To his critics, he was the cynical magus of a movement that debased high art and reduced it to a commodity. To his admirers, he was the most important artist since Picasso. As the quintessential Pop artist, Andy Warhol razed the barrier between high and low culture. Pop disentangles the myths of Warhol from the man he truly was, offering a vivid, entertaining, and provocative look at the legendary artist's personal and artistic evolution during his most productive and innovative years.

Da Capo

There he is, drumming on "Tutti Frutti," "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'," and thousands of other songs. As a studio player in New Orleans and Los Angeles from the 1940s through the 1970s, Earl Palmer co-created hundreds of hits and transformed the lope of rhythm and blues into full-tilt rock and roll. He was, as a result, one of the first session men to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Palmer's distinctive voice alternates with the insights of music journalist and historian Tony Scherman in an unforgettable trip through the social and musical cultures of mid-century New Orleans and the feverish world of early rock.

Tony Scherman's Chasing Napolean presents a remarkable tour de force: a cycle of monumentally scaled portraits of Napolean Bonaparte, each of which depicts Napolean at a psychologically charged, life-determining juncture. Confronting the challenge of producing an accurate likeness of an historical figure whose reign preceded the age of photography, Scherman metaphorically chronicles the life of Napolean using only the image of his face. Battlefield genius, despotic emperor, megalomaniac conqueror, derided hero - each of these incarnations of Napolean flickers through Scherman's paintings, invoking the flash of charisma as quickly as this is complicated by dark and conflicting undertones. The book contains three texts: Jacques Henric provides a dynamic account of the cultural and historical importance of Scherman's work and the frame of reference from which it springs. Hans Belting and David Moos discuss the specific project and the execution of the Napolean series, and an interview with Stanford Kwinter and Bruce Mau illuminates the artist's motivation, practice, and concerns.
