Van Heflin

Derek Sculthorpe

McFarland Co Inc
2016
pokkari
A versatile craftsman, actor Van Heflin was never concerned with popularity or comfortable with stardom. Lauded by his peers, Heflin won over moviegoers with his portrayal of resolute homesteader Joe Starrett in George Stevens' classic Shane (1953). He impressed in all genres, convincingly portraying every type of character from heel to hero. Van Heflin first garnered attention as the sensitive, alcoholic friend of gangster Johnny Eager (1941), for which he won an Academy Award, and later gave notable performances in a string of noirs, dramas and westerns. He was memorable as the psychotic cop in Joseph Losey's masterpiece The Prowler (1951) but equally impressive as the doubtful executive in Jean Negulesco's smart satire Woman's World (1954). This first full-length biography of Heflin covers his early life as a sailor and his career on stage and screen, providing detailed commentary on all his films.

Van Gogh And Gauguin

Van Gogh And Gauguin

Bradley Collins

Westview Press Inc
2003
pokkari
Although Vincent van Gogh's and Paul Gauguin's artistic collaboration in the South of France lasted no more than two months, their stormy relationship has continued to fascinate art historians, biographers and psychoanalysts as well as film makers and the general public. Two great 19th century figures with powerful and often clashing sensibilities, they shared a house, worked side by side, drank, caroused and argued passionately about art. Their brief venture together, richly documented in the artists' letters and paintings, would be compelling enough even if it had not culminated in the catastrophe of van Gogh's life - his ear cutting. This traumatic climax to van Gogh's and Gauguin's weeks spent in the "Yellow House" in Arles has raised profound questions about the nature of their relationship and about their behaviour before and after van Gogh's self-mutilation. Van Gogh and Gauguin explores the artists' intertwined lives from a psychoanalytic perspective in order to draw a nuanced and sophisticated picture of the artists' dealings with each other. The book also examines crucial art historical issues such as the aesthetic convictions that both united and divided the two men, and the extent to which they influenced each other's art.

Van Dyke Parks' Song Cycle

Van Dyke Parks' Song Cycle

Richard Henderson

Continuum Publishing Corporation
2010
nidottu
Despite Warner Brothers Records' conviction that it had mid-wifed the American equivalent of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, "Song Cycle" wasn't rock music, and it didn't sell like rock music. The album's arrangements taxed the storage capacity of multi-track tape and its lyrics allowed enquiring minds to follow a Joycean snakes-and-ladders path through multiple meanings, allusive wordplay and puns. "Van Dyke Parks' Song Cycle" is an intelligent take on a classic left-field album. For good and for ill, the full arsenal of bouquets and brickbats available to music writers has been tossed at Van Dyke Parks during his tenure of forty years and more in the music business. The Mississippi native has been hailed as a great American original - Charles Ives in Groucho Marx's pajamas, was Rolling Stone's pull quote - and derided as a charlatan. He was among the first to achieve the questionable status of cult artist; defended by a vocal few, dismissed or ignored by the greater audience. His career arc, and indeed his own life invite parallel consideration with another maverick who made his name in Hollywood, the film director and actor Orson Welles. Both were immediately recognized as child prodigies and took full advantage of the status conferred upon them. Each had the mantle of genius conferred upon them; in both cases, the mantle was worn with increasing difficulty as the years progressed. Both men, perhaps unfairly, have been accused of never bettering their artistic debuts. The compounded triumph and debacle of Welles' Citizen Kane is the stuff of a crammed shelf of film history books. In Van Dyke Parks' case, his calling card and his bete noir both fit within the same cardboard sleeve, the one containing "Song Cycle". The album was released on Warner Brothers Records in 1968. It cost more than any recording made prior to that time (Warners would ultimately recoup its costs sometime in the early 90s). No one can say that the label didn't get its money's worth: "Song Cycle"'s arrangements taxed the storage capacity of multi-track tape and its lyrics allowed enquiring minds to follow a Joycean snakes-and-ladders path through multiple meanings, allusive wordplay and puns. Said lyrics were sung by their author, his piping tenor swathed in a galactic fog of studio effects. The rhythms veered from Broadway to box step, little or none cut from the cloth of psychedelic, blues-based turbulence that dominated the landscape of the late 60s. 'A growing Alexandria of rock criticism' - "Los Angeles Times", 2008. 'Ideal for the rock geek who thinks liner notes just aren't enough' - "Rolling Stone". 'One of the coolest publishing imprints on the planet' - "Bookslut". 'A brilliant series...each one a word of real love" - "NME" (UK).

