Book On the Good Ship Lollipop

Download or read book On the Good Ship Lollipop written by Horst Bredekamp and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 2019-03-04 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fondation Louis Vuitton by Frank O. Gehry rises from the Bois de Boulogne as a new landmark in the Parisian skyline. Gehry’s dynamic architecture is both glittering and multifaceted: is it a sailing vessel, an iceberg, or a sea monster? It fascinates with its wealth of references and, at the same time, escapes any clear-cut definition. Three outstanding representatives of different generations of art history, James S. Ackerman (†), Irving Lavin, and Horst Bredekamp have together paid a visit to the Fondation Louis Vuitton. They explore the building in three richly illustrated essays that try to fathom the floating architecture of the "magician" Gehry in the context of both art and architectural history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edwin B Massey Jr's GOODSHIP LOLLIPOP is a compelling compendium of powerful and richly profound poetry, spanning 1989-1996, composed by an exceptionally powerful free-form poet of extraordinary depth, vision and voice. Writing in free verse-in incredibly intimate yet ever truthful terms-Edwin traverses the vast length and breadth of art, history, literature, music and even mythology in speaking poetry that's as humanistic as it is majestic in its simplicty. He is and remains the true poetic MINSTREL of the San Francisco East Bay community, who so prodigiously yet unspeakably expounds more upon the spoken than the written word, leaving his readers struck with wonder and craving devouringly for more -Joseph Covino Jr, Publisher, Epic Press

Book Electronic Literature

Download or read book Electronic Literature written by Scott Rettberg and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2018-12-14 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electronic Literature considers new forms and genres of writing that exploit the capabilities of computers and networks – literature that would not be possible without the contemporary digital context. In this book, Rettberg places the most significant genres of electronic literature in historical, technological, and cultural contexts. These include combinatory poetics, hypertext fiction, interactive fiction (and other game-based digital literary work), kinetic and interactive poetry, and networked writing based on our collective experience of the Internet. He argues that electronic literature demands to be read both through the lens of experimental literary practices dating back to the early twentieth century and through the specificities of the technology and software used to produce the work. Considering electronic literature as a subject in totality, this book provides a vital introduction to a dynamic field that both reacts to avant-garde literary and art traditions and generates new forms of narrative and poetic work particular to the twenty-first century. It is essential reading for students and researchers in disciplines including literary studies, media and communications, art, and creative writing.

Book excerpt: (Applause Books). Shirley Temple was a phenomenon, a child star whose talent and personality earned her a permanent place in Hollywood history. The extraordinary six-year-old entertainer struck a chord with audiences all over the globe. Her career sparked a marketing sensation, spurring the production of anything and everything bearing her image-from dolls to tin whistles-in all corners of the globe, both authorized and unauthorized. Despite the decades-long interest in everything Temple, never before has there been a lavishly illustrated art book examining the phenomenon that was Shirley Temple as a child star in the 1930s. Many of the rare and unusual Shirley Temple collectibles have never been featured in print. Along with an informal, concise history of the childhood career of Ms. Temple (featuring film stills, many never-before-seen photographs, and personal snapshots of Shirley as well as several taken by her), this book is a visual treat befitting the magic of the most famous child star of all time, as well as the Golden Age of Hollywood.

Book Alexandra Petri s US History  Important American Documents  I Made Up

Download or read book Alexandra Petri s US History Important American Documents I Made Up written by Alexandra Petri and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2023-04-11 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Satire at the highest level.… [A] godsend of a book.” —Amy Fusselman, Washington Post A witty, absurdist satire of the last 500 years, Alexandra Petri’s US History is the fake textbook you never knew you needed! As a columnist for the Washington Post, Alexandra Petri has watched in real time as those who didn’t learn from history have been forced to repeat it. And repeat it. And repeat it. If we repeat history one more time, we’re going to fail! Maybe it’s time for a new textbook. Alexandra Petri’s US History contains a lost (invented!) history of America. (A history for people disappointed that the only president whose weird sex letters we have is Warren G. Harding.) Petri’s "historical fan fiction" draws on real events and completely absurd fabrications to create a laugh-out-loud, irreverent takedown of our nation’s complicated past. On Petri’s deranged timeline, John and Abigail Adams try sexting, the March sisters from Little Women are sixty feet tall, and Susan Sontag goes to summer camp. Nearly eighty short, hilarious pieces span centuries of American history and culture. Ayn Rand rewrites The Little Engine That Could. Nikola Tesla’s friends stage an intervention when he falls in love with a pigeon. The characters from Sesame Street invade Normandy. And Mark Twain—who famously said reports of his death had been greatly exaggerated—offers a detailed account of his undeath, in which he becomes a zombie. This side-splitting work of historical humor shows why Alexandra Petri has been hailed as a "genius,"* a "national treasure,"† and "one of the funniest writers alive"‡. *Olivia Nuzzi, Katha Pollitt †Julia Ioffe, Katy Tur, John Scalzi, Chuck Wendig, Jamil Smith, and Susan Hennessey ‡Randall Munroe

Book Music of the Great Depression

  • Author : William H. Young
  • Publisher : Bloomsbury Publishing USA
  • Release : 2005-02-28
  • ISBN : 0313027358
  • Pages : 321 pages

Download or read book Music of the Great Depression written by William H. Young and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2005-02-28 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prior to the stock market crash of 1929 American music still possessed a distinct tendency towards elitism, as songwriters and composers sought to avoid the mass appeal that critics scorned. During the Depression, however, radio came to dominate the other musical media of the time, and a new era of truly popular music was born. Under the guidance of the great Duke Ellington and a number of other talented and charismatic performers, swing music unified the public consciousness like no other musical form before or since. At the same time the enduring legacies of Woody Guthrie in folk, Aaron Copeland in classical, and George and Ira Gershwin on Broadway stand as a testament to the great diversity of tastes and interests that subsisted throughout the Great Depression, and play a part still in our lives today. The lives of these and many other great musicians come alive in this insightful study of the works, artists, and circumstances that contributed to making and performing the music that helped America through one of its most difficult times. The American History through Music series examines the many different styles of music that have played a significant part in our nation's history. While volumes in this series show the multifaceted roles of music in our culture, they also use music as a lens through which readers may study American social history. The authors present in-depth analysis of American musical genres, significant musicians, technological innovations, and the many connections between music and the realms of art, politics, and daily life.
