The Correspondence of William Carlos Williams and Louis Zukofsky

The Correspondence of William Carlos Williams and Louis Zukofsky

Louis Zukofsky; William Carlos Williams

Wesleyan University Press
2004
sidottu
Renowned poet William Carlos Williams and literary innovator Louis Zukofsky maintained a relationship through correspondence as both collaborators and friends between 1928 and 1963. Their letters have remained largely unpublished until now. Edited by Barry Ahearn, The Correspondence of William Carlos Williams and Louis Zukofsky chronicles the professional and personal relationship between Williams and Zukofsky as they present one another with criticism, suggestions and confidences that are at turns touching and astonishingly candid. In addition to delving into the creative processes of the two men, this exciting and extensive collection provides insight into such literary icons as Ezra Pound, E.E. Cummings, T.S. Eliot and Conrad Aiken. The analytical voice of Zukofsky and the experimental style of Williams radiate in these letters, creating a vivid and invaluable document of American literature.

Louis Horst

Janet Mansfield Soares

Duke University Press
1992

From his musical beginnings as a piano player in gambling houses and society cafés, Louis Horst (1884-1964) became one of the chief architects of modern dance in the twentieth century. How a musician untrained in dance came to make such a mark is told here for the first time in rich detail. At the center of this story is Horst's relationship with Martha Graham, who was his intimate for decades. "I did everything for Martha," Horst said late in life. Indeed, as her lover, ally, and lifelong confidante, he worked with such conviction to make her the undisputed dance leader in the concert world that Graham herself would later remark: "Without him I could not have achieved anything I have done." Drawing on the conversation and writings of Horst and his colleagues, Janet Mansfield Soares reveals the inner workings of this passionate commitment and places it firmly in the context of dance history. Horst emerges from these pages as a man of extraordinary personality and multifaceted talent: a composer whose dance scores, such as the one for Graham's Primitive Mysteries, became models for many who followed; a concert pianist for American dancers such as Doris Humphrey and Helen Tamiris, as well as their German counterparts; an editor and writer whose advocacy for American dance made him a leading critic of his time; and, above all, a teacher and mentor whose work at the Neighborhood Playhouse, the Bennington School of Dance, American Dance Festival, and Juilliard helped shape generations of dancers and choreographers. Richly illustrated, sensitive to intimate detail and historical nuance, this comprehensive biography reveals the raison d'etre underlying Horst's theories and practices, offering a wealth of insight into the development of dance as an art form under his virtually unchallenged rule.

Louis Ginzberg

Eli Ginzberg

Jewish Publication Society
1996
pokkari
First published in 1966, this book is an unusual biography. It is written by a son about his father, by an interpreter of economics about an interpreter of rabbinics. It is done with obvious charm, with deep affection for the subject, and yet with surprising objectivity. There could not have been many students of Jewish law and legend of the era who did not at one time or another seek guidance from Louis Ginzberg - the remarkable man whose knowledge was vast and whose memory was phenomenal. In a sense, this book is the biography of a man who helped lay the foundations for an American Jewish culture.

Louis Vuitton / Marc Jacobs

Louis Vuitton / Marc Jacobs

Rizzoli International Publications
2012
sidottu
This fascinating publication presents the roles two men have played in turning a small workshop in nineteenth-century Paris into one of the most successful and recognized brands in the world. Known for both craftsmanship and must-have high design, Louis Vuitton the luxury house was started by its eponymous founder in 1854. The first half of this publication traces the innovations by Vuitton, who turned the little-known guild profession of emballeur (packer) into the foremost luxury trunk maker in Paris, with a clientele that included in his lifetime the French nobility as well as the elite of a prosperous empire. Prime and never-before-seen examples of Vuitton’s craftsmanship, along with the fashion that went into them, are the highlights of these chapters. The second half of the book examines the role of Marc Jacobs as Louis Vuitton’s creative director (since 1997), who took the Louis Vuitton house into a new era with a series of collaborations with artists and designers—such as Takashi Murakami, Richard Prince, and Stephen Sprouse—as well as designing a line of highly successful and desired clothing for the company.By examining two divergent but often similar careers one hundred years apart, Louis Vuitton / Marc Jacobs is not only a layered study of the evolution of a luxury brand in the past 150 years but also a celebration of technical and design innovations in the new century.

