Raised in the restrictive regimes of 1960s Argentina, Alan Faena came of age when the country opened up to the West and Alan transformed himself into the icon of this new spirit, first as the founder of a popular Argentine fashion company, then as the hotelier of the highly sought-after FAENA hotels, in Buenos Aires and Miami. In each of the two cities Alan Faena did not simply build a hotel, but a whole universe of luxury design by working with the best talents of the day: Philippe Starck, Rem Koolhaas, Norman Foster, Damian Hirst, and the film director Baz Luhrmann, among others. The results are immersive dream places, full of colour, life, and high design. In this revealing memoir, profusely illustrated with images of the hotels and Alan s private homes and retreats as well as his famous and beautiful friends, Alan Faena details how his ambition to create beauty was realized with gorgeous interiors and restaurants, lavish gardens and pools, and the very best that can be dreamt of.

Allan D'Arcangelo

RIZZOLI INTERNATIONAL PUBLICATIONS

Recognized as a major Pop artist in his day, Allan D’Arcangelo (1930–1998) has yet to receive the critical reevaluation of painters like Roy Lichtenstein and James Rosenquist. His first monograph in nearly a decade introduces new audiences to his iconic paintings, particularly his celebrated visions of life on the road.Like Pop peers Andy Warhol and Ed Ruscha, Allan D’Arcangelo incorporated mass-manufactured images in works that elevate scenes of everyday American life. While his work often features imagery from more familiar 1960s art—Jacqueline Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe, smoking pin-up girls, Superman, Lucky Strike—it differs in the surreal elements he introduced to Pop tropes and romantic views of the American industrial landscape.D’Arcangelo once observed his “most profound experiences of landscape were looking through the windshield.” The artist brought a Pop sensibility to the tradition of landscape painting in a graphic style that touched on Minimalism, Precisionism, and Hard-edge painting. Often framed from the perspective of the driver’s seat, D’Arcangelo’s work captures the deeply American experience of flying down an endless road. D’Arcangelo’s signature scrolling landscape cut through with flashing signs is as familiar to road trippers as it is to video game racers.This comprehensive publication includes over 200 reproductions and three essays detailing what critic Dore Ashton describes as the “poetic awareness of the vastnesses both visible and invisible in American life [that] marked and distinguished [D’Arcangelo’s] work.” This book is edge stained.

The Uncollected Stories of Allan Gurganus

The Uncollected Stories of Allan Gurganus

Allan Gurganus

Liveright Publishing Corporation
2021
sidottu
Since the explosive publication of Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All, Allan Gurganus has dazzled readers as "the most technically gifted and morally responsive writer of his generation" (John Cheever). He has been praised as "one of America's preeminent novelists, our prime conductor of electric sentences" (William Giraldi). Above all, Allan Gurganus is a seriously funny writer, an expert at evoking humor, especially in our troubled times.Now he offers nine classic tales--never before between covers. They attest to his mastery of the short story and the growing depth of his genius. Offering characters antic and tragic, Gurganus charts the human condition--masked and unmasked--as we live it now. "Once upon a time" collides with the everyday. We meet a mortician whose dedication to his departed clients exceeds all legal limits. We encounter a seaside couple fighting to save their family dog from Maine's fierce undertow. A virginal seventy-eight-year-old grammar school librarian has her sole erotic experience with a polyamorous snake farmer. A vicious tornado sends twin boys aloft, leaving only one of them alive. And, in an eerily prescient story, cholera strikes a rural village in 1849 and citizens come to blame their doomed young doctor who saved hundreds.These meticulously crafted parables recall William Faulkner's scope and Flannery O'Connor's corrosive wit. Imbuing each story with charged drama, Gurganus, a sublime ventriloquist, again proves himself among our funniest writers and our wisest.

Pamela Colman Smith's artwork was pumped up with vibrant colors by Frankie Albano. The deck was originally published in 1968 and went out of print just a few years later. There was sufficient demand for this deck so U.S. Games Systems re-issued a facsimile deck from the original in 1991 and it has remained a staple for tarot collectors since. The colors are bright with lots of purples and greens, which help readers focus on details they might have otherwise missed. The background of the Minor Arcana are color-coded. The Cups feature light blue-green, the Wands are orange, the Pentacles lime green, and the Swords yellow. This is a vivid deck that appeals to those nostalgic for the psychedelic sixties or who appreciate the "wow" factor.

