Charles Rennie Mackintosh

2002 y.
Publisher: Thames and Hudson
Description: Charles Rennie Mackintosh`s finest work dates from about a dozen intensely creative years around 1900. His buildings in Glasgow, and especially his craggy masterpiece the Glasgow School of Art, are more complex and playful than any other work in Britain at that time. His interiors, many of them designed in collaboration with his wife, Margaret Macdonald, are both spare and sensuous, a world of heightened aesthetic sensibility inside the Willow Tea Rooms or The Hill House. And his inventive imagination, which played constantly with the shape of curves and squares, produced designs for furniture which transformed ordinary chairs into pieces of abstract sculpture. Finally, in the 1920s he painted a series of watercolours which are as original as anything he had done before. Since his death, Mackintosh has been both lauded as a pioneer of the Modern Movement and as a master of Art Nouveau. [detailed...]

Charles Rose, Architect

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Charles Rose embraces the vast and varied panorama of the American landscape. Sensitive to his sites, the architect recognizes the poetry of every locale and uses his fascination with place as a central character in his designs. Regionalism, a term at times used to underrate architecture that is seen as too parochial or that eschews universal `truths` (most often those of modernism) in favor of a local style, becomes a practice of the highest order in the hands of Rose, one of America`s most accomplished young architects. With both the rigor of geometry and a commitment to ecosensitivity, his work is as attuned to the dense urban fabric of New York City as it is to the rural outback of Wyoming. The profile of his award-winning Paintrock Camp in Hyattville, Wyoming, follows the contours of a nearby canyon, Roses`s adaptive reuse of an industrial structure in New York City`s Chelsea neighborhood preserves the existing streetscape while creating a seamless flow between inside and out,… [detailed...]

In San Francisco, thousands of miles from Wall Street both literally and figuratively, a one-office firm triumphantly offers no sales commission brokers providing conflict-free discount brokerage services to all investors. The rest is history.

Charles Schwab himself has become synonymous with the brokerage industry. But who is Charles Schwab?

Charles Sheeler: Across Media

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Charles Sheeler (1883-1965) is recognized as one of the founders of American modernism and one of the master photographers of the twentieth century. His work is synonymous with precisionism, a crisp, clean, hard-edged style that reconciled cubist abstraction and the machine aesthetic of Marcel Duchamp with American subject matter. Trained in industrial drawing, decorative painting, and applied art at the School of Industrial Art in Philadelphia, Sheeler also attended the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, where he learned an impressionistic, painterly style. He later embraced European modernism and taught himself photography. Sheeler fully absorbed the lessons of each discipline and forged his own singular approach. This beautifully illustrated book, created to accompany a traveling exhibition of Sheeler`s work, features detailed analyses of the artist`s mediums and working methods. Focusing on the complex, often paradoxical, relationships among photography, film, drawing,… [detailed...]

Publisher: —
Description: The Puliter-Prize winning classic and national bestseller returns! In this brilliant biography?a Pulitzer Prize?winning national bestseller?David Herbert Donald, Harvard professor emeritus, traces Sumner`s life as the nation careens toward civil war. In a period when senators often exercised more influence than presidents, Senator Charles Sumner was one of the most powerful forces in the American government and remains one of the most controversial figures in American history. His uncompromising moral standards made him a lightning rod in an era fraught with conflict. Sumner`s fight to end slavery made him a hero in the North and stirred outrage in the South. In what has been called the first blow of the Civil War, he was physically attacked by a colleague on the Senate floor. Unwavering and arrogant, Sumner refused to abandon the moral high ground, even if doing so meant the onslaught of the nation`s most destructive war. He used his office and influence to transform the United… [detailed...]

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionSon of a convicted felon whose early death left the family impoverished, Charles Willson Peale (1741-1827) went on to lead a staggeringly full and successful life. A portrait painter who produced an unparalleled body of work, including the iconic The Artist in His Museum, Peale was also a revolutionary soldier, a radical activist, an impresario of moving pictures, a natural historian, an inventor, and the proprietor of one of the first modern museums. His many other interests included a lifelong preoccupation with writing, in fact, his autobiography is one of the first examples of the genre in the United States. David C. Ward`s engaging book, richly textured with references to the history and culture of the time, is the first full critical biography of Peale. It links the artist`s autobiography to his painting, illuminating the man, his art, and his times. Peale emerges for the first time as that particularly American phenomenon: the self-made man. Before Peale`s… [detailed...]

Charleston Architecture: 1670-1860

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThis book is about how a consistently high standard of excellence was achieved in Charleston architecture in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Regardless of what style Charleston`s architects used-Greek or Roman, Gothic or Renaissance, Adamesque or Greek Revival-they were in agreement about what constituted excellence. Special emphasis is placed on the knowledge that was required to create Charleston`s early architecture. An introduction discusses the writings and buildings of Andrea Palladio, Robert Adam, A. Welby Pugin, and other influential architects. Sources of inspiration for Charleston buildings have included specific buildings in Greece, Italy, England, France and Germany. Whenever possible, primary sources of information were used to determine how various types of Charleston buildings were designed and constructed. A dozen of the city`s best-documented buildings are considered in detail as a basis for comparison: Houses: a list of all expenses to… [detailed...]

Charlie Chaplin at Keystone and Essanay : Dawn of the Tramp

2005 y.
Publisher: iUniverse, Inc.
Description: Charlie Chaplin is universally hailed as the greatest comedic talent in the history of motion pictures. And yet Chaplin?s early efforts?which account for more than half of his total output-are often overlooked in favor of his later films. In 1914 Chaplin appeared in a total of 35 films for the Keystone Film Company, the following year he signed with the Essanay Film Manufacturing Company, where he wrote, directed and starred in more than a dozen short comedies. Though the resulting pictures were frequently crude and erratic, they reveal the emergence of a formidable comic genius. Charlie Chaplin at Keystone and Essanay: Dawn of the Tramp is a film-by-film examination of this period in Chaplin?s career, tracing the birth of his beloved ?Tramp? character and his evolution as an actor and filmmaker. Also discussed are how these movies have been re-edited, recopied, reissued and retitled over the years, with a special section that matches pseudonym titles… [detailed...]

Charlie Chaplin: Interviews

2005 y.
Publisher: University Press of Mississippi
Description: In late 1914, Charlie Chaplin`s name first began appearing on marquees. By the end of the following year, moviegoers couldn`t get enough of him and his iconic persona, the Little Tramp. Perpetually outfitted with baggy pants, a limp cane, and a dusty bowler hat, the character became so beloved that Chaplin was mobbed by fans, journalists, and critics at every turn. Although he never particularly liked giving interviews, he accepted the demands of his stardom, giving detailed responses about his methods of making movies. He quickly progressed from making two-reel shorts to feature-length masterpieces such as `The Gold Rush`, `City Lights`, and `Modern Times`. Charlie Chaplin: Interviews offers a complex portrait of perhaps the world`s greatest cinematic comedian and a man who is considered to be one of the most influential screen artists in movie history. The interviews he granted, performances in and of themselves, are often as well crafted as his films. Unlike the Little… [detailed...]
