Steve McQueen

Autor: Marshall Terrill , Peter O Whitmer

Número de Páginas: 657

Steve McQueen takes us on a journey as his harrowing and painful childhood is laid bare, through his glittering career, and right up to his heroic battle with cancer and dramatic death in Mexico. It chronicles the good with the ugly, revealing the great power McQueen wielded. It features numerous behind-the-scenes stories from some of his (and cinema's) greatest films, including The Magnificent Seven, The Great Escape, The Sand Pebbles, The Thomas Crown Affair, Bullitt, The Getaway, and Papillon. The book's triumph is the way in which the author explores McQueen in full through his larger-than-life exploits but as important, the lesser known, humanitarian side of the Hollywood legend. It also captures the fundamental essence of what made McQueen cinema's "King of Cool."

The Hard One

Autor: Tawdra Kandle

Número de Páginas: 237

He’s the bad boy who’s trying to reform. She’s the woman whose heart he broke. Finding their way back together won’t be easy. I married Trent Wagner on impulse—reckless, romantic, and completely wrong for the woman I thought I was. A few weeks later, he was gone, leaving me with nothing but questions and a heart I couldn’t seem to mend. Now, fate has thrown us back together in his hometown, and every look, every touch, every word reminds me why I fell for him in the first place. But wanting him and trusting him are two very different things. I don’t know if we can fix what we broke. But even after everything, I still feel that spark—the one that’s always burned for him. Maybe love isn’t easy. Maybe it’s just the one thing worth fighting for.

Conjuring Bearden

Autor: Romare Bearden , Richard J. Powell

Número de Páginas: 100

Conjuring Bearden, a richly illustrated exhibition catalog, explores the theme of the "conjur woman" in the work of artist Romare Bearden (1911-1988). Throughout his career, Bearden represented the female figure of the conjurer, or her Caribbean equivalent, the Obeah woman, in his art. Enthralled by her spirituality and power to transform, Bearden depicted the Obeah in his collage, photomontage, and watercolors. Although much has been written about Bearden, this is the first book to critically address his obsessive and creative relationship with this figure of the black vernacular. One of Bearden's most striking methods for introducing the figure of the conjur woman in his art was by distilling Cubist and Dadaist fracture through the deconstructive aesthetics of jazz compositions and African American folk collage and assemblage. With arresting color, Bearden's conjurers were neither eroticized nor made passive. Essays look at Bearden's thematic presentation of African American spirituality in relation to his experiments with form and technique. They trace his visual musings on African, Caribbean, and African American expressive mysticism and examine his magical reinvention of...
