He was the King of Rockabilly, and one of rock and roll's true pioneers. A groundbreaking guitarist, singer, and songwriter, Carl Perkins inspired countless musicians in country, rock, and pop music. Now acclaimed music writer Jeff Apter recounts Carl Perkins's remarkable life story—the triumphs, tragedies, and career highlights that include some of the most pivotal moments in music history. Born in Tennessee to poor sharecroppers, Carl grew up listening to gospel and country music, learned blues guitar from a fellow field hand, and started writing songs at age fourteen. He plied his trade in rowdy honky-tonks, performing with his brothers before beginning his recording career at the legendary Sun Studio in Memphis. It was there that Carl became a member of the fabled Million Dollar Quartet, alongside Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, and Jerry Lee Lewis. In 1955, he wrote and recorded "Blue Suede Shoes," the first record by a Sun artist to sell over a million copies. But then a fateful car crash stalled his career, one of many tragedies in Carl's life. Over the following decades, countless artists performed and recorded his songs and became Carl's friends, collaborators, and champions. Rich with insider detail and background into Carl's private battles, humanitarian work, and personal inspirations, this is a fascinating, in-depth look at his one-of-a-kind legacy.Mostra libro
"Encargos Comunes" se presenta como un proyecto editorial que resume, a partir de tres obras de arquitectura, la práctica e investigación desarrollada por la oficina de arquitectura Taller25 en torno a esta profesión y su vínculo con la clase media contemporánea chilena. Estas obras identifican y visibilizan tres demandas sobre la vivienda: una Construcción nueva, una Reforma y una Ampliación, realizadas en comunas que normalmente se conocen como "Pericentrales" y "Periféricas" de la región Metropolitana (Lo Prado, San Bernardo y Maipú), cuyos mandantes o dueñas/os se inscriben en lo que estadísticamente se define como la clase media, transformándose así en un compendio atípico dentro de la disciplina de la arquitectura. De esta manera, la publicación propone una discusión crítica sobre la producción de la vivienda, y no de cualquier vivienda, sino de las más comunes de todas y, paradójicamente, menos abordadas desde el campo editorial y de divulgación en el área, como pueden ser las operaciones sobre la vivienda de y para los sectores medios.Mostra libro
How can we interpret the work of contemporary artists? Focal Points is a new book series of essays, articles and reviews by acclaimed curator and critic Robert Storr. Expertly edited by art historian and curator Francesca Pietropaolo, and richly illustrated, it lends Storr’s illuminating insights into an artist’s practice and way of thinking across recent decades. Brilliantly scholarly, accessible and engaging, Focal Points offers fresh interpretations of the varied territory of modern and contemporary art. This second volume considers the work of American abstract painter Ad Reinhardt (1913–1967). Active in New York for over three decades, Reinhardt was part of the group of artists who became known as Abstract Expressionists, and he made work that would prove influential to the younger generation of Minimal and Conceptual artists. He believed in a philosophy of what he called ‘art-as-art’ and used his writing and satirical cartoons to advocate for abstract art. As he famously wrote in 1962: ‘Art is art-as-art and everything else is everything else.’ In this volume, Storr discusses Reinhardt’s painting, his comics, and his slide lecture series or ‘non-happenings, ’ as the artist called them.Mostra libro
