Issue #11 of "works & conversations" is now in print.
Some highlights of the new issue:
Our lead interview is with nenowned painter Nathan Oliveira.
Interviewed also is legendary cowboy Jim Brooks whose sharecropper parents
moved north from Georgia and found work on a Quaker farm in Pennsylvania.
Brooks grew up there becoming a Quaker himself, and graduated later from
Penn State University. He followed his childhood love, however, and spent
his adult working years as a cowboy on ranches all over the west. He now
teaches cattle roping and, for the last fifteen years, has written songs
and leads his own band "The Ranch Hands" whose music, he tells us, is
popular in Australia.
As Carl Jung noted, in our era animals have lost their numinosity, but in
some of Adam Jaheil's photographs of cowboy life on the remote ranches of
Nevada, particularly of the horses, a remnant of that numinosity is made
visible again. We feature six pages of Jaheil's photographs.
Each issue of "works & conversations" is organized around two or three
interviews of a depth and thoughtfulness unusual in today's media. The
material in each issue is indexed by Art Bibliographies Modern.
