Giorgione's Ambiguity
No full text50,000 word monograph on the Venetian painter Giorgione (ca. 1478-1510). Commissioned book for Reaktion Books, London. The Venetian painter known as Giorgione or ‘big George’ died at a young age in the dreadful plague of 1510, possibly having painted fewer than 25 works. But many of these are among the most mysterious and alluring in the history of art. Paintings such as the Three Philosophers and The Tempest remain compellingly elusive, seeming to deny the viewer the possibility of interpreting their meaning. Tom Nichols argues that this visual elusiveness was essential to Giorgione’s sensual approach, and that ambiguity is their defining quality. Through detailed discussions of all Giorgione’s works, Nichols shows that by abandoning the more intellectual tendencies of much Renaissance art, Giorgione made the world and its meanings appear always more inscrutable

Rugged Summit
No full textThe core of this story is a biography of Dr. Cecil Eugene Evans (1871-1958) who was President of Southwest Texas State 1911-1942. However, it was impossible to present the life of this man with a true and accurate perspective apart from the whole stage, the cast of characters, and the drama in which he so effectively played his part. Therefore, this is also the story of the Teacher’s Colleges in Texas and the struggle to survive and thrive in the first half of the 20th century. The Author of this book, Tom Nichols, was secretary to President Evans and a member of the teaching faculty at Southwest Texas University for many years.Journalism and Mass CommunicationCommon Experienc
