The Bob Hope Films James L. Neibaur
Book DescriptionBob Hope got his start in show business when he was in his twenties, remained active past the age of 90, and lived to be 100. His longevity was remarkable, especially when one considers that he was active in vaudeville, radio, motion pictures and television. He excelled in each of these popular forms of entertainment, but his films are the most genuine testaments to his timeless comedy. His smart quips, fast pace, and breezy manner were perfect ingredients for the brand of comedy that waspopular during World War II and the years immediately following the war. This book begins with a discussion of Bob Hope?s early career and the short films that he starred in, and then covers each of the Hope films beginning with The Big Broadcast of 1938.

The Open Studio : Essays on Art and Aesthetics Susan Stewart
Book Description Poets often have responded vitally to the art of their time, and ever since Susan Stewart began writing about art in the early 1980s, her work has resonated with practicing artists, curators, art historians, and art critics. Rooted in a broad and learned range of references, Stewart's fresh and independent essays bridge the fields of literature, aesthetics, and contemporary art. Gathering most of Stewart's writing on contemporary art--long and short pieces first published in small magazines, museum and gallery publications, and edited collections-- The Open Studio illuminates work ranging from the installation art of Ann Hamilton to the sculptures and watercolors of Thomas Schutte, the prints and animations of William Kentridge to the films of Tacita Dean. Stewart's essays are often the record of studio conversations with living artists and curators, and of the afterlife of those experiences in the solitude of her own study. Considering a wide......

That's the Way I See It David Hockney
Book Description "There is always, everywhere, an enormous amount of suffering, but I believe that my duty as an artist is to overcome and alleviate the sterility of despair...I do believe that painting can change the world." ?David Hockney In this classic book, one of the most critically acclaimed and universally popular artists of modern times describes his life and work from the mid-1970s to the 1990s. David Hockney has forged a new way of seeing through an intense exploration of a variety of forms. Working in almost every medium?painting, drawing, stage design, photography, and printmaking?he has stretched the boundaries of all of them. Hockney has undertaken a singular and ambitious experiment with ways of seeing and ways of representing sight: ranging from his paintings, with their challenges to perspective and brilliant colors, to his vivid multidimensional photo-collages and his fax art, computer printings, and colored laser prints.
