A.C.I.: Painting, sculpture, works on paper, prints, contemporary media
Art Catalogue Index (A.C.I.) aims to provide a comprehensive list of all the catalogues raisonnés and reviews on artists born between 1780 and the postwar period. This first edition is focused on the so-called 'modern' period. It starts with the birth of Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, in 1780 in Montauban, who competed for the Prix de Rome in 1800 with his contemporaries; he therefore both witnessed and took part in this turning point in time which opened the gates of the 'modern' period, and which led up to today and contemporary art. Published with BFAS, Geneva, and Thierry Meaudre, Paris. English text.
Lockwood de Forest
"This is the first scholarly book on de Forest. It explores his career in the decorative arts by examining cultural context, material culture, biography, and patronage. Lockwood de Forest (1850-1932) is best known as an artistic decorator with a flair for designs based on the arts and crafts of the Middle East and India. He began his career in partnership with Louis Comfort Tiffany. By 1883, de Forest had his own business and successfully introduced the East Indian craft revival to the United States. His interior designs and furnishings were embraced by some of the wealthiest families of the Gilded Age. His family home at 7 East Tenth Street in New York City served as a designer showcase and was compared to Arab Hall, a pinnacle of exotic design that was part of Frederic, Lord Leighton's home and studio in Holland Park, London. Complemented by sixty color plates and 132 black-and-white illustrations." --Publisher description.

Guide de médiumnité - Contact, guérison, créativité
La médiumnité est intrinsèquement liée à la spiritualité, la sagesse, le respect de la Source et la certitude de l'Amour inconditionnel dont nous procédons tous. On ne peut pas être médium ou s'intéresser à la canalisation sans espérer le bien autour de soi. Être médium, c'est être canal entre la Terre et le ciel, entre les mondes incarné et spirituel. Parce que cela implique de cultiver dans une profonde ouverture du cœur et de faire silence en soi, la médiumnité peut être considérée comme une véritable VOIE INITIATIQUE. Que l'on en fasse son travail ou pas, c'est un chemin magnifique d'élargissement de son champ de conscience, de maîtrise de soi, de spiritualisatio...

Joanna Reinhard loses her job as a software engineer but refuses to adjust her reckless spending. To keep her three dogs and two horses (the mare menacing and pregnant), she moves in with her best friend, Margaret Lewis, paying for her family’s lodging by fixing up Margaret’s house and barn for sale. Joanna’s world grows more complicated when Margaret’s manipulative son Davey comes home from college and reawakens Joanna’s buried memories of childhood abuse and her anger at an early marriage to a domineering husband. Margaret, however, refuses to acknowledge her son’s predatory behavior. Joanna hires a local stable manager, Wayne Armstrong, to lend a hand with the heavy work in renovating the barn. His muscles and equipment are a great help, but his “little woman” attitude grates against Joanna’s self-sufficient temperament. The friendship between Joanna and Wayne begins with verbal clashes, but develops into an emotional haven for Joanna when Davey attacks her beloved dogs and horses and Margaret emotionally deserts her.
