FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- 304 pages; 440 illustrations. -- with a bonus offer--; Studies in Medallic Art; American Art Medals 1909-1995 is the first comprehensive study of the two most important series of art medals produced in the United States: the medals of the Circle of Friends of the Medallion 1909-1915 and those of the Society of Medalists 1930-1995. Together these two series offer an unmatched panorama of American medallic sculpture in the twentieth century. Founded by the art writer Charles de Kay and the collector Robert Hewitt Jr. the Circle of Friends of the Medallion issued only twelve medals in its brief existence. Occurring however at a time when the Beaux-Arts movement had brought medallic art to a higher prominence among sculptors than it has enjoyed before or since the series is of great significance for the development of the American art medal. The Society of Medalists during its life of sixty-six years produced a much more extensive series: 128 regular issues one of which includes six separate pieces as well as four special issues designed for the Society and one other special issue of an already existing medal. This body of work showcases the development of diverse artistic styles among figurative sculptors of the twentieth century from classicism to modernism. The 123 sculptors whose work was presented in this series include almost every major American medalist of the era as well as several notable artists from other countries. In addition to cataloguing the issues of these two medallic art organizations this book features an innovative effort to record the different colors and patinas in which the medals were issued. Especially for the Society of Medalists whose long history meant that different production batches of a particular medal might have been made several decades apart this hitherto neglected dimension in the study of art medals shows how changes in the surface finish can yield truly startling variations in the visual impact of a design. . 2010. 0897223179 .

Stephen Galatti Director General of the American Field Service and the American Field Service International Scholarships is considered a notable example of a volunteer dedicated to the cause of humanity and improved world understanding. The growth and high reputation of the American Field Service is a direct reflection of his integrity and capacity and wisdom. Stephen Galatti volunteered in the American Field Service in 1915 and was decorated for bravery and outstanding service. It was primarily through his efforts that the American Field Service was held together during the period between the two World Wars and thanks to this that it was ready for the call of France in 1939 and for World War II. Subsequently under Stephen Galatti's leadership the American Field Service made the distinguished record about which you will read in this book. After World War II a meeting was held in New York at which the future of the American Field Service was discussed. It was the desire of those present that the organization should continue under Stephen Galatti's leadership to try to help international relations and in particular to interpret the vast and complex United States of America to our friends. No leader could have done it better. Platen Press - H. Wolff Book Mfg. Co. hardcover

2020ill., ril. "American Utopia" nasce dalla felice collaborazione di due vecchi amici, e vuol essere un antidoto al cinismo, ricolmo di empatia, umanità e speranza, raccontate con le parole e le canzoni di Byrne e oltre le 150 illustrazioni di Maira Kalman. Il testo è ispirato all'omonimo spettacolo di Byrne, andato in scena con enorme successo a Broadway e su cui Spike Lee ha girato un film. Le immagini del libro ripercorrono visivamente la scenografia dello spettacolo, composta di frammenti, movimenti, espressioni, danze. Dall'unione di questi due artisti, un libro sulla forza dei legami umani, che promuove la compassione, la speranza e le arti contro il cinismo. Un monito a cantare ballare e non sprecare neanche un istante.

2022br. Amerigo Verardi è uno dei più affascinanti rompicapi della musica italiana. Negli anni Ottanta, alla guida degli Allison Run, mescola psichedelia e post-punk in una formula fascinosa e immaginifica, nei Novanta con i Lula dispensa caramelle rock, acide e visionarie, e infine all'alba del nuovo millennio perfeziona una formula dal respiro classico, ma allo stesso tempo personale e immediatamente riconoscibile. Ciononostante, rimane lontano dalla notorietà, diventando piuttosto il perfetto eroe di culto: l'artista puro capace di lanciare le carriere di band come i Baustelle o di lavorare con gruppi come i Virginiana Miller, per poi ritornare alle proprie miniature pop, in una nicchia appartata ma accogliente per chiunque voglia approcciarsi alla sua musica. Si dipana così la storia di un'affascinante ricerca musicale, che ha portato questo "ragazzo magico" dalla trasfigurazione onirica della realtà fino alla sua piena accettazione, giungendo alla rinascita artistica e umana degli ultimi lavori, "Hippie dixit" e "Un sogno di Maila". Una ricerca il cui esito finale sembra realizzare la meta che da alcuni anni ossessiona beneficamente Amerigo Verardi: riflettere come uno specchio la bellezza del mondo, affinché la canzone diventi un momentaneo e sfuggente punto di convergenza tra questa e i nostri sensi.

2018brossura Il più amato dei nostri cantautori, artista che ha profondamente inciso nel costume e nella cultura italiana, figura ancora centrale a vent'anni dalla sua scomparsa (11 gennaio 1999) Fabrizio De André ha rispecchiato con i suoi dischi un pezzo di società e di storia del nostro paese, ha raccontato l'avventura umana dei più umili, ha fotografato il nostro tempo, ne ha espresso gli ideali e le sfumature della vita quotidiana con esemplare capacità di sintesi, spirito di denuncia e un'efficacia poetica tale da raccogliere i massimi riconoscimenti pubblici, di mercato, dei colleghi e degli addetti ai lavori. La produzione di De André è disseminata di capolavori, dalle crude ballate degli anni Sessanta fino alle composizioni più audaci e impegnative, come gli album Le nuvole e Anime salve, passando per l'affresco Creuza de ma, indicato tra i più importanti dischi di world music in assoluto. Nell'ampia letteratura che ne abbraccia la storia, "Amico Faber" si inserisce con la scelta originale, e mai proposta prima, di coinvolgere e chiamare a testimonianza centotrenta amici, collaboratori, partner di musica e non solo: figure note o del tutto sconosciute alle cronache che lo hanno accompagnato nella lunga parabola artistica o nei più significativi passaggi della sua esistenza. Il lavoro lascia affiorare aneddoti, rivelazioni, momenti d'intimità che mettono a fuoco il messaggio e definiscono l'uomo: un viaggio che va dalla Genova degli esordi agli ultimi giorni, inseguendo la trama dei ricordi, dei pensieri, delle tracce più autentiche di un artista immenso, colonna sonora di ogni generazione. Con un'intervista autografa, rilasciata all'autore nel 1985. Prefazione di Wim Wenders.
