Summary

The pearl had played a significant role in beauty and feminity since ancient times. On Sandro Botticelli’s painting, The Birth of Venus, the Roman goddess of beauty and love, was said to be born from the sea, just like a pearl. Throughout history, aristocracy appreciated pearls as one of the oldest gems but the The Dutch Johannes Vermeer with the Girl with a Pearl Earring painting has proved us pearls can make any women simply elegant.
 
Nowadays pearls are not only for wealthy people, they can compliment any woman’s beauty.
 
The photographer, Stefan Mogyorosi, believes that the lines of pearls as they run on the female curves lead the eye and the play of lights and shadows on the round, flawlessly white little objects perfectly completes the black and white nude art photography.
 
The pearl-hunters took a big risk to discover the hidden gems on the bottom of the seas, often they were without oxygene for long minutes. People were mesmerized by their talent. Just as we are amazed by the braveness of these women in this book, who wear nothing but pearls. They would probably agree with Lady Sarah Churchill’s words: “I feel undressed if I don’t have my pearls on. My pearls are my security blanket.”

    The indispensable pocket guide to New York movies, from Martin Scorsese and Woody Allen to Lena Dunham and Noah Baumbach. 
ALSO AVAILABLE: 
Close-Ups: Wes Anderson 
Close-Ups: Vampire Movies 
New York has always been one of the world’s most filmed cities, with its apartments housing tenants like Rosemary's baby and the Royal Tenenbaums, its skyscrapers scaled by the likes of King Kong and graffiti artists and its rubble-strewn streets prowled by everyone from Travis Bickle to Carrie Bradshaw. 
In this pocket guide to New York and its movies, Mark Asch explores the Big Apple block by block and neighbourhood by neighbourhood, jogging past the iconic bench from Manhattan, eating at Katz’s Deli from When Harry Met Sally and mooching around the Coney Island boardwalk like one of The Warriors. Retracing the steps of countless iconic actors, cinematographers and directors, he draws up a unique cinematic map of The City That Never Sleeps. 
This book is not just a reference, but a top guide to the arts of direction and production in New York's entertainment scene. It's a biography of the city itself, told through the lens of its best movies.

    Street with No Name - A History...

    This history of film noir explores the legacy and aesthetic roots of American filmmakers including Orson Welles, John Huston, Otto Preminger, and others. Flourishing in the United States during the 1940s and 50s, the bleak, violent genre of filmmaking known as film noir reflected the attitudes of writers and auteur directors influenced by the events of the turbulent mid-twentieth century. Films such as Force of Evil, Night and the City, Double Indemnity, Kiss Me Deadly and later on, Chinatown and The Grifters are indelibly American. Yet the sources of this genre were found in Germany and France and imported to Hollywood by emigré filmmakers. Andrew Dickos's Street with No Name traces film noir back to its roots in German Expressionist cinema and the French cinema of the interwar years. Dickos describes the development of film noir in America from 1941 through the 1970s, covering notable directors such as Orson Welles, Fritz Lang, John Huston, Nicholas Ray, Robert Aldrich, Samuel Fuller, Otto Preminger, Robert Siodmak, Abraham Polonsky, Jules Dassin, Anthony Mann and others. Dickos also charts the genre's influence on such celebrated postwar French filmmakers as Jean-Pierre Melville, François Truffaut, and Jean-Luc Godard. Addressing the aesthetic, cultural, political, and social concerns of its creators, Street with No Name demonstrates how film noir generates a highly expressive, raw, and violent mood as it exposes the ambiguities of modern postwar society.A Choice Outstanding Academic Title
