Download or read book Quiet Pictures written by Sarah Artt and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2024-04-18 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quiet Pictures approaches the films of Joanna Hogg, Lynne Ramsay, Céline Sciamma, and Lucile Hadžhalilovicthrough the lens of silence as a motif and texture. This book takes up the question of different uses of silence in the work of these directors and how this creates a space for foregrounding innovative practices that establish new ways of looking, staring, and gazing. Sarah Artt discusses how the deliberate deployment of silence creates space for the formation of reciprocal gazes that counteract the typically gendered and binary ways in which women and femme-presenting people tend to be portrayed on screen. Quiet Pictures draws on the political legacy of feminist film theory to explore and conceptualise what it means to not just look back, but to share the gaze. This book discusses several films, including: Unrelated (Hogg, 2007), Archipelago (Hogg, 2010), Exhibition (Hogg, 2013), The Souvenir Part I and II (Hogg, 2019 and 2021), Morvern Callar (Ramsay, 2002), We Need to Talk About Kevin (Ramsay, 2011), Innocence (Hadžhalilovic 2004), Evolution (Hadžhalilovic 2015), Waterlilies/Naissance des Pieuvres (Sciamma, 2007), Tomboy (Sciamma, 2011), Girlhood/Bande des Filles (Sciamma, 2014), Portrait of a Lady on Fire/Portrait d'une jeune fille en feu (Sciamma, 2019), and Petite Maman/Little Mother (Sciamma, 2021).

Download or read book Bittersweet written by Susan Cain and published by Viking. This book was released on 2022-04-21 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Loss and impermanence are inescapable, part of the warp and weft of our lives. They are essential to love, to growth, and to art. And yet, too often, we do not acknowledge loss, let alone honour the experience of it. Illuminating, thoughtful, and deeply necessary, Susan Cain's new book will help us to name and value the experience of loss, pointing the way toward ways of being and rituals that help us to accept it rather than bury it. Blending memoir, reportage, and social science, it will reveal that joy and loss exist in equilibrium; that vulnerability, or even a melancholy temperament, can be a strength; and that embracing our inevitable losses makes us more human and more whole.

Book excerpt: All quiet is not created equal. In this irresistibly charming picture book, many different quiet moments are captured, from the anticipation-heavy “Top of the roller coaster quiet” to the shocked-into-silence “First look at your new hairstyle quiet.” The impossibly sweet bears, rabbits, fish, birds, and iguanas are all rendered in soft pencils and colored digitally, and, as in all of the best picture books, the illustrations propel the story far beyond the words. A sure-to-be-a-classic bedtime favorite.

Download or read book Robert Frank written by Robert Frank and published by Steidl. This book was released on 2019-04-23 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this, Robert Frank's newest book, he both acknowledges and moves beyond his acclaimed visual diaries (2010-17), which juxtapose iconic photos from throughout his career with the more personal pictures he makes today and suggestive, often autobiographical text fragments. In Good days quiet Frank's focus is life inside and outside his beloved weather-beaten wooden house in Mabou, where he has spent summers for decades with his wife June Leaf. Among portraits of Leaf, Allen Ginsberg and Frank's son are images of the house's simple interior with its wood-fueled iron stove, humble furniture and bare light bulbs, and views of the land and sea by the house: snow-covered, windswept, stormy or lit by the dying sun. Frank's Polaroid prints show various deliberate states of deterioration and manipulation at his hands, including texts that move from the merely descriptive ("watching the crows") to the emotive ("memories," "grey sea--old house / can you hear the music"). As always in Frank's books, his message lies primarily in the photos' lyrical sequence, an influential approach to the photobook pioneered by and today well at home in his 94-year-old hands. Robert Frank was born in Zurich in 1924 and immigrated to the United States in 1947. He is best known for his seminal book The Americans, first published in English in 1959, which gave rise to a distinctly new form of the photobook, and his experimental film Pull My Daisy (1959). Frank's other important projects include the books Black White and Things (1954), The Lines of My Hand (1972) and the film Cocksucker Blues for the Rolling Stones (1972). He divides his time between New York City and Nova Scotia, Canada.

