    High Drama, Tantric Dreams
    Die Energie der LinieDie Malereien von Frederic Anderson (geb. 1973 in Luxemburg, lebt und arbeitet in London) zeichnen sich durch ein Gefühl der Fluiditat aus. Sie bestehen aus farbenfrohen Spuren, die von kurzen Strichen bis zu langen, trägen Linien reichen und über die Leinwand huschen. Anderson nutzt viszerale Gesten ungeübter, spontaner zeichnerischer Praktiken wie Graffiti und Kinderkritzelei oder Elemente aus der Kalligrafie. Besonders die Airbrush-Technik als schnelle Methode des Farbauftrags ist für Anderson das perfekte Werkzeug, um den Eindruck von Bewegung zu vermitteln. Dabei stehen seine Gemälde in der Tradition von Cy Twombly oder Martin Barre .Die erste Monografie High Drama, Tantric Dreams des Künstlers zeigt die Arbeiten der letzten zwei Jahre. Alex Bacon schrieb einen Essay und sprach mit dem Künstler.The Energy of the LineFrederic Anderson's (b. Luxembourg, 1973; lives and works in London) paintings are distinguished by a pervasive sense of fluidity. They consist of colorful traces ranging from curt dashes to long and languid lines that flit across the canvas. Anderson harnesses the visceral gestures of untrained and spontaneous graphical practices such as graffiti and children's scrawls as well as elements of calligraphy. The airbrush, a tool that allows for the rapid application of paint, is central to his technique, lending vibrant momentum to works that suggest the inspiration of Cy Twombly or Martin Barre .Titled High Drama, Tantric Dreams, the artist's first monograph presents his most recent works. Alex Bacon contributed an essay and spoke to the artist.

Meg's long-lost paternal grandfather, Dr. Blake, has hired Stanley Denton to find her grandmother Cordelia. Dr. Blake was reunited with his family when he saw Meg's picture-she's a dead ringer for Cordelia-and now Stanley has found a trail to his long-lost love in a small town less than an hour's drive away. He convinces Meg to come with him to meet her, but unfortunately, the woman they meet is Cordelia's cousin-Cordelia died several years ago, and the cousin suspects she was murdered by her long-time neighbor.Stanley and Meg agree to help track down the killer and get justice for Cordelia. Grandfather even has perfect cover--he will come to stage a rescue of the feral emus and ostriches (escaped from an abandoned farm) that infest this town. He dashes off to organize the rescue-which will, of course, involve most of Meg's family and friends in Caerphilly. But then, the evil neighbor is murdered, and not only Cordelia's cousin but also the entire contingent of emu-rescuers, who have had conflict with the neighbor, are suspects. Only Meg and the cousin-who seems to share a lot of telling traits with Meg-can find the real killer and clear the air in The Good, the Bad, and the Emus, the newest beverage-spittingly funny installment in this uproarious series from the one-and-only Donna Andrews.

    Washington: A Life, Hörbuch, Digital, 860min
    From National Book Award winner Ron Chernow, a landmark biography of George Washington. In Washington: A Life celebrated biographer Ron Chernow provides a richly nuanced portrait of the father of our nation. With a breadth and depth matched by no other one-volume life of Washington, this crisply paced narrative carries the listener through his troubled boyhood, his precocious feats in the French and Indian War, his creation of Mount Vernon, his heroic exploits with the Continental Army, his presiding over the Constitutional Convention, and his magnificent performance as America's first president. Despite the reverence his name inspires, Washington remains a lifeless waxwork for many Americans, worthy but dull. A laconic man of granite self-control, he often arouses more respect than affection. In this groundbreaking work, based on massive research, Chernow dashes forever the stereotype of a stolid, unemotional man. A strapping six feet, Washington was a celebrated horseman, elegant dancer, and tireless hunter, with a fiercely guarded emotional life. Chernow brings to vivid life a dashing, passionate man of fiery opinions and many moods. Probing his private life, he explores his fraught relationship with his crusty mother, his youthful infatuation with the married Sally Fairfax, and his often conflicted feelings toward his adopted children and grandchildren. He also provides a lavishly detailed portrait of his marriage to Martha and his complex behavior as a slave master. At the same time, Washington is an astute and surprising portrait of a canny political genius who knew how to inspire people. Not only did Washington gather around himself the foremost figures of the age, including James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson, but he also brilliantly orchestrated their actions to shape the new federal government, define the separation of powers, and establish the office of the presidency.
