Jet age aesthetic : the glamour of media in motion / by Schwartz, Vanessa R.,author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 205-207) and index"Vanessa R. Schwartz engagingly presents the jet plane's power to define a new age at a critical moment in the mid-20th century, arguing that the craft's speed and smooth ride allowed people to imagine themselves living in the future. Exploring realms as diverse as airport architecture, theme park design, film, and photography, Schwartz argues that the jet created an aesthetic that circulated on the ground below. Visual and media culture, including Eero Saarinen's airports, David Bailey's photographs of the jet set, and Ernst Haas's experiments in color photojournalism glamorized the imagery of motion. Drawing on unprecedented access to the archives of The Walt Disney Studios, Schwartz also examines the period's most successful example of fluid motion meeting media culture: Disneyland. The park's dedication to "people-moving" defined Walt Disney's vision, shaping the very identity of the place. The jet age aesthetic laid the groundwork for our contemporary media culture, in which motion is so fluid that we can surf the internet while going nowhere at all." -- Dust jacket

Burgers in blackface : anti-Black restaurants then and now / by Kwate, Naa Oyo A.,author.;
Includes bibliographical referencesIntroduction -- Coon Chicken Inn -- Mammy's Cupboard -- Richard's Restaurant and Slave Market -- Sambo's -- Conclusion: The spice of racism"Aunt Jemima is the face of pancake mix. Uncle Ben sells rice. Chef Rastus shills for Cream of Wheat. Stereotyped Black faces and bodies have long promoted retail food products that are household names. Much less visible to the public are the numerous restaurants that deploy unapologetically racist logos, themes, and architecture. These marketing concepts, which center nostalgia for a racist past and commemoration of our racist present, reveal the deeply entrenched American investment in anti-Blackness. Drawing on wide-ranging sources from the late 1800s to the present, Burgers in Blackface gives a powerful account, and rebuke, of historical and contemporary racism in restaurant branding"--

Phillips -- Historic and modern oil paints : composition and conservation / Richard Newman -- House paint pigments : composition and use, 1600 to 1850 / Richard Newman and Eugene Farrell."Since the time of the Lascaux caves (ca. 10,000 B.C.), people have been decorating and protecting their shelters with paint. The painter, according to one Victorian writer, was the most welcome of workers. The use of paint in the United States to achieve these twin goals - beauty and practicality - is definitively described in Paint in America." "Leading architectural historians, paint conservators, and paint investigators describe historic paints and painting techniques, recount the process of paint research at sites such as Mount Vernon and Colonial Williamsburg, explain modern paint analysis, and outline the basic nature of paints. Special sections present a newly authenticated palette of colonial paint colors as well as a list of the most common pigments used from 1600 to 1850. With its 115 illustrations (90 in color), Paint in America is an indispensable guide for everyone interested in restoring exteriors and interiors to their historically appropriate colors."--Jacket.

Structured as a series of inquiries into the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation Archives at Taliesin West, Arizona (recently acquired by MoMA and Avery Architectural & Fine Arts Library, Columbia University), the book is a collection of scholarly explorations rather than an attempt to construct a master narrative. Each chapter centers on a key object from the archive that an invited author has "unpacked"-- tracing its meanings and connections, and juxtaposing it with other works from the archive, from MoMA, or from outside collections. Wright's quest to build a mile-high skyscraper reveals him to be one of the earliest celebrity architects, using television, press relations and other forms of mass media to advance his own self-crafted image. A little-known project for a Rosenwald School for African-American children, together with other projects that engage Japanese and Native American culture, ask provocative questions about Wright's positions on race and cultural identity. Still other investigations engage the architect's lifelong dedication to affordable and do-it-yourself housing, as well as the ecological systems, both social and environmental, that informed his approach to cities, landscapes and even ornament. The publication aims to open up Wright's work to questions, interrogations and debates, and to highlight interpretations by contemporary scholars, both established Wright experts and others considering this iconic figure from new and illuminating perspectives.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 287-382) and index."Contemporary artists have often clashed with conservative American evangelicals in recent years, giving the impression that art and religion are fundamentally at odds. Yet historically, artistic images have played a profound role in American religious life. This superb collection of essays, with its unique assembly of images, challenges the apparent tension between religion and the arts by illustrating and investigating their long-standing and intriguing relationship from the early nineteenth century to the present day. The essays explore such varied topics as Sioux Sun Dance artifacts and paintings, American Jewish New Year postcards, the New Mexican santos tradition, roadside shrines, images of journey in African American pictorial traditions, the public display of religion, and the religious use of nineteenth-century technologies of mass reproduction"--Publisher description.
