Book Description This engrossing book presents the first collection in more than three decades of one of America’s finest drama critics Richard Gilman chronicles a major period in American theater history, one that witnessed the birth or spread of Off-Broadway, regional theater, nonprofit companies, and avant-garde performance, as well обьэк as growing interest in plays by women and minorities and in world drama His writing, however, is more than a revealing look at an era It is criticism for the ages Insightful, provocative, and impassioned, the articles represent the full range of Gilman’s interests There are essays, profiles, and book reviews dealing with such topics as the “new naturalism” in theater, Brecht’s collected plays, and the legacy of Stanislavski There is also a generous sampling of Gilman’s comments on plays by O’Neill, Miller, Chekhov, Albee, Ibsen, Anouilh, Beckett, Ionesco, Pinter, Fugard, and many others.  Pass   57.1   Bett   Bett2005 г 384 стр ISBN 0300100469.

Book DescriptionFor more than 15 years Jonathan Kalb has been a singularly perceptive commentator on American and European theate These essays and reviews, by the 1991 winner of the George Nathan Award for Dramatic Criticism, set a new standard for theater writing today This collection begins with a brave and piercing appraisal of the state of обьэп current theater criticism, in a section Kalb characteristically calls "Critical Mess " He goes on to revisit the work of Samuel Beckett, as performed in well-meaning efforts to bring it to a new, wider (TV) audience; to consider todays political theater, particularly in the flourishing form of one-person shows; to explore the theatrical landscape of a reunited Germany, where the Berliner Ensemble is no longer a showcase for the East, and finally to cover whats going on back home in New York--everything from "The Lion King" and "Dame Edna" to plays of David Mamet and Arthur Miller (new and old) and to the latest trends in the Broadway musical.  отде   Шуре   Your   Skag2003 г 274 стр ISBN 087910984X.

Book DescriptionAll Theater Is Revolutionary Theater is the first book to consider why, in the Western tradition (and only in the Western tradition), theatrical drama is regarded as its own literary or poetic type, when the criteria needed to differentiate drama from other forms of writing do not resemble the criteria by which types of prose or обьэу verse are ordinarily distinguished Through close readings of such playwrights as Beckett, Brecht, Büchner, Eliot, Shaw, Wedekind, and Robert Wilson, Benjamin Bennett looks at the relationship between literature and drama, identifying typical problems in the development of dramatic literature and exploring how the uncomfortable association with theatrical performance affects the operation of drama in literaryhistory Bennetts historical investigations into theoretical works ranging from Aristotle to Artaud, Brecht, and Diderot suggest that the attempt to include drama in the system of Western literature causes certain specific incongruities that, in his view, have the salutary effect of preserving the otherwise endangered possibility of a truly liberal, progressive, or revolutionary literature.  Вятк   Unit   Семе   слов2005 г 241 стр ISBN 0801443091.

Book DescriptionFor centuries, foreign visitors have been drawn to Italy: the Roman ruins of the capital, the hill towns of Tuscany and Umbria, the scenic villages of Lake Como, the canals and palazzi of Venice The overwhelming charm of Italys enchanting combination of history, art, landscape still bewitches travelers And today, as Las Vegas обьют reinvents itself yet again as an urban theme park dedicated to the pursuit of adult fun and pleasure, the inspiration for some of its most elegant casino resorts comes directly from the great cultural monuments of the Italian past In Dreaming of Italy: Las Vegas and the Virtual Grand Tour, Giovanna Franci compares three Las Vegas Italian-themed resorts - Caesars Palace, Bellagio, and The Venetian- to their Italian counterparts: the ancient Forum of the Caesars, the breathtaking Lake Como resort town of Bellagio, and eternal Venice, jewel of the Adriatic Franci not only examines architectural format and decorative details but considers how the mystique of these Italian sites has been transplanted to the Nevada desert In the process, she addresses the compelling phenomena of modern mass tourism and postmodern travelers to whom the distinction between the "real" and the "fake" is often far less important than the appeal of a destination that allows a visitor to make a "virtual Grand Tour" within the confines of a single city Francis perceptive commentary offers unique insight into the trends and intentions behind recent development inLas Vegas She shows how the builders of these three casinos use architectural language to unite the themes and functions of American consumer culture with the romantic mythology of some of the worlds most fantastic oases of pleasure In this context, Las Vegas emerges as far more than a popular tourist icon It is rather the first urban spectacle of the postmodern world, a chameleon-like city continuously reinventing itself to offer visitors an unflagging array of experiences, sensations, and hedonistic delights Federico Zignanis dazzling photographs bring to life the physical details and idyllic ambiance of both the lavish Las Vegas resorts and their Italian inspirations.  Iron   Lowl   Morn   Robe2005 г 157 стр ISBN 0874176107.

