U nás se proslavila i svou první osobní návštěvou v roce 1988, kdy děsila kulturní pracovníky i Státní bezpečnost, až je vyděsila a proměnila své vystoupení v otevřenou podporu tehdy stíhanému Václavu Havlovi a Chartě 77. Ve svých pamětech s upřímností a zaujetím popisuje svoje začátky na folkové scéně, vypráví o svém vztahu - v hudbě i soukromí - s Bobem Dylanem; o svém manželství i bolestném rozchodu s Davidem Harrisem; o radosti z narození syna Gabriela. S předmluvou uznávaného hudebního kritika Anthonyho DeCurtise je kniha Můj hlas je dar poutavým portrétem známé americké kulturní ikony. Díky otevřenosti a citlivosti, jež nás v hudbě Joan Baezové tak dojímají, a díky síle a pevnosti jejího politického postoje dostává čtenář do ruky upřímnou a inspirativní výpověď o životě a práci jedné z nejpozoruhodnějších uměleckých osobností naší doby.

This monograph on the paintings of Lois Dodd provides invaluable analysis and contextualisation of her work alongside such New York City contemporaries as Alex Katz, Philip Pearlstein and other denizens of the Tenth Street milieu of the 1950s. Emerging from the shadow of Abstract Expressionism, Dodd and this circle clung to a realism based in the early modernist tradition.Beginning in the 1950s, Lois Dodd has steadfastly pursued her observational painting, remaining aloof from passing trends. She is widely admired as a ‘painter’s painter’ whose landscapes and city scenes display subtle effects of place, light and weather within graphically distilled compositions. Dodd’s works capture the intangible character of changing seasons or particular hours of day in locations throughout New York City, rural New Jersey and Maine, but the paintings betray no mark of era; they are curiously timeless.Through extensive studio visits and interviews, Faye Hirsch considers the processes, places and impulses behind Dodd’s paintings and reveals her outwardly peaceful, reflective canvases to be the product of an alert and forceful eye and a powerfully efficient execution.

The first major study of Alan Bush, this book provides new perspectives on twentieth-century music and communism. British communist, composer of politicised works, and friend of Soviet musicians, Bush proved to be ''a lightning rod'' in the national musical culture. His radical vision for British music prompted serious reflections on aesthetics and the rights of artists to private political opinions, as well as influencing the development of state-sponsored music making in East Germany. Rejecting previous characterisations of Bush as political and musical Other, Joanna Bullivant traces his aesthetic project from its origins in the 1920s to its collapse in the 1970s, incorporating discussion of modernism, political song, music theory, opera, and Bush''s response to the Soviet music crisis of 1948. Drawing on a wealth of archival sources, including recently released documents from MI5, this book constructs new perspectives on the ''cultural Cold War'' through the lens of the individual artist.
