Summary

Jules Mordecai Pincas (1885–1930) was a Bulgarian artist who settled down in Paris in 1905, after a detour via Munich. There he started painting signing Pascin, and soon became part of the École de Montparnasse and its cosmopolitan blend of outstanding names. 
His canvases are as turbulent as his lifestyle, and he still stands out as a bad boy. Pascin hang himself on June 2nd, 1930, despite the first fruits of success his work had collected. This book aims at taking a more comprehensive approach on his work and style than critics usually do.

    Designer, activist, and educator Cheryl D. Holmes-Miller is legendary for her  
decades of scholarship and advocacy, and as a touchstone and conscience for the  
design profession. In HERE: Where the Black Designers Are, Holmes-Miller  
documents the history of—and answers to—the question she has been asking for  
decades: “Where are the Black designers?”  
Holmes-Miller explores this essential question through the lens of her own  
development as a designer and leader, beginning with her own family and its rich  
multiethnic history. She narrates her experiences as a design student at Rhode  
Island School of Design (RISD), Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), and Pratt  
Institute, leading up to her oft-cited Pratt thesis examining barriers to success for  
Black designers. Holmes-Miller describes the work of her eponymous studio for  
noted clients that included NASA, Time Inc., and the nascent Black Entertainment  
Television (BET), as well as the story of her later critiques of the industry in Print 
magazine and other design publications. Holmes-Miller also recounts the parallel  
history of collective efforts by fellow scholars and advocates over the past fifty  
years to identify and celebrate Black designers. 
HERE is part memoir, part historical investigation, and an urgent call for justice  
and recognition for Black designers. 
“This book is representative of the shoulders on which we, as Black graphic  
designers, stand. These are the legacies we are fighting to uphold and the torches  
we must continue to carry. The journey of the Black designer has not been easy. It  
isn’t easy. And while we may be left out of history books, this is a reminder that we  
are here. Always have been. Always will be.”—Tré Seals, Vocal Type

    The Great Gate of Kiev resounds to the tumultuous bell rings that end Pictures an an Exhibition, one of the most magnificent and virtuosic of all piano pieces. However, to some of his contemporaries, Modest Mussorgsky was ‘insane’ and ‘a perfect idiot’. Born into a wealthy land-owning family, what drove this tormented man and why did he suffer psychological breakdowns and alcoholism? How did he achieve his command of the realist idiom in his stage works? Illustrated with some of Mussorgsky’s finest works, the biographical narrative includes excerpts from Songs and Dances of Death, Boris Godunov, A Night on the Bald Mountain and, of course, Pictures at an Exhibition.
