She was christened Ursula (a diminutive of ‘Ursa,’ a she bear), because she was to slay ‘the bear’—i.e. the devil. She resolved to become a nun, but was sought in marriage by the heathen son of a ‘certain most ferocious tyrant,’ who threatened to waste the land with fire and sword if she refused. As the result of a vision, in which was revealed her future martyrdom, Ursula consented on condition that she was allowed as companions ten noble virgins who, like Ursula, were to have each a thousand attendant virgins and a ship. The prince was, moreover, to become a Christian. The eleven ships, with Pinnosa, Ursula's chief companion, as admiral, after cruising for three years round the British coasts, sailed up the Rhine to Cologne and to Basel, whence Ursula and her companions went on foot to Rome. Returning to Cologne, which had meanwhile been seized by the Huns, they were massacred in 238, Ursula being slain by an arrow. The inhabitants after the withdrawal of the Huns buried them with more than mortal honours, and built a church outside the walls, which was rebuilt on a grander scale long afterwards at the bidding of one Clematius, a wise man from the east. -Unknown Source","brand":"formerly Shakespeare and Company Books, now VIcarious Experience","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":4138147460,"sku":"","price":900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0374\/0649\/products\/72.JPG?v=1439173348"},{"product_id":"wayne-thiebaud","title":"Wayne Thiebaud.","description":"\u003cp\u003eWayne Thiebaud; Karen Tsujimoto; Washington (1985); 1st; VGVG; Folio; Not Ex-Library, Not Book Club, Not Print on Demand; Dj-Multi-color pictorial w\/white lettering to front, blue to spine, almost no perceptible edgewear, brodart protected; Dj- White w\/multi-color pictorial to front, purple + black lettering to spine, very minimal edgewear; Hb- Dark blue w\/title blind stamped to front, gilt to spine, almost no perceptible edgewear; 207pps- clean, flat, numerous color plates; Endpages-Pink w\/previous owner's name blindstamped to front endpage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA wonderfully ungimmicky,artist, Thiebaud belongs more to a classical tradition of painting than to the Pop revolution that first propelled him to national attention in the 1960s.

His artistic styles range from simple pen-and-ink drawings to near-abstract scribbles to hyper-rendered surrealism to fantastic landscapes bursting with color. The oil paintings are where he really shines, not just accepting color, but embracing it, with a hyperactive style that incorporates impossibly thick layers of oil, sometimes with thin lines scraped out with a steak knife, all using such a broad palette of colors that one's eyes practically go into overload just looking at them. Included are roughly 300 pieces ranging from the youthfully whimsical (a portly man w\/a snail for a hat), to the beautifully dark (an arsonist cloaked in flames), to the bleakly humorous (a man resting his bandaged hands around either side of a bladed penis), to the horrifically erotic (a man laps the blood out of his lover's gaping chest wound). -From Carl Lyon: Monsters at Play\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"formerly Shakespeare and Company Books, now VIcarious Experience","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":4138624836,"sku":"","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0374\/0649\/products\/T2eC16R_yME9s5qHBPLBQw5nSNHdg_60_57.JPG?v=1439175947"},{"product_id":"the-world-of-ting-shao-kuang-signed","title":"World of Ting Shao Kuang signed","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe World of Ting Shao Kuang; Japan Broadcast Pub(1995); Signed; TP w\/DJ; Folio; VGVG; Not Ex-Library, Not Book Club, Not Print on Demand; Trade Paper-Dark blue formed paper(green on verso w\/ matching endpapers), no lettering, very minimal edgewear; DUST JACKET-Multi-colored pictorial w\/black lettering, very minimal edgewear, brodart protected; 125ppg- No markings, pages white, flat, smudging on edges.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTing Shao Kuang, a prominent contemporary Chinese painter in America, has produced works characterized by a combination of traditional Chinese painting techniques and the more expressive Western art forms.

Art historian Spike, who lives in Florence and serves as a guest curator in Europe and the U.S., boldly hypothesizes that the iconography of Masaccio's frescoes in the Brancacci Chapel of Florence--with their descending tiers of heaven, sky, sea and land--was based on the creation story in Genesis. In his engaging essay on Masaccio's life and work, Spike locates sources for the artist's naturalism in Donatello's sculpture and in the classical proportions of Brunelleschi's architecture. Rejecting the prevailing assumption that Filippino Lippi's additions to Masaccio's fresco of Saint Peter, executed in the 1450s, left Masaccio's basic composition intact, Spike argues that Lippi radically reworked the original. -Publisher’s Weekly","brand":"formerly Shakespeare and Company Books, now VIcarious Experience","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":4163583812,"sku":"","price":280.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0374\/0649\/products\/157.JPG?v=1439273840"},{"product_id":"imagination-cycle-by-ginny-ruffner-author-artist","title":"Imagination Cycle by Ginny Ruffner (Author\/Artist)","description":"Imagination Cycle; Ginny Ruffner(Author\/Artist), Bruce Foster(Paper Engineering\/Design); Museum of Northwest Art(2008); 1st; 8vo; VG\/ VG; Not ex-lib, Not remainder, Not Book Club; HB-Stiff accordion pleated, multi-colored cardstock supporting sculptural pop-up design on both sides bound w\/flexible cloth strips,very minimal edgewear; Slipcase- Multi-color pictorial w\/black lettering to cover + spine, no apparent edgewear\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGinny Ruffner is an artist who is recognized for her versatility in glass and in combining glass with other materials.

