Picasso (Essential Art) Customer Review: Picasso; Superb!
This book provides a fascinating insight into the work of the most famous artist of the 20th century. All of the main works can be seen here in glorious detail; PLUS SOME SURPRISING works which continue to be a mystery to historians. Picasso inspired just about all major artists who came after him and many at his time. This work is presented in an accessible way with commentary which is informative. The author does not look down on the reader. Great Stuff! Highly commendable.
Customer Review: Outstanding value
Written with a comprehensive introduction, essential Picasso looks at all aspects of Picasso’s art, with detailed commentory on 100’s of his works. Most of the expected and well known works, but what really sets this book apart is the inclusion of lesser known paintings. Laura Payne’s commentary is enthusiastic yet discerning. Often insightfull. & all the works are illustrated in large-format full colour!

Picasso and the War Years, 1937-45 Picasso’s reputation has ensured that the defining points in his artistic development, from the Blue Period to the late works, have been exhaustively covered by art and biographers alike. However, his output from the late 1930s and through the occupation of Paris has received surprisingly little attention. Steven Nash’s excellent new collection, Picasso and the War Years, 1937-1945 admirably fills this gap in Picasso’s career.

The collection reassesses both Picasso’s life and his artistic output during these critical years. Contributions include discussions of Picasso’s wartime writings, his horror at the effects of aerial bombardment, his anguished portraits of women, and the increasingly political nature of his work. Paintings of the stature of Weeping Woman, the enigmatic Night Fishing at Antibes, and the later still lifes are re-evaluated in the light of Picasso’s troubled and ambivalent response to war and occupation, and virtually the entire wartime oeuvre is beautifully reproduced in 83 sumptuous colour illustrations.

Following the liberation of Paris in 1944, Picasso told an American reporter: “I have not painted the war because I am not the kind of painter who goes out like a photographer for something to depict. But I have no doubt that the war is in these paintings … Later on perhaps the historians will find them and show that my style has changed under the war’s influence.” Picasso and the War Years uncannily fulfils Picasso’s prophecy, which stands as an important book not just on Picasso but on the wider impact which war has upon art. –Jerry Brotton

Under Fire [1983] (REGION 1) (NTSC)
Under Fire was one of a trio of notable films from the mid-1980s about journalists involved in Third World war zones. While certainly a lesser film than Salvador (1986) or The Killing Fields (1984) Roger Spottiswoode’s movie is still a commendable work from a director who later brought a similarly political edge to Noriega: God’s Favourite (2000).

Nick Nolte plays an American photo-journalist covering the civil war in Nicaragua in 1979, finding himself caught in a dangerous and cynical web of duplicity and self-interest, as well as falling in love with fellow American, Claire (Joanna Cassidy). Nolte gradually uncovers the degree of his own government’s involvement with the corrupt regime, and inevitably ends up crossing the line from neutral observer to helping the rebel cause.

Under Fire is in essence a reworking of Casablanca, especially as Gene Hackman’s network newsman proves to be Cassidy’s ex-lover, yet thanks to an intelligent script, strong support from Ed Harris as a mercenary and some genuinely unnerving and frightening scenes of the random chaos of war, it’s one which packs a powerful punch. Jerry Goldsmith’s evocative score is among his best of the 1980s.