Plays By Allan Havis

Plays By Allan Havis

Allan Havis

Broadway Play Publishing
1997
pokkari
"Allan Havis is one of the most gifted of our younger playwrights. His chief strength seems to me to be the way he shortens the distance between the private and the political. Quiet, intelligent, lyrical, his plays are that rarest of presences in the American theater: dramas that leave you with something to think about." Richard GilmanThis collection includes three full-length plays: A DARING BRIDE, THE LADIES OF FISHER COVE, and SAINTE SIMONE. A DARING BRIDE: A doomed love story about a United Nations official from Austria who falls for a high class escort working in Manhattan. THE LADIES OF FISHER COVE: Three sisters off the coast of Maine save the life of a mysterious stranger washed ashore. SAINTE SIMONE: Spinning a textured, twin narrative on the theme of possession, SAINTE SIMONE tracks a young New York woman of our era along side the cascading coincidences of Simone Weil from Europe's 1930s. "With THE LADIES OF FISHER COVE], acclaimed playwright Allan Havis has given us a post-AIDS Witches of Eastwick what with three attractive, psychically bonded sisters all seduced by the same half-man, half-devil. This time, though, there's little room for whimsy. These women and every other female in the small Maine town have been quarantined because all the men have died of a horrible plague. In fact, the strange, deformed, smooth-talking visitor is the first male to survive more than a few hours of contact with these women. Havis's moody drama always keeps us guessing, its poetic moments surprisingly potent and its intentions never so obscure as to lost the audience." On Stage"Allan Havis has fashioned a rollicking myth that might function as a rebuke for an errant feminism or as a wish fulfillment fantasy for a third sex. Whatever its purpose, it was great fun, marked by mystery and] wit." J Rudolf Abate, Stages

This monograph, published on the occasion of the Aspen Art Museum exhibition of Alan Shields (1944–2005) in summer 2016, showcases a comprehensive survey of the artist’s expansive practice, which encompassed printmaking, painting, sculpture and installation. Moving easily between these different mediums, Shields, with his deep consideration of material and color, was interested in opening up a broader context of art, creating objects that could be experienced in relation to the movement of the human body. The artworks, essays and interviews in this publication not only examine Shields’ layered pieces, but also illustrate his belief in a direct connection between art and life, revealing a multifaceted practice that merges the sculptural, the painterly and the theatrical.

Allan Ramsay

Allan Ramsay

Sian MacKay

Sancho Press
2024
pokkari
This first biography of the poet Allan Ramsay (1684-1758) takes the form of a historical novel set in the tumultuous world of early eighteenth-century Edinburgh. All the known facts of the Makar's shapeshifting life are here, interwoven with the author's original research and imaginative passages based on her extensive knowledge of the locations he inhabited. Sales of his masterwork, The Gentle Shepherd (1725), enable Ramsay to give up wig making and open a bookshop - and Britain's first subscription library - adjacent to St Giles Cathedral. Not content with this meteoric rise, and influenced by John Gay's The Beggar's Opera, the makar establishes his New Theatre in the High Street. But disaster soon strikes, forcing the poet ingeniously to re-invent himself with the support of family, friends and notables of the day, including the young David Hume; Clerk of Pennycuik; and the Countess of Eglintoun. Then, as now, the thorny subject of Union divides the country, before Prince Charles Edward Stuart's Tartan Army invades Edinburgh in 1745 and attempts to seize the castle from the garden of the Makar's 'country villa', the Guse-pye House on the slopes of Castlehill. There he dies, just before drainage of the Nor' Loch makes way for the construction of Edinburgh's New Town. 'This book is a tremendous achievement - so much research, so much information, but not only that: a seamless interweaving of fact and fiction to create an imagined life for the man which comes leaping out of every page with its authenticity intact.' Elizabeth Adam of Blairadam 'The author vividly evokes the hustle and bustle of eighteenth-century Edinburgh and restores to his rightful place the poet Allan Ramsay, too often eclipsed by his son, the painter of the same name. A great read.'Ray Perman, author of The Rise and Fall of the City of Money

Alba Reborn, Book One, Revised: Transformation of the Soul

Jill Frew

Home Press
2015
nidottu
Alba Reborn is the story of a Celtic girl and boy, Soillse and F rinn, in first century Scotland or Alba, BCE. He is destined to become high king of the Isle of Skye and she a renown healer. Book One is the tale of their growing years: both drawn to the druid, Coillore, and his teachings about the realms of light of the Otherworld. On a hidden path of love, Coillore shows them how ancient fears from their fall from heaven are creating the sufferings in their lives, how to heal these, and achieve their highest dreams. Every reader can do the same. Contained in Coillore's lessons are the planes of the cosmic Diamond Core, the seventh heaven and its consciousness of enlightenment. The regents of the Celtic pantheon and the hidden streams of Celtic cosmology are explained in rich detail, the result of thirty years of painstaking meditation and research by the author. This book is a call to the people of Alba to raise the standard of love and renew their ancient spiritual traditions. But it is equally a call to all people on earth to move through the transformation process illustrated in the lives of Soillse and F rinn, to heal all inner fear, and thus create heaven on earth.