Download or read book Silent Pictures written by Howard McCalebb and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2014-09-01 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The artist Yang YounHee emerged on the global art scene with a welcomed and more humanist brand of contemporary art. Hers is a vision that rehabilitates the idea that art practice can carry the weight of the noble, through an aesthetic sensibility that is inner-directed and genial. It substantiates the quiet integrity of the artist, as a much needed antidote to the unrelenting offerings of the glib, the abject, and the perverse. This vision is centered within the wisdom of her age. By embracing its knowledge and representing its moods, she has evolved an art practice that grows from both the beauty and the imperfections of the human being. Yang is a representational painter, but she is not a "realist" painter. She does not prioritize the task of illusion creation as the subject or philosophy of her practice. When you enter Yang's paintings, you find yourself stepping into an extraordinary world, and the complex of knowledge, experience, and moods that amounts to it. Yang YounHee pursues her painting to meet life's basic need for personal expression. Her art making originates from an existential need to create. - - - Die Künstlerin Yang YounHee ist in der globalen Kunstszene mit einem willkommenen humanistischen Ansatz bekannt geworden. Ihre Vision erneuert die Idee, dass künstlerische Praxis das Edle tragen kann, und zwar durch ihre nach innen gerichtete und warmherzige ästhetische Sensibilität. Dieser Ansatz untermauert die ruhige Integrität der Künstlerin und fungiert als ein dringend benötigtes Gegenmittel gegen das unerbittliche Überangebot des Oberflächlichen, des Erbärmlichen und des Perversen in der zeitgenössischen Kunst. Diese Vision Yangs ist in der Weisheit ihres Alters verankert. Sie hat eine künstlerische Praxis entwickelt, die durch die Einbeziehung des Wissens und die Darstellung der Stimmungen dieser Weisheit aus der Schönheit und der Unvollkommenheit des menschlichen Wesens erwächst. Yang ist eine gegenständliche Malerin, aber keine "realistische" Malerin. Sie hat sich nicht die Erschaffung von Illusion zur Hauptaufgabe gemacht. Wenn man in Yangs Bilderwelten eindringt, findet man sich in einer außergewöhnlichen Welt wieder und begegnet den vielschichtigen Erkenntnissen, Erfahrungen und Stimmungen, die diese Werke ausmachen. Yang YounHee strebt durch ihre Malerei danach, dem grundlegenden Bedürfnis des Lebens nach persönlichem Ausdruck gerecht zu werden. Ihre Kunst entspringt einem existenziellen Bedürfnis, etwas Neues zu schaffen.

Download or read book Keeping Quiet written by Julian Dutton and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2015-07-23 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Keeping Quiet is a love-letter to the modern sight-gag on film and television, tracing the history of physical clowning since the advent of sound. Taking up the story of visual humour where Paul Merton's Silent Comedy leaves off, Julian Dutton charts the lives and work of all the great comedians who chose to remain silent, from Charlie Chaplin - who was determined to resist the ‘talkies' - right through to the slapstick of modern-day performers such as Rowan Atkinson, Matt Lucas and Harry Hill. This fascinating chronicle - spanning nine decades - shows how physical comedy, at first overshadowed by dialogue-films in the 1930s, reinvented itself and how this revival was spearheaded by a Frenchman: Jacques Tati. Julian Dutton draws on his own experience as a comedy writer and performer to give an expert analysis of the screen persona and the comedy style of dozens of the screen’s best-loved performers including Laurel & Hardy, Buster Keaton, Harpo Marx, Norman Wisdom, Jerry Lewis, Benny Hill, Peter Sellers, Eric Sykes, Ronnie Barker, Marty Feldman - and many more. This book will appeal both to the serious student of film, television and theatre - including those aspiring to write or perform comedy - and to the general reader and comedy fan.
