En los tiempos que corren Willy DeVille es de una especie en extinción; la del intérprete de rock''n''roll (si entendemos como tal tanto a Billie Holiday o a Edith Piaff como a Ben E. King). Alguien que se supo diferente y quiso y pudo construirse un mundo a su antojo, a base de musica pasional, directa y callejera. Desde la efervescencia de la new wave y el punk del Nueva York de los ultimos setenta, con un jukebox en la garganta y una actitud que revelaba la autentica aristocracia -la del asfalto- hasta el descubrimiento de que habia en el sotano de Nueva Orleans: cielo e infierno pero nunca limbo. Paseos por tu vecindario con musica saliendo de todas las ventanas abiertas: salsa, blues, rock, soul... Un guante en la voz, una iglesia vacia en el corazon. ¡El Rey Pachuco pide paso!

Un viaje por la obra y el personaje del director de cine William Wyler.

El director William Wyler era odiado por muchos de sus exhaustos actores -y también por los ejecutivos preocupados por el presupuesto- a causa de sus meticulosos métodos de trabajo, que le valieron el sobrenombre de "noventa tomas Wyler". Sin embargo, muchos de los actores que se quejaban de su tirania en el plato tuvieron despues que darle las gracias por los catorce Oscar que ganaron interpretando sus films. El mismo recibio tres premios de la Academia sobre una cifra record de doce nominaciones, y tambien ayudo a los jefes de los estudios a colocar sobre sus chimeneas unos cuantos Oscar a la Mejor Pelicula. Durante su larga y fructifera asociacion con el productor independiente Samuel Goldwyn, Wyler se convirtio en un director de proyectos de prestigio, a menudo adaptando obras de teatro de los dramaturgos mas importantes de su epoca. En un esfuerzo por mantenerse fiel a las piezas que filmaba, fue pionero en el uso del enfoque en profundidad, lo que le permitia llenar sus fotogramas de vida. El impacto emocional era el nombre del juego de Wyler, y su mas efectiva colaboradora fue Bette Davis, memorable en Jezabel, La carta y La loba. Wyler consiguio formidables logros en generos dispares, culminando con la multioscarizada Ben-Hur, tras la cual su carrera finalmente inicio su declive. La reputacion del cineasta decayo en los años sesenta como resultado de lo que algunos criticos vieron como una "actitud erratica en la eleccion de temas y una creciente tendencia a la pomposidad y la pretenciosidad". Sea cierto o no, muy pocos directores en la historia de Hollywood han hecho tantas peliculas tan enormemente respetadas, llenas de decisivos momentos emocionales y de interpretaciones marcadas a fuego.

En 1874, se realizó la primera exhibición de un grupo de pintores en el Estudio de Nadar en Paris, que pronto serían conocidos como los Impresionistas.

Ese nuevo concepto de color es el primer eslabon de una historia de arte moderno; sin el, su rumbo no hubiera sido el mismo. Esta coleccion recoge no solo a los principales protagonistas del movimiento, sino tambien su huella en otros grandes pintores de los siglos XIX y XX. Edicion de tapa dura.

About this title: William Spratling revolutionized silver jewellery design in Mexico. Arriving in Taxco in 1929, by 1940 he had over 100 silversmiths producing his enormously popular silver creations. Important figures of the North American literary and art establishment, among them John dos Passos, William Faulkner and Georgia O''Keeffe, purchased his designs and sang his praises. Out of Spratling''s workshop emerged many of Mexico''s finest silver designers, including Hector Aguilar, Antonio Castillo and his brothers Jorge and Justo, Salvador Teran and Antonio Pineda. Their stiking jewellery and hollow-ware in silver - often set with precious stones and pre-Columbian artefacts - are prized collectibles.

In his time, William Pereira was the epitome of the public image of an architect: a rugged individualist as well as a generalist who defined rather than mimicked emerging social values. He designed every building type imaginable, from houses to hospitals, as well as inventing some of his own, such as the Television Studios for CBS in Los Angeles. For the expansion of Los Angeles International Airport he convinced the authorities to adapt the facility to jet planes before jet travel was commonplace. he was a visionary whose wide-ranging interests and pragmatism surfaced at a time when a growing nation most needed those qualities.A long-overdue tribute to William Pereira s talent and influence, this book features in-depth, behind-the-scenes views of his best-known projects, captured in the stunning photography of Julius Shulman and Wayne Thom. Features on CBS, The USC master plan, UC Irvine, The Doha master plan, the Transamerica Tower in San Francisco, and the Los Angeles International Airport characterize the spectacular scope of his career. This first complete chronology of his work is a telling record of his vast achievements.

A passionate advocate of craftsmanship over mass-production, William Morris (1834 1896) designed a huge variety of objects, but it is his highly original carpet, fabric and wallpaper patterns that have continued to capture the imagination and exert their influence on the decorative arts.

It also explores examples of the sources that inspired Morriss flower-based designs: his own gardens at the Red House in Kent, Kelmscott Manor in Oxfordshire and elsewhere; 16th- and 17th-century herbals; illuminated medieval manuscripts; late medieval and Renaissance tapestries; and a range of decorated objects, particularly from the Islamic world, that Morris studied at the South Kensington Museum (now the V&A). Authored by Rowan Bain, curator at the William Morris Gallery in Walthamstow,
