  Painter Vincent van Gogh The -...

  Anyone who knows Vincent van Gogh only as a tragic myth has seen only the frame. This non-fiction book goes straight to the paintings and shows how radical colour, urgent brushwork and a searching mind helped push Impressionism into Post-Impressionism and shape modern art. Author and editor Bert Alexander Petzold offers a fact-rich, entertaining, clearly structured tour that replaces legend with usable knowledge: how to place works, read motifs, and see why the paint feels so immediate.
  Born on 30 March 1853 in Groot Zundert, the pastor's son tried several paths - Goupil & Cie. in The Hague, London and Paris, teaching and lay preaching - before committing to art in 1880. From Brussels, Etten and The Hague he developed his early realism and painted 'The Potato Eaters'. In Paris (1886), living with his brother Theo, he met the avant-garde, absorbed Impressionism, and brightened his palette in works such as 'Self-Portrait with Grey Felt Hat' and 'Flowering Orchard', forging a style that intensified rather than imitated.
  Arles in 1888 brought the southern light and iconic images - 'The Bedroom', 'Starry Night Over the Rhône', 'Café Terrace at Night' - as well as the dream of an artists' community. The collapse of his partnership with Paul Gauguin led to crisis and, in 1889, to Saint-Rémy, where unrest and discipline produced paintings of extraordinary force, including 'The Starry Night', 'Cypresses', 'Wheat Field with Cypresses' and the 'Sunflowers'. In May 1890 he moved to Auvers-sur-Oise near Dr Paul Gachet and Theo, made nearly eighty pictures in weeks-among them 'Portrait of Dr Gachet' and 'Wheatfield with Crows' - and died on 29 July 1890 after shooting himself.
  Perfect for GCSE and A-level revision as well as university study, the book uses biography and masterpieces as a key to looking, so you can not only recognise Van Gogh but truly understand him.

  Anarchy in High Heels

  A San Francisco porno theater might be the last place you'd expect to plant the seed of a feminist troupe, but truth is stranger than fiction. 
  In 1972, access to birth control and a burn-your-bra ethos were leading young women to repudiate their 1950s conservative upbringing and embrace a new liberation. Denise Larson was a timid twenty-four-year-old actress wannabe when, at an after-hours countercultural event called The People's Nickelodeon, she accidentally created Les Nickelettes. This banding together of like-minded women with an anything-goes spirit unlocked a deeply hidden female humor. For the first time, Denise allowed the suppressed satirical thoughts dancing through her head to come out in the open. Together with Les Nickelettes, which quickly became a brazen women's lib troupe, she presented a series of feminist skits, stunts, and musical comedy plays that led The Bay Guardian to describe the group in 1980 as "nutty, messy, flashy, trashy, and very funny." 
  With sisterhood providing the moxie, Denise took on leadership positions not common for women at the time: playwright, stage director, producer, and administrative/artistic director. But, in the end, the most important thing her time with Les Nickelettes taught her was the power of female friendship.
