Every human is a myriad of various facades like the rainbow traversing a prism emitting various shades. Often one colour outstrips the other like the insignia of life. Canvas is a window into the varied facets of human existence. Initially starting off with seven short stories of seven different females, the author inter-weaves them to the confluence of a single novel, which portrays the different facets of a female in tune with colours of the rainbow and takes the reader on a deeper inner journey, beyond the prismatic spectrum, into the mystique shades of invisible ultra-violet or infra-red rays, where dwells the real truth of human realization.

From Word to Canvas: Appropriations of Myth in Women’s Aesthetic Production is an innovative collection of essays on female aesthetic production and myth, examining the ways in which women artists and writers utilize myth to negotiate their perceptions of feminine identity and feminine representation in an increasingly complex and culturally hybrid world. The featured essays and artistic contributions address a variety of contemporary female productions, including literature, performance, and visual art, in a markedly global scope. Representing a wide range of cultures, languages, geographic locales, and social contexts—from Jewish-Hindu and Kenyan-German, through Irish, Italian, American, to Vietnamese folktales—this diversified selection underscores the agency of “the feminine gaze” across a historical and geopolitical span, a gaze through which myths from various cultures and different cultural amalgams speak to us with force and with significance. The potency of this gaze is linked to the potential of myth simultaneously to encompass and compress history, and to offer the result as a backdrop against which the move from word to canvas—or from a mythic tale to its aesthetic appropriation—is performed in female aesthetic production.

“An artist does not produce the visible, he renders things visible. He reveals what we cannot see. He opens our eyes blinded by habit. He advances into the very heart of creation. He grasps life’s hidden forces and reveals them on canvas” – Govind Madhav Solegaonkar. Beyond the Canvas is a narrative account of the life story of the master artist, Govind Solegaonkar, as seen through the eyes of his youngest granddaughter, Renuka. Govind Solegaonkar (1912–1986) was an artist who made a significant contribution to Indian art. An alumnus of the JJ School of Art and later the president of the Indian Art Society, Solegaonkar’s life was the epitome of burning passion and complete dedication to art. Renuka, a doctor and an artist herself, was two years old when Govind Solegaonkar passed away. Having known her grandfather only through his paintings, Renuka wanted to understand him and his life better. Feeling stuck in her artistic journey, she was looking for answers to questions about the meaning of art, artistry and the pursuit of one’s passion. What did it mean to be an artist? What does it take to follow one’s heart? Through Solegaonkar’s life story, his paintings and his writings, Renuka goes on an explorative journey to understand the artist behind the art.

Think of a senior leader from one of the most reputed corporate houses who had the privilege of leading 5,000 employees for many years while leading a site and has almost 40 years of working experience with leaders, managers and young employees. Now, the same leader has superannuated, but he is equally engaged with people, playing golf on weekends and travelling to various places to meet people and celebrate life. During some of the reflections on golf courses in the most beautiful cities in India and abroad, he is thinking of his life and career lessons which he now decides to share with the world. While being on golf courses on every weekend in morning hours, he is looking back and connecting the dots. As Steve Jobs said - we can connect the dots only when we look backwards. In his journey starting from a little village in Bihar to the golf courses in some of the largest cities in India and abroad, he finds many stories, lessons and connections which will, for sure, benefit youngsters and in fact people from any age group. There are lessons of discipline, persistence, consistency, clarity, focus, courage, fearlessness, risk taking, care for people and a winning mindset to convert challenges into opportunities which come out as he narrates his story which has a deep and everlasting fragrance of nostalgia. While people from Generation X and Y can connect with the stories, people from Generation Z, etc. will also find these equally compelling and interesting. Mr Ojha was born in a village without even a basic school and had every reason to crib and complain. Today, he considers himself blessed and privileged to fund the construction of a modern high school in the same village. The journey in between - which moves through various parts of India and the world and also through some of the biggest corporate houses, is encapsulated in this inspiring and thrilling book. This book has an encaptivating story of his travel from a small village to Jamshedpur and from there to West Bokaro before travelling across many other countries while working with some of the best brains in the world and learning a lot of lessons on the way. Mr Ojha wants to share these with the youth - and people from other generations alike - hoping that some of these will make sense to them and will help them run their own race of life successfully. Let the world be a better place to live, love, laugh and work, and this is the goal with which 'Canvas of the Green' has come to shape.

The most authoritative publication in nearly fifty years on the subject of conserving paintings on canvas. In 2019, Yale University, with the support of the Getty Foundation, held an international conference, where nearly four hundred attendees from more than twenty countries gathered to discuss a vital topic: how best to conserve paintings on canvas. It was the first major symposium on the subject since 1974, when wax-resin and glue-paste lining reigned as the predominant conservation techniques. Over the past fifty years, such methods, which were often destructive to artworks, have become less widely used in favor of more minimalist approaches to intervention. More recent decades have witnessed the reevaluation of traditional practices as well as focused research supporting significant new methodologies, procedures, and synthetic materials for the care and conservation of paintings on fabric supports. Conserving Canvas compiles the proceedings of the conference, presenting a wide array of papers and posters that provide important global perspectives on the history, current state, and future needs of the field. Featuring an expansive glossary of terms that will be an invaluable resource for conservators, this publication promises to become a standard reference for the international conservation community. The free online edition of this open-access publication is available at getty.edu/publications/conserving-canvas. Also available are free PDF and EPUB downloads of the book.
