Описание: In May 1950 Isamu Noguchi (1904-88) returned to Japan for his first visit in 20 years. He was, Noguchi said, seeking models for evolving the relationship between sculpture and society--having emerged from the war years with a profound desire to reorient his work "toward some purposeful social end." The artist Saburo Hasegawa (1906-57) was a key figure for Noguchi during this period, making introductions to Japanese artists, philosophies, and material culture. Hasegawa, who had mingled with the European avant-garde during time spent as a painter in Paris in the 1930s, was, like Noguchi, seeking an artistic hybridity. By the time Hasegawa and Noguchi met, both had been thinking deeply about the balance between tradition and modernity, and indigenous and foreign influences, in the development of traditional cultures for some time. The predicate of their intense friendship was a thorough exploration of traditional Japanese culture within the context of seeking what Noguchi termed "an innocent synthesis" that "must rise from the embers of the past."
Changing and Unchanging Things is an account of how their joint exploration of traditional Japanese culture influenced their contemporary and subsequent work. The 40 masterpieces in the exhibition--by turns elegiac, assured, ambivalent, anguished, euphoric, and resigned--are organized into the major overlapping subjects of their attention: the landscapes of Japan, the abstracted human figure, the fragmentation of matter in the atomic age, and Japan's traditional art forms.

Описание: A puzzle book with a hauntingly good twist. This is no conventional 'seek-and-find.' Each of the detailed, full-color pages is packed with out-of-context items and blood-curdling continuity errors that only a true fan can spot. What is a Nerd Search? It's a chance to nitpick your favorite stuff We all adore discussing our top movies and TV shows. Be honest, we even love to find fault with them. Well, here we provide the faults This is not your ordinary search-and-find book, but a diabolical test of your nerdular knowledge of your favorite topic. Instead of simply locating lost objects, you have to spot tiny errors no one but an obsessive superfan could spot. Let us explain our categories... NERD ALERT Look out for continuity errors - things that just shouldn't be there. For example, it could be a character who wasn't in the scene, or a gadget that wasn't used at that point in time. In the Mr. Stay Puft-busting scene, for example, Janine should not be fighting alongside the guys - or the Library Ghost should not appear at all. MOVIE MIX-UPS These are items or characters that are simply in the wrong movie. If our featured scene is Slimer Showdown, from the first movie, then we should not see Dr. Janosz Poha from the sequel, cowering behind a table in the Sedgewick Hotel ballroom. Misplaced items can be anything from the Ecto-1 (before it was customized) to jars of mood slime or a stray spook. MYTHS AND MANIFESTATIONS To really test your ghostbusting credentials we've added five 'out-of-universe' monsters, spooks or demons into every spread. Simply spot if they are from the original Ghostbusters movies or not - and, for extra points, identify them Our special feature on page 6 is there to help you. SUPER QUIBBLES There are just five of these in the entire book; they are errors relating to behind-the-scenes information, such as a character from a deleted scene appearing. Or maybe it is something planned for the movie that never made the final version. If you check out the scoring system below they will put you in reach of a score of biblical proportions, enabling you to hit a significant number...

Описание: Do you possess Data-like recall of everything Star Trek: The Next Generation? Put that knowledge to the test with Hero Collector's TNG Nerd Search Book. The next generation of Hero Collector's Star Trek Nerd Search book is here, literally. Star Trek Nerd Search: The Next Generation follows the TOS-centric "Quibbles with Tribbles" and it challenges TNG fans to find the made-on-purpose mistakes across its 44 pages. Think of it as a next-level "Where's Waldo" for all the diehard Star Trek fans throughout the galaxy.
Glenn Dakin, the madman behind Hero Collector's previous Nerd Search search-and-find titles, Ghostbusters: Eerie Errors & Suspect Ghosts and Star Trek: Quibbles with Tribbles, returns to playfully torment fans who boldly think they know it all. His fully illustrated book beams up the villainous Borg, who've created time-traveling Chaos Cubes that break down reality as we know it. The reader's task is to spot the Cubes and save Picard's mission.
Making it so, however, will be tough. The reader must spot five continuity errors caused by the Chaos Cubes, such as TNG characters in the wrong costume, or scene or... even the wrong series! Complicating the crises, Dakin has hidden 10 random items for every season of TNG... in each scene. Can you find the rogue elements and name the episode? And, upping the ante even further, next-level Next Gen fans should be on the lookout for five Super Quibbles, behind-the-scenes bits of business that only hardcore fans will uncover. Sounds exciting and challenging, right? Say it with us: Resistance will be futile.
It's all in here: Quirky "Q" madness, those hirsute, cranky Klingons, and the ever-avaricious Ferengi. And, among the TNG episodes revisited are 'The Best of Both Worlds, ' 'The Big Goodbye, ' and 'Encounter at Farpoint.'
Oh, and the goal is to achieve the top score of, appropriately, 11001001.
