergy offer him the chance of a lifetime. They claim to have captured a vampire, and beg his expertise in helping them study the fiend. When their monster turns out to be a little girl, cursed to spend eternity hiding from the sun, he cannot bring himself to destroy her. The priests, mistaking his compassion for diabolism, panic, and his efforts to protect an innocent child prove fatal. He awakes caught between light and darkness. Hunted by the Church he once served as well as the fiends he once destroyed, Father Molinari clings to his faith there is still room for him in God’s plan. But God is quiet, and the darkness tempting.

Madding Mission “Metaphor: Chiaroscuro” Jotter Book

Autor: Desmond Kon

Número de Páginas: 90

"Metaphor: Chiaroscuro" is a Madding Mission Jotter Book. Created by Desmond Kon Zhicheng-Mingdé, the Madding Mission Series encourages hypergraphia. It thinks Plath writes awesome poems. Plath should have met Dickinson. Dylan Thomas too. Shelley. Poe. Lord Byron. Artaud and Baudelaire. Who can forget Hart Crane? Versus Eliot. John Berryman and Robert Lowell, who knew they joined these ranks? And of course, Celan. Whitman, whose "right hand points to landscapes of continents, and a plain public road.... Perhaps it is everywhere on water and on land." Together they would write great things, Plath thinks out loud, to no one in particular. She has brought her pen to paper. There is madness in the method, and sometimes a little bit or a whole lot of genius too.

CHIAROSCURO is a poetry book about the contrast and balance between light and dark. It’s a journey through a crumbling world that leaves a gritty taste. It shines light on the edge of awareness where dark magic wars with childish innocence. These poems range from internal conflict to worldwide war to creatures of myth, but all follow the themes of finding havens of light in dark days, persisting despite the odds. The light is only brighter for the darkness that surrounds it.

She closed the shutters, returned home, and pranced on the bed, only to be flooded with the light that lies beneath the closed shutters of her eyes. The book amasses the heaps that otherwise piles up in the forlorn corners in a mans life. It tries to present an otherwise pale countenance of the random drawings on the walls of a dreamer, an idealist. Written in the ink of reverie, dont be confused if the script wanders, for it is directed by a mind that, far away from the protocols, wanders freely. The book offers nothing new, yet it provides the feelings that we discard in the logical scheme. Its just a collection of the words that one experiences during ones journey. The contents of the book represent the many layers of the layered mind. Though written in grey, it presents a colorful image of the multidimensional complex that drives our life: the mind. A vivid countenance inside a livid life, thats what this book represents.

It looks at Leonardo from the view-point of his ne'er-do-well apprentice and servant Giacomo, known forever to history as Salai, whom Leonardo describes as "lying, thieving, gluttonous", but who none the less spends most of his life in a complex relationship with the Maestro. Along the way we encounter Machievelli, Cesare Borgia, Michelangelo, Katerina (a dwarf with a unique talent!) and the model for the painting Mona Lisa.