Van Gogh, Dalí, and Beyond

Van Gogh, Dalí, and Beyond

Friedman Samantha

Museum of Modern Art
2013
sidottu
Published in conjunction with the second major exhibition The Museum of Modern Art is organizing for the Art Gallery of Western Australia, Perth, Van Gogh to Richter: People, Places and Things is an exploration of the myriad innovative ways modern artists have reinvented the traditional genres of portrait, still life and landscape from the 1880s to today. By looking closely at works in a range of media, the catalogue shows how these long-established categories have expanded and transformed from Post-Impressionism to Photorealism, reflecting changes in our conceptions of individuals, objects and spaces. The selection of works range from Frida Kahlo’s confident selfrepresentation to Gerhard Richter’s blurred likeness; from Paul Cézanne’s iconic tabletop arrangements to Jeff Koons’s commodified objects; from Vincent van Gogh’s roiling olive trees to Richard Long’s land art, each demonstrating how modernism’s radical new forms have continuously revitalized art history’s conventional subjects. An introductory text reflects on how these artists both inherit and reject the traditions of their adopted genres, and three essays provide close readings of a key portrait (Henri de Toulouse Lautrec’s La Goulue at the Moulin Rouge), still-life (Paul Cézanne’s Still Life with Ginger Jar, Sugar Bowl and Oranges), and landscape (Van Gogh’s The Olive Trees) from the dawn of modernism, and expand to consider subsequent works.

Van Gogh's Sunflowers

Van Gogh's Sunflowers

Jennifer A. Thompson; Caroline Shields; Tara Contractor

YALE UNIVERSITY PRESS
2026
pokkari
A fresh look at Vincent van Gogh’s iconic Sunflowers paintings, their context, and what they reveal about the artist and his creative process Vincent van Gogh’s (1853–1890) Sunflowers paintings are among the world’s most recognizable works of art. Central to his artistic ambition, these extraordinary still lifes provide insight into Van Gogh’s methods of production, artistic values, and exhibition strategies. Building on the 2019 technical study of the Sunflowers paintings undertaken by the Van Gogh Museum and the National Gallery, London, Van Gogh’s Sunflowers examines his two Sunflowers painting campaigns, places still life painting at the heart of the electric debates between Van Gogh and Paul Gauguin in the Yellow House in Arles in the summer of 1888, and considers how the artist intended the paintings to be displayed. Sumptuous images capturing the boldness and detail of the Sunflowers paintings illustrate three essays by leading curators. From Van Gogh’s insistence on painting from nature to his identification with the sunflower motif to his preferred display and framing strategies, this publication addresses myriad facets of Van Gogh’s artistic practice through the singular lens of his Sunflowers paintings.

Van Gogh: The Roulin Family Portraits

Van Gogh: The Roulin Family Portraits

MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS,BOSTON
2025
nidottu
With vibrant colors and imaginative backgrounds, Van Gogh's affectionate renderings of an entire family underscore his love of portraiture Vincent van Gogh once wrote, "What I’m most passionate about…is the portrait, the modern portrait." This passion flourished between 1888 and ’89 when, during his stay in Arles, in the South of France, the artist created a number of portraits of a neighboring family that had agreed to sit for him. The family included the local postman Joseph Roulin; his wife, Augustine; and their three children, Armand, Camille and Marcelle. Over the course of his year in Arles, the artist created an astonishing 26 painted portraits of the family members, both in groups and individually, as well as multiple drawings. Van Gogh’s tender relationship with the postman and his family and his groundbreaking portrayals of them are at the heart of this book, the first dedicated to the Roulin portraits. Drawing on letters from the artist, archival material, contemporary criticism and technical studies, The Roulin Family Portraits features insightful essays on Van Gogh’s practice, his beliefs about portraiture, his personal relationship with the Roulins and his admiration for his contemporaries as well as 17th-century Dutch portraitists. Vincent van Gogh (1853–90) began his painting career in his late twenties, influenced first by his work as a missionary in a mining region of Belgium, and later by his exposure to Impressionism while living in Paris. His bright signature style emerged after relocating to the South of France, where he produced more than 2,000 artworks in just over a decade.