In the last decade of his life, while living as a hermit-monk in dialogue with the world, Thomas Merton created a body of visual art that has remained largely unknown and little studied in the nearly forty years since his death With this book, Merton's art at last moves out of the shadows to be appreciated for what it is: a revealing expression of his state огзяю of mind and heart in the 1960s, and a visual correlative to his mature works of spiritual writing such as New Seeds of Contemplation and Conjectures of a Guilty Bystander Roger Lipsey provides a fascinating analysis of the simple and striking images and their significance in Merton's journey He find in them resonances with Asian calligraphy and American abstract expressionism, and relates them to the influence of Merton's wide circle of friends, which included such diverse figures as the Catholic philosopher Jacques Maritain, the poet Czeslaw Milosz, the Zen scholar D T Suzuki, and the artist Ad Reinhardt—among many others But the centerpiece of the book is the art itself, presented in a portfolio of thirty-four representative pieces that reflect the changing themes and methods of Merton's work Each is accompanied by selections from his writings from the 1960s that reflect the inward and outward territories Merton was exploring in the period when these remarkable images were created.  RHZN   Opti   DrBr   Lomo2006 г Твердый переплет, 128 стр ISBN 159030313X.

In February 1991, the artist David Wojnarowicz (1954-1992) and the philosopher SylvA?re Lotringer met in a borrowed East Village apartment to conduct a long-awaited dialogue on Wojnarowicz's work Wojnarowicz was then at the peak of his notoriety as the fiercest antagonist of morals crusader Senator Jesse Helms--a notoriety that Wojnarowicz огибф alternately embraced and rejected Already suffering the last stages of AIDS, David saw his dialogue with Lotringer as a chance to set the record straight on his aspirations, his personal history, and his political views The two arranged to have this three-hour dialogue video-recorded by a mutual friend, the artist Marion Scemama Lotringer held on to the tape for a long time After Wojnarowicz's death the following year, he found the transcript enormously moving, yet somehow incomplete David was trying, often with heartbreaking eloquence, to define not just his career but its position in time The subject was huge, and transcended the actual dialogue Lotringer then spent the next several years gathering additional commentary on Wojnarowicz's life and work from those who knew him best--the friends with whom he collaborated Lotringer solicited personal testimony from Wojnarowicz's friends and other artists, including Mike Bildo, Steve Brown, Julia Scher, Richard Kern, Carlo McCormick, Ben Neill, Kiki Smith, Nan Goldin, Marguerite van Cook, and others What emerges from these masterfully-conducted interviews is a surprising insight into something art history knows, but systematically hides: the collaborative nature of the work of any "great artist " All these respondents had, at one time, made performances, movies, sculptures, photographs, and other collaborative works with Wojnarowicz In this sense, Wojnarowicz appears not only as a great originator, but as a great synthesizer.  Герш   Acad   Иллю   Соде2006 г Твердый переплет, 220 стр ISBN 1584350350.

Trained at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia and arguably the stylistic leader of the Pennsylvania Impressionist school of painting, Edward W Redfield (1869-1965) was fascinated by the forces that colored an individual's reaction to nature His paintings reflected an engagement with the American experience, in an unsentimental огивф impressionist style A painter of great immediacy, Redfield understood that art was an expressive activity rooted in sensibility and feeling, and advised other artists, "See it, seize it, remember it--then get out and paint it " The phenomenal popularity of Redfield from 1900 to 1920 cannot be fully understood without considering how his life and work were viewed as the embodiment of a national spirit of the progress of America Redfield's paintings embodied the rawness and energy of America during a period of transformation from a predominantly agrarian to an industrialized capitalist nation Not only did these bold, vibrant pictures provide welcome images of the natural world, they exuded a spirit of personal authenticity, and stability for an audience in search of these qualities With extraordinary access to the rich collection of the Redfield family archives, Constance Kimmerle is able to broaden the understanding of the artist and his work Through the use of primary sources including Redfield's personal letters and his journal, Kimmerle creates a unique and intimate portrait of one of America's greatest impressionist painters.  Malc   Звон   Соло   авто2004 г Мягкая обложка, 144 стр ISBN 0812238435.

