BELLAS ARTES

The first illustrated book to chronicle the dramatic 1973 face-off between French and American fashion designers, which left an indelible mark on the fashion industry, launched American designers as a global force, and challenged the cultural norms of the time. Images from the archives of renowned fashion photojournalists Bill Cunningham and Jean-luce Huré—largely unseen until now—capture the behind-the-scenes drama, fabulous clothing, iconic models, and glamorous guests at this historic show.

For Ashe and Leandro, creativity is a way of life that is reflected in everything they design. They have built a star-studded portfolio (clients include Liev Schreiber, Seth Meyers, Naomi Watts, and Rashid Johnson) with their fresh approach to unfussy, high-design spaces. Their interiors favor a quiet beauty, based on simple shapes, asymmetrical details, and a fine patina.

A building by Frank Lloyd Wright (1867–1959) is at once unmistakably individual and evocative of an entire era. Notable for their exceptional harmony with their environment, as well as for their use of steel and glass to revolutionize the interface of indoor and outdoor, Wright’s designs helped announce the age of modernity, as much as they secured his place in the annals of architectural genius.

From romantic to contemporary, from famed architects to little-known craftsmen, you’ll scale the heights to visit all manner of treetop structures, from a teahouse, restaurant, hotel, and children’s playhouse to simple perches from which to contemplate life, enjoy the view, and discover that tree houses take as many forms as the imagination can offer. With an abundance of gorgeous photographs and illustrations, this is an ode to alternative living, where playful imagination meets eco-sensitive finesse.

Linda Seger explica con claridad cómo adaptar al cine una novela, una obra de teatro o una historia real, y da solución a los problemas más comunes. Las adaptaciones cinematográficas son, desde hace mucho tiempo, el principal soporte de la industria de Hollywood y de las cadenas de televisión norteamericanas. Además, la mayoría de las cintas que han ganado el Oscar a la mejor película han sido adaptaciones de novelas, obras de teatro o historias reales. Linda Seger, autora de varios libros ya clásicos sobre escritura de guiones, ofrece ahora un manual valioso y completo para guionistas, productores y realizadores que quieran adaptar obras y acontecimientos a la pantalla. Junto a cómo analizar este material —y evaluar su potencial como película—, Seger proporciona un método práctico para trasladar al cine la historia, los personajes, los temas y el estilo. La última parte aborda también las cuestiones legales de toda adaptación, las posibilidades de opción sobre una obra y la protección de los derechos como guionista o productor.