Van Ginkel Associates

Van Ginkel Associates

Hans Ibelings

Dalhousie Architectural Press
2024
pokkari
A concise introduction to the fascinating life and ideas of the Van Ginkels and their architecture office. Travelling Ideas examines the exceptional work of Van Ginkel Associates, the office of husband and wife Sandy Van Ginkel and Blanche Lemco, whose significance in the development of Canadian architecture and planning can hardly be overestimated. With a multitude of international relations--including Team Ten, Hendrik Wijdeveld, Aldo van Eyck, Sven Markelius, Le Corbusier, and Louis Kahn--they connected the radical new ideas of avant-garde architects in Europe with the Canadian context, where modern architecture and planning were still in their infancy. Based on extensive research in the VGA Archive and interviews with Blanche Lemco and others, this book emphasizes not only built outcomes but also the couple's highly conceptual approach and lateral thinking. This is also a story of traveling ideas: how the Van Ginkels absorbed, developed, and mediated novel concepts and approaches and introduced them to a rapidly evolving, and urbanizing, Canada.

In 1947 and 1948, Van Johnson was MGM's top male box office draw. "On screen he was the Pied Piper; Elizabeth Taylor's lover, he was a war pilot with Spencer Tracy," writes his friend and decorator Carleton Varney in the introduction for Van Johnson's Hollywood: A Family Album. Along the way, his wife, Evie Wynn Johnson, an amateur shutterbug captured behind-the-scenes images of their friends some of Hollywood's most famous stars, such as Gary Cooper, Judy Garland, and Humphrey Bogart on the road, on the set, around the pool, and at their Hollywood home. She put together these casual and candid images in a family album that has never been published before. Their daughter, Schuyler adds her memories to this unique document of Hollywood's Golden Age.

Thousands now live across the street from the park, over, under and next to each other separated by some wood studs and drywall. On their side of the street, the brick and mortar side, life is far more complicated.A mysterious 65 year-old recluse lives in a drywall build-out in a basement but often spends the night sleeping on a blue tarp in a clearing in the park's bushes when the heat in the basement is oppressive. Something in his past makes life unbearable. Several men and women, leading separate lives, facing separate crises, drawn together by fate, attempt to rebuild their future, and this man will change all of their lives forever.

'Zijn gekreun vertelde me dat mijn broer Bill, tussen het gewicht van de tractor en de harde grond, net zijn leven had verloren.' Joseph z'n kindertijd eindigde op die dag. Emigratie had zijn gezin van een kaasboerderij in Nederland naar een gemengde boerderij in Zuid-Ontario gebracht. Joseph verwelkomde het leren van Engels en het aanpassen aan Canadese manieren, terwijl hij de Nederlandse familietradities waardeerde. Uitgedaagd als de jongste van een dozijn, werd Joseph gewond door Bill z'n pijnlijke, maar ook zorgzame, aanraking en door eenzaamheid als jonge tiener in het seminarie. Toen hij met pensioen ging, begon Joseph te genezen met een wandeling dwars door Europa, het genieten van zijn kleinkinderen en het schrijven van deze memoires.

Van Gogh's La Croqueuse du Jardin

Van Gogh's La Croqueuse du Jardin

Shelley R Hamilton

Wow! Press
2017
pokkari
In 2005, Rose Forcir unearths a cache of well-preserved letters written by her grandmother over one hundred years earlier. These letters resurrect a lingering suspicion of Rose's. Was her grandmother the friend, muse, and lover of Vincent van Gogh? Was the painting La Croqueuse du Jardin, which still graces the dining room wall of the family home, painted by this genius? In the spring of 1889, Emma du Jardin collapses after the sudden death of her baby, and her husband removes her from their comfortable home in Paris to the asylum of St. Paul de Mausole in far away Provence. During the months of her confinement, Emma writes frequently to her dear sister, Dominique, recalling her formerly happy life in Paris, wondering about the opening of the Exposition Universelle featuring the new Tour d'Eiffel, chronicling the lushness of Provence in the spring, and the describing the treatments for mental illness practiced at the time. Emma's letters further recount her struggle to regain her emotional balance, her attempts to puzzle out her husband's seeming indifference, and her life with the eccentric asylum residents. Most intriguingly, in bold, sensuous strokes Emma reveals the developing relationship between a fellow resident and painter named Vincent and herself. Her affair with the mysterious Vincent helps Emma gain the insight and courage she needs to pursue a new way of life upon leaving the asylum.
