George Johnson

World View

By: George Johnson,Christopher Heathcoate

George Johnson arrived in Australia from New Zealand in 1952 and in 1956 held his first exhibition of abstract painting in Melbourne. This book marks the artist's 80th birthday and fifty years of singular dedication to philosophy-based abstract imagery. Johnson's work is uniquely consistent - rarely straying from compositions based on primary shapes and a limited range of colour preferences, but demonstrating how these minimal means can, in combination, serve as surrogates for complex ideas. Additional contributors to the next include the artist's brother, renowned New Zealand poet, Louis Johnson; Australian poet and critic, Gary Catalano and Melbourne philosopher, Patrick Hutchings.

American Animated Cartoons of the Vietnam Era

A Study of Social Commentary in Films and Television Programs, 1961-1973

By: Christopher P. Lehman

In the first four years of U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War (1961-64), Hollywood did not dramatize the current military conflict but rather romanticized earlier ones. Cartoons reflected only previous trends in U.S. culture, and animators comically but patriotically remembered the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and both World Wars. In the early years of military escalation in Vietnam, Hollywood was simply not ready to illustrate America's contemporary radicalism and race relations in live-action or animated films. But this trend changed when US participation dramatically increased between 1965 and 1968. In the year of the Tet Offensive and the killings of the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., and Senator Robert Kennedy, the violence of the Vietnam War era caught up with animators. This book discusses the evolution of U.S. animation from militaristic and violent to liberal and pacifist and the role of the Vietnam War in this development. The book chronologically documents theatrical and television cartoon studios' changing responses to U.S. participation in the Vietnam War between 1961 and 1973, using as evidence the array of artistic commentary about the federal government, the armed forces, the draft, peace negotiations, the counterculture movement, racial issues, and pacifism produced during this period. The study further reveals the extent to which cartoon violence served as a barometer of national sentiment on Vietnam. When many Americans supported the war in the 1960s, scenes of bombings and gunfire were prevalent in animated films. As Americans began to favor withdrawal, militaristic images disappeared from the cartoon. Soon animated cartoons would serve as enlightening artifacts of Vietnam War-era ideology. In addition to the assessment of primary film materials, this book draws upon interviews with people involved in the production Vietnam-era films. Film critics responding in their newspaper columns to the era's innovative cartoon sociopolitical commentary also serve as invaluable references. Three informative appendices contribute to the work.

Hitch 22

memoires

By: Christopher Hitchens

Waar de journalist Christopher Hitchens ook optreedt, er is rumoer. Hij zoekt de controverse op, neemt geen blad voor de mond, en gaat alle hypocrisie te lijf. Hij is een beruchte bon-vivant en staat bekend om zijn liefde voor literatuur en alcohol. Als buitenlandcorrespondent verbleef hij op de gevaarlijkste plekken ter wereld. Deze militante atheïst en bohemien werpt op elk onderwerp dat hij aansnijdt een nieuw en onverwacht licht. Of hij nu schrijft over de oorlog in Vietnam, de seksuele escapades op Engelse jongensinternaten, Bob Dylan of de interventie in Irak, zijn oorspronkelijke geest weet steeds weer verbanden bloot te leggen die het onderwerp losweken van elke gemeenplaats. In Hitch 22 maakt deze criticaster met het vlijmscherpe intellect je deelgenoot van zijn levensgeschiedenis, een geschiedenis van uitersten.
