    This Book Is a Compendium of New Wave Posters. It Is Organized Around the Designers (At Last!)

    “This book is a compendium of new wave posters. It is organized around the designers (at last!). It emphasizes the key contribution of Eastern Europe as well as Western Europe, and beyond. And it is a very timely volume, assembled with R|A|P’s usual flair, style and understanding.” –CHRISTOPHER FRAYLING, FROM THE INTRODUCTION 2 artbook.com French New Wave A Revolution in Design Edited by Tony Nourmand. Introduction by Christopher Frayling. The French New Wave of the 1950s and 1960s is one of the most important movements in the history of film. Its fresh energy and vision changed the cinematic landscape, and its style has had a seminal impact on pop culture. The poster artists tasked with selling these Nouvelle Vague films to the masses—in France and internationally—helped to create this style, and in so doing found themselves at the forefront of a revolution in art, graphic design and photography. French New Wave: A Revolution in Design celebrates explosive and groundbreaking poster art that accompanied French New Wave films like The 400 Blows (1959), Jules and Jim (1962) and The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964). Featuring posters from over 20 countries, the imagery is accompanied by biographies on more than 100 artists, photographers and designers involved—the first time many of those responsible for promoting and portraying this movement have been properly recognized. This publication spotlights the poster designers who worked alongside directors, cinematographers and actors to define the look of the French New Wave. Artists presented in this volume include Jean-Michel Folon, Boris Grinsson, Waldemar Świerzy, Christian Broutin, Tomasz Rumiński, Hans Hillman, Georges Allard, René Ferracci, Bruno Rehak, Zdeněk Ziegler, Miroslav Vystrcil, Peter Strausfeld, Maciej Hibner, Andrzej Krajewski, Maciej Zbikowski, Josef Vylet’al, Sandro Simeoni, Averardo Ciriello, Marcello Colizzi and many more.

  • (Bass & Vocals), Bruce Gilbert

    (Bass & Vocals), Bruce Gilbert

    WIRE 1977–1980 Wire were formed by Colin Newman (guitar & vocals), Graham Lewis (bass & vocals), Bruce Gilbert (guitar) and Robert Grey (drums). The band subjected themselves to a lengthy period of intense, 12-hour rehearsals, honing their (admittedly basic) musical skills until razor-sharp. What emerged was a version of rock shorn of all ornamentation and showbusiness. Newman and Gilbert’s chord sequences often took unexpected turns, Graham Lewis’s unique lyrics were vivid but oblique, and Grey’s drumming was minimal and metronomic. They may have arrived at the same time as punk and drawn on its initial burst of energy, but Wire’s forward-looking attitude meant they always stood apart from it. In fact, Wire could easily lay claim to having been the very first post- punk band. And yet, it’s equally true to say they could be viewed as part of the British tradition of left-field art-school bands that includes Roxy Music and The Pink Floyd. Wire played their debut proper at London’s Roxy club on 1 April, 1977. The band were immediately picked up by prodigious EMI offshoot label Harvest, and their debut album Pink Flag was released in December of the same year. The album was a collection of 21 songs, many of them sharp, abrasive and extremely short – six didn’t even make the one-minute mark. Yet many tracks, such as ‘12XU’ and ‘Ex-Lion Tamer’, are now rightly regarded as classics. Pink Flag received near universal acclaim and would be cited as a major influence on a panoramic range of artists, including Big Black, My Bloody Valentine, Blur, Henry Rollins, Joy Division and R.E.M.

  • Fort Leaton State Park

    TEXAS STATE PARKS Fort Leaton STATE HISTORIC SITE BIG BEND COUNTRY Fort Leaton STATE HISTORIC SITE Fort Leaton was established in 1848 as a border trading post by former Indian bounty hunter Benjamin Leaton. Located next to the Rio Grande on the Chihuahua Trail near Presidio, the massive adobe fortress protected his family and employees from Indian raids. Leaton was known for shadowy dealings and died in 1851. His widow, Juana Pedrasa, married Edward Hall, who was later murdered for failing to repay a debt. In 1875, Hall’s stepson (Leaton’s son) murdered his stepfather’s killer, who in the meantime had moved into Fort Leaton. Today, Fort Leaton State Historic Site preserves the structure’s colorful past and also the area’s cultural history. It serves as the western entrance into Big Bend Ranch State Park and the River Road FM 170. Historic Structure: One of the largest and best- preserved adobe structures in Texas. Self guided tours and, on weekends, volunteer-led guided tours. Interpretive Exhibits: Prehistory and history of the area. Battle of Ojinaga and Pancho Villa exhibit.
