Book excerpt: Zain John Michaels was no ordinary kid or adult. As a stillborn, the universe endowed him with the gift, spirit, and artistry of Picasso. Growing up in the big city with a job as a paperboy in his family’s newspaper delivery business, he and his favorite client, Mrs. Baugh, quickly became the best of friends. Unaware that Mrs. Baugh was a wealthy widow who was close to the last days of her life, she willed Zain a large sum of money to help him in his quest to feed the hungry, shelter the homeless, own the nicest jazz radio station, and become the world’s best pool player. Being in a good close-knit family, learning the game of pool from his father John, scrutinizing the paintings of Picasso through a magnifying glass—along with self-motivation, focus, determination, and the study of geometry and physics—Zain’s journey through life to fulfill his passions came to a pause. Losing loved ones deeply depressed him, causing him to face away from the world. The loving-kindness of his family, Winston—a true childhood friend—and a heaven sent new love in the beauty of Summer Rain, reignited his passion and spirit to continue his quest with ultimate focus, training, practice, and determination to become the master of the pool game as he was preparing for something in the end that he was not aware of—save his mother, humanity, and the game of pool from the vicious kingpin of the game’s underworld. From being called Stick, Cue, Nighze, and sometimes Picasso B, Zain John showed the world he was more than just the best artist of the game of pool. He was a loving, caring, kind, giving person with style, class, finesse, and the gift of a personality and infectious attitude that became admired across the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first critical examination of Pablo Picasso's use of religious imagery and the religious import of many of his works with secular subject matter. Though Picasso was an avowed atheist, his work employs spiritual themesÑand, often, traditional religious iconography. In five engagingly written, accessible chapters, Jane Daggett Dillenberger and John Handley address Picasso's cryptic 1930 painting of the Crucifixion; the artist's early life in the Catholic church; elements of transcendence in Guernica; Picasso's later, fraught relationship with the church, which commissioned him in the 1950s to paint murals for the Temple of Peace chapel in France; and the centrality of religious themes and imagery in bullfighting, the subject of countless Picasso drawings and paintings.

Book excerpt: San Francisco’s art world is exhibiting murderous tendencies… Geez, make a splash in the world of art forgery at the age of seventeen and people can’t stop bringing it up. Lesson learned: genuine art is priceless, and forgery gets you arrested. Now Annie puts her artistic talents to honest use as a faux finisher in San Francisco. But carving out a new reputation can be a creative challenge… Modernism isn’t Annie’s thing, but even she is surprised to discover that the “sculpture” in a prestigious gallery’s grisly new exhibition is an all-too-real corpse—the artist’s. Meanwhile, a Chagall painting is stolen from the Brock Museum, and Annie’s old friend Bryan is accused of being in on the fix. To track down the missing Chagall, she’ll need the dubious assistance of a certain sexy art thief. And if Michael—or whatever his real name may be—isn’t distraction enough, Annie’s mother shows up in town, acting strangely. Annie’s got to solve these mysteries, and fast—because art is long, but life can be very, very short.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, he comments on the many aspects of his world-traveling career: his growing up in Oregon (he is not an Englishman, as most Europeans and many Americans think), his early involvement with documentary films that first brought attention to him, his discovery of India, his friendships with celebrated figures here and abroad, his skirmishes with the Picasso family and Thomas Jefferson scholars, his usually candid yet at times explosive relations with actors. Supported by seventy illuminating photographs selected by Ivory himself, the book offers a wealth of previously unavailable information about the director's life and the art of making movies."--Jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The third volume of Richardson’s magisterial Life of Picasso, a groundbreaking contribution to our understanding of one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century. Here is Picasso at the height of his powers in Rome and Naples, producing the sets and costumes with Cocteau for Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes, and visiting Pompei where the antique statuary fuel his obsession with classicism; in Paris, creating some of his most important sculpture and painting as part of a group that included Braque, Apollinaire, Miró, and Breton; spending summers in the South of France in the company of Gerald and Sara Murphy, Hemingway, and Fitzgerald. These are the years of his marriage to the Russian ballerina Olga Khokhlova—the mother of his only legitimate child, Paulo—and of his passionate affair with Marie-Thérèse Walter, who was, as well, his model and muse.

