在**的华纳兄弟电影制片厂的幕后，四个移民兄弟将自己变成了美国幻想的大人物和大师。

《华纳兄弟》记录了一个毫无希望的电影制片厂的崛起，从二十世纪初摇摇欲坠的开始一直到成为好莱坞最有影响力和知名度最高的电影公司。华纳兄弟——哈利，艾伯特，山姆和杰克以未受过教育的犹太移民的身份来到美国，他们成立了一家制片厂，并使其成为整个好莱坞最聪明，最顽强和最激进的工作室。戴维•汤姆森（David Thomson）对华纳兄弟的电影进行了有趣而新颖的诠释，从开创性的有声电影《爵士歌手》到黑白音乐剧，黑帮电影以及《卡萨布兰卡》，《伊甸园之东》，《邦妮和克莱德》等戏剧性的爱情电影。他讲述了工作室非常引人注目的明星的传奇故事，其中包括Al Jolson，James Cagney，Bette Davis，Errol Flynn，Humphrey Bogart，James Dean，Doris Day和Bugs Bunny。汤姆森写道，华纳兄弟的文化影响是如此深远，以至于他们的工作室成为“帮助我们看到那里可能有美国梦的企业之一”。

A magnificently illustrated overview of Van Gogh’s life, legacy, and art, from early drawings through later, iconic paintings

Vincent van Gogh: His Life in Art surveys the artist’s creative evolution across his short but influential career. The narrative begins with Van Gogh’s drawings, which were the foundation of his early practice, and describes how he transitioned into painting by consulting instructional handbooks and copying images. Written by a team of international experts, the book follows his moves from the landscapes and peasant life of his native Holland to Antwerp, Paris, Provence, and finally the countryside north of Paris. In the brilliant light of southern France, he began painting portraits and landscapes while refining his characteristic style of rhythmic brushstrokes and expressive impasto in vivid colors. In addition to the main essay with its overview of Van Gogh’s shifting techniques and artistic concerns, the publication features a pair of essays highlighting two museums with exceptional collections of the artist’s work: the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam, and the Kröller-Müller Museum, Otterlo. Beautifully reproduced images showcase approximately 50 outstanding pieces from these and other institutions, from rough drawings to vibrant late-career canvases.