SIX BOOK BOXED SET limited to just 1,000 copies worldwide with signed color art print. First Edition. This six-book boxed set is the first collection of Robert Crumb sketches to be printed from the original art since the hard-bound, slipcased, seven volume series issued by the German publisher Zweitausendeins between 1981 and 1997. Unlike the Zweitausendeins edition, which included every doodle ever made by the preeminent underground artist, this best-of edition has been personally edited by the notoriously picky artist to include only what he considers his finest work, including hundreds of late period drawings not published in previous sketchbook collections. Robert Crumb requested that the books representing the second half of his career be published first due to fan demand for new Crumb material (Volume 1 covers the period 1982-2011, and Volume 2 covers the period 1964-1981). In the last 20 years Crumb's artistic output has slowed considerably, making new works more rare and highly prized. This collection of over 600 unseen drawings created between 1996 and 2011 makes this a must-have collectible for every Crumb fan. The slipcased set is made with loving attention to detail in a size and format selected by the artist. Each book in the boxed set contains 224 pages, for a total of 1,344 pages of prime Crumb. The set includes a hand-written introduction, and marbleized page edges from a design created by the artist.

While attending junior high school, she discovered a knife at a SONY shop in Ginza, Tokyo that made a deep impression on her. She felt it emitted an invisible power, one that's hard to describe, a power that was about to change her whole life. She soon enrolled at Tama Art University where she studied industrial design. At about this time, a book on knives caught her attention, and the fascination was unreal. Her final design project for college was, believe it or not, was a unique set of kitchen knives. At the age of 21 this talented lady nwas deigning and making knives, never realising where this love of knives would lead her. After college she was employed as a designer at a watch company for two years. Here she discovered there is a great difference between mass produced products and those that are skillfully handmade. She immediately knew she wanted to design and make knives, and that handmade knives would be precious to behold, whereas factory knives would not.\u003cbr\u003eHarumi soon began designing beautiful folding knives as well as fixed blade knives, all of which were unique and one of a kind. Harumi soon qualified for membership in the Knifemakers Guild in the United States and attended her first \"Guild Show\" when it was based in Kansas City, in 1985.

It began at that time, and the later details hardly matter anymore. My entire life consisted in elaborating what had burst forth from the unconscious and flooded me like an enigmatic stream and threatened to break me. That was the stuff and material for more than only one life. Everything later was merely the outer classification, scientific elaboration, and the integration into life. But the numinous beginning, which contained everything, was then.\"- C.G. Jung\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom 1914 until 1930, C. G. Jung recorded, revised, rewrote, recopied and painstakingly illustrated what he considered “the numinous beginning” from which all the rest of his work derived. “The Red Book,” or as Jung called it, “Liber Novus,” consisted of some 200 parchment pages of meticulous calligraphy and visionary paintings collected into a huge folio bound in red leather. While its content, either whole or in part, was made available to a handful of colleagues and patients, its publication was postponed until now, nearly 50 years after his death, because Jung feared the book’s potential impact on his reputation. After all, anyone who read it might conclude what Jung himself first suspected: that the great doctor had lost his mind. - another seller's blurb\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"formerly Shakespeare and Company Books, now VIcarious Experience","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":5322456498203,"sku":"","price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0374\/0649\/products\/20171217_160125.jpg?v=1513557459"},{"product_id":"angels-and-visitations-a-miscellany-by-neil-gaiman-54-of-200-copies-signed-by-neil-gaiman-and-the-eight-participant-artists","title":"Angels and Visitations: A Miscellany by Neil Gaiman. #54 of 200 copies SIGNED BY NEIL GAIMAN AND THE EIGHT PARTICIPANT ARTISTS.","description":"\u003cp\u003eAngels and Visitations: A Miscellany by Neil Gaiman. #54 of 200 copies SIGNED BY NEIL GAIMAN AND THE EIGHT PARTICIPANT ARTISTS.

Eventually, John Hejduk's \"hard-line\" modernist space-making exercises, heavily influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, moved away from his interests in favor of free-hand \"figure\/objects\" influenced by mythology and spirituality, clearly expressing the nature of his poetry. The relationship between Hejduk's shape\/objects and their surroundings is a controversial subject, raising questions similar to those raised by the early houses of Peter Eisenman.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe architectural historian K. Michael Hays has described Hejduk's architecture as one of \"Encounter\", describing Hejduk's objects as seeming \"impossibly, to be aware of us, to address us. And yet we see not the gratifying reflection of ourselves we had hoped for but another thing, looking back at us, watching us, placing us\", articulating Hejduk's work from a post-modern Lacanian perspective as more \"literary\" than that of his peers.\" - Wikipedia\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"formerly Shakespeare and Company Books, now VIcarious Experience","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40289085522029,"sku":"","price":2000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0374\/0649\/products\/20220827_161304.jpg?v=1661646766"},{"product_id":"artists-cocktails-by-ryan-gander-second-edition","title":"Artists' Cocktails by Ryan Gander.  second edition.","description":"Artists' Cocktails by Ryan Gander.
