A facsimile edition of the artist''s fascinating working notebooksBrooklyn-born Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-88) was one of the most important artists of the 1980s. A key figure in the New York art scene, he inventively explored the interplay between words and images throughout his career, first as a member of SAMO, a graffiti group active on the Lower East Side in the late 1970s, and then as a painter acclaimed for his unmistakable Neoexpressionist style. From 1980 to 1987, he filled numerous working notebooks with drawings and handwritten texts. This facsimile edition reproduces the pages of eight of these fascinating and rarely seen notebooks for the first time.The notebooks are filled with images and words that recur in Basquiat''s paintings and other works. Iconic drawings and pictograms of crowns, teepees, and hatch-marked hearts share space with handwritten texts, including notes, observations, and poems that often touch on culture, race, class, and life in New York. Like his other work, the notebooks vividly demonstrate Basquiat’s deep interests in comic, street, and pop art, hip-hop, politics, and the ephemera of urban life. They also provide an intimate look at the working process of one of the most creative forces in contemporary American art.Published in ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The legend of Jean-Michel Basquiat is as strong as ever. Synonymous with 1980s New York, the artist first appeared in the late 1970s under the tag SAMO, spraying caustic comments and fragmented poems on the walls of the city. He appeared as part of a thriving underground scene of visual arts and graffiti, hip hop, post-punk, and DIY filmmaking, which met in a booming art world. As a painter with a strong personal voice, Basquiat soon broke into the established milieu, exhibiting in galleries around the world.Basquiat's expressive style was based on raw figures and integrated words and phrases. His work is inspired by a pantheon of luminaries from jazz, boxing, and basketball, with references to arcane history and the politics of street life-so when asked about his subject matter, Basquiat answered "royalty, heroism and the streets." In 1983 he started collaborating with the most famous of art stars, Andy Warhol, and in 1985 was on the cover of The New York Times Magazine. When Basquiat died at the age of 27, he had become one of the most successful artists of his time.First published in an XXL edition, this unprecedented insight into Basquiat's art is now available in a ...

Jean-Michel Basquiat's symbolic, complex, and often emotionally charged work made a huge impact on the 1980s downtown New York City art scene. And though his all-too-brief career ended when he died at age 27, Basquiat left behind an enormous legacy-not only in the number of works he produced, but also in the messages he encoded around political, social, racial, and cultural issues.This exciting book shows how Basquiat used an intricate network of signs and symbols to challenge the very system that made him a darling of the art world. It traces his inspiration from cartoons, children's drawings, and advertising as well as his own Haitian and Puerto Rican heritage; discusses the influence of African-American, African, and Aztec cultural histories; and shows how Basquiat incorporated into his work classical themes and contemporary icons-from athletes to musicians.

The Show that never Was Reuniting eight key Basquiat works that mark the graffiti artist's transition to painterly autonomy. Numerous publications and exhibitions have examined Jean-Michel Basquiat's extensive oeuvre that consists of more than 3000 works, this catalogue though focuses on eight paintings only: In the summer of 1982, Basquiat traveled to Modena, Italy, for one of his first solo exhibitions in Europe at the gallery of Emilio Mazzoli. Within just a few days, he painted a group of large-format paintings that surpassed his previous work not only in terms of their scale. Each at least two by four meters in size, they mark the transition from graffiti spraying in the streets of Manhattan to painting on canvas. At the same time, they reflect an artist coming into his own. The paintings - including masterpieces that today are considered pivotal and among the most outstanding of his oeuvre - have never been shown together. This catalogue revisits this crucial moment of Basquiat's career some 40 years ago and reunites them for the first time.

Before his death at the age of twenty-seven, Jean-Michel Basquiat completed nearly 2,000 works. These unique compositions—collages of text and gestural painting across a variety of media—quickly made Basquiat one of the most important and widely known artists of the 1980s. Reading Basquiat provides a new approach to understanding the range and impact of this artist’s practice, as well as its complex relationship to several key artistic and ideological debates of the late twentieth century, including the instability of identity, the role of appropriation, and the boundaries of expressionism. Jordana Moore Saggese argues that Basquiat, once known as “the black Picasso,” probes not only the boundaries of blackness but also the boundaries of American art. Weaving together the artist’s interests in painting, writing, and music, this groundbreaking book expands the parameters of aesthetic discourse to consider the parallels Basquiat found among these disciplines in his exploration of the production of meaning. Most important, Reading Basquiat traces the ways in which Basquiat constructed large parts of his identity—as a black man, as a musician, as a painter, and as a writer—via the manipulation of texts in his own library.

