Robert Delaunay: Hommage a Bleriot

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Originally associated with Orphic Cubism, a style of his own invention which focused more on movement, light and rhythm than on the particular objects depicted on canvas, the influential French painter Robert Delaunay (1885-1941) abandoned representation in 1911 when he joined Wassily Kandinsky`s Munich-based Blaue Reiter (Blue Rider) group, joining forces with such artists as Franz Marc, Albert Bloch and Paul Klee. The lyricism of Delaunay`s color increased from 1912 to 1914, keeping pace with the accelerated perceptual and technical developments of the time. As a leading light of the pre-1920s Paris avant-garde, Delaunay created a new artistic language to express these ideas. Beginning with the groundbreaking, large-format work Hommage a Bleriot` (1914), which honored the pioneering French aviator Louis Bleriot, this catalogue presents an in-depth investigation of Delaunay`s life and work during this era and includes ample documentation of his collaboration with his wife, Sonia… [detailed...]

Robert Doisneau

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: `For over six decades, Robert Doisneau cast his net in still waters, light years away from the predatory news photographers of today, `feeling his way`, in his own words, `prompted by feelings of attraction and repulsion, tossed hither and thither by events, and allowing intuition its head - even when it kicked over the traces…` Doisneau delighted in gleaning the instant. Clear of gaze, a man with a winning smile, he liked to say `I never noticed time passing, I was too taken up with the spectacle afforded by my contemporaries, that gratuitous, never-ending show for which no ticket is needed, and when the occasion arose, I offered them, in passing, the ephemeral solace of an image`. Throughout the years Doisneau captured, day after day, `the ordinary gestures of ordinary people in ordinary situations`. Joys he felt and discoveries he made as he walked the city make up the subject-matter of his photographs: `There are days when simply seeing feels like happiness itself …… [detailed...]

Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionEphemera captures our curiosity. Through it we get a glimpse into the personalities, personal moments and ponderings, and sentiments of beloved public figures. Presented here are many such glimpses, along with several longer looks, into the life of legendary photographer, Robert Frank. New York to Nova Scotia was originally published in 1986 to accompany a retrospective exhibition organized by the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and has long been out of print.

Robert Frank: du: Part Two

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionForty years after it first published an issue on legendary photographer Robert Frank, the Swiss magazine du is publishing Part Two. For years, the editors of du have talked about collaborating once again with the most important living Swiss photographer (Frank was born in Zurich in 1924). Though the photographer has long since finished with photo journalism, dedicating himself, since 1962, to filmmaking, he has made here a magical exception. Together with du , Frank has developed an idea for an issue that stretches the concept of photography to its limits. An all-encompassing self-examination, sometimes looking back with melancholia, sometimes moving ahead with a visionary impetus, this publication assembles classic images, new Polaroid works, traces of thoughts, rediscoveries of never-before-shown photographs, and visual diary notes, together with Frank`s selections of favorite texts by Kerouac, Burroughs, and Elio Vittorini.

The Star of Hope, his year-round home and studio on the island of Vinalhaven, is a former late 19th-century Odd Fellows lodge listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Robert Indiana and the Star of Hope is both a retrospective of the artist’s work based on his own holdings, and an unprecedented study of his living and working space. His studio is a home, museum, archive, and gallery, all set within the historic interiors of the former Odd Fellows lodge. This book offers a unique examination of how Indiana’s work has unfolded since his move to Vinalhaven and includes works from his student days to storied sculptures such as EAT, prematurely removed from the 1964 New York World’s Fair and not exhibited since.

Description: The complete reprint of all color plates from Robert John Thornton`s monumental work `The Temple of Flora`, first published in London in 1799. Presented as 33 loose-leaf Elephant folio-sized color prints as well as a booklet including an introduction and explanations of the botanical plates. The year 1799 witnessed the first installment of a work that has gone down in history as one of the most remarkable books of botanical plates ever published. Two centuries have passed since the publication of `Robert John Thornton`s The Temple of Flora`, but its charm remains unsullied. Although trained as a medical doctor, Thornton passionately devoted himself to botany. Only a few decades earlier, Carl Linnaeus had established his revolutionary new system of classification, which today continues to form the backbone of such natural sciences as botany and zoology. Thornton greatly honored the ingenious Swedish scientist and wished his own prodigious undertaking to serve as an ultimate… [detailed...]

Robert Johnson, Mythmaking, and Contemporary American Culture (Music in American Life)

Description: Book DescriptionSuddenly Robert Johnson is everywhere. Though the Mississippi bluesman died young and recorded only twenty-nine songs, the legacy, legend, and lore surrounding him continue to grow. Focusing on these developments, Patricia R. Schroeder`s Robert Johnson, Mythmaking, and Contemporary American Culture breaks new ground in Johnson scholarship, going beyond simple or speculative biography to explore him in his larger role as a contemporary cultural icon. Part literary analysis, part cultural criticism, and part biographical study, Robert Johnson, Mythmaking, and Contemporary American Culture shows the Robert Johnson of today to be less a two-dimensional character fixed by the few known facts of his life than a dynamic and contested set of ideas. Represented in novels, in plays, and even on a postage stamp, he provides inspiration for `highbrow` cultural artifacts--such as poems--as well as Hollywood movies and T-shirts.

Robert K. Greenleaf: A Life of Servant Leadership

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Since 1970, Robert Greenleaf`s (1904-1990) writings on servant leadership have powerfully influenced every imaginable field of endeavor, from management training and education to corporate ethics and religious missions. Scores of books and articles expanding on or using his concept of applying humanist values to life and work have appeared since then, but less has been written about the man himself. Authorized by Greenleaf`s surviving children, this biography covers his early years in Indiana, where he was born, and the great inspiration his father provided as the prototype `servant leader.` The book details the sources of his thought, describes his experiences as a businessman and a Quaker, highlights his friendships with dozens of luminaries - including Eleanor Roosevelt, Aldous Huxley, and the Menninger brothers - and shows how he changed business history long before his first book was published at age 73.

Roslyn Jolly
Robert Louis Stevenson in the Pacific

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Robert Louis Stevenson`s departure from Europe in 1887 coincided with a vocational crisis prompted by his father`s death. Impatient with his established identity as a writer, Stevenson was eager to explore different ways of writing, at the same time that living in the Pacific stimulated a range of latent intellectual and political interests. Roslyn Jolly examines the crucial period from 1887 to 1894, focusing on the self-transformation wrought in Stevenson`s Pacific travel-writing and political texts. Jolly shows how Stevenson`s desire to understand unfamiliar Polynesian and Micronesian cultures, and to record and intervene in the politics of Samoa, gave him opportunities to use his legal education, pursue his interest in historiography, and experiment with anthropology and journalism. Thus as his geographical and cultural horizons expanded, Stevenson`s professional sphere enlarged as well, stretching the category of authorship in which his successes as a novelist had placed… [detailed...]
