Download or read book Unseen Cinema written by Bruce Charles Posner and published by Filmmakers Showcase. This book was released on 2001 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El proyecto de recuperación de películas históricas Unseen Cinema explora en detalle los logros, desconocidos hasta la fecha, de los cineastas pioneros que desarrollaron su labor dentro y fuera de las fronteras de Estados Unidos durante el periodo formativo del cine americano. Con la colaboración de innumerables instituciones, desde los archivos de la Academia de Cine de Hollywood, el Museo de Arte Moderno de Nueva York (MOMA), el British Film Institute, el Deustchen Film museum hasta el Gosfilmofond de Russia, la recuperación de estas películas y su posterior organización en 7 discos postula una visión innovadora del cine experimental. Un buen número de estas películas no había estado disponible desde su creación hace más de un siglo, algunas nunca se habían proyectado en público, y en casi todos los casos, hasta ahora, no se disponía de una copia prístina de proyección. En palabras de su compilador se trata de rectificar una pequeña parte de la negligencia con la que se ha tratado a los primeros cineastas y películas de vanguardia. Pese a la exhaustiva labor de busca y rastreo por parte de Posner y otros historiadores del cine para desenterrar las copias de los filmes incluidos en la colección, a día de hoy muchas no han sido recuperadas.

Download or read book Niki Jean Posters written by Niki de Saint-Phalle and published by Prestel Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The poster art of Niki de Saint Phalle and Jean Tinguely is the last body of work of both artists that remains largely unknown to the general public. Shown here for the first time, in magnificent color, are all 41 of Niki's posters as well as 87 by Jean that, along with their joint projects, produce an invaluable catalogue raisonne of the graphic art of this unforgettable couple." "While Jean Tinguely's posters originally seemed like construction sketches for his kinetic objects, they later developed into rotating abstract color compositions. And, within a short time, Niki's posters became playgrounds for her Nanas. Well-padded and acrobatic, sometimes winged or merely a torso, they danced around the advertising columns of the world until the '90s."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Standing in the Tempest written by Steven A. Mansbach and published by MIT Press (MA). This book was released on 1991 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the publication of this stunningly illustrated account of the Hungarian avant-garde movement, an important missing link in early modern art can now be fully recognized. To such well-known names in the west as Lazslo Moholy-Nagy and Andor Weininger can now be added the contributions of Lajos Kassak, Sandor Bortnyik, Bela Uitz, and a host of other painters whose significance has long been obscured. The nearly 200 illustrations, many in full color, together with essays by leading American and Hungarian scholars and a comprehensive bibliography and comparative chronology, make this a definitive sourcebook that opens a new chapter in twentieth-century art. During the early twentieth century, central and eastern Europe provided fertile ground for major artistic developments. Hungarian painters, in particular, responded imaginatively and vigorously to the political and social changes leading up to and following World War I by "standing in the tempest" of political activism and attempting to redefine the role of art in society. Only in the past few years has it been possible once again to examine original works of art and to assess properly these painters' vital contribution.

Download or read book Sin in Soft Focus written by Mark A. Vieira and published by Harry N. Abrams. This book was released on 2003-03-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the spring of 1934, Hollywood faced what the Los Angeles Times called "the most serious crisis of its history." The film capital was under siege by censorship advocates who launched a boycott, demanding that the film industry enforce the Production Code it had adopted in 1930. For nearly five years, defiant producers had cited artistic freedom and flouted the Code, which forbade vulgarity, profanity, nudity, excessive violence, illegal drugs, adultery, "sex perversion," "white slavery," racial mingling, "lustful kissing," and suggestive dancing. In July 1934, the controversial films were outlawed. Today they are called "pre-Code." Sin in Soft Focus showcases a scintillating era in film history and tells how filmmakers sidestepped the Code. Mark A. Vieira draws on extensive research, interviews, and correspondence in the Production Code Administration files to tell the engaging, suspenseful, and often humorous story of the struggle between Hollywood and its reformers, weaving history, politics, and film into a full-blooded narrative. Illustrated with 275 film stills, many of them rare, the book captures the stunning visual artistry of the era.
