An Episode in the Life of a Landscape Painter is the story of a moment in the life of the German artist Johan Moritz Rugendas (1802-1858). Greatly admired as a master landscape painter, he was advised by Alexander von Humboldt to travel West from Europe to record the spectacular landscapes of Chile, Argentina, and Mexico. Rugendas did in fact become one of the best of the nineteenth-century European painters to venture into Latin America. However this is not a biography of Rugendas. This work of fiction weaves an almost surreal history around the secret objective behind Rugendas' trips to America: to visit Argentina in order to achieve in art the "physiognomic totality" of von Humboldt's scientific vision of the whole. Rugendas is convinced that only in the mysterious vastness of the immense plains will he find true inspiration. A brief and dramatic visit to Mendosa gives him the chance to fulfill his dream. From there he travels straight out onto the pampas, praying for that impossible moment, which would come only at an immense pricean almost monstrously exorbitant price that would ultimately challenge his drawing and force him to create a new way of making art. A strange episode that he could not avoid absorbing savagely into his own body interrupts the trip and irreversibly and explosively marks him for life.Binding Type: Paperback

GET A VARIETY SET TO DECIDE WHICH FAVS TO BUY NEXT TIME. YOU’LL LIKELY WANT MORE FRESH OLIVES
Flavor Name: Green & Kalamata, Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 5)
I did learn of these on Shark Tank and was glad I could try them through Amazon. (I discovered the lemon garlic variety was the one I enjoyed most, so I reordered just those next time.) These are fresh-tasting and hard to stop snacking at one 4-olive serving. If I had guests over, it’s something others would also enjoy. Nice that they come in zipper pack to keep them fresh.

Amazing ‘Go-to’ snack + !
Flavor Name: Kalamata, Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 6)
First of all, the olives taste great. I’ve tried some other olive ‘snack’ brands in the past and Freestyle is completely next level in quality, texture and flavor!
Secondly, we have zero motivation to buy olives in the jar or at the Whole Foods counter now since these packs work for any application and never seem to get LOST in the back of the fridge. Great branding btw!
2 of our three kids (age 10 and 5) have taken notice and are now a fan of the ‘lemon garlic’. The 10 yr old was initially skeptical after reading the flavor 😂, but after trying them with me was totally down. My wife and I love all the flavors because we use them for different applications - Lemon Garlic and Spicy for snacking (obviously) and the Kalamata for recipes/cooking. My wife is Greek and loves that she now has a healthier alternative always on hand - has even inspired more Greek dishes!
Way to go and looking forward to more great Freestyle Snacks!

Delicious and satisfying. Put more in
Flavor Name: Original, Lemon Garlic, Hot & Spicy, Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 3)
Delicious. A bit over priced. Wish there were more in the package as I feel like I'm paying for packaging.
