Résumé:
Alexander Blok (November 28, 1880 – August 7, 1921) was a major poet of the Russian Symbolism movement. His early poetry was dominated by the theme of searching for his ideal beauty. Sound, rhythm, colour and repetition played a crucial part in setting the mood and conveying emotions in his writing. With subsequent collections, the focus shifted to depicting human psychology. His writing became more ironic and pessimistic, as he struggled to balance his quest for an ideal with his disenchantment in everyday life. In the later stages of his career, he wrote predominately about political themes and the changes that were happening in Russia. To this day, he is considered by many to be the most important Russian poet since Alexander Pushkin, and his work would have a lasting influence on the likes of Anna Akhmatova, Boris Pasternak and Marina Tsvetaeva, among other prominent poets of the Silver Age. This dual-language collection of his poetry seeks to represent the continuum of Alexander Blok’s growth as a poet, with particular attention paid to the rhythm and melody of his writing.

A tracking shot on the works of an architect who knows how to play on the sensitivity of his audience. Emotional crisis, taut nerves and hence a predisposition to perceive in a much more complex way than normal.

Résumé:
A tracking shot on the works of an architect who knows how to play on the sensitivity of his audience. Emotional crisis, taut nerves and hence a predisposition to perceive in a much more complex way than normal. These, Rota admits, are the emotions which he hopes to provoke in spectators who visit his projects. Installations that can emotionally shock people and raise their levels of sensitivity. To achieve this, he uses color made of light, transparencies, screens and projections (never material or painted color), an exceptional tool, and vital for conveying detailed messages in the best possible way, because of the processes it stimulates in the brain. Increasingly working in the sphere of magic rather than the sphere of the useful, Italian Italo Rota's flair for design- working abroad and communicating at an international level- is described in this unique publication. The book also considers the playful side of the projects he has undertaken, creating games for adults with just a touch of magic, fun and sophistication.

Résumé:
Over the course of a residency at a London gallery, Swiss designer Demian Conrad invited an array of graphic designers and typographers past and present to share the anecdotes, stories and scandals that have marked the international design scene over the course of the last century. The result is an examination of the ways in which the Swiss Style influenced British graphic design and vice versa. This celebration of the ongoing dialogue and collaboration that has existed between the design traditions of these two countries also lays bare the divergences and conflicts that lie beneath the surface, and examines how such things as a typeface or a layout grid can come to have such an enduring impact on a global community and elicit such strong emotions. Each participant was asked to bring a design-related artefact that represents their personal connection with the Swiss Style, all of which are presented in this volume. These images and the dialogues they generate create a bridge between the typographic traditions and practices of Britain and Switzerland.

Résumé:
In 1930, as Henri Matisse (1869–1954) embarked on ''The Dance,'' a monumental mural commissioned by the American collector Albert C. Barnes, he began experimenting in ways that would permanently change the nature of his work. The use of pre-painted cut papers to lay out his compositions led to a new style of flat tones and bold shapes. He also increasingly used serial imagery to make visible his creative process, aiming to capture the flux of his own perceptions and emotions in the work of art. This volume highlights and explains pivotal transformations in Matisse’s work in the 1930s across a range of media, including mural and easel painting, sculpture, printmaking, drawing, and the illustrated book. The transatlantic contributors also look at the relationship between Matisse and the Parisian art journal ''Cahiers d’art,'' which played an outsized role in publicizing Matisse’s work during this period, and consider his exhibitions, his ongoing involvement with decorative painting, his studio as a creative laboratory, and the role of his model and muse Lydia Delectorskaya in his studio practice.

Résumé:
Sean was born in 1948 in Hull. His lifelong passion for photography began during his time at Ealing Art College in the 1970s, where he studied the craft and honed his creative vision. He spent most of his life in Bristol, working as a skilled builder specialising in the restoration of houses. However, his love for capturing the world through his lens never wavered. Sean's dedication to his craft was evident as he documented moments, scenes, and emotions throughout his entire life. Despite living, working, and raising a family in Bristol, Sean held a deep affection for his hometown of Hull. He took great pride in his roots, and his images often reflected the essence and character of Hull and its people. A true testament to his loyalty, Sean remained an avid supporter of Hull City, unwavering in his commitment to his beloved team.? In recent years Sean started rediscovering and scanning his negatives from the 70s. This caught the eye of the publisher Cafe Royal Books and his images are now available for the world to see. Sean sadly died at the beginning of 2023 - his memory lives on through his images.

Résumé:
For the past seven years, the Stanford Literary Lab, founded by Franco Moretti and Matthew Jockers, has been a leading site of literary scholarship aided by computers and algorithmic methods. This landmark volume gathers the collective research of the group and its most remarkable experiments. From seemingly ineffable matters such as the "loudness" of thousands of novels, the geographic distribution of emotions, the nature of a sentence and a paragraph, and the evolution of bureaucratic doublespeak, descriptions emerge. The Stanford Literary Lab lets the computers provide new insights for questions from the deep tradition of two centuries of literary inquiry. Rather than, like the rest of us, letting the computers lead. The results are adventurous, witty, challenging, profound. The old questions can finally get new answers—as the prelude to new big questions. "Canon/Archive" is the fulfillment and further development of "distant reading," adding a rare, full-length monument to the piecemeal progress of the digital humanities. No student, teacher, or inquisitive reader of literature will want to be without this book—just as no one interested in the new data-attentive methods in history, criticism, and the social sciences can afford to evade its summons.

Résumé:
Dr. Maya Angelou’s unforgettable poem is matched with the daring art of Jean-Michel Basquiat in this powerful ode to courage. Angelou’s brave, defiant poem celebrates the courage within each of us, young and old. From the scary thought of panthers in the park to the unsettling scene of a new classroom, fearsome images are summoned and dispelled by the power of faith in ourselves. Angelou’s strong words are matched by the bold vision of artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, whose style reveals the powerful emotions and fanciful imaginings of childhood. Together, Angelou’s words and Basquiat’s paintings create a place where every child, indeed every person, may experience their own fearlessness. This brilliant introduction to poetry and contemporary art features brief biographies of Angelou and Basquiat and an afterword from the editor. A selected bibliography of Angelou’s books and a selected museum listing of Basquiat’s works open the door to further inspiration through the fine arts. Presented as an impassioned ode to courage, the late poet Dr. Maya Angelou’s 1993 poem in this handsome anniversary edition will inspire a new generation of brave readers, no matter the challenge. Young readers will be inspired by poetry, by art, and by the tremendous talent of these two legendary creators in one beautiful picture book.
