Hardcover. Condición: Used - Very Good. Sin Soft Focus showcases a scintillating era in film history -- 'pre-Code Hollywood' -- that boldly creative period in the early 1930s when defiant producers flouted the restrictions of the censors, who tried but failed -- to ban everything from sex, profanity, and excessive violence to racial mingling, drugs, and even 'lustful kissing.' Lavishly illustrated with film stills, many of them rare, the book captures the stunning artistry and bravura of the era's controversial films. Here are Joan Crawford, Clara Bow, and Marlene Dietrich portraying powerful women of questionable character; here too are James Cagney, Edward G. Robinson, and Paul Muni rising to fame as gangsters, gamblers, and debauched criminals. The first book to treat the pre-Code films as a discrete body of work, this lively volume is both substantive and appealing.

Hardcover. Condición: Used - Good. Body Language is about modern art and a primary subject of all art -- the human face and the human body, their infinite variety of gesture and expression. Published to accompany a section of the fall centennial exhibitions (October 7 through February 1, 2000) at the Museum of Modern Art, New York. The book is organized in five sections: Faces, gestures, postures, Pairs, groups. More than 100 images are reproduced, drawn from all of the Museum's collections, most from the period 1880-1920, but with more recent examples which amplify the themes presented. The selection is eclectic and provocative. In addition to the introductory essay, short commentaries appear with paired pictures throughout the book -- Toulouse-Lautrec with Garry Winogrand, Dorothea Lange with Kathe Kollwitz, Lewis Carroll with Balthus -- suggesting unexpected relationships and ways of looking at these compelling images. Book has minor shelf wear. Lamination peeling on lower back cover.…
