D'où jaillit le chant: la voie des oiseaux et des fleurs dans la tradition des Song
de François Cheng (Ed. Phébus) Isbn : 2859406832
55.00 € / 360.78 FF
Mille ans avant les Impressionnistes, à l'époque où régnait la dynastie des Song (Xème - XIIIème siècle), les artistes chinois avaient compris qu'en peinture le «sujet» n'est qu'un masque. Représenter sur la soie ou sur le papier une montagne, un arbre, un papillon n'était pas tant, à leurs yeux, affaire d'observation que recherche d'un secret : celui que la Nature dissimule derrière le voile ambigu de l'apparence. A cette exigeante école, la grandeur n'a que faire des «grands» sujets. Elle trouve à s'accomplir en même temps dans le vaste paysage que domine la montagne amie et dans l'espace le plus familier - que sollicite par prédilection ce «regard rapproché» par quoi l'enfance, de tout temps, s'est ouverte à l'immensité du monde. Cette dernière tradition, mobilisée d'abord par la représ...

Michael Furtman called his retriever, packed his camper and spent three months on the road, following the ducks and geese in their fall migration though Saskatchewan, Manitoba, the Dakotas, Missouri, Arkansas and Louisiana. What he found in his journey is the story told in On the Wings of a North Wind. This book celebrates the fall migration and also explores the problems facing waterfowl and waterfowl managers today. While Furtman is a hunter, he is also an environmentalist concerned with creating and preserving habitat for these birds. This is a wonderful story about one man’s efforts to gain first-hand information about this perennial migration and the problems these birds face with today’s changing landscapes.

Snowmelt Timberdoodles

18.28 € / 119.91 FF
Memory is the electric skeleton for the visual life.Here are trips into marshes and swamps, forests and stream valleys and the associations triggered from such simple experiences. Whether we go to forget or to remember, these are the traces of one walker #8217 ; s year among insects and birds, through the seasons in the Mississippi and Arkansas River Valleys. Neither biography nor diary, it is at times personal narrative and at times just the moment conveyed as purely as possible. We are sometimes only what we have seen and who we recall in the seeing. It is the joy of going, even for an hour. This is the come-back-and-tell-it part. Among dogs, armadillos, songbirds and children, sometimes it is best just to be humble and stay out of the way. Sometimes you laugh and write it down.