Louis Vuitton City Bags: A Natural History

Louis Vuitton City Bags: A Natural History

Jean-Claude Kaufmann; Ian Luna; Florence Müller; Mariko Nishitani; Colombe Pringle

Rizzoli International Publications
2013
sidottu
This volume is an unprecedented history of Louis Vuitton’s women’s bags, the most coveted line of accessories in women’s fashion. At the heart of Louis Vuitton are its City Bags, a range of women’s bags that dates back to the turn of the twentieth century. Featuring the trademark monograms of the house, the City Bag story began with the Steamer, a resort bag designed in 1901 to be packed inside a much larger steamer trunk. These bags have in a hundred years formally diversified into a dizzying array of handbags for every conceivable function demanded by the modern woman. Profoundly influential, City Bags are now known to millions by their descriptive names (Keepall, Bucket, Papillon, Alma, Locket, Noe, Speedy) and are still evolving into more fantastical forms. Lavishly illustrated with new and archival photography, historical graphics, landmark editorials, and ad campaigns, the volume traces the history of these specific bag families, and examines the earliest specimens and today’s most sought-after collectibles, including Vuitton’s collaborations with Takashi Murakami, Stephen Sprouse, Richard Prince, Yayoi Kusama, and Rei Kawakubo and one-off projects by Zaha Hadid, Shigeru Ban, Vivienne Westwood, Helmut Lang, Andrée Putman, and of course, Marc Jacobs. Louis Vuitton: City Bags is an ambitious volume on the creation and cultivation of a cultural phenomenon.

With a legacy spanning over 170 years, Louis Vuitton's handbags remain the most successful line of fashion accessories in history. This photographic tribute features City Bags of the last 30 years, which became immeasurably popular under designers Marc Jacobs, Nicolas Ghesqui re, Kim Jones, Virgil Abloh and Pharrell. This book promises to be a one-of-a-kind and sumptuous celebration of the design, visual impact and enduring appeal of these objects of desire. At the heart of Louis Vuitton are its City Bags, a range of handbags that date back to the turn of the twentieth century. Featuring the trademark monograms of the house, the City Bag story began with the Steamer, a resort bag designed in 1901 to be packed inside a much larger trunk. These bags have formally diversified into a dizzying array of handbags for every conceivable function demanded by the modern woman (and man). Profoundly influential, City Bags are now known to millions by their descriptive names (Keepall, Bucket, Papillon, Alma, Locket, No , Speedy) and are still evolving into more fantastical forms. Louis Vuitton's ready-to-wear collections, debuting in 1997 under Marc Jacobs, have become the principal creative engine for this proliferation of bag types. Now in its third decade, and hand-in-hand with a highly-visible program of artistic patronage that saw Stephen Sprouse, Takashi Murakami, Yayoi Kusama, Richard Prince, Jeff Koons and many others collaborate on the design of handbags, the images taken of these objects--by some of the most important fashion photographers working today have become icons in their own right. With the handbags often front-and-center, the editorial photography collected here is drawn from some of the most important magazines and periodicals (and quite a few campaigns). Taken by industry giants such as Juergen Teller, Annie Leibovitz, Mert Alas & Marcus Pigott, Steven Meisel, Kourtney Roy, Collier Schorr, Jean Larivi re and many others, this curated archive of images testify to the unique, persuasive power of the photographic image, and its continuing role in the storytelling (and mythmaking) of Louis Vuitton. Taking after Rizzoli's very successful Louis Vuitton City Bags: A Natural History, the book also serves as an indispensable "field guide" to all the iconic bags of the brand.

Published on the occasion of a major exhibition at Nakanoshima Museum of Art in Osaka, Japan, this volume explores the deep and transformative relationship between Louis Vuitton and Japan, which has produced myriad innovative collaborations that have defined the brand and revolutionized contemporary fashion. This fresh perspective on the global impact of the luxury powerhouse follows Louis Vuitton s journey from pioneering trunk innovations to its outsize influence on global street style, especially in Japan. In the volume, the Maison s history comes to life, from the evolution of its Monogram logo (which took inspiration, in part, from Japanese design) to the ingenious flat stackable trunk and patented lock innovations, alongside the brand s bold expansion into Japan. The authors consider the house s groundbreaking artistic collaborations most notably with artists Takashi Murakami (with his iconic Monogramouflage ) and Yayoi Kusama (with her signature polka-dot motifs) which transformed Louis Vuitton s visual identity. Beyond expertly tracing the Maison s engagement with Japanese culture almost from the moment of its founding, the book explores Louis Vuitton s broader impact on global fashion. It highlights landmark collections by artistic directors who have continually looked toward Japan for inspiration including Pharrell, Nicolas Ghesquiere, Kim Jones, Virgil Abloh, and Marc Jacobs. With contributions from leading experts in fashion, and art and cultural history, this comprehensive volume printed in five colors and bound in a three-piece cover with a printed cloth spine illustrates how Louis Vuitton s engagement with Japanese culture for more than a century has enriched its legacy and expanded the boundaries of luxury fashion.

