Peter London Livres

This book is about using art as an instrument of personal transformation, enabling us to move from an inherited to a chosen state of being. Peter London offers inspiration and fresh ideas to artists, art students, and art teachers—as well as to people who think they can't draw a straight line but want to explore the joys of creative expression. Inside every person, he believes, there is an original, creative self that has been covered over by secondhand ideas, borrowed beliefs, and conditioned behavior. By freeing the capacity for visual expression—a natural human language possessed by everyone—we can awaken and release the full powers of that original self. Among the topics and exercises included are:    •  How to increase the ability to visualize, fantasize, and dream    •  Obstacles to the creative encounter and what to do about them    •  Experimenting with art media as true mediators between imagination and expression    •  Making masks to reveal the hidden self    •  Painting with "forbidden" colors    •  Arranging found objects as metaphors for one's life

The book details the evolution of British flying boats, highlighting over 100 models developed from the early 20th century until the jet age. It chronicles the challenges faced in early water takeoff attempts and the significant role these aircraft played during World War I and II, particularly in anti-submarine operations and global maritime defense. The interwar period saw a rise in civil flying boats, catering to commercial air travel. Despite their wartime success, these aircraft dwindled in use post-war, fading into obscurity by the mid-1950s.