On the DVD: Under Fire is presented in an anamorphic 1.77:1 transfer which is very clean and clear with minimal grain. The well-mixed Dolby Pro-logic soundtrack is highly effective, if not so startling as a 5.1 track. Beyond multi-language and subtitle options, the only extra is the original trailer, which is also anamorphically enhanced. –Gary S Dalkin
Customer Review: Taking sides
Under Fire is one of the few mainstream American `political’ movies to emerge from the studio system, but along with Missing it’s probably the best. On one level it grafts a traditional romantic triangle onto its story of American war correspondents in Nicaragua gradually finding themselves drawn to taking sides instead of taking pictures, but at least it’s a convincingly grown-up relationship that allows Nick Nolte, Gene Hackman and a never better Joanna Cassidy to really shine. It’s a shame that Cassidy never got more opportunities like this: a last-minute replacement for Julie Christie, she’s extraordinarily good here. The film also boasts an impressive supporting cast, with a star-making turn from Ed Harris as an amiable but deadly mercenary a standout, although Jean-Louis Tritignant’s deceptively unsubtle CIA man gives him a run for his money (not so much for his performance - his English was non-existent and it’s obvious he’s learned his lines phonetically - but because he has most of the film’s best dialog). Extremely well directed by Roger Spottiswoode with a promise he never really fulfilled, it’s an impressive albeit partisan portrait of a country decaying in the last stages of revolution and also boasts what is possibly Jerry Goldsmith’s finest score (which is saying quite something). Impressive stuff. The DVD’s only extra is the superb theatrical trailer, although it does boast a decent widescreen transfer.
Customer Review: A film with new resonance
Set in civil war torn Nicaragua where the US was propping up the regime of a Dictator (Antonio Somoza) against a popular left wing uprising. Stars Nick Nolte Joanna Cassidy and Gene Hackman. The heroes all make poor choices and are flawed, for both good and bad reasons. The journalists become committed to one side in the conflict, and in this action harm those they wish to support, and yet ultimately an honest piece of reporting does produce change. Thus it addresses the eternal dilemma for journalists who must ask whether to remain passive or become active - record or participate? Now probably - “suppress or report”? Its resonance is the hypocrisy and arrogance of US foreign policy - then supporting South American Juntas through the 1980s and 1990s - and now… It is based upon a true story - the the death of journalist Bill Stewart at the hands of a Nicarguan soldier was filmed by a TV crew and really did change the course of a Civil war - but not before countless “less important” deaths. The film is driven along by an excellent soundtrack, which sucks you in as the tension builds. Weaved in this is an inevitable but credible love story. The leads all give strong performances. I think this film has been rather overlooked - perhaps it said too many things the American public did not want to hear. Better than Salvador. A policitical drama and love story about a murder set in a war! Worth a watch.

100 Great Paintings: Duccio to Picasso

Portrait of Picasso As a Young Man: An Interpretive Biography
Customer Review: I didn’t regret!
It’s a very good book on Picasso. You get to know the time he lived in, the artists he knew, the facts that pulled his work in this or that direction. It’s not a biography of his live but a biography of his work, that was obviously influenced by facts of his live. You get the know the pulsions that made him start a new phase and see his work progress - you see him strugle to get where he always wanted to, through his art. Mailer’s inteligence and sensitiveness is at his top. Makes you learn about life, art and Picasso. His special care for Fernande, one of Picasso’s lovers, is charming. She knew Picasso well… and there are several extracts from her personal diary, which are nice literature and acurate descriptions. One book to read over and over again…

Customer Review: Once upon a time, and a very good time it was..apparently…
My significant introduction to Picasso was through the work of Joseph Campbell. J.C. praised P. highly, perceiving strongly delineated mythological themes throughout P.’s work.

This book will not provide any exposition of these themes for you…

Mailer starts off in grand style by relating that P. was stillborn, and it was his deliverybed-side uncle who animated the infant by a puff of cigar smoke blown directly into the boy’s face. Perhaps this acrid first breath accounts for the child’s subsequent exceptional view of the world, Mailer suggests…

Mailer’s writing is very crisp and clean. P.’s personal details are juxtaposed throughout with contemporaneous artistic influences & developments, which helps to acquire a sense of the personality behind the visions…

Also, there are numerous colour plates (blue period and cubism), and raunchy cartoons (woman has sex with squid, par example). These substantially assist a rather lyrical, if well-organized and insightful, presentation which does tend to hover dangerously close to the banal, despite these virtues.

Particularly enjoyable for the modest wealth of photographs, perceptive descriptions of Picasso’s cronies and their views on his work, (including Gertrude Stein - “the high priestess of high colonic”, a la Mailer), and blow-by-blow acounts of the hard times suffered and (numerous) racy personal details, but very likely not a book one will pick up again and again…

It was a birthday present to me, and it has to be the best book i’ve read on two fabulous artists. Loads of illustrations to compare the two artists work showing how they competed against each other. All in all a fabulous and well illustrated book.
