Christopher Finch, artiste et photographe, s'est récemment lancé dans une série de romans noirs aux accents de mystère. Ces récits, se déroulant à New York à la fin des années 1960 et mettant en scène le détective privé Alex Novalis, s'inspirent de ses expériences personnelles dans le monde de l'art new-yorkais. Finch évoque avec maestria l'atmosphère d'une époque où certains quartiers de la ville étaient une nature sauvage urbaine et où les artistes travaillaient dans des lofts dépouillés. Son écriture offre un mélange captivant de décors évocateurs et de mystère intrigant.
A nostalgic collection of Norman Rockwell's scenes of twentieth century American life includes all of the Saturday Evening Post covers plus paintings, drawings, and graphics from every period of the artist's career--with many foldout pages.

At the outset of his career, Norman Rockwell was not the most likely candidate for long-term celebrity; he was just one of many skillful illustrators working within the conventions of the day. But there was something tenacious about his vision, and somet It seems familiar because it was everyone's dream of America; and it was unique because only Rockwell managed to bring it to life with such authority. This was, perhaps, an America that never existed, but it was an America the public wanted to exist. And Rockwell put it together from elements that were there for everyone to see. Rockwell helped preserve American myths, but, more than that, he recreated them and made them palatable for new generations. His function was to reassure people, to remind them of old values in times of rapid change.
The story of Walt Disney and the company he built based entirely on the creations of his extraordinary imagination. It covers Walt's early career, including Mickey Mouse's 1928 debut in Steamboat Willie, all of the animated feature films from Snow White to Fantasia 2000, live action films, and the theme parks such as Disneyland. The author was granted access to archives and people, interviewing hundreds of Disney staff members past and present, from chairman Michael Eisner, to the animators, to the imagineers who design the theme parks. Illustrations include concept art, background paintings, film stills and views of theme park attractions, all selected in consultation with the artists and animators themselves. This book has been revised and updated to include all major projects since the last edition, including Toy Story 2, Tarzan and Fantasia 2000.
