Der vielfach talentierte Albrecht Duuml;rer nimmt einen bedeutenden Platz in der Geschichte der deutschen Kunst ein. In einer Zeit; in der die italienischen Kuuml;nstler die klassischen Techniken der Ouml;lmalerei; Bildhauerei und Architektur zu neuen Houml;hen perfektionierten und dadurch glaubten; dass sie das wahre Kunstmonopol besauml;szlig;en; widmete Duuml;rer sich einem eher vernachlauml;ssigten Medium; dass nur im Buchdruck zur Anwendung kam. Er befreite Holzschnitt und Kupferstich von dieser einseitigen Rolle; fuuml;hrte beide Techniken zur Perfektion und rauml;umte ihnen einen Platz im Olymp der angesehenen kuuml;nstlerischen Techniken ein. Eine Leistung; die sogar Giorgio Vasari in seinen Biographien beruuml;hmter Kuuml;nstler wuuml;rdigte. In diesem Buch werden nicht nur die bekanntesten seiner Meisterstiche und Stichzyklen aufgefuuml;hrt; sondern auch seinen weniger beachteten Aquarellen die nouml;tige Aufmerksamkeit gewidmet.

Must have for fans of LA NoirBy J M DhoWhether youre a fan of the classics of Los Angeles film noir like Murder My Sweet; Double Indemnity; Kiss Me Deadly and Criss Cross or you were recently introduced to Los Angeles mean streets by last years excellent computer game; LA Noir. . .this book is for you.Bunker Hill was once one of LAs premiere residential areas but by the late 1940s; it had regressed to a run down neighborhood of once opulent hotels and mansions converted to low-income apartments. The seedy nature of the neighborhood along with spectacular views of the rapidly expanding Los Angeles skyline and some great locations; including the Angels Flight funicular and the Third Street tunnel; and its proximity to the Hollywood studios made Bunker Hill a made-to-order film set.Sadly; Bunker Hill succumbed to redevelopment in the 60s leaving very little of the original intact. As Jim Dawson points out in his excellent paen to Bunker Hill and LA-based film noir; even the restored Angels Flight railway was reinstalled in the wrong location! Mr. Dawsons copiously illustrated book takes the reader on a nostalgic journey through the famous and not so famous movies of the late 40s through early 60s while providing a fascinating history of arguably the most interesting neighborhood in Los Angeles; past or pressent.Highly recommended!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Loved ItBy William H. Haugland IIIThis book was everything I was hoping it would be: a history of a lost neighborhood that should still be in Los Angeles; great references to the movies filmed there and the sad story of its demise. Thank you Esotouric.com for the recommendation to read this book.6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. LAs Bunker HillBy M. P.Those of us who are LA history buffs will really enjoy this. Losing Bunker Hill was a terrific loss to the city that is irreplaceable. More and more of historic LA is disappearing. We may only have the memories in books soon.
