Beschreibung

One of the most celebrated painters of the fifteenth century, Fra Angelico is the only artist to be canonised as a saint, whose works embody a serene religious attitude and strong Classical influence. Part saint, part artist, Angelico was placed at the forefront of innovation, helping to develop the basic techniques and devices that would become staples of the Italian Renaissance. He gave emphasis to realistic perspective and modelling of figures in space, following on from the innovations of Masaccio. His dedication to naturalism anticipated the Renaissance love for classicism, producing innovative works that broke down the restraints of rigidly partitioned Gothic altarpieces. Delphi’s Masters of Art Series presents the world’s first digital e-Art books, allowing readers to explore the works of great artists in comprehensive detail. This volume presents Fra Angelico’s complete works in beautiful detail, with concise introductions, hundreds of high quality images and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)

    SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD 
    THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
      
    FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY EDGAR WRIGHT 
      
    CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
      
    ABOUT THE FILM 
    Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is a 2010 action-comedy film directed by Edgar Wright, based on the graphic novel series by Bryan Lee O'Malley. The story follows Scott Pilgrim, a 22-year-old bassist in the indie rock band Sex Bob-Omb, who falls for Ramona Flowers, an enigmatic woman with a complicated past. To win her heart, Scott must face and defeat her seven evil exes in a series of surreal, video game-inspired battles. The film blends visual effects, comic book elements, and fast-paced action with themes of love, self-discovery, and personal growth, all wrapped in a quirky, energetic tone. 
      
    TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
      
    “At the first Battle of the Bands, Scott is seen wearing a "Plumtree" t-shirt. Plumtree, an all-girl indie rock band, released the song "Scott Pilgrim" on their 1998 album Predicts the Future. This song was the inspiration for Bryan Lee O'Malley to create the graphic novel's title character.” 
      
    “To avoid an R-Rating, the word "Fuck" said by Envy to Julie had to be bleeped out because Scott Pilgrim calls Todd Ingram a "cocky-cock" earlier in the film.” 
      
    “The star on Ramona's bag changes to match her hair color.” 
      
    “The stunt doubles for Lucas Lee are the actual stunt doubles for actor Chris Evans. However, only a quarter of the doubles resemble Evans.”

    The Master of Drums - Gene Krupa...

    From the early 1930s onward, Gene Krupa was a drum-centric rarity in the jazz world. Never before had a drummer been in the forefront as a solo artist. His galvanizing, unrestrained passion for percussion demanded it. Rocking the rafters, Gene thrilled audiences in ballrooms, nightclubs, and movies. 
     
     
     
    Seemingly born jazz-drum crazy in 1909 to a Polish-immigrant working-class family in South Chicago, Gene was a professional by the age of thirteen and soon made his first recordings. By the early 1930s, he was New York City's most in-demand drummer, and in 1934, joined brilliant clarinetist Benny Goodman's band, helped inaugurate the Swing Era, and played the first-ever swing concert at Carnegie Hall. He formed his own band and shattered racial boundaries by sharing the spotlight with the African-American trumpeter Roy Eldridge. But after a skyrocketing ride to the top, Gene experienced a rollercoaster ride of good and bad luck, emotional highs, and devastating depths. 
     
     
     
    In The Master of Drums, biographer Elizabeth J. Rosenthal crafts a celebratory, honest, and exhaustively researched portrait of a twentieth-century music legend. When he died, Gene Krupa may have left behind a world of grieving friends, colleagues, fans, students, and progeny, but as The Master of Drums proves, his dynamic musical and cultural influences live on.

    Taste in Music - Eating on Tour...

    Luke Pyenson, Alex Bleeker

    Through original essays and engaging conversations with dozens of indie musicians representing several subgenres, scenes, and eras, food takes center stage in stories about being on tour and eating on tour and how this basic human necessity can create a sense of community and interconnectedness in one of the most mobile industries in the world. Based broadly on the subject of eating on tour, these entries each spin off into their own focused and exciting behind-the-scenes story, but all confirm what Pyenson and Bleeker suspected all along—food looms large in the lives of touring musicians, and it can be used as a gateway into understanding what going on tour is really like. 
     
     
     
    Stories that deal with the best parts of touring: meaningful cultural exchange, hospitality-induced euphoria, and the opportunity to build relationships around the world. And the worst: loneliness, exhaustion, estrangement from family and friends, struggles with disordered eating, and unsteady access to medical care. 
     
     
     
    So the question isn't, "How was tour?" It's, "What do you eat on tour?" Like the best songs or meals, these conversations and essays evoke something central about the human experience. They show us all the ways that music and food bring us together, break us down, lift us up, and add color to our lives.
