Published in conjunction with the first large-scale, multi-medium, posthumous retrospective of Willem de Kooning’s career, this publication offers an unparalleled opportunity to appreciate the development of the artist’s work as it unfolded over nearly seven decades, beginning with his early academic works, made in Holland before he moved to the United States in 1926, and concluding with his final, sparely abstract paintings of the late 1980s. The volume presents approximately 200 paintings, sculptures, drawings and prints, covering the full diversity of de Kooning’s art and placing his many masterpieces in the context of a complex and fascinating pictorial practice.

  • Paradoxes of the Nouvelle Vague
    ARTICLES · Cinema Comparat/ive Cinema · Vol. I · No. 2. · 2013 · 77-82 Paradoxes of the Nouvelle Vague Marcos Uzal ABSTRACT This essay begins at the start of the magazine Cahiers du cinéma and with the film-making debut of five of its main members: François Truffaut, Claude Chabrol, Eric Rohmer, Jacques Rivette and Jean-Luc Godard. At the start they have shared approaches, tastes, passions and dislikes (above all, about a group of related film-makers from so-called ‘classical cinema’). Over the course of time, their aesthetic and political positions begin to divide them, both as people and in terms of their work, until they reach a point where reconciliation is not posible between the ‘midfield’ film-makers (Truffaut and Chabrol) and the others, who choose to control their conditions or methods of production: Rohmer, Rivette and Godard. The essay also proposes a new view of work by Rivette and Godard, exploring a relationship between their interest in film shoots and montage processes, and their affinities with various avant-gardes: early Russian avant-garde in Godard’s case and in Rivette’s, 1970s American avant-gardes and their European translation. KEYWORDS Nouvelle Vague, Jean-Luc Godard, Jacques Rivette, Eric Rohmer, Claude Chabrol, François Truffaut, radical, politics, aesthetics, montage. 77 PARADOXES OF THE NOUVELLE VAGUE In this essay the term ‘Nouvelle Vague’ refers that had emerged from it: they considered that specifically to the five film-makers in this group cinematic form should be explored as a kind who emerged from the magazine Cahiers du of contraband, using the classic art of mise-en- cinéma: Eric Rohmer, Jacques Rivette, Jean-Luc scène rather than a revolutionary or modernist Godard, Claude Chabrol and François Truffaut.

    JANUS FILMS PRESENTS NEW 35MM PRINTS – NEW RESTORATION! http://www.janusfilms.com/hulot Director: Jacques Tati JANUS FILMS Country: France Sarah Finklea Year: 1953 Ph: 212-756-8715 Run time: 88 minutes [email protected] B&W / 1.37 / mono / unrated M. HULOT’S HOLIDAY SYNOPSIS While on holiday at a seaside resort, Monsieur Hulot – Jacques Tati’s endearing, pipe-smoking clown – finds his presence provoking one catastrophe after another. A wildly funny satire of vacationers determined to enjoy themselves, the first entry in the Hulot series includes a series of brilliantly choreographed sight gags about boats, dogs, tennis, and other hazards of leisure. Janus Films is proud to present this masterpiece of gentle slapstick in a new restoration. The restoration of M. Hulot's Holiday, fully funded and managed by Fondation Groupama Gan and Thomson Foundation with Les Films de Mon Oncle (rights owners), has been made at Technicolor Creative Services (Thomson) in Los Angeles with the support of Cinémathèque française. M. HULOT’S HOLIDAY ABOUT THE RESTORATION from American Cinematographer, September 2009 issue This year’s Festival de Cannes saw the début of a newly restored edition of M. Hulot’s Holiday (Les Vacances de Monsieur Hulot), the wistful comedy written and directed by Jacques Tati, who also stars as the nearly silent title character, who goes to a seaside resort for an odd, surreal, slightly melancholy holiday. Tati himself revisited the movie several times over the course of two and a half decades. M. Hulot’s Holiday was originally shot in 1951/1952, in Saint-Marc-sur- Mer, a small French resort on the coast of the Atlantic.
