Marathon Woman: Running the Race to Revolutionize Women`s Sports

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In 1967, Kathrine Switzer was the first woman to officially run what was then the all male Boston Marathon, infuriating one of the event’s directors who attempted to violently eject her. In what would become an iconic sports image, Switzer escaped and finished the race. This was a watershed moment for the sport, as well as a significant event in women’s history.Including updates from the 2008 Summer Olympics, the paperback edition of Marathon Woman details the life of an incredible, pioneering athlete, and the lasting effect she’s had on women’s sports. Switzer’s energy and drive permeate the pages of this warm, witty memoir as she describes everything from the childhood events that inspired her to succeed to her big win in the 1974 New York City Marathon, and beyond.

Louis S. Rehr, Carleton R. Rehr
Marauder: Memoir of a B-26 Pilot in Europe in World War II

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Under the leadership of a dedicated pilot, the B-26 Marauder was a formidable weapon in the campaign to defeat Hitler`s armies, and, in the words of his first copilot, Lou was the best there was. He created a spirit among the crew that made us really want to fly the mission and be disappointed if we had to abort. This memoir begins with Captain Rehr`s arrival in pre-invasion England in May 1944 and ends with the completion of Major Rehr`s aircraft disarmament duties in postwar Germany in July 1945. Rehr, a squadron commander with the 323rd Bombardment Group, earned 12 air medals, five battle stars, two Distinguished Flying Crosses, and the Croix de Guerre with Silver Star. He describes his experiences, including five night-bombing missions he volunteered to fly in 1944 and accounts of attacks by Me-262 jets in late April of 1945. The narrative also recollects two summers in 1936 and 1938, when, as a teenager touring Germany, he observed the influence of Nazism. This memoir is the… [detailed...]

Marc Chagall (Prestel Art Guides)

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Amazon.comThe painter Marc Chagall (1887-1985) is perhaps best known for the surreal compositions and expressionistic colors he used to convey his memories of the Russian Jewish village atmosphere of his childhood. His imaginative visual vocabulary of circus performers, musicians, lovers, animals, flowers, and the ethereal atmospheric settings in which he places them evoke the mood of fairy tales. Chagall`s playful use of scale and juxtaposition, combined with the poetic and enchanting narratives he suggests, conjoin to convey a fantastical and singularly unique point of view. This pocket-sized collection of 18 detachable color postcards includes a wide range of themes in Chagall`s oeuvre. It`s a small treat for fans of his work. --A.C.

Marc Chagall: The Lost Jewish World

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: `If I were not a Jew . . . I wouldn`t have been an artist, or I would be a different artist altogether.` -Marc Chagall, Leaves from My Notebook. Marc Chagall is one of the most popular artists of the 20th century, famous for his poetic, surreal images that represent a topsy-turvy world, combining fantasy and spirituality with a modernist style. This volume serves as a guide to the iconography of Chagall`s best-loved work—in which he frequently included Jewish symbolism and folklore, sometimes overtly, sometimes in hidden, quite meaningful ways—offering insight into Chagall`s Jewish roots and succinct interpretations of his major paintings, from his early masterpieces made in Russia and in Paris to his Yiddish art theater paintings. Harshav illuminates Chagall`s most famous paintings of the Jewish shtetl, or provincial Russian town, and highlights the recognizable trademarks of his art, such as the `fiddler on the roof.` It also interprets in detail Chagall`s theater… [detailed...]

Marc Joseph: New And Used

2007 y.
Publisher: Steidl
Description: Growing up in Ohio in the 1970s, photographer Marc Joseph was first exposed to art, writing and music in the eccentric smaller book and record shops of downtown Cleveland. Most Saturday afternoons were spent combing through the stacks in anticipation of a major future purchase--like his first, London Calling by the Clash--or studying certain talismanic book covers like George Orwell`s Animal Farm or Allen Ginsberg`s Howl . This was the beginning of Joseph`s permanent fascination with books and records--both as public artworks and as formative private experiences.~ New and Used is a collection of richly detailed color photographs of hardcovers, paperbacks, LPs, CDs and cassettes, either shelved, piled, boxed and stacked in their increasingly endangered natural environments--independent book and record shops--or individually silhouetted like artifacts pinned into shadow boxes. Together with editor Damon Krukowski, the artist has assembled a collection of short… [detailed...]

