I was fascinated wenn I discovered Busby Berkeley’s choreographies.

Berkeley (1895 – 1976) was one of the greatest choreographers and movie musical directors in US. His complex geometric stage dancing involved elaborated patterns and a large numbers of showgirls and props as fantasy elements in kaleidoscopic on-screen performances.

Henri-Georges Clouzot conceived an ambitious project — to be called L’Enfer — a story of sexual jealousy and psychological instability that would encompass an array of new and radical techniques. L’Enfer (1964) was a never made film starring by Romy Schneider, that was supposed to revolutionize the art form and that survives, in the limbo between intention and realization, as an intriguing possibility.

Michael Clark is exquisitely captured in these dynamic images taken across his illustrious career. Leaving his hometown of Aberdeen to join London’s Royal Ballet School in 1975 at the tender age of 13, the precocious Scot had choreographed 16 original works by the time he was 22, his post-punk and high camp performances selling out from New York to Tokyo.

“He is completely a British product—the Royal Ballet and punk.”

“He has always somehow been torn between his great respect for the classical tradition and a very powerful, anarchic, iconoclastic drive to expose its hypocrisy.”

Josef Albers’s Interaction of Color is a masterwork in twentieth-century art education. Conceived as a handbook and teaching aid, this book presents Albers’s unique ideas of color experimentation in a way that is valuable to specialists as well as to a larger audience.
