GHOST was one of the last kings of the New York City train writing era. He experimented with traditional letter styles until developing his own loose, funky and psychedelic letters that sprouted from his twisted drug seeped brain and his passion for bombing. When most writers see a train yard as an opportunity to paint a nice colorful piece, Ghost sees the yard as a place to bomb, to do hundreds of throw ups. He approaches his paintings with the same zest and casual grace as he does his throw-ups, with bold dripping explosions of vibrant colors and freaky cartoons. With frequent trips to Europe his style has inspired the new wave of Scandinavian-loose-bombing-style pieces. Today, he exhibits his artwork in galleries worldwide and does collaborations with urban culture brands. Despite this Ghost remains an enigma, he isnt social, and he does not want to be your friend. But his artwork like his bombing is something fantastic that deserves attention, for this he is overdue.

Budapest, awakened in 1989 after its long slumber behind the Iron Curtain, is now one of Europe's hottest destinations. It stands proudly at the center of Eastern Europe's cultural rebirth, and best of all, it still ranks as one of the continent's best bargains. Frommer's Budapest & the Best of Hungary is meticulously updated and revamped every 2 years (more frequently than the competition). Our author, a longtime resident of Budapest, is a professor of Education and co-owner of a B&B on the Pest side of the city — and he loves nothing more than to chat up his guests and give them recommendations for their trip. In this guide, he collects all of his insider tips and points you to the attractions, hotels, and restaurants to suit your tastes and budget, as if you were one of his guests. You can explore the city's highlights on detailed walking tours and learn about the gorgeous architecture of both the city's famous buildings and hidden treasures. And of course, we've got all the details on Budapest's exciting nightlife (and hidden parties), its vibrant arts scene, and its fabulous thermal baths and spas. Frommer's Budapest & the Best of Hungary also covers the Danube Bend, the Lake Balaton Region, Tokaji and the caves of Northeastern Hungary, and Pecs and the Mecsek Hills of Southern Hungary.

Since the early 1990s there has been a great revival in the popularity of interior decoration using historical ornamental forms. The Practical Decorator and ornamentist, published in 1892 by George A. and Maurice A. Audsley, and here republished in a newly prepared edition, was in its day one of the best-known collections of ornamental designs. In contrast to previous new editions of the Audsleys' pattern-books, the present volume does not confine itself to reproducing their designs, but also provides a commentary based on the Audsleys' own explanatory text. Thus the reader is given hints on how to use each design, on its style and on possible colour schemes. An appendix gives detailed practical instruction on how to transfer and execute the designs, allowing interested readers to use them in the decoration of their own homes.

Charlie Chaplin was one of Hollywood's most pivotal stars. He lived an interesting life both in his films and behind the camera. He is most recognized as the icon of the silent film era, mostly as 'the little tramp'; the man with the toothbrush moustache, bowler hat, bamboo cane, and a funny walk. He was born in London in 1889 to music hall-performing parents. After his parents split, he and his half brother spent time in and out of charity homes and workhouses between their mother's bouts of insanity. He started acting at 8, and began to tour with a vaudeville troupe that visited America. He never looked back. In 1913 in California, he signed on with Keystone Studios' popular comedy director Mack Sennett. While at Keystone, Chaplin appeared in and directed 35 films, starring as the Little Tramp in nearly all. In November 1914 he left Keystone and signed on at Essanay, where he made 15 films. In 1916, he signed on at Mutual and made 12 films. In June 1917 Chaplin signed up with First National Studios, after which he built Chaplin Studios. In 1919 he and Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford and D.W. Griffith formed United Artists (UA). Chaplin was married four times and had a total of 11 children. He is considered one of the greatest filmmakers in the history of cinema.

