Charmed Circle
Author: James R. Mellow
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 1466801956
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 958
Book Description
Avant-garde Paris comes to life in this "meticulous and loving reconstruction of the period" (The New York Times Book Review) On almost every Saturday of the first half of the twentieth century, Gertrude Stein would open her door to the likes of Picasso and Matisse, Hemingway and Fitzgerald, Cocteau and Apollinaire, welcoming them into a salon alive with vivid avant-garde paintings and sparkling intellectual conversation. In Charmed Circle, James R. Mellow has re-created this fascinating world and the complex woman who dominated it. His engaging narrative illuminates Stein's writing—now celebrated along with the work of such literary giants as Joyce and Woolf—including her difficult early periods, which adapted cubism and abstraction to the written word. Rich with detail and insight, it conveys both the serene rhythms of daily life with her devoted partner, Alice B. Toklas, and the radical pulse and dramatic upheavals of her exciting era. Spanning the years from 1903, when Stein first arrived in Paris, to her final days at the end of the Second World War, Charmed Circle is a penetrating and lively account of a writer at the heart of modernity.

Mapiranje prostorov modernističnih mest v kontekstu načel CIAM-ove Atenske listine
Author: Katarina Mohar
Publisher: Založba ZRC
ISBN: 9610504345
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 140
Book Description
Zbornik prinaša prispevke mednarodne konference, ki je rezultat aplikativnega projekta Mapiranje urbanih prostorov slovenskih mest v zgodovinskem okviru: Nova Gorica in njeni konteksti (L6-8262), ki ga financirajo ARRS, Mestna občina Nova Gorica in SAZU. Prispevki v zborniku na primerih mest, ki so bila v 20. stoletju na novo zgrajena na področju Sovjetske zveze, Nemčije, Italije, Baltskih držav, Irana in Slovenije, kritično presojajo Atensko listino, ki je na 4. kongresu CIAM-a (Congrès internationaux d'architecture moderne) leta 1933 utemeljila načela funkcionalističnega mesta, v ospredje razmislekov pa zbornik postavlja Novo Gorico. Prispevki so razvrščeni v sedem tematskih sklopov, ki naslavljajo vrsto do sedaj redko tematiziranih vidikov: nastanek in utemeljitev funkcionalističnega mesta, središče funkcionalističnih novih mest in identiteta mesta, enoličnost ali raznolikost modernistične stanovanjske arhitekture, pozabljena in propadajoča industrijska dediščina, sakralna arhitektura v novih funkcionalističnih mestih, spomeniki v javnem prostoru modernističnih mest, mapiranje in vizualizacija mestnega prostora.