An icon of 1980s New York, Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960–1988) first made his name under the graffiti tag “SAMO”, before establishing his studio practice and catapulting to fast fame at the age of 20. Although his career lasted barely a decade, he remains a cult figure of artistic social commentary, and a trailblazer in the mediation of graffiti and gallery art. Basquiat’s work drew upon diverse sources and media to create an original and urgent artistic vocabulary, biting with critique against structures of power and racism. His practice merged abstraction and figuration, poetry and painting, while his influences spanned Greek, Roman, and African art, French poetry, jazz, and the work of artistic contemporaries such as Andy Warhol and Cy Twombly. The results are vivid, visceral mixtures of words, African emblems, cartoonish figures, daubs of bold color, and beyond. This book presents Basquiat’s short but prolific career, his unique style, and his profound engagement with ever-relevant issues of integration and segregation, poverty and wealth.

Paris, 1959. As dusk settles over the immigrant quarter, 12-year-old Michel Marini - amateur photographer and compulsive reader - is drawn to the hum of the local bistro. From his usual position at the football table, he has a vantage point on a grown-up world - of rock ''n'' roll and of the Algerian War. But as the sun sinks and the plastic players spin, Michel''s concentration is not on the game, but on the huddle of men gathered in the shadows of a back room... Past the bar, behind a partly drawn curtain, a group of eastern European men gather, where under a cirrus of smoke and over the squares of chess boards, they tell of their lives before France - of lovers and wives, children and ambitions, all exiled behind the Iron Curtain. Listening to this band of survivors and raconteurs, Michel is introduced to a world beyond the boundaries of his childhood experience, a world of men made formidable in the face of history, ideas and politics: the world of the Incorrigible Optimists Club.

Je Tom Larch skutečně nesmrtelný? Žádný člověk by nemohl přežít nehody, z nichž Tom vyvázl. Zná snad nějaké tajemství, které ho před ranami osudu chrání? Nebo nad ním bdí anděl strážný? Dostane se pokaždé ze všeho náhodou, nebo díky pudu sebezáchovy? V osmi letech musel opustit Nové Dillí a vydat se do Londýna; Tom je odjakživa rozkročen mezi dvěma kulturami - kulturou indické matky a kulturou otce, anglického inženýra. Když mu je osmnáct roků, nastoupí ke Královskému námořnictvu a proti jeho vůli se z něj stane hrdina. Po návratu do civilu ho jeden z nejbohatších mužů světa požádá, aby se vydal do Indie pátrat po jeho ztraceném synovi - jedině Tom jej totiž dokáže najít.

An illuminating selection of writings on a wide variety of topics—everything from technique, music theory, and daily routine to spirituality and systemic racism—from the personal journals of Sonny Rollins, master of the tenor saxophone and “jazz’s greatest living improviser” (The New York Times).Sonny Rollins is one of the towering masters of American music, a virtuoso of the saxophone, and an unequaled improviser whose live performances are legendary and who has reshaped modern jazz time and time again over the course of a career lasting more than sixty years. A turning point in that legendary career came in 1959, when Rollins stepped back from performing and recording to begin a new regime of musical exploration, which saw him practicing for hours, sometimes all through the night, on the Williamsburg Bridge. This was also the moment when he started the notebook that would become a trusted companion in years to come—not a diary so much as a place to ponder art and life and his own search for meaning in words and in images.At once quotidian and aphoristic, the notebooks mingle lists of chores and rehearsal routines with ruminations on nightclub culture, racism, and the conundrums of the inner life. And always ... Unknown localization key: "more"

While his old furniture rots in storage, Malte Laurids Brigge lives in a cheap room in Paris, with little but a library reader's card to distinguish him from the city's untouchables. Every person he sees seems to carry their death with them, and he thinks of the deaths, and ghosts, of his aristocratic family, of which only he remains. The only novel by one of the greatest writers of poetry in German, the semi-autobiographical Notebooks is an uneasy, compelling and poetic book that anticipated Sartre and is full of passages of lyrical brilliance.Michael Hulse's new translation perfectly conveys the unsettling beauty of the original and is accompanied by an introduction on Rilke's life and the biographical and literary influences on the Notebooks. This edition also includes suggested further reading, a chronology and notes.

