Hardcover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. This is the first comprehensive monograph on Peter Cain, who first achieved fame in the early-1990s for his paintings of distorted automobiles. Rendered with precision, their gleaming surfaces intensified the seductiveness of the advertisements on which they were based, leading one critic at the time to call them "literal and figurative icons of autoeroticism." In 1995, in a departure from the car paintings, Cain began a new series of paintings. Each composition part figure study, part landscape depicts his boyfriend Sean's reclining head and shoulders on a beach. These new works signaled, in the words of critic Peter Schjeldahl, "the creation of a new high style able intelligently to capture intimate nuances of contemporary Eros on a public scale." The following year Cain took up another new subject: gas stations and strip malls around Los Angeles. In January 1997, less than a month before their first exhibition, he died tragically from a cerebral hemorrhage. He was thirty-seven years old. Illustrated with more than eighty full-color plates, this book features paintings, drawings, and photographs made between 1987 and 1997. Beau Rutland's essay provides a comprehensive overview of Cain's work and its unique place in the New York art world of the 1980s and 1990s, while Collier Schorr offers a meditation on desire and power inspired by Cain's car paintings. Richard Meyer's essay examines the Sean paintings, which suspend their subject "between intimacy and abstraction." Accompanying these essays are source images, preparatory collages, and historical photos of the artist and his studio, all published here for the first time.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. More than 100 Years ago, researchers demonstrated that ancient myths and pagan religions are similar throughout the world. Other researchers have known for years that ancient petroglyph images are similar throughout the world. What was not known until near the end of the twentieth century was that scientists could reproduce the petroglyph images in the plasma laboratory. The laboratory plasma that produced petroglyph images was the type of plasma that creates the Earth's auroras. Under certain conditions, those images drawn in petroglyphs could have appeared in the auroras during ancient times. Numerous areas through the world could have seen similar images in the sky during the same time-frames. Those images combined with their motions and the actions of comets and meteors could have led to the creation of similar myths about gods in the sky. The myths led to pagan religions. No space aliens or supernatural activities were required. Information in this book includes why some pagan religions taught that Heaven was close to Earth, the gods lived at the top of an exceptionally high mountain, ladders provided a pathway between Heaven and Earth, there was a trinity of major gods, the gods had significant events occur on mountain tops, the gods created havoc on Earth, and even a possibility about why cows were often sacred. Details are also included about numerous initial surprises found by space probes and the concepts prevalent in 1950 that led to those surprises. Those concepts also hindered the recognition that there was an association between auroras, petroglyphs, and pagan religions. Anyone curious about myths, ancient religions, petroglyphs, astronomy, geology, or the interdisciplinary synthesis of those subjects will find something of interest in this book.
