Sam Hunter, Francis Bacon
Francis Bacon

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Irish-born English painter Francis Bacon (1909-1992) created work that remains unmatched in raw force and vitality, and he is widely considered one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century. Critic Ronald Jones has described his themes as the howling subjects with which Bacon struggled--Existentialism, Abstract Expressionism and the primal drama of a world newly acquainted with the Bomb.` Bacon was preoccupied with probing the isolation and terror of the human condition, which he chiefly conveyed through a labored distortion of the human body. As Sam Hunter--who penned one of the first major essays on Bacon in 1950--writes in his introductory essay to this volume, `what has become increasingly clear with the test of time…is the clarity, durability and powerful authority of his visual discourse.` This concise monograph presents an in-depth survey of Bacon`s entire oeuvre.British artist Francis Bacon is one of the greatest painters of the twentieth century. His canvases of the… [detailed...]

Margarita Cappock
Francis Bacon`s Studio

2005 y.
Publisher: Merrell
Description: Francis Bacon is widely regarded as one of the most significant post-war painters. From 1961, his studio at 7 Reece Mews, South Kensington, London, was both his home and his workplace, and, over time, the repository of thousands of items that were central to his art, the impetus for many of his most important paintings. The studio - with its extraordinarily rich contents untouched since Bacon`s death - was donated in 1998 by John Edwards to Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane, where, after meticulous dismantling and reconstruction by archaeologists, conservators and curators, it is now on permanent display. The studio`s deconstruction revealed some 7500 objects, among them numerous well-thumbed, folded and torn photographs, many depicting Bacon`s friends and lovers, illustrated publications, including books and magazine articles on subjects as diverse as medicine, sport, wildlife and war, drawings, interventions and handwritten notes by Bacon, slashed canvases and his final,… [detailed...]

Matt Ridley
Francis Crick: Discoverer of the Genetic Code

2006 y.
Publisher: Eminent Lives
Description: Francis Crick, who died at the age of eighty-eight in 2004, will be bracketed with Galileo, Darwin, and Einstein as one of the great scientists of all time. Between 1953 and 1966 he made and led a revolution in biology by discovering, quite literally, the secret of life: the digital cipher at the heart of heredity that distinguishes living from non-living things--the genetic code. His own discoveries--though he always worked with one other partner and did much of his thinking in conversation--include not only the double helix but the whole mechanism of protein synthesis, the three-letter nature of the code, and much of the code itself. Matt Ridley`s biography traces Crick`s life from middle-class mediocrity in the English Midlands, through a lackluster education and six years designing magnetic mines for the Royal Navy, to his leap into biology at the age of thirty-one. While at Cambridge, he suddenly began to display the unique visual imagination and intense tenacity of… [detailed...]

Francis Ford Coppola`s Zoetrope: All-Story 2

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Amazon.comIn his introduction to Zoetrope: All-Story , Francis Ford Coppola explains exactly what possessed him to start a literary magazine. Emphasizing what should be an obvious point--a good movie requires a good story--the acclaimed director laments the lowbrow sensibility of motion-picture studios, pointing out that `none of them that I know of devote serious resources to the cultivation of literary work.` Hollywood has a hallowed tradition of slapping together screenplays based on flimsy pitches (`It`s like Babe meets Angela`s Ashes `). In contrast, Coppola has his own humble request for `good writing, good characters, and intriguing stories that spellbind us, but also teach us about life.` The collection opens with Sara Powers`s captivating story about commitment and doubt, in which a sporting couple agrees to experiment with selective lying (at the rate of three falsehoods per conversation). Amy Bloom`s `The Gates Are Closing` is a vivid, funny,… [detailed...]

Among other signature techniques, he is known for adding white marble granules to the concrete mix, creating a glistening white finish which is then chiseled to expose the… [detailed...]

Frank Films: The Film and Video Work of Robert Frank

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionAt the end of the 1950s, photographer Robert Frank decided that he was done with photography and became a filmmaker. Not until the 1970s would he begin to take the occasional still again. To date, Frank has created more than 25 films and videos, some of them classics of the New American Cinema of the 1950s and 1960s. In his films, Frank amalgamated documentary, fiction, and autobiography, cutting across genres, defying each and every law of Hollywood in his relentless search for truth. Ina time where the crass commercialism of mainstream film`s visual grammar seems to reign supreme, Frank`s film and video work appears to be his most radical and visionary legacy.~ Frank films fills a long overdue gap by providing a comprehensive overview of Frank`s films. The book`s main essay discusses the history and the aesthetics of Frank`s film work, while shorter texts by various authors examine every film and video by Frank in detail.

Frank Lloyd Wright Prairie Houses

2006 y.
Publisher: Rizzoli
Description: With the advent of Prairie style architecture, Frank Lloyd Wright embarked on a journey that would forever change the course of architecture. During this extraordinarily prolific period, roughly the first quarter of the twentieth century, Wright built the first great modern American houses. He cast aside many of the conventions of the past, opening up interior spaces so that there might be a more subtle flow of rooms. The plans for Prairie style architecture were based on a tartan plaid of main spaces and secondary spaces, of public rooms and circulation spaces. Their decentralized asymmetry did not follow the Beaux Arts insistence on a primary, often dominating, focal point - a vestige of its roots as a symbolic architecture for divine-right royalty. Following Wright`s philosophy, Prairie design was emphatically democratic and non-hierarchical. `Frank Lloyd Wright Prairie Houses` comprehensively demonstrates this philosophy. Focusing on interiors and details, the book features more… [detailed...]

Frank Lloyd Wright The Houses

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Frank Lloyd Wright is not only synonymous with architecture, his name is also synonymous with the American house in the twentieth century. In particular, his residential work has been the subject of continuing interest and controversy. Wright`s Fallingwater (1935), the seminal masterpiece perched over a waterfall deep in the Pennsylvania highlands, is perhaps the best-known private house in the history of the world. In fact, Wright`s houses-from his Prairie style Robie House (1906) in Chicago, to the Storer (1923) and Freeman (1923) houses in Los Angeles, and Taliesen West (1937) in the Arizona desert-are all touchstones of modern architecture. For the first time, all 289 extant houses are shown here in exquisite color photographs. Along with Weintraub`s stunning photos and a selection of floor plans and archival images, the book includes text and essays by several leading Wright scholars.
