Zwischen 1921 und 1933 porträtiert Otto Dix (1891-1969) seine Geliebte und spätere Ehefrau Martha immer wieder. Repräsentative Gemälde, Aquarelle, Zeichnungen und humoristische Briefzeichnungen zeigen Martha Dix in unterschiedlichen Rollen: als mondäne, emanzipierte Frau, als Geliebte, Muse und geistreiche Gefährtin, als Mutter und Mittelpunkt der Familie. Die verschiedenen Haltungen des Malers zum Modell, die von Bewunderung über Intimität bis zunehmender Distanz reichen, setzen sich in eine Vielfalt von Porträtweisen um; emotional aufgeladene bis nüchtern beschreibende Werktitel unterstreichen diesen Eindruck. Marthas Porträts zeigen dabei nicht nur die Kunst von Otto Dix in ihren vielgestaltigen Facetten. Sie zeichnen auch ein Bild der 1920er Jahre mit großstädtischem Flair, tradierten und neuen Geschlechterrollen, Mode, Musik, Tanz und dem Wunsch nach Freiheit in Kunst und Leben. Buch und Ausstellung entstanden in enger Kooperation mit der Otto Dix Stiftung, Vaduz, die 1983 von Martha Dix gegründet wurde. Zur Autorin: Karin Schick (*1968), Studium der Kunstgeschichte, Philosophie und Germanistik in Tübingen und Boston; Promotion über die Rezeption Paul Cézannes in den USA; Veröffentlichungen zur Klassischen Moderne und zeitgenössischen Kunst. Seit 2002 Stellvertretende Direktorin des Kunstmuseum Stuttgart, in dessen Bestand sich die umfangreichste museale Sammlung an Werken von Otto Dix befindet.

A Harrowing Account of Addiction, Recovery, and Relapse
Format: Hardcover
Greg Pizzoli’s The Watermelon Seed offers a deceptively simple yet profound exploration of addiction, recovery, and relapse. Through the crocodile’s obsessive love for watermelon, his panic upon swallowing a seed mirrors the fear and anxiety of losing control. The cycle of indulgence, dread, and inevitable return to the source of both pleasure and distress reflects the cyclical nature of addiction. Pizzoli’s playful illustrations mask a darker undercurrent: the crocodile knows watermelon may harm him — yet he cannot resist. A chillingly accurate portrait of the addictive mind, wrapped in the guise of a children’s story.

It is fun and enjoyable to read over and over again with a child that just has to have it read every single night to them. The story is sweet, simple and meaningful. Whether you are looking for a book for your child, another child or the child in yourself-dive right in. This one is terrific!

Cute but
Format: Hardcover
Caution that some children may be alarmed by the crocodile swallowing the watermelon seed. Know your audience. Otherwise a very cute, silly story that is great for a summer read or watermelon theme lesson.

A Special Education Treasure
Format: Board book
I bought this book with one student in mind. A third grade autistic, non verbal, girl with a love for books, animals and reflective surfaces (windows, puddles, utensils and mirrors to name a few). The bright, cheerful illustration was the immediate interest upon her first look. The engaging fun story kept her attention. The last page captivated her. What a complete joy to watch! She will now say "Wiggle" when she wants this book - several times a day. She follows along with her finger while I read. I do not read the last page. She does that all ON HER OWN! Did I mention non verbal?! I'm purchasing another as a Christmas surprise for her to have at home. I highly recommend this book as a fixture in the classroom for Special Education and Early Learning.
