The Unspeakable Confessions of Salvador Dali
Dali's book is by turns joyous, excremental, spiritual, vain, sensual, didactic, innocent -- all of a piece with its creator. The facts of his life are all here, from his birth in Spain in 1904 through his studies and his military service and his arrival in Paris and then in the United States and his work not only in painting but also in the ballet, in window dressing, and in film. He discusses the many people he's known and worked with, among them Picasso, Lorca, Buñuel, Coco Chanel, André Breton, and Jean Cocteau. But most of all he tells us of himself, of his ties with the Spanish earth, his love of money, his investigations of death, the meaning of his art, his love for his wife. And out of all this emerges not only Dali the self-proclaimed genius but also Dali the vulnerable man. His book is a revelation of himself and a landmark in autobiographical literature. -- From publisher's description.

Mes vérités
Colette (1873-1944) a porté sur le monde un nouveau regard de femme, assez fort pour imposer un style à la fois classique et singulier, que Cocteau se plaisait à comparer à celui de La Fontaine. Ses romans, de la série des Claudine aux œuvres autobiographiques en passant par le sulfureux Blé en herbe, ont séduit un public toujours plus nombreux, pour lequel elle est restée la veilleuse solitaire du Palais-Royal et de la Treille Muscate, la Madone aux chats et la librettiste de Maurice Ravel. Colette aura mené une bataille quotidienne, durant son existence, avec un élan qui fit d'elle " la femme la plus libre du monde ", selon Mac Orlan.En 1949, André Parinaud réalise une série ...
Eating Architecture

Antonin Artaud
This resource collects for the first time some of the best criticism on Artaud's life and work from writers such as Jacques Derrida, Julia Kristeva, Maurice Blanchot, Herbert Blau, Leo Bersani and Susan Sontag. Antonin Artaud was one of the most brilliant artists of the twentieth century. His writing influenced entire generations, from the French post-structuralists to the American beatniks. He was a key figure in the European cinema of the 1920s and '30s, and his drawings and sketches have been displayed in some of the major art galleries of the Western world. Possibly best known for his concept of a 'theatre of cruelty', his legacy has been to re-define the possibilities of live performance. Containing some of the most intellectually adventurous and emotionally passionate writings on Artaud, this book is essential reading for Artaud scholars working in arts disciplines including theatre, film, philosophy, literature and fine art.
Maniac Eyeball
The third, final and most complete volume of autobiography by the 20th century's most famous artist.
Truffaut
Here is the definitive story of one of the most celebrated filmmakers of our time, an intensely private individual who cultivated the public image of a man consumed by his craft. But as this absorbing biography shows, Truffaut's personal story—from which he drew extensively to create the characters and plots of his films—is itself an extraordinary human drama.
Tolerance
Are peace, democracy and freedom possible without tolerance? To mark the 50th anniversary of its foundation, UNESCO is endeavouring to raise public awareness of the idea of tolerance. Here, writings on tolerance produced by authors such as Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Aime Cesaire and Abbe Pierre, convey their humanistic message. 30 pieces of art expose, in terrible images, the human tragedy, juxtaposed with black and white photographs. It offers evidence of the ideas and images which have helped to influence the drive for progress towards greater tolerance.
