The New Books Table has been refreshed!
Currently on display are three titles from the new Cultographies series, which provide introductions to films that have attained cult status, delving into their appeal, conception, popular reception, and place in the cultural landscape. Featured are Donnie Darko, This is Spinal Tap, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Moving from film to art, don’t miss Kirby: King of Comics by Mark Evanier, an illustrated biography of Jack Kirby, pioneering artist in American comics. Kirby played a major role in shaping the superhero genre through his innovative artwork and collaborations with Stan Lee on classic Marvel characters. Also on display is Edward Hopper, companion catalog to the exhibit currently at The Art Institute.
And finally, two books highlighting polaroids are featured: Andre Kertesz: The Polaroids, a collection of Kertesz’s last work, polariods taken from his window in his New York apartment; and Manuel Alvarez Bravo: Polaroids, a selection of color photos from one of Mexico’s most significant artists, in which Bravo strays from his more well-known black and white images.
All this and more in fiction, non-fiction, children’s books and art, available for check-out on the New Books Table in Cudahy Library.