Louis XIV's Army

Louis XIV's Army

René Chartrand

Osprey Publishing
1988
nidottu
A concise, illustrated study of the army of late seventeenth and early 18th century France.Louis XIV's army was in many ways the first modern army. After assuming power in 1661, Louis abolished the post of Colonel Général of Infantry so he could exercise direct control over the armed forces in his realm. The king demanded order, discipline and absolute loyalty from his army, and he introduced a military draft in 1688 - the first step towards what we know as conscription in modern armies. This book chronicles the development of Louis XIV's army during his 54-year reign, including the units, uniforms and weapons of the elite Maison du Roi. Numerous illustrations including detailed colour figure artwork portray the uniforms, colours and standards of his troops in vivid detail.

Letters of Louis D. Brandeis

Letters of Louis D. Brandeis

Louis D. Brandeis

State University of New York Press
1972
sidottu
The letters in this volume record an important transition in Brandeis's life. In July 1907, when the letters begin, Louis D. Brandeis was merely an unusually successful local reformer. His earlier victories against the Boston Elevated and the Boston Consolidated Gas Company, even his stunning success in the achievement of the Savings Bank Life Insurance law in Massachusetts, all centered exclusively upon Boston or Massachusetts problems. But by December 1912, when this book ends, Brandeis was one of the best known social activists in the United States.He received regular national attention in popular periodicals and advised the newly elected President of the United States. As these letters show, Brandeis always kept one eye on Massachusetts affairs-supervising the inauguration of the insurance reform, continuing to oppose long-term franchises for the subway, and advising Massachusetts governors on proposed bills and prospective appointments. But he devoted the major part of his energy in this five-and-a-half-year period to a series of crusades of crucial national importance.He attacked the attempt of Mellen and Morgan to gain a monopoly hold over new England transportation as he strenuously and doggedly opposed the merger of the Boston & Maine with the New Haven railroad. He entered, in a leading role, the most celebrated conservation battle of his generation, the Pinchot-Ballinger controversy, and he emerged as a major spokesman for the preservation and orderly development of natural resources. He helped to hammer together an arbitration mechanism to maintain industrial peace within the New York garment trades, a mechanism he believed would have broad implications for the future of industrial democracy in America. He battled the demands of the railroads for increased rates; he joined the crusade for efficiency and scientific management; and he directed repeated blows against the huge concentrations of economic power within the national economy.It should not be surprising that Brandeis and Robert M. LaFollette were drawn together, and these letters will show both the extent of that relationship and the way in which Brandeis's influence spread to other progressives in Congress. Other matters-his earliest Zionist activities, his achievement in defending progressive state legislation before the Supreme Court, his interest in Alaskan development along conservationist lines, his plan for the regularity of employment, his role in the Presidential campaign of 1912-are all part of his work during these turbulent years and are all touched upon in greater or lesser detail in these letters.

Louis Comfort Tiffany

Louis Comfort Tiffany

Nonie Gadsden

Museum of Fine Arts,Boston
2018
nidottu
A stunning stained glass window becomes a lens through which to view the career of Louis Comfort Tiffany and intersecting arcs of art and design in America. The story of the Parakeets stained glass window – from national and international recognition to years of obscurity, followed by a return to the limelight – parallels the public reception of the art of its maker, Louis Comfort Tiffany, who had one of the most recognized names in American art at the turn of the twentieth century. It is a story of artistic ambition and experimentation, of nationalist pride and promotion, and of the capricious nature of public opinion and the art market. A careful study of the fabrication, imagery, and life of the window offers an intimate look into the legacy of Tiffany, as well as the nineteenth-century revival of the lesser-known medium of stained glass, which some argue was the United States’ first major contribution to the international art world.

This is a biographical study to discover where and how the poetry intersects the poet’s life. That is, whatever in the poetry is biographical is extracted, and that detail, which had been translated to the level of poetry, is then interpreted so that the same piece can be fitted into a jigsaw puzzle that will finally give us the portrait of Louis Dudek as man and artist.
