Book Description
In his short life, Bollinger created an oeuvre that is complex, radical and intense, and well worth rediscovering. At the same time, the show aims to contribute to the current reappraisal of hitherto neglected art positions. At the height of the space race, he was creating sculptures that explore the gravity, balance and specific properties of a wide variety of materials. The cosmos and water are key elements in the work of Bollinger, who was fascinated by curved space, the vertical and the horizontal, resulting in evanescent, purist, energy-laden works with a radical edge that still have the power to astound us, even today.

Book Description
This retrospective monograph is the first to be dedicated to the radical sculptural œuvre by the almost forgotten American artist Bill Bollinger.In the late 1960s, Bill Bollinger ranked among the most important sculptors of his day, on a par with Bruce Nauman, Robert Smithson, Eva Hesse, and Richard Serra.After graduating from Rhode Island's renowned Brown University with a degree in aeronautics, Bollinger moved to New York in 1961 to study painting.He participated in legendary exhibitions and produced a compact, wide-ranging body of work that is purist, ephemeral, and full of energy; these works still deliver an astonishing impact. In the mid-1970s, he disappeared from the radar screen of the art world.Published on the occasion of the exhibition Bill Bollinger: The Retrospective touring from venues in Germany to The Fruitmarket Gallery, Edinburgh, UK, October 2011 - January 2012.

Big Guns, Brave Men
Author: Rodney E Walton
Publisher: Naval Institute Press
ISBN: 1612511317
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 266
Book Description
Although it was the largest and final battle of the Pacific War, the Battle for Okinawa has long been overshadowed by other dramatic events in 1945. The books that have been written about it emphasize the role of infantrymen, armor, and U.S. Marines. This work takes a fresh perspective and focuses on the vital role played by the U.S. Army’s forward artillery observers—the eyes and ears of American artillery who were among the least recognized heroes of the war. According to Rodney Earl Walton, U.S. artillerymen matched Japanese gunners in intensity and surpassed them in effectiveness because their forward observers were able to provide a much shorter response time to requests for artillery support. Divided into teams consisting of four or five men led by an artillery lieutenant, these observers would spend three days on the front lines directing artillery against enemy positions, return to their artillery battery for three days, and then rotate up to the line of battle again. While trying to maximize the damage inflicted on the enemy, the men had to deal with the ever-present possibility of firing on their own forces. The ability to shift artillery fire throughout the battlefield was a new development in World War II, and its evolution is fully examined in the book. Walton, the son of one of the forward observers on Okinawa, spent more than twenty years investigating what happened to his father and other artillerymen during the conflict. Interviews with the artillerymen and the infantrymen they supported are central to his story, which is filled with gripping and sometimes humorous accounts of what happened. The work stands as a stirring tribute from the “baby boom generation” to the “greatest generation.