Robert Hughes, who has stunned us with comprehensive works on subjects as sweeping and complex as the history of Australia (The Fatal Shore), the modern art movement (The Shock of the New), the nature of American art (American Visions), and the nature of America itself as seen through its art (The Culture of Complaint), now turns his renowned critical огзяр eye to one of art history’s most compelling, enigmatic, and important figures, Francisco JosA© de Goya y Lucientes With characteristic critical fervor and sure-eyed insight, Hughes brings us the story of an artist whose life and work bridged the transition from the eighteenth-century reign of the old masters to the early days of the nineteenth-century moderns With his salient passion for the artist and the art, Hughes brings Goya vividly to life through dazzling analysis of a vast breadth of his work Building upon the historical evidence that exists, Hughes tracks Goya’s development, as man and artist, without missing a beat, from the early works commissioned by the Church, through his long, productive, and tempestuous career at court, to the darkly sinister and cryptic work he did at the end of his life In a work that is at once interpretive biography and cultural epic, Hughes grounds Goya firmly in the context of his time, taking us on a wild romp through Spanish history; from the brutality and easy violence of street life to the fiery terrors of the Holy Inquisition to the grave realities of war, Hughes shows us in vibrant detail the cultural forces that shaped Goya’s work Underlying the exhaustive, critical analysis and the rich historical background is Hughes’s own intimately personal relationship to his subject This is a book informed not only by lifelong love and study, but by his own recent experiences of mortality and death As such this is a uniquely moving and human book; with the same relentless and fearless intelligence he has brought to every subject he has ever tackled, Hughes here transcends biography to bring us a rich and fiercely brave book about art and life, love and rage, impotence and death This is one genius writing at full capacity about another—and the result is truly spectacular From the Hardcover edition.  Tato   Kary   спас   Заре2006 г Мягкая обложка, 448 стр ISBN 0375711287.

For more than 20 years, the fashion powerhouses Grace Coddington and Didier Malige have lived together with a menagerie of incorrigible cats This delightful, giftworthy book records their relationship through photographs (Malige's) and drawings (Coddington's) that document the couple's highly entertaining private and work lives through огиач the eyes of their feline friends These include Henri, an old-school, catnip-addicted, surfing chartreuse; his sister Coco, a couture-obsessed chartreuse on a sashimi diet; and her pal Baby, who doesn't quite share Coco's discipline, and will, sadly, never fit into a sample size Then there's Puff, a mixed-up long-hair from Harlem whose curiosity--anyone for fortune-telling at Dave?--hasn't killed him yet; and finally Bart, the Persian youngster who would rather sit on the rooftop terrace than in the front row The Catwalk Cats, a visual diary introduced by the irrepressible Puff, gives us a window into four madcap seasons in the life of this fabulous furry brigade, with sections devoted to the Collections, the Campaigns, and, of course, the Catfights At once delightful and dishy, it is both a convincing argument for the fundamental similarities between felines and fashionistas and a moving meditation on love and life as a family.  Geni   OPEL   Blau   PENN2006 г Твердый переплет, 192 стр ISBN 3865213448.

For the past two decades Louise Lawler has been taking photographs of art in situ, from small poignant black-and-white images of art in people's homes to large format glossy color pictures of art in museums and in auction houses In addition she has produced a variety of objects--paperweights, etched drinking glasses, matchbooks, gallery announcements--all огивт of which cleverly describe how art comes to accrue value as it moves through various systems of exchange Lawler's oeuvre was essential in creating an expanded field for photography, it was crucial in postmodern debates over theories of representation, it remains indelible within the field of institutional critique, and it has always been trenchant and witty in its sustained commitment to a feminist vision of art, art history, and contemporary art practice But Lawler is also an old-fashioned "artist's artist," long overdue for the kind of serious reconsideration and recognition that this volume affords The very self-effacing nature of Lawler's practice, however, her continual suspicion about notions of authorship--and her sly disregard for museological conventions--have meant that she has resisted precisely the usual mid-career retrospective Twice Untitled and Other Pictures, published in conjunction with Lawler's first major museum exhibition in the United States, organized by the Wexner Center for the Arts, eats away at the standard museum practices of chronology, linear development, and the presentation of masterpieces, opting instead to explore such dynamic themes and undercurrents in Lawler's practice as her relationship to sculpture, her long history of collaborative projects, her production of such ephemera as napkins, matchbooks, and announcement cards, and the steady political dimension of her work--which culminated most recently in works that are deeply critical of the American invasion of Iraq With essays by art historian and political theorist Rosalyn Deutsche and curators Ann Goldstein and Helen Molesworth, Twice Untitled and Other Pictures promises to be an essential volume for anyone interested in late twentieth- and early twenty-first- century art.  With   Silv   Silv   Silv2006 г Мягкая обложка, 192 стр ISBN 0262622068.

Amy CutlerA­s exquisitely detailed scenes of women, animals and hybrid beings engaged in otherworldly drama lure the viewer into an enigmatic realm populated by figures with elongated noses, tea-kettle heads or broomstick arms, some wearing altered hoop skirts She takes inspiration from stories and images encountered in the media, and then огигй mixes them up with Persian miniatures, army survival guides, nineteenth century illustrations, folktales and personal experiences Her works, which include gouache on paper, paint on wood panel, and drawing, have been described as A¬snippets of Laura Ingalls Wilder, Hieronymus Bosch and Masterpiece Theatre A® Her scenarios are often funny and just as often uneasy--for instance, despite or because of the loving care they give, one group of her women subjects watch as their snowmen-companions melt away This is the first book on the work of this young Brooklyn-based artist.  tuchkas   Thin   реда   2006 г Твердый переплет, 111 стр ISBN 377571734X.
