William Inge and the Subversion of Gender: Rewriting Stereotypes in the Plays, Novels, and Screenplays

2005 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: Book DescriptionInspired by a meeting with Tennessee Williams, American playwright William Inge found success early, winning a Pulitzer for drama and an Academy Award for best screenplay. His small-town upbringing profoundly influenced his writing, and one of his major recurring themes was the traditional roles of gender. This close study of Inge?s work focuses particularly on his technique of `gendermandering,` patterns of gender-role reversals which Inge exploits not only for dramatic effect but also to subvert social expectations. Fully considered are stereotypes and established gender roles, especially as they were reinforced socially during the 1940s and 1950s. The author concentrates largely on material that is strictly Inge?s, notadaptations or collaborations, and on work that has been published and is readily available to the general public. All major plays, a collection of his short plays, the screenplay of Splendor in the Grass (1961), and his novel Е [detailed...]

William Ingham: Configuration of Forces

2003 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: Book DescriptionThe art of William Ingham demonstrates how the modernist tradition, specifically Abstract Expressionism, has flourished in the Pacific Northwest. This lavishly illustrated volume brings to a wider audience the Seattle-born artist?s highly gestural and vividly colored abstract paintings. Exploring gesture, form, scale, color, touch, and texture, Ingham?s paintings are exuberant statements. Tracing the artist?s evolution through detailed analyses of individual works, distinguished art critic Matthew Kangas builds the case for Ingham?s significance and, in so doing, broadens the literature on Pacific Northwest art to include nonregional influences on artists of the area, drawing Northwest art closer to other modernisttraditions and innovations in American art.

William Kentridge: Black Box/ Chambre Noire

2006 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: In the course of designing his recent production of Mozart`s The Magic Flute, artist and animated filmmaker William Kentridge created a mechanized theater maquette. When he saw the miniature stageA≠s potential as sculpture, projection site, and installation, he began to imagine Black Box, the freestanding structure whose development and installation are documented here. A movement-filled, visually charged piece, it is peopled with two-dimensional mechanical figures, completed with scenic elements and lit by flickering video. A digital projector displays animated films created from KentridgeA≠s charcoal drawings and sculptures. Kentridge considers his title term in three senses: a Aђblack boxAЃ theater, a Aђchambre noireAЃ as it relates to photography, and a Aђblack boxAЃ flight data recorder, as used in airline disasters. The clandestine fourth reference may be to his ongoing exploration of German history and its convergence with South African history through Namibia, a former GermanЕ [detailed...]

William Kentridge: Repeat-from the Beginning

2009 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: In the summer of 2008, South African artist William Kentridge debuted his production of Claudio Monteverdi`s opera, The Return of Ulysses, at Venice`s Teatro La Fenice. In addition to designing many of the opera`s sets and props, Kentridge created a new video, which was projected prior to the performance. This volume is primarily composed of stills from that video, in which Kentridge translates themes central to Monteverdi`s portrayal of Homer`s classic protagonist--human brotherhood, chance and love--into his trademark hand-drawn animation. Since the 1990s, Kentridge has maintained a multimedia practice, producing and often combining drawings, films and theater. Since 1992, he has collaborated with the Handspring Puppet Company. During the late 1970s and 1980s, he produced posters, drawings and theater pieces in opposition to South African apartheid. [detailed...]

Description: Book DescriptionWilliam Klein always dreamed of living in Paris, like Henry Miller, Gertrude Stein, and other like-minded artists and writers. In 1948, stationed by the United States Army in Paris, he stayed--and fled his family and America to become a painter. He quickly found another family and recognition for his talent. Today, one is tempted, like critic Anthony Lane, to say that he is ` the American in Paris.` PARIS + KLEIN gathers together hundreds of photographs shot by Klein from thetime he first picked up a camera in the 1960s until he put it down, momentarily, to put together this book. In his signature color and black-and-white compositions, jostled to the brim with more information than a single camera lens was ever expected to take in, we find: men in the street, celebrities, demonstrations, fashion, the police, politics, races, the metro, soccer, death. . .The whole life of a capital seen through the lively, acidic, melancholic, humorous, ironical, andЕ [detailed...]

