Sinopse

In "Greek Sculpture," Estelle M. Hurll presents a comprehensive analysis of ancient Greek art, focusing on the evolution and significance of sculpture from the archaic to the classical period. Hurll'Äôs literary style is both accessible and erudite, employing vivid descriptions and scholarly insights that invite readers to engage deeply with the visual narratives of Greek sculpture. By contextualizing the works within the social, political, and cultural frameworks of the time, Hurll'Äôs text serves as both an introduction to the uninitiated and a valuable resource for scholars, as it meticulously examines key figures and stylistic movements in the realm of Hellenistic sculpture. Estelle M. Hurll was an accomplished art historian whose passion for classical antiquity and its artistic expressions shaped her academic pursuits. Her meticulous research draws upon a rich tapestry of historical artifacts and archaeological findings, reflecting her dedication to illuminating the complexities of Greek art. Hurll's intimate familiarity with European art movements and classical philosophy also enriches the narrative of the book, allowing her to explore the philosophical underpinnings of the artistic transformations of ancient Greece. "Greek Sculpture" is an essential read for art enthusiasts, students, and scholars alike, offering a nuanced exploration of the cultural legacy of Greek artistry. Readers will find that Hurll'Äôs eloquent prose not only enhances their appreciation for these timeless works but also invites a thoughtful dialogue about their impact on Western art and culture.

    Irish Aran knitting is a living tradition with a worldwide reach. Arans communicate warmth, comfort and a sense of home, which people the world over continue to respond to, even though the connection to our rocky outcroppings in the Atlantic Ocean may be long forgotten. 
    Aran grew up in the harsh environment of the Aran Islands where everyday wear consisted of home-spun fabrics and knits. Today Aran survives as part of a rich craft heritage and as high and slow fashion on the catwalks of the world. 
    Vawn Corrigan explores the history, mythology and growth of this iconic design in this beautiful and informative hardback book.

    When she died in 1977, Joan Crawford was remembered as an icon of Hollywood's Golden Age—until publication the following year of her daughter's memoir, Mommie Dearest. 
     
     
     
    Christina Crawford's book was an immediate bestseller, addressing the infrequently discussed topic of child abuse. 
     
     
     
    When Paramount Pictures released the film, starring Faye Dunaway as Crawford, it was critically panned, and remains one of the most legendary critical bombs in film history. The lavish, big-screen adaptation drew unexpected laughter in the scenes depicting life in the Crawford household. Rarely have such good intentions been met with such ridicule. 
     
     
     
    Despite this, the movie was a commercial success and remains, four decades later, immensely popular. With Love, Mommie Dearest details the writing and selling of Christina's book and the aftermath of its publication, as well as the filming of the motion picture, whose backstage drama almost surpassed what was viewed onscreen in the film. 
     
     
     
    Based on new interviews with people connected to the book and the film, Hollywood historian A. Ashley Hoff explores the phenomenon, the camp, and the very real social issues addressed by the book and film.
