Synopsis

"Metal in Sculpture" offers a comprehensive look at the intersection of metalworking techniques, design, and art history, tracing the evolution of metal sculpture from ancient bronze casting to contemporary sculpture. It examines how technological innovations and materials science have shaped artistic expression. One intriguing aspect explored is how the inherent properties of metals, such as strength and malleability, directly influence a sculptor's creative process. The book also delves into the social and economic factors affecting the use of specific metals throughout different eras.

 
The book uniquely combines technical explanations with artistic analysis, dissecting not just what sculptures exist but how and why they were created. It progresses logically, starting with the properties of metals, then moves through historical developments like forging and welding. Later chapters analyze specific periods and movements, culminating in discussions of ethical and environmental considerations in metal sourcing and fabrication. By connecting to fields like engineering and social history, the book provides a rich understanding of metal's role in artistic expression.

Blazing Saddles Meets Young...

Bruce G. Hallenbeck

1974 was a busy year for Mel Brooks. Although still recovering after a series of failed projects threatened his career, he pulled off a one-two punch that saw the release of two of the most beloved American comedies ever made: Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein. Although both films are well-known, the stories beyond the making of each movie are less so. How did they come to be, and how did the era's culture and politics not only permit them to be made, but help them to become enduring comedy classics? 
 
 
 
With their riotous parodies of Westerns and classic horror movies, Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein were not only hilarious. They played with charged social and cultural themes in an inimitable way, raising the bar for modern comedies even as they reshaped the two genres they were sending up. Blazing Saddles Meets Young Frankenstein: The 50th Anniversary of the Year of Mel Brooks explores in depth the zeitgeist and cinematic alchemy that led to 1974 becoming "the year of Mel Brooks."
