Ray Johnson: Selective Inheritance

? University of California Press, 2018. Hardcover. Fine Condition/Fine. 9780520296268 Firmly bound, clean unmarked pages, unmarked jacket. A well-kept copy. Believing that one thing was real only insofar as it corresponded with others, twentieth-century artist Ray Johnson highlighted the connections between himself and other artists including Andy Warhol, Jackson Pollock, Anni Albers, and especially Marcel Duchamp. This study of Johnson through the lens of Duchamp and the other artists who inspired him entails the investigation of hieroglyphs, codes, action figures, queer theory, and cultural history. By examining Johnson’s collage and Correspondence art in relation to his main inspirations, this critical work brings new light to the study of Johnson and to the dynamic networks of artistic inheritance and correspondence of the twentieth century. 268 pages.

Christopher Masters

Windows in Art

Merrell Publishers , 2011. Hardcover. Near Fine Condition/Near Fine. 9781858945545 Bump to top corner of front board, book's contents are clean and bright, slight creasing to top rear edge of jacket. In this engaging new study, Christopher Masters celebrates the multiple roles of the window in ar t through five key themes, from the window as a status symbol to its use as a provider of physical and spiritual illumination; from its employment as a literal window on the world outside the confines of a room to its function as a mirror, reflecting the emotions of the artist or the individuals depicted; and finally to the immense architectural variety of windows that animate interior and exterior scenes throughout Western painting. With superb reproductions of 90 works by major artists from Giotto to Banksy, and spirited analysis of the paintings' meanings, this is a remarkable exploration of an important but hither to neglected subject in art history. 192 pages.

Women in Polish Cinema

Berghahn Books, 2005. Softcover. As New. 9781571819482 In as new condition. Clean bright and unmarked... an important contribution to film studies not only in Poland, but in Eastern and Central Europe in general. The authors demonstrate that women are both revered and despised in Polish culture, a phenomenon Mazierska and Ostrowska attribute to the persistence of overt patriarchy in both social relations and culture. This system of thought, they aver, has shaped and policed the lives of Polish women for generations. --Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television 244 pages. Quantity Available: 1.

Film Composers in America: A Filmography, 1911-1970

OUP, 2000. second Edition, Hardcover. Fine Condition/Fine. 9780195114737 Clean unmarked pages, lightly worn jacket. A well looked-after copy. The product of forty-five years of research, this landmark reference stands as the first study to identify all composers who wrote background musical scores for motion pictures in the US up to 1970. In the process, film-expert McCarty also documents the authorship of approximately 20,000 film scores. More than 1,500 composers are represented in these pages, not only Hollywood professionals but also many composers of concert music-as well as popular music and other genres-whose cinematic work has never before been fully catalogued. Movies of all types are included: features, shorts, cartoons, documentaries, nontheatrical works, avant-garde films, and even trailers. Wherever possible, the information is based on the most reliable evidence, that of the manuscript scores and cue sheets (as opposed to less accurate screen credits). 544 pages. Quantity Available: 1.

Shakespearean: On Life & Language in Times of Disruption

Picador, 2020. Hardcover. Fine Condition/Near Fine. 9781509896974 Clean unmarked pages, slight curling to jacket edges, small nick to lower front corner. Wonderful . a beautiful personal testament to why Shakespeare continues to matter so much. It is crammed with original insights, and springs equally from a deep knowledge of Shakespeare’s own world and a totally persuasive conviction that his plays speak to our own world, and our own selves, as cogently as they did to the Elizabethans. It is compulsively readable and I loved every page of it. -- Nicholas Hytner, theatre director 400 pages. Quantity Available: 1. ISBN/EAN: 9781509896974. Inventory No: dscf10799.

O’Connor’s palpable alienation and the subtly drawn comparisons between the Irish insurgency and America’s then-recent civil war create layers of depth in this exceptional period thriller.'
