Sinopsis

"Painter Scandals" explores the ethical ambiguities and controversies surrounding artists throughout history, examining how personal failings and political entanglements have shaped their careers and legacies. The book investigates the idea that an artist’s life is inseparable from their art, providing historical and social context to understand the scandals, like instances of censorship or condemnation, that have impacted not only the artists but also public perception of art. It delves into the intersection of art, politics, and personal life, revealing how these elements combine to create lasting controversies. The book analyzes the underlying causes and lasting impacts of these scandals on art history and cultural discourse. It examines cases of political backlash, where art was banned, personal betrayals, such as plagiarism within artistic circles, and moral transgressions, exploring how an artist’s personal life affected their work and reputation. By drawing from historical documents, biographies, critical essays, and the artists' writings, the book progresses from introducing core concepts to presenting case studies, ultimately considering the ongoing debates surrounding artistic freedom and cultural appropriation. "Painter Scandals" distinguishes itself by offering a comprehensive approach to understanding artistic controversies. Rather than simply recounting scandalous events, it encourages readers to develop a more critical and nuanced understanding of art, considering the context in which it is created and questioning their own interpretations.

The Monster Movies of Universal...

James L. Neibaur

This history and critique of classic scary films “honors Universal’s horror legacy. . . . an excellent resource for film students and monster movie fanatics” (Library Journal). In 1931 Universal Studios released Dracula starring Bela Lugosi. This box office success was followed by a string of films featuring macabre characters and chilling atmospherics, including Frankenstein, The Mummy, and The Invisible Man. With each new film, Universal established its place in the Hollywood firmament as the leading producer of horror films, a status it enjoyed for more than twenty years. In The Monster Movies of Universal Studios, James L. Neibaur examines the key films produced by the studio from the early 1930s through the mid-1950s. In each entry, Neibaur recounts the movie’s production, provides critical commentary, considers the film’s commercial reception, and offers an overall assessment of the movie’s significance. Neibaur also examines the impact these films had on popular culture, an influence that resonates in the cinema of fear today. From the world premiere of Dracula to the 1956 release of The Creature Walks among Us, Universal excelled at scaring viewers of all ages—and even elicited a few chuckles along the way by pitting their iconic creatures against the comedic pair of Abbott and Costello. The Monster Movies of Universal Studios captures the thrills of these films, making this book a treat for fans of the golden age of horror cinema. “Studio stills and trade ads for several of the films add a suitably scary touch to this treat for fans and scholars alike. ― Booklist “An impressive work of film scholarship.” ― Cinema Retro

Hollywood’s 10 Greatest Actors

Editors Charles River

In 1999, the American Film Institute released its list of the 50 greatest Hollywood stars of the 20th century, and selecting the 10 best actors out of the bunch was certainly a tall task. The competition was so stacked that men like Gary Cooper and John Wayne were not even among the Top 10. So who were the Top 10 men selected by the AFI? 
One man has long been considered the greatest male star. From the time he first became a leading man, Humphrey Bogart’s screen image has resonated with viewers more than perhaps any other actor. His persona as a tough guy who manages to maintain his sense of virtue no matter how compromising the situation features in some of the most famous films ever made. 
Movie stars are revered for their ability to captivate audiences, and perhaps no actor has done it as well as Cary Grant, the epitome of the suave, debonair actor who may have been rivaled only by dancer extraordinaire Fred Astaire.  
If the list was reconstructed today, it is entirely possible that Jimmy Stewart would rank first. Not only have movies such as It’s a Wonderful Life (1946) and Vertigo (1958) continued to gain in popularity even into the 21st century, but Stewart has come to embody an accessible image of American values that is easy for everyone to embrace. 
Over the course of his long, prolific career, Marlon Brando was considered perhaps the greatest actor of the 20th century as well as one of the most complicated and misunderstood. Uniquely able to be both emotionally charged and technically constrained in the same performance, he single-handedly changed the direction of acting, 
Best known for his role in Gone with the Wind (1939), Clark Gable had a unique appeal that captivated Depression-era audiences, while portraying tough guys and gangsters in the 1930s that turned James Cagney into a massive Hollywood star.
