Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - This visually striking book provides an introduction to the mysterious and dreamlike work of the artist Odilon Redon. Enigmatic and haunting, the work of the French Symbolist Odilon Redon (1840-1916) intrigues and entrances all who encounter it. During the first half of his career, Redon created dramatically monochromatic charcoal drawings and lithographs, dreamily dark images that plumbed the depths of his wild imagination. Eventually, however, he also turned to pastels, adopting a bold colorful palette in fantastical explorations of the natural world. Featuring more than seventy illustrations, this publication offers an overview of Redon's career. The informative, accessible essays examine his disparate influences from the worlds of religion, mythology, literature, and music, and demonstrate why Redon's mysterious work is an important precursor to Surrealism. This volume is published to accompany an exhibition on view at the J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Center from July 14 to October 18, 2026.…

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - This volume presents the first visual history of the people and organizations that led the fight for change during the civil rights era in Los Angeles. During a 1963 speech to a crowd of nearly forty thousand at Wrigley Field in Los Angeles, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. addressed the question of how Angelenos could contribute to the civil rights movement: 'The most important thing that you can do is to set Los Angeles free, because you have segregation and discrimination here, and police brutality.' Marching West illuminates the dynamic history of civil rights activism in Los Angeles and explores how the medium of photography both witnessed and advanced the fight for Black equality. Over one hundred images, some of which have never been previously published, reveal connections between the local and national movements and document the actions of Western coalitions, religious leaders, Hollywood stars, and concerned citizens. Drawn from the Tom & Ethel Bradley Center at California State University, Northridge (CSUN), the Getty Research Institute, and other Southern California collections--including prints by Harry Adams, Howard Bingham, Charles Brittin, Joe Flowers, Vera Jackson, and Charles Williams--this unprecedented volume presents less familiar but essential stories about American progress toward social justice. …
