Items related to Tough and Tender : Sheila Rock
A collection of Sheila Rock's photographs of the faded grandeur of British seaside towns, and of the curious people who reside there
No matter where you are in England, you are no more than a few hundred miles from the sea. There is an unexplained attraction to the edges of the land. England is an island nation and the sea has a mysterious power on the psyche. People are drawn to the seashore. The sea is expansive and allows the mind to be free and the imagination to slip off to faraway places. An island is, however, confined. This juxtaposition encourages an interesting mix of people. English summertime is short; not always sunny. Seaside towns are full of the old Grandeur of long ago. They are fragile places; joy is tinged with the sadness of the passage of time. Sheila Rock's photographs and portraits express a great deal about the uniqueness of the English. They have resolution of spirit and strength. They have courage to sunbathe on rocky coasts, laugh in the pouring rain and stand in the mud when the skies are forever grey.

Book Description Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Egal, wo man sich in England aufhält, man befindet sich stets nureinige hundert Kilometer vom Meer entfernt. Eine unerklärliche Faszination geht von der Küste aus. England ist eine Inselnation, deren Psyche auf mystische Art und Weise vom Ozean beeinflusst wird. Die Menschen fühlen sich von der Küste angezogen. Das Meer in seiner unermesslichen Weite erlaubt dem Bewußtseinfrei zu sein und der Imagination, zu entfernten Orten abzudriften. Andererseits ist eine Insel auch immer von ihren Begrenzungen bestimmt. Diese Gegensätze bringen eine interessante Mischung unterschiedlicher Charaktere hervor.Der Sommer in England ist meist kurz und nicht immer sonnig.Die Küstenstädte besitzen immer noch den alten Glanz längst vergangener Zeiten. Es sind fragile Orte, wenn man so will: Freude ist immer mit einer Prise Melancholie und der Erinnerung an alte Zeiten gefärbt.Die Fotografien Sheila Rocks handeln von der Einzigartigkeit der Engländer, von deren Entschlossenheit und Kraft. Sie sonnen sich mutig an steinigen Küsten, lachen im strömenden Regen und stehen im Schlamm, wenn der Himmel für immer grau zu sein scheint. Sie sind hart im Nehmen und doch zart - tough and tender. 120 pp. Englisch. Seller Inventory # 9783868285475
