Hiroshige 36 Views of Mt Fuji 1852

Cristina Berna, Eric Thomsen

Sinossi

Utagawa Hiroshige´s two Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji series, 1852 and 1858 are both a copy act and in themselves innovative artistic endeavors. 

Katsushika Hokusai published his famous series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji in 1830-1832 and it influenced Hiroshige tremendously to his own series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji series 1852 which we deal with here.

It is in the same horizontal format for landscapes that Hokusai used. In a subsequent series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji published in 1858 Hiroshige shifted to the vertical portrait format with novel and interesting results. We deal with that in a separate volume.

It is possible to travel to see the same sites today and enjoy the views of Mt Fuji, which is still very important to the Japanese.

THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
  
FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY WILLIAM FRIEDKIN 
  
CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
  
ABOUT THE FILM 
The Exorcist is a 1973 supernatural horror film directed by William Friedkin, based on William Peter Blatty's novel. The story follows Chris MacNeil, an actress whose 12-year-old daughter, Regan, begins exhibiting strange and violent behavior. As doctors fail to find a cause, Chris turns to Father Damien Karras, a Jesuit priest and psychologist, who suspects her daughter may be possessed by a demon. The film explores themes of faith, good versus evil, and the battle for the soul, set against a backdrop of chilling supernatural events, making it one of the most iconic and unsettling horror films in cinema history. 
  
TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
  
“Due to threats against Linda Blair from religious extremists who believed the film glorified Satan, Warner Bros. provided her with bodyguards for six months after the film's release.” 
  
“On the first day of filming the exorcism sequence, Linda Blair's foul-mouthed dialogue so shocked the gentlemanly Max von Sydow that he forgot his lines.” 
  
“The Exorcist became Warner Bros.' highest-grossing film of all time when adjusted for inflation.” 
  
“The original teaser trailer, which featured quick flashes of a white-faced demon, was banned in several theaters for being too frightening.” 
  
“If adjusted for inflation, The Exorcist would still hold the title of the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time.”

David Lynch - Revised & Updated...

Michelle Le Blanc, Colin Odell

Internationally renowned, David Lynch was America's premier purveyor of the surreal, an artist whose work in cinema, television, and the internet exposed the world to his highly personalized view of society. This book examines his oeuvre, from the cult surrealism of his debut feature Eraserhead to his last feature Inland Empire, considering the themes, motifs, and stories behind his incredible feature films, shorts, and internet projects. His series Twin Peaks revolutionized TV and expanded the possibilities of what the medium could offer. This updated edition includes Twin Peaks: The Return, his continuation of the series twenty-five years after the original had set the world alight. 
 
In Lynch's world the mundane and the fantastical collide, often with terrifying consequences. It is a place where the abnormal is normal, where the respectable becomes sinister, where innocence is lost and redemption gained at a terrible price. And there's always music in the air. From the deserts of a distant world to an ordinary backyard, at the breakneck speed of Lost Highway or the sedate determination of The Straight Story, listeners will experience amateur sleuths, messiahs, giants and dwarves, chanteuses, psychopaths, cherry pie, and damn fine coffee. 
 
David Lynch is your guide to this other world . . . and this is your guide to David Lynch.