Download or read book A Picasso Bestiary written by Neil Cox and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 1995-02-28 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pablo Picasso was fascinated by animals and from his earliest years they played an important role in both his life and his work. Many of his most intriguing and stimulating creations represent beasts in all manner of guises, both serious and playful. A Picasso Bestiary is published to coincide with an exhibition held at Croydon in 1995, and like the show, it gathers together a thought-provoking selection of Picasso's animal works, grouped by subject: The Bull, The Horse and the Donkey, Birds, Cats and Dogs, Goats and Sheep, Watery Creatures, Insects, Monkeys and Monsters. This format was suggested by the structure of the mediaeval bestiary: a luxurious 'Book of Beasts' which described the wonders of the animal kingdom and explained their moral and spiritual significance. The stories the bestiary tells are based on fact and fancy, hearsay and precedence, and a comparable method has been adopted in this book: the weaving of tales around Picasso's animals and relating them to earlier themes and models in Western European art. Like many artists before him, Picasso recognised the way in which the visual representation of animals could invoke a whole range of reflections about life and death, food and sex and, importantly, his own creativity. This book therefore comprises two narratives, the one dealing with a tradition of animal representation, the other with Picasso. Their juxtaposition, together with a wealth of visual material, allows exciting patterns to emerge which demonstrate both how consistently certain long-established themes continue into Picasso's art, and how wilfully others are abandoned in favour of his own personal vision.

Book excerpt: It is 1998. Madame Claudel is on one of her customary rambles around the Marché aux Puces in Paris, the source of many of her findings. Suddenly, a painting grabs her attention, and she is immediately drawn to it. After a few years and many adventures, the antiquarian discovers that the painting she bought for a few francs is the lost piece from Picasso’s first exhibit in Paris, in 1901. The investigation to gather enough proof to obtain the official certification starts. She arrives to the conclusion that Pablo Picasso had painted this picture in the midst of a whirlwind of feelings, after the most awful tragedy of his youth: his best friend, who had fallen in love with him, died in the worst of circumstances. This narrative, based on real facts, presents two stories separated in time: that of the historical events in Paris, Barcelona and Malaga which led to the creation of the painting, and that of the actual investigation by an expert, both equally real. The stories alternate as the historical facts corroborate the discoveries of the investigation.

Book excerpt: “A pitch-perfect adventure, filled with nuance and dire exploits. Take a breath, hang on, and enjoy the ride with this smart and clever heroine.” —Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author Fans of J.T. Ellison and Julie Clark will be riveted by this exhilaratingly sharp thriller from a New York Times bestselling author and former spy. This taut, action-packed thriller introduces unforgettable heroine Helen Warwick, a highly skilled CIA assassin trying to navigate retirement, settle into a normal life, and reconnect with her family . . . in the midst of mortal combat. Retirement isn’t easy for a former CIA assassin. For fifty-five-year-old Helen Warwick, it may be impossible. Even Helen’s family doesn’t know the true nature of the work she’s done for decades—the secret black ops, the sanctioned executions. But her plan to spend time reconnecting with her grown children has just been blown up—along with her son’s house—by hired killers. Why is she being targeted now—and by whom? Years of eliminating the nation’s enemies one sniper bullet at a time have earned Helen powerful adversaries. Then there are mysterious new foes, including a psychopath dubbed The DaVinci Killer, who wages a twisted war with a rival serial killer to turn murder into art. And when he sets his sights on Helen, she may very well become his next exhibit. From homegrown spies to Russian mafia hitmen, Helen’s ghosts don’t just haunt—they kill. And staying alive long enough to make up for the past, and protect those closest to her, will take every ounce of skill she possesses . . .

Download or read book Henri-Georges Clouzot written by Christopher Lloyd and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2013-07-19 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite his controversial reputation and international notoriety as a film-maker, no full-length study of Clouzot has ever been published in English. This book offers a significant revaluation of Clouzot’s achievement, situating his career in the wider context of French cinema and society, and providing detailed and clear analysis of his major films (Le Corbeau, Quai des Orfèvres, Le Salaire de la peur, Les Diaboliques, Le Mystère Picasso). Clouzot’s films combine meticulous technical control with sardonic social commentary and the ability to engage and entertain a broad public. Although his films are characterised by an all-controlling perfectionism, allied to documentary veracity and a disturbing bleakness of vision, Clouzot is well aware that his is an art of illusion. His fondness for anatomising social pretence, the deception, violence and cruelty practised by individuals and institutions, drew him repeatedly to the thriller as a convenient and compelling model for plots and characters, but his source texts and the usual conventions of the genre receive distinctly unconventional treatment.