Marcel Duchamp: Etant donnes (Philadelphia Museum of Art)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In his early thirties, Marcel Duchamp (1887–1968) convinced everyone that he had abandoned making art in favor of playing chess. But from 1946 to 1966, he was secretly at work in his studio on West 14th Street in New York City. There he produced his final masterpiece: Etant donnes: 1? la chute d`eau, 2? le gaz d’eclairage, composed of a battered wood door through which one views a prone, nude female, holding aloft an antique gas lamp against a landscape of trees, waterfall, and sky. Unveiled as a permanent installation at the Philadelphia Museum of Art in July 1969, the year after Duchamp’s death, it startled the art world with its explicit eroticism and voyeurism, as well as its trompe l’oeil realism. Since its public debut, Etant donnes has been recognized as one of the most important and enigmatic works of the 20th century. Published to commemorate the fortieth anniversary of the original installation of Etant donnes and to accompany the first major exhibition on the artwork and… [detailed...]

Marcel Duchamp: The Art of Chess

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Marcel Duchamp was both an artist and a chess player, but until now, little was known of his chess activities. In analyzing Duchamp`s games--seeing how he reacted in specific situations during play--we can better understand how his mind worked, and gain insight into the strategies that motivated his work as an artist. Duchamp saw a correlation between art and chess, and actively sought opportunities to combine the two seemingly unrelated disciplines. Not only did he love the game, but he was aware of the reputation of chess as an intensely cerebral pursuit, and to the end of his life, he remained committed to challenging the French adage `d`etre bete comme un peintre` (`to be stupid like a painter`), raising his art to equivalently complex, intellectual heights. Naumann shows us just how deeply intertwined the two activities were for Duchamp. [detailed...]

Marcel Duchamp: Works, Writings, Interviews

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: By his own testimony, Marcel Duchamp considered painting a `means of expression, not an end in itself. One means of expression among others, and not a complete end for life at all.` His legendary `Large Glass,` for example, can be seen as simply the culmination or sum of numerous experiments conducted over an eight-year period. For this reason, every aspect of his oeuvre--painting, installation, writing, interviews--is of potentially equivalent interest, and any Duchamp primer needs to present his more ephemeral contributions, in aphorisms, diagrams and conversation, alongside his visual experiments. Works, Writings, Interviews does this job splendidly, exploring the artist`s many-faceted activities, analyzing his work as an entirety and gathering his key interviews and writings. [detailed...]

Description: The Dutch artist Marcel van Eeden has done a drawing a day for more than a decade, since 1993. Each one interprets photographs or text from before he was born in 1965, source material he gathers through a network of vintage book dealers, archives and libraries. His thousands of small-format works show people and places at once anachronistic and ready to spring to life at any moment, they make the time before his birth seem present in front of the viewer`s eyes, as though through the looking glass into a period film. Van Eeden calls his life`s work an `encyclopedia` of his death--he imagines a time before he existed in order to imagine a time after he is gone. This collection of approximately 140 of his virtuosic drawings describes a fictitious biography for K. M. Wiegand, who, history verifies, was actually a botanist. [detailed...]

It is the supreme challenge of our capacity to accept, where tension and contradictions, agreements and differences are resolved in a double gaze, in a common quest, begins writer Sandra Lorenzano in her introduction to Correspondence, which presents a volley of images e-mailed between Buenos Aires-based Marcelo Brodsky and Mexico City-based Pablo Ortiz Monasterio. Throughout the project, each photographer responded to the other`s last image, poetically, playfully and intuitively combining the chance of a ready-made with the complexity of photographic memory. This volume`s bold design reflects the artists` process: the spreads include one image by each artist, with the last image from the previous spread repeated on the first page of the next spread. Seeing each image twice creates an uncanny and suggestive vibe, replicating the instantaneous method in which the photographers worked and causing the… [detailed...]

Now, in a book written specifically for an American audience, he tells the astonishing story of the rampant hooliganism among European soccer fans and how it could spread to the U.S. Written in the raw, in-your-face style that has won considerable acclaim in Europe-The Daily Mail (London) said Brimson had written `probably the best book ever on soccer violence`-March of the Hooligans is a powerfully intimate look at what hooliganism has become and where it is headed.
