Peter Green
One of the greatest white blues guitarists to ever come out of England, Peter Green founded Fleetwood Mac with John McVie and Mick Fleetwood. Considered an enigma as well as a great musician, he quit the band in the early 1970s, giving up fame and leaving behind original songs that have proved timeless. This fully authorized biography, by Green's close associate, reveals exactly why this happened.
Peter Green
Revised and updated, this is the second edition of Celmins' much acclaimed biography, charting the re-emergence of perhaps the greatest white blues guitarist ever. Includes new interviews and photographs. Prompted by the dismissive and exploitative portrayal of Peter Green in a TV documentary on Fleetwood Mac, music journalist and author Martin Celmins, from Yorkshire, England, set out to put the record straight. Over four years, he gained the confidence and co-operation of not only the guitarist's family and friends but ultimately Peter himself.
Vija Celmins
The beautiful catalogue that accompanies the critically-acclaimed exhibition currently on view at the Metropolitan Museum Best known for her striking drawings of ocean surfaces, begun in 1968 and revisited over many years both in drawings and paintings, Vija Celmins (b. 1938) has been creating exquisitely detailed renderings of natural imagery for more than five decades. The oceans were followed by desert floors and night skies--all subjects in which vast, expansive distances are distilled into luminous, meticulous, and mesmerizing small-scale artworks. For Celmins, this obsessive "redescribing" of the world is a way to understand human consciousness in relation to lived experience. The firs...

Tell Me Something Good
Since 2000, The Brooklyn Rail has been a platform for artists, academics, critics, poets, and writers in New York and abroad.

Zappa Gear
Frank Zappa was an unremitting musical innovator and experimenter, always looking for ways to exploit the latest advances in technology. His working life coincided with the explosive development of music technology that ran from the 1960s through the following three decades. Without such inventions as the Marshall amplifier, the Gibson SG, the wah-wah pedal, and the Synclavier – much of it modified to his requirements and used in ways for which they had never been designed – Zappa's “air sculptures ” as his music has been described, would have had a significantly different shape and texture. Lavishly illustrated – including over 180 unique photographs of Frank Zappa's guitars and e...