Osip Mandelstam is one of the greatest of twentieth-century poets and Voronezh Notebooks, a sequence of poems composed between 1935 and 1937 when he was living in internal exile in the Soviet city of Voronezh, is his last and most exploratory work. Meditating on death and survival, on power and poetry, on marriage, madness, friendship, and memory, challenging Stalin between lines that are full of the sights and sounds of the steppes, blue sky and black earth, the roads, winter breath, spring with its birds and flowers and bees, the notebooks are a continual improvisation and an unapologetic affirmation of poetry as life.

Michelovi Marinimu je už sedmnáct let a právě odmaturoval. Poflakuje se po Paříži, hraje fotbálek, hledá sám sebe a chystá se zapsat na univerzitu. Další plány? Odjet do Izraele za Camille, která tam žije v kibucu, s Leicou v ruce objevovat svět a najít Cécile, milou svého bratra Francka.

V roce 1924 se v poválečné euforii v taneční restauraci seznámí servírka Irene a Georges, kulisák pařížských filmových studií. Zamilují se, vezmou se, narodí se jim děti. První je Arlene. Je jiná než její sestry i její nerozluční přátelé Thomas, Daniel a Marie. Arlene je zvídavá, ponořená v knížkách, a když vyroste, rozhodne se prorazit hráz nízkého původu, genderových předsudků a nedůvěry - chce se stát inženýrkou a věnovat se výzkumu atomové energie.

Hrdinou Vysněného života Ernesta G. je Josef Kaplan, český lékař židovského původu, který v třicátých letech 20. století vystuduje v Paříži, válku a antisemitské běsnění přečká v alžírském vyhnanství a po ukončení bojů se vrací do osvobozeného Československa. Netuší však, že ani zde se svobody příliš nenadechne a že stráví téměř celý život v totalitním režimu. Když v roce 1966 přijme v sanatoriu k léčení jistého jihoamerického revolucionáře, dostoupí jeho absurdní životní dráha vrcholu. Protože se dožívá stých narozenin, zažije i pád železné opony a konečně se může zase podívat do Francie, kde se snaží posbírat střípky svého rodinného života. Podobně jako v Klubu nenapravitelných optimistů, Jean-Michel Guenassia i ve svém druhém románu představuje řadu nezapomenutelných postav (z nichž některé známe již z Klubu). a utkává bohaté předivo přátelských a milostných vztahů. Zevrubně se věnuje otázkám politickým a společenským a obohacující francouzskou optikou nahlíží každodenní život v komunistickém Československu.

Auver-sur-Oise, léto 1890. Marguerite Gachetová je mladá dívka, dusící se v krunýři zvyklostí, který ženy konce devatenáctého stolení musejí nosit. Stane se poslední láskou Vincenta Van Gogha. Jejich setkání jim nadobro zpřevrací životy. Jean-Michel Guenassia nám předkládá překvapivou verzi tohoto období. Co kdyby doktor Gachet nebyl věrným zastáncem impresionistů, ale naopak jejich chamtivým a ješitným odpůrcem? Co kdyby jeho dcera byla příliš vášnivá a příliš zamilovaná? Co kdyby Van Gogh nespáchal sebevraždu? A co kdyby část jeho obrazů vystavených v Musée d´Orsay byla falešná? Autor na základě nejnovějších poznatků o umělcově životě klade spoustu otázek. A nachází na ně nečekané odpovědi, které nám předkládá s vypravěčskou bravurou a dokumentaristickou věrohodností, jaké známe z Klubu nenapravitelných optimistů.

In this lively and fully-illustrated work, two music historians break down every album and every song ever released by the Beatles, from "Please Please Me" (U.S. 1963) to "The Long and Winding Road" (U.S. 1970).All the Songs delves deep into the history and origins of the Beatles and their music. This first-of-its-kind book draws upon decades of research, as music historians Margotin and Guesdon recount the circumstances that led to the composition of every song, the recording process, and the instruments used. Here, we learn that one of John Lennon's favorite guitars was a 1958 Rickenbacker 325 Capri, which he bought for £100 in 1960 in Hamburg, Germany. We also learn that "Love Me Do," recorded in Abbey Road Studios in September 1962, took 18 takes to get right, even though it was one of the first songs John and Paul ever wrote together. The authors also reveal that when the Beatles performed "I Want to Hold Your Hand" on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964, John's microphone wasn't turned on, so viewers only heard Paul singing. There are hundreds of photographs throughout the book, including rare black-and-white publicity stills, images of the Beatles' instruments, and engaging shots of the ...
