Inscribed By Kingman In 1995 To California Art Expert And Publisher Ruth Westphal. Dong Kingman (1911 -2000) Was A Chinese American Artist And One Of America's Leading Watercolor Masters. As A Painter On The Forefront Of The California Style School Of Painting, He Was Known For His Urban And Landscape Paintings, As Well As His Graphic Design Work In The Hollywood Film Industry. He Has Won Widespread Critical Acclaim And His Works Are Included In Over 50 Public And Private Collections Worldwide, Including Metropolitan Museum Of Art, Museum Of Fine Arts, Boston; Brooklyn Museum; Deyoung Museum And Art Institute, Chicago. Dong Kingman Was Born Dong Moy Shu In Oakland, California, The Son Of Chinese Immigrants From Hong Kong. At The Age Of Five And A Half, He Traveled With His Family Back To Hong Kong, Where His Father Established A Dry Goods Business. He Began His Formal Education At The Bok Jai School, Where He Was Given A School Name In Accordance With Chinese Customs. Hearing That He Aspired To Be An Artist, His Instructor Gave Him The Name "King Man" (Lit. "Scenery" And "Composition" In Cantonese). He Would Later Combine The Two Names Into Kingman, Placing His Family Name First In Accordance With Chinese Naming Conventions, Creating The Name Dong Kingman. Kingman Continued His Education At The Chan Sun Wen School, Where He Excelled At Calligraphy And Watercolor Painting. He Studied Under Szeto Wai, The Paris-Trained Head Of The Lingnan Academy. It Was Under Szeto's Instruction That Kingman Was First Exposed To Northern European Trends. Kingman Would Later State That Szeto Was His "First And Only True Influence." Kingman Returned To The United States In His Late Teens. In 1929 He Attended The Fox Morgan Art School While Holding Down A Variety Of Jobs. It Was At This Time That He Chose To Concentrate On Watercolor Painting. His Critical Breakthrough Occurred In 1936, When He Gained A Solo Exhibition At The San Francisco Art Association. This Exhibition Brought Him National Recognition And Success. In The Late 1930S, Kingman Served As An Artist In The Works Progress Administration, Painting Over 300 Works With The Relief Program. In 1942 And 1944, Kingman Received The Guggenheim Fellowship. During World War Ii, He Was Drafted Into The U.S. Army, But Was Transferred To Work As A Map Artist In The Office Of Strategic Services[1] At Camp Beal, California And Washington, D.C, By A Fan Of His Work, Eleanor Roosevelt. Kingman Settled In Brooklyn, New York After The War, Where He Held A Position As An Art Instructor At Columbia University And Hunter College From 1946 For The Next Ten Years. In New York He Was Associated With Midtown, Wildenstein And Hammer Galleries. During The 1950S, Kingman Served As A United States Cultural Ambassador And International Lecturer For The Department Of State. In The 1950S And 1960S, Kingman Worked As An Illustrator In The Film Industry, Designing The Backgrounds For A Number Of Major Motion Pictures Including "55 Days At Peking", The Sand Pebbles And The Hollywood Adaptation Of "Flower Drum Song".

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Nature has gone feral. How can we re-attune ourselves to the new nature A field guide can help. While the global scientific community recently made headlines by ruling the Anthropocene-an era many date to the Industrial Revolution when human action truly began to transform the planet-did not qualify for a geological epoch quite yet, understanding the nature of human transformation of the Earth is more important than ever. The effects of human activity are global in scope, but take shape within distinct social and ecological 'patches,' discontinuous regions within which the key actors may not be human, but the plants, animals, fungi, viruses, plastics, and chemicals creating our new world. Field Guide to the Patchy Anthropocene takes stock of our current planetary crisis, leading readers through a series of sites, thought experiments, and genre-stretching descriptive practices to nurture a revitalized natural history. Field guides teach us how to notice, name, and so better appreciate more-than-human worlds. They hone our powers of observation and teach us to see the world anew. Field-based observations and place-based knowledge cultivation-getting up-close and personal with patchy dynamics-are vital to truly grapple with the ecological challenges and the historical conjunctures that are bringing us to multiple catastrophic tipping points. How has commercial agriculture runoff given rise to comb jellies in the Black Sea What role did the Atlantic slave trade play in the worldwide spread of virus-carrying mosquitoes How did the green revolution transform the brown planthopper into a superpredator in Philippine rice fields Questions like these open up new ways of understanding, and ways of living through, the epoch that human activity has ushered in. This Field Guide shifts attention away from knowledge extractive practices of globalization to encourage skilled observers of many stripes to pursue their commitments to place, social justice, and multispecies community. It is through attention to the beings, places, ecologies, and histories of the Anthropocene that we can reignite curiosity, wonder, and care for our damaged planet.…
