Diego Rivera: The Detroit Industry Murals
AU$90.00 Read MoreAdd to cartLinda Bank Downs; Diego Rivera
New York: W. W. Norton & Company, 1999.“Early in the Depression, Diego Rivera was commissioned by Edsel Ford to create a series of murals in the gallery of the Detroit Institute of Arts, giant frescos whose theme would be America’s industrial might. This volume studies the astonishing results and gives us a remarkably close look at Diego and his wife, Frida Kahlo. Rivera’s Detroit Industry murals are one of this country’s greatest treasures. In addition to providing full coverage and analysis of the murals, this volume includes chapters on the murals’ planning and antecedents, Rivera’s working methods (which can be read as a primer on frescos), Diego and Frida’s lives for their nine months in Detroit, and the public’s dramatic response to the strong socialist/communist themes in the works.” (publisher’s blurb)

Tales of the San Francisco Cacophony Society
AU$50.00 Read MoreAdd to cartKevin Evans; Carrie Galbraith; John Law
San Francisco: Last Gasp, 2019.“The history of the most influential underground cabal that you have never heard of. A template for pranksters, artists, adventurers and anyone interested in rampant creativity, for years to come. Rising from the ashes of the mysterious and legendary Suicide Club, The Cacophony Society, at its zenith, hosted chapters in over a dozen major cities, and influenced much of what was once called the underground. Flash Mobs, Urban Exploration, and Culture Jamming are a few of the pop culture trends that Cacophony helped kick off. Chuck Palahniuk’s Fight Club, Burning Man and Internet social networking powerhouse Laughing Squid were informed and inspired by Cacophony. The Burning Man Festival actually began as a Cacophony event as did the annual, and now world-wide SantaCon.” (publisher’s blurb)
