The most detailed, fascinating, and lively account of old Siam was written by the Dutch merchant Jeremias Van Vliet between 1636 and 1640. This volume includes all four of his writings in English translation: the earliest surviving chronicle of Siam's history; a wide-ranging description of the kingdom's geography, economy, society, politics, and religion; a blow-by-blow account of a bloody power struggle over the crown; and the Dutchman's diary during a crisis -- the Picnic Incident -- published here for the first time. The editors add new details on Van Vliet's life, the Dutch community, the city of Ayutthaya, and the court of King Prasat Thong, which set this ordinary merchant's extraordinary literary work into its context of time and place.

Walter D.Liedtke,Architectural painting in Delft.Gerard Houchgeest - Hendrick Van Vliet and Emmanuele De Witte.Doornspijk 1982 Davaco Publishers Pages 154 ills.130 in b/n ( 13 tavole a colori ) Quarto cloth - Aetas Aurea Volume III Aetas Aurea, III ARCHITECTURAL PAINTING IN DELFT Walter A. Liedtke Gerard Houckgeest - Hendrick van Vliet - Emanuel de Witte 1982. 4to. 154 pp. text and 130 plates (14 in color). Cloth bound ISBN 90-70288-11-7 Architectural Painting in Delft is a thorough study of the pictures of church interiors painted in Delft by Gerard Houckgeest, Hendrick van Vliet and Emanuel de Witte. Their sources in earlier artists like Pieter Saenredam and Bartholomeus van Bassen, their influence on contemporaries like Anthony de Lorme, Daniel de Blieck and the Berckheyde brothers, and the entire Amsterdam career of Emanuel de Witte are also discussed. A very different view of De Witte's work is taken than that found in the standard monograph (Manke, 1963), particularly in respect to the attribution, dating, and relationship to Houckgeest of De Witte's earliest church interiors. Revisions to Manke's catalogue, a catalogue of the pictures of actual churches painted by Houckgeest, and a long oeuvre list of the church interiors painted by Van Vliet are appended to the five chapters of text. Finally, a discussion and list of the church interiors painted by Cornelis de Man take into account pictures that have very recently come to light or are here attributed to him. The book is based on the author's doctoral dissertation completed at the Courtauld Institute in 1974, but it is completely rewritten and revised, and considers literature published and pictures known by January, 1982. language : english text Size: Quarto

Biography. Art Criticism. For more than seventeen years, Don Van Vliet made music under the name Captain Beefheart. When he walked away from music, he turned to his other art and is now an internationally known and collected abstract painter. RIDING SOME KIND OF UNUSUAL SKULL SLEIGH looks at the phases of Van Vliet's musical career through the lens of the new, ecological theories of mind which were emerging at the time Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band were beginning to record. The result is a unique interpretation of Van Vliet's music and motives—Van Vliet as Gaia microcasm—which looks at both his genius and the darker side of his Captain Beefheart persona. The author also offers a detailed analysis of Van Vliet's drawings and paintings and suggests that art world acceptance has drastically changed his art—and perhaps the artist himself. No illustrations.

With Don Van Vliet retired from music (and long ill, culminating in his death in late 2010), all the world's rabid fans of his music were forced to look to their records and to YouTube for decades. Then, an all-star assemblage of players in his Magic Band (John French, Denny Walley, Gary Lucas, Mark Boston and Michael Traylor) came together for a series of breathlessly awaited European shows from 2003-06; this one, from June 2005, was one of the best: Big Eyed Beans from Venus; Low Yo Yo Stuff;

Here is the real story of the cult figure known as one of modern music’s true innovators.  Following Don Van Vliet's death, Mike Barnes reassesses his legacy through new interview material and with reference to reports and eulogies that appeared in the media.  The author also puts Van Vliet's reclusiveness over the last two decades in context, now that it has been officially revealed that he was suffering from MS (his friends and representatives had always denied that he had a long term illness).  A unique in-depth look at a unique artist.

In the mid 19th century many Germans migrated to the Midwestern United States. Many of them were influenced by the Reformation as well as the theology of John Calvin. When many of them settled in Illinois, Wisconsin, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska and South Dakota, Adrian Van Vliet, a minister of First Presbyterian Church in Dubuque, Iowa made it his mission to train ministers for these new immigrants. Out of this effort came the University of Dubuque and the University of Dubuque Theological Seminary. A second result was the banding together of 85 churches who formed the German speaking Synod of the West under the authority of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (USA). For nearly 47 years these churches reached out to the new immigrants and acted as an agent of change to not only evangelize them but also to introduce them into the American way of life and the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) This is the story of that 47 year journey, from 1912 - 1959. Layout and Photographs by Jean E. Straatmeyer

The unclassifiable music of Don Van Vliet―alias Captain Beefheart―and his departure from performing in the 80s have mystified fans and followers for years, and kept the rumor mills busy. Mike Barnes' Captain Beefheart: The Biography puts those rumors to rest as it tells the strange but true tale of a musical genius and his otherworldly odyssey from the California desert to stages and studios across the world.Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band arrived in the public consciousness in 1969 with the two-album set Trout Mask Replica, eventually praised by Rolling Stone as one of the best records of all time. Distilling a new audio experience from blues, psychedelic rock, and free jazz, the Captain and his band went on to confound journalists, intrigue reviewers, and amaze listeners with a decade and a half of albums and performances. Yet after recording his final album Ice Cream for Crow in 1982, Beefheart left music to begin a successful career as an internationally exhibited painter. His reluctance to give interviews has only enhanced the Captain Beefheart mystique.For his thoroughly researched biography of Beefheart, journalist Mike Barnes interviewed friends, acolytes, and members of the Magic Band to get the full story of Beefheart's collaborations and conflicts with kindred spirit Frank Zappa, his 're-education' of the members of the Magic Band, and the legal battles that kept the album Bat Chain Puller from ever being released. Barnes' biography illuminates the enigmatic artist, and brings the reader to an understanding of his creative drive.Previously published only in the U. K., the U. S. edition of Captain Beefheart: The Biography contains new material and new photographs.
