SUMMARY:Medieval & Renaissance Manuscripts: Designing the Book
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Book Club of California \n \nBefore the invention of the printing press by Johannes Gutenberg in the mid-15th century\, books were designed\, written\, and illustrated by hand. Today these handmade manuscripts are highly valued\, and greatly sought after by collectors and institutions around the world. \n This presentation addresses two aspects of illustration in medieval and Renaissance manuscripts before the dominance of the printed book. First\, it defines the components and principles of decoration that are featured in many manuscripts\, ranging from full-page miniatures to the minor decoration of small painted initials and line-fillers. Second\, it focuses on several types and genres of manuscripts\, including illuminations in Bibles\, liturgical books\, legal texts\, classical works\, and the extremely popular Books of Hours. The overall theme of the presentation is how manuscript illustrations help the reader navigate through a text\, whether it is written in Latin or in a vernacular language. \n An in-person and virtual presentation by Barbara A. Shailor\, PhD FSA\, author\, researcher\, professor of paleography and codicology\, and President\, The American Trust for the British Library \n ** The Windle-Loker Lecture Series on the History of the Illustrated Book \n** Co-presented & co-hosted by The American Trust for The British Library \nTo register for the Virtual event: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_hYrD7q2ySEGz45gQoHmKUQ#/registration

SUMMARY:Jonathan Senchyne on The Salisbury Club: Buffalo Bibliophiles
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by the Caxton Club. \nFebruary Midday Program \nJonathan Senchyne\, Associate Professor & Director\, Center for the History of Print and Digital Culture\, University of Wisconsin – Madison \n \nOh we’re gonna shuffle-uffle-uffle off to Buffalo. \nYou won’t have to navigate the crowds at Grand Central Station to shuffle off to Buffalo. Just click a Zoom link and you’ll be transported to the Nickel City during what designers now call the mid-Century modern era. \nAs you arrive\, you’ll be swept along to meet the Salisbury Club\, a bibliophilic society that grew out of a friends group of the rare books branch of the Buffalo Public Library. During their time together\, the members promoted public collections at the Buffalo library\, the local historical society\, and the University of Buffalo. \nThey also published a handful of private fine press editions (with stunning wood-cut illustrations) that highlighted little known documents as well as national figures with upstate New York connections. (For instance\, it’s an easy drive from Buffalo to Elmira … if there was any well-known author who took up a Conklin fountain pen there.) \nIf you’ll be eating lunch as you watch\, and Buffalo wings are too spicy\, then put some brats\, cheese soup\, and maybe a bottle of Spotted Cow on the menu. We’ll be in the company of Jonathan Senchyne\, Associate Professor of Book History and Print Culture in the Information School and Director of the Center for the History of Print and Digital Culture at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Go Badgers! \nSo avoid a kerfuffle as off you shuffle and book into Buffalo today! \nPreregistration required via website. Zoom presentation is free and open to all. Please forward this notice to anyone who may find it of interest.  \nEven if you can’t attend at the scheduled time\, if you’re interested\, please register. After the program\, we’ll send anemail to all registrants\, asking if you’d like a link to the complete recording. That way you can see the program even if you couldn’t attend live\, ran into technical issues\, or simply wanted to watch it again. \nFor more information\, and to register\, click here: https://caxtonclub.org/event-6029995/Registration \nRegister today! \n  \n

SUMMARY:The Man Beneath the Paint: California Impressionist Tilden Daken
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Book Club of California \nThe untold\, multifaceted story of one of the most adventurous and prolific landscape painters of the American West. California Impressionist Tilden Daken (1876–1935)\, famous in his day\, painted in every California state park and national park in the West—from the redwood forests to the High Sierra—and beneath the Pacific Ocean in a custom-built diving bell. In The Man Beneath the Paint\, Bonnie Portnoy\, Daken’s granddaughter\, has deftly defined his indomitable spirit\, audacious exploits\, insatiable curiosity\, and endlessly colorful life during the era of California Impressionism—from the early 1900s to the onset of the Great Depression. A close friend of writer Jack London\, Daken lost his home and studio in San Francisco’s 1906 earthquake\, got caught up in the Mexican Revolution\, and participated in the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition. A portrait of perpetual motion\, he ventured on art expeditions to Mexico\, Baja\, Hawaii\, and the South Seas; spoke out against the oncoming forces of modern art; socialized with many famous personalities of his era; and demonstrated his sensory synesthesia to the Hollywood crowd\, painting to music in the “key of red.” Notwithstanding his wanderings\, frequent relocations\, and persistent self-promotion\, he painted constantly and with passion. His legacy lives on\, thanks to the thousands of canvases he painted of California’s stunning scenery more than a century ago. \n An in-person and virtual presentation by Bonnie Portnoy\, author \nTo register for the online event\, follow this link: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_ulQ1JwWQQVi_-uknYvdbTg#/registration