Georges Duby
William Marshal

1987 y.
Publisher: Pantheon
Description: `I am not writing the history of events,` states Duby, a distinguished French scholar (The Age of the Cathedrals, etc.). `I want to try to see the world the way these men saw it.` He succeeds brilliantly, in this chronicle of a humble knight who rose through military prowess and royal favor to become Earl of Pembroke in the turbulent epoch of the late 12th and early 13th centuries. Duby gets inside his subject`s skin, helping us to comprehend the complex chivalric value system. He vividly recreates a world in which loyalty, valor and generosity were the principal virtues, in which the individual defined himself (women were barely considered human beings) in terms of his connections and obligationsto his lord, to his family, to his vassals. Duby is a superb writerelegant, concise and insightful and Howard`s translation does him justice. This brief account sheds great light on the shadowy medieval universe.

Description: A perennial favorite of museum visitors, the works of William Merritt Chase (1849Ц1916) embody the quintessential characteristics of American Impressionism: outdoor landscapes, a colorful palette, and an energetic brushstroke. He was also a portrait painter of the first rank, a master of still life, a renowned teacher, and a leader of artistsТ societies. This gorgeous book, the first of a four-volume definitive catalogue, features ChaseТs stunning paintings in pastel, which constitute a major and previously understudied body of work by the artist, monotypes, painted tiles and plates, watercolors, and prints. Reconstructing ChaseТs oeuvre is a daunting task, as the artist left few records of any kind, and no documentation of his individual works exists. Furthermore, ChaseТs paintings and pastels have been forged in great numbers throughout the years, and many of these works still surface on the art market. Making this long-awaitedЕ [detailed...]

William Morris and Red House: A Collaboration Between Architect and Owner

2006 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: A lavish record of an extraordinary collaboration between designer and architect?and the catalyst for the William Morris style. Red House occupies a singular place in British architectural history: it was the first and only house that was built for designer William Morris, and it was the first independent architectural commission for his friend, Philip Webb. The challenge of furnishing the house inspired Morris and his Pre-Raphaelite friends to found the design firm of Morris &, Co., which was the flagship for what was to become the Arts &, Crafts movement. Red House captured Morris` heart. He was only 25 when, in 1858, he married Jane Burden, whose beauty was the inspiration for much of Pre-Raphaelite art. With his young wife, he planned to produce a vision of `earthly paradise` at Red House, however, the idyll was found to be impractical, and Morris left after five years. Because of its illustrious first owner, Red House was never forgotten, and a succession of tenants keptЕ [detailed...]

William Powell: The Life and Films

2006 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: Actor William Powell is perhaps best known for his roles as charming Nick in The Thin Man films and blustery Clarence Day in Life with Father . As diverse as those characters are, they don`t begin to reveal the full scope of talent demonstrated by one of Hollywood`s most intelligent leading men. Elegant, witty and dignified, Powell created accessible and human characters in a great variety of roles. His talent was such that Powell has a large and growing fan base 50 years after his last film was released, evidenced by the popularity of DVD rereleases and the frequent appearance of his films on cable television. The focus of this book is Powell`s work in more than 90 films, from the silent era to the age of CinemaScope, woven into the dramatic and touching story of the actor`s life. It begins by leaping into how Powell and actress Myrna Loy were launched to stardom as husband and wife Nick and Nora Charles in The Thin Man . The next chapter sets the stage for theЕ [detailed...]

Now, in William Randolph Hearst, Ben Proctor gives us the most authoritative account of Hearst`s extraordinary career in newspapers and politics. Born to great wealth--his father was a partial owner of four fabulously rich mines--Hearst began his career in his early twenties by revitalizing a rundown newspaper, the San Franciso Examiner. Hearst took what had been a relatively sedate form of communicating information and essentially created the modern tabloid, complete with outrageous headlines, human interest stories, star columnists, comic strips, wide photo coverage, and crusading zeal. His papers fairly bristled with life. By 1910 he had built a newspaper empire--eight papers and two magazines read by nearly three million people. Hearst did much to create `yellowЕ [detailed...]

Description: Without doubt the most important of Shakespeare`s nondramatic works, the sonnets have engendered reams of scholarly disputation as to the identity of `the dark lady` and the `lovely boy` to whom the vast majority are addressed. Controversy has also long simmered over the full name of the `W.H.` of the dedication. What is not in dispute is the superior quality of these lyrics, which rank among the finest sonnets ever written-in any language. Over 150 poems deal with love, friendship, the tyranny of time, beauty`s evanescence, death and other themes in language unsurpassed in power, precision and beauty. Now this inexpensive Dover edition enables any lover of poetry or fine literature to have this exquisite verse in his or her personal library.
