Ce volume propose une descente à la découverte de différentes versions de l'enfer et de ses royaumes de torture à travers la littérature, les religions, la culture et le folklore. Richement illustré et accompagné d'écrits sur les origines et les détails de chaque univers infernal, il suggère un voyage allant des cercels de Dante à la Gue Hinnom hébraïque, en passant par le Xibalba, monde infernal de la culture maya et l'enfer swahili.
Award-winning designer and writer Steven Heller comes of age at the center of New York's youth culture in the mid-1960s to the mid-1970s.
Steven Heller has written a memoir. This is no chronological trek through the hills and valleys of his comparatively "normal" life, but instead, a coming of age tale whereby with luck and circumstance, he found himself in certain curious places at critical times during the early to late 1960s and later throughout the 80s in New York City.
This story is both entertaining and enlightening and follows Heller between the ages of 16 and 23 as he solidified his work as art director, graphic designer, cartoonist and writer, through stints at the New York Review of Books, Sex, Screw, and The New York Free Press, until becoming the youngest art director (and occasional illustrator) for The New York Times OpEd page at age 23.
This book explores the varied and unusual prop work of movie and TV graphic prop designer Ross MacDonald.
MacDonald's prop work for film and TV is explored through an interview by Steven Heller, a photographic essay on his work on National Treasure, and a collection of his work (building and designing the physical pieces as well as the graphic ones) divided into categories including books, cards and letters, and documents, such as maps and legal papers. This book includes many of his most popular props for movies and shows such as Silver Linings Playbook, National Treasure, Baby's Day Out, Boardwalk, The Knick, Parks and Rec, and many, many more.
