Published on occasion of the exhibition held at the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, University of East Anglia, Norwich. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Profusely illustrated. *** "In debates over the transition from modernism to postmodernism much is made of the shift from the autonomous art object to site-specific work. On Location: Siting Robert Smithson and his Contemporaries revives these debates by exploring the relationship between the site and the gallery space evident in the work of Robert Smithson and his peers. In the 1960s, artists began to work directly with the exhibition space, creating temporary installations or challenging the physical limits of the gallery by transforming its architecture. Others moved beyond the gallery to work on city streets or in the countryside, whilst others still explored the mechanisms of the art world itself, investigating the publications and reproductions that frequently replaced the direct experience of individual works. Robert Smithson engaged with all of these practices in different ways and, as a result, plays a pivotal role in these debates." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: The dialectic of place: the non-site and the limits of modernism, by Simon Dell; Mirrors and monuments, entropy in the ebb tide, by William Wood; Arts of isolation, arts of coalition, by Alistair Rider. Size: 8vo. Collectible.

Illustrated Softcover. Condition: Very Good Plus.

The Early Reformation in Europe explores these contrasts and comparisons through a series of specially commissioned essays by leading specialists in European history. These will serve both as a lucid and clearly written introduction to the Reformation in different parts of Europe, and as an introduction to recent debates on the success and failure of the movement as a whole."

Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. Photographs (illustrator). Take nine creative people of catholic tastes, divergent viewpoints, representative of a score of different vocations and avocations, whose only common denominator is a liking for movies as a warming part of life. Make sure that each is a superb essayist and chiefly employed in writing about motion pictures for magazines or newspapers. Put the best of their astringencies, drolleries, scholarly criticism, passionate approval and disapproval between two covers.The recipe results in a dish that movie aficionados will relish for its professionalism and as a departure from the standard fare so often spooned out in the '70's. Editor Alistair Cooke in 1936 invited the eight fellow-critics whose work is included here to join him in what he conceived at first to be "a casual chronicle of pleasure and pain in the movies." That it turned out to be more than casual is due to the surpassing skills of the Nine. Here is Graham Greene, then film critic of The Spectator, writing about The Case of the Lucky Legs, and on Bing Crosby, whom he describes as representing "permanent, if disagreeable, human characteristics of nostalgia and self-pity." Read Meyer Levin's savage and accurate diatribe about American patriotic movies. See Robert Forsythe provide similar sentiments about the English cinema. There is endless fascination, and great critical and historical value, in noting how writers of this calibre reacted in the '30's to Soviet films such as Chapayev, to Frank Capra's comedies, to Garden of Allah, Modem Times, Klondike Annie, Camille and King Kong.In addition to the three gentlemen mentioned above, Robert Herring, Don Herold, John Marks, Otis Ferguson,' Cecilia Ager, Kyle Crichton and Mr. Cooke himself provide enough ingredients to make movie buffs wonder whatever happened to the good old days when movie critics knew that the world was full of a number of things and didn't hesitate to express themselves on a variety of subjects in pungent, jargon-free fashion. For this new edition of a book first published in 1937, Alistair Cooke has provided a Foreword which looks both forward and backward, and an annotated index citing technical details of the films discussed in the essays. Some 140 black and white photographs provide a lively addenda. Editor Cooke says about himself that, much as he likes movies, he "is happy indeed that he gave only a little of his life to them and most of it to American politics, the landscape of the West and golf, fishing, and every known indoor game except bridge."
