Sinopsis

Banned Paintings explores the compelling history of art censorship, revealing the stories behind artworks deemed too controversial for public consumption. This exploration delves into the tension between creative freedom and societal control, highlighting how art can be both a powerful tool for social commentary and a target of political ideologies. 

 
The book examines instances such as the Nazi regime's suppression of "degenerate art," illustrating how the act of banning art often reflects deeper societal anxieties about power, morality, and the status quo. The book progresses chronologically, beginning with a framework for understanding censorship in the arts and then dedicating sections to major periods and movements in art history where censorship played a significant role. 

 
By studying the reasons behind the banning of particular artworks, the audience gains insights into the values, fears, and prejudices of different cultures and historical periods. This unique approach challenges the conventional understanding of art history, urging a consideration of the social and political forces that have shaped artistic production and reception.

    Paper Paradise - Do What You...

    Paper Paradise: Do What You Want To Do is a roller coaster ride through the sex, drugs and rock and roll of the ’60s and ’70s to the high-flying business world of the ’80s and into the ’90s and beyond—with someone who lived it all. 
    It is a book about ambition, hunger, desperation, success and the fruits thereof. Oh yes, it is also about failure and fighting back. 
    Charting the extraordinary life and times of Glenn Wheatley, from working class boy to rock star of the 1960s and 1970s as a member of one of Australia’s most successful early bands, the Masters Apprentices, now immortalised in the ARIA Hall of Fame. In their heyday, the Masters drew bigger crowds than the Beatles in Australia. 
    In the 1980s he soared from rock star to star manager of the Little River Band and Whispering Jack, John Farnham. He also pioneered the FM Radio industry with the first FM radio station to go to air in Australia, EON FM in Melbourne. He then went on to build the foundation of what is now the Triple M radio network. 
    It is a narrative littered with casualties and is an actual account of a self-protective society that has its own Kings and Queens, its own iconography, its own language. 
    After a meteoric rise in the fast lane, and an equally spectacular fall, he made it back to the top. Glenn was the ultimate rock and roll survivor.

    Martha Graham (May 11, 1894 - April 1, 1991) was an influential American modern dancer and choreographer. In 1926, the Martha Graham Center of Contemporary Dance was established. In the following decades, it would help develop many of her famous proteges.  
    In 1938, Graham became the first dancer to perform at the White House. In 1976, she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Gerald Ford. Graham's influence on dance has been compared with the influence of Picasso on modern visual arts, Stravinsky on music, and Frank Lloyd Wright on architecture.  
    This recording is from a lecture Graham gave on the requirements for being an exceptional dancer.