Few other bands in the history of pop music have been as successful as The Beatles. In little under a decade, the four young men from Liverpool, who began their career playing small bars and clubs, became more famous than anyone could have predicted. They provided the soundtrack for the Swinging Sixties, wrote and recorded ground-breaking albums, made motion picttures and their photos were pinned to teenage bedroom walls around the world. Their song writing output was so great that they often gave tracks away to other artists and, at the height of their fame, the couldn't hear themselves play on stage because of the screaming of adoring fans. Most importantly, they also changed the way the music industry worked, and inspired many bands who came after them. Featuing intimate photographs, familiar publicity shots and a lively account of their career from the band-s early days to their break-up, this book looks back at the story that is The Beatles. Alongside the year-by-year and album-by-album descriptions, there are also comprehensive guides to their singles and movies, as well as a whole host of surprising facts. Packed with information and stunning photographs, The Beatles is a worthy tribute to one of the greatest bands of all time.

Also included are 5 pieces of cherished memorabilia, with famous photographs, collectable postcards and iconic posters.

A comprehensive, up-to-date collection of the most exciting new graphic-design in the United Kingdom. What design scene is as diverse or cosmopolitan, more rich in influences and references, as packed with new trends and original ideas, as teeming with talent and ambition than the UK? To stand out in this competitive arena, British graphic designers have had to make their work ever more clever and polished, better informed. This fuels the distinctive, refined styles of such artists as Mark Farrow, Sea, Spin, Browns, Fuel, James Joyce, Zak, Studio 8 and Bibliotek. The UK (especially urban hotbeds like London, Manchester and Sheffield) is also a greenhouse for new musical styles and youth trends, and a fertile ground for eccentric visual artists like Non-Format, Ben Drury, The Designers Republic; and of course, also a major financial nucleus for studios like William Paul, BB Saunders and Saturday marking their styles and brands across the world. The main question in compiling a book on the best of new British design is not what to put in, but what to leave out. Stylistic novelty and visual distinctiveness are our key parameters. RGB features artists from highly diverse backgrounds, at all different stages in their careers, from household names to the newest young talents. RGB captures the UKs explosively vibrant and unpredictable realm of graphic design, in over 400 pages packed with exciting visual material.

«The Berggruen Museum houses one of the world's most importan collections of classic Modernist art. The main focus of the collection is the work of Picasso, represented by some ninety pieces, as the culmination of Modernism. In the words of the colledtor Heinz Berggruen, Picasso represents the «great symphony» in twentieth-centruy art. Also in the collection are over fifty works by Paul Klee, the «master of chamber music» and one of Berggruen's first passions. Picasso and Klee are joined by Henri Matisse: nowhere else in Germany is there such a comprehensive and diverse display of his work. The works of Picasso, Klee and Matisse are set among pieces by their great contemporaries Alberto Giacometti, Henri Laurens and Georges Braque, and works of African sculpture. Thus the Berggruen Museum in Berlin-Charlottenburg presents a broad an unique panorama of Picasso and his Time.»

«Книга представляет собой последовательное описание всех дней года. В ней автором А.Ф. Некрыловой, кандидатом искусствоведения, сделана попытка соединить два пласта национальной культуры, воспринимаемые современными людьми как разные, хотя и близкие сферы, — земледельческий календарь и календарь церковный. В традиционном же сознании русского человека это были даже не две стороны одного явления, а единая, гармоничная картина бытия, когда повседневный труд и ритуальная деятельность освещались светом христианской веры. Автор предлагает читателю своеобразную реконструкцию представления крестьянина о каждом дне, где отразились знания священной истории, знакомство с православным месяцесловом, заботы земледельца, его мифоэпическое восприятие. Впервые в таком объеме воспроизводится уникальный материал: календарный фольклор, описание обрядов и обычаев, приметы, различные гадания, былички, песни и прочее. В книге даны святцы, жития известных на Руси святых, празднества наиболее почитаемых икон. Основной текст делится на собственно месяцеслов и раздел о подвижных праздниках, периодах и датах, которые определяются Пасхой. В книгу также вошли статья о традиционном русском календаре, словари устаревших диалектных слов и церковных терминов, список литературы. Публикуются пасхалии на 2006-2026 гг. и таблица «Переходящих празднований Православной Церкви». Издание адресовано самому широкому кругу читателей.»
