Robert Frank Bücher

This book fills a long overdue gap by providing a comprehensive overview of Robert Frank's more than 25 films and videos, some of them classics of the New American Cinema of the 1950s and 60s, many of them virtually unknown and barely seen. Frank Films offers a visually unique approach to the work: at Frank's request, only new stills taken from the original films and videos were used as illustrations. A number of in-depth essays discuss the history and aesthetics of Frank's moving pictures, while shorter texts by various authors examine each film and video individually. One of the greatest and most restless artists working today, Frank has always worked in a place untouched by fashions and schools, his art literally growing out of and for itself. Frank Films is required reading for everyone interested in Robert Frank and the history of American avant-garde film.

Frank explores the lives and lifestyles of a new breed of millionaires and billionaires - many of them self-made and from blue-collar backgrounds - and how this new gilded age is affecting wider society.

Que furent les relations internationales depuis 1941, moment où les puissances extra-européennes (Etats-Unis, Japon, URSS) changèrent le sens du second conflit mondial, jusqu'au moment où, après maintes crises, maintes guerres locales, les deux " géants " purent croire qu'ils avaient encore la capacité d'assurer un certain équilibre entre diverses forces contradictoires ? Après la guerre froide " chaude " (1947-1955), après le dégel, avec la coexistence pacifique, les États-Unis et l'URSS pourront-ils savourer leur triomphe au milieu des années 1960 ? Divisée par la guerre, mais refaite par la croissance économique, l'Europe relèvera-t-elle la tête ? Où en sont alors les nationalismes ? Ce livre propose une approche globale des relations internationales.
