"Donne-moi la photo". Idriss gardait ses chèvres et ses moutons non loin de l`oasis de Tabelbala quand une Land Rover a surgi. Une jeune femme blonde aux jambes nues a pris en photo le petit berger saharien. Sa photo, elle la lui enverra dès son retour à Paris. Idriss a attendu en vain. Son image volée ne lui a pas été rendue. Plus tard, quand il va partir vers le nord et jusqu`à Paris pour chercher du travail, il va se heurter à des images de lui-même qu`il ne reconnaîtra pas. Perdu dans un palais de mirages, il s`enfoncera dans la dérision jusqu`à ce qu`il trouve son salut dans la calligraphie. Seul le signe abstrait le libérera de la tyrannie de l`image, opium de...

Francisco Goya (1746–1828) has been called the last of the Old Masters and the first of the Moderns. For most of his career he was court painter to the Spanish kings, yet he also produced some of the most compelling images of social unrest ever painted. Among his works are formal royal portraits and the so-called ‘black paintings’, intensely private images of loneliness and despair. In this beautifully illustrated and up-to-date account of all aaspects of Goya’s career, Janis Tomlinson attempts to explain such contradictions and to place the artist and his work in the social and political context of Spain and Europe during the period of the French Revolution and its reactionary aftermath. This absorbing, thoughtful, prize-winning...

The top female box-office star of 1954, Grace Kelly`s status as icon takes in an 11-film, three-year, screen career and a glamorous later life as Princess of Monaco. More than any other star, she was in three memorable films the quintessential Hitchcock blonde, delineating traits of cool beauty, depths of hidden passion, intelligence, playfulness, and style - in short, the qualities that led biographer James Spada to call her "the pious man`s Marilyn." Yet Grace Kelly also showed her versatility and won her acting honors for playing against type in the title role in the grimly realistic movie "The Country Girl". Grace Kelly was a classic beauty, a public figure, and serious actress representative of an era. "The Movie Icon" series:...
