Book Description
The diptych is an artists device for portraying two equally notable persons or places on two canvases in one frame because they relate so closely to each other. Diptych: Tales of Two portrays two personsDorothy St. John and Charles Thomas Milleras they developed separately in their youth. They went to Argentina together in the thirties and slept in jungle camps inside tent-cabins and cottages built by the big oil company he worked for. They merged their lives with a veritable United Nations of fellow workers and laid the foundation for lives in the civilized world that they rejoined when they went home, full of tall tales and great pictures.
Hollywood Catwalk
Author: Tamar Jeffers McDonaldPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 0857733923
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
The High School outsider takes off her glasses, puts on a dress, and becomes the Prom Queen; the dowdy woman has her hair done, buys some chic new clothes and starts to attract the men. Cinderella and Pygmalion stories still provide inspiration for the plots of Hollywood romantic comedies, dramas, and even action films. Their perennial use prompts a series of questions: is, for example, male agency necessary to effect the transformation, or can the woman change herself? Can she ever change him? Most pressingly, what do these images of change and transformation, of improvement and transcendence tell us, the viewers, about what we should be doing? Investigating these questions, this book examines a key but frequently overlooked aspect of film style: the costume. Across all the films discussed, costume and the body it covers becomes the crucial element in the transformation scene, exemplifying the 'before' and 'after' of the successful change. Exploring the fantasies of transcendence and transformation sold through these films and exemplified in the costumes, this book examines "Calamity Jane", "Midnight Cowboy", "Clueless", "The Long Kiss Goodnight", "The Devil Wears Prada", and many other examples from both classic and contemporary Hollywood.
