Painting in the Dark: Esref Armagan, Blind Artist

Autor Rachelle Burk Ilustrat de Claudia Gadotti
en Limba Engleză Hardback – iul 2016
In 1953, Esref Armagan was born completely blind to a poor family in Istanbul, Turkey. He received no formal education, and spent his childhood days in his father's shop where he developed the curiosity to create and draw. He experienced the world through touch, and learned to visually reproduce his surroundings, including colour, shadows, and perspective, with his hands. The blind artist's story will be an inspiration to young artists of all abilities.

Recenzii

"Mr. Armagan is an important figure in the history of picture-making, and in the history of knowledge. His work is remarkable. I was struck by the drawings he has made as much as by his work with paint. He has demonstrated for the first time that a blind person can develop on his or her own pictorial skills the equal of most depiction by the sighted. This has not happened before in the history of picture-making." --John M. Kennedy, Professor, Perception/Cognition Psychology, University of Toronto at Scarborough
" . . . a valuable addition to any elementary school curriculum. The author is to be commended for sharing the story of this largely unknown painter in this well-written, entertaining, and inspiring book." --Stephanie Kieszak-Holloway, President of the Georgia Organization of Parents of Blind Children (GOPBC), Board Member of the National Organization of Parents of Blind Children (NOPBC)
". . . a story of talent, perseverance, and refusal to accept limitations. Esref's triumph will inspire young readers to stretch toward goals they may not have believed were within their reach. This is a thoroughly researched manuscript is a story of talent, perseverance, and refusal to accept limitations. Esref's triumph will inspire young readers to stretch toward goals they may not have believed were within their reach. This is a thoroughly researched manuscript that introduces young readers to a remarkable artist they will long remember." --Deborah Stein Kent, National Federation of the Blind
"I feel connected to Esref through Ms. Burk's book. May Painting in the Dark break down our misconceptions and encourage us all to find our internal vision, to follow our heart's desires, and never pre-judge our neighbor's abilities." Barbara Oswald, blind artist, photographer, gallery owner, Program Coordinator for the Disability Resource Center at Bellevue College in Seattle.
"Fills a niche that is much needed -- biographies of people with disabilities which are both educational and enjoyable, and which do not focus on the disability itself. . . . The book is uplifting and inspiring. . . . Its educational and scientific details give it depth." Laura Weber Secretary, National Organization of Parents of Blind Children President, Texas Parents of Blind Children
" An inspiring story about an inspiring individual . . ." Dr. Penny Hartin, Chief Executive Officer, World Blind Union
