High Art Lite: The Rise and Fall of BritArt


Description

This eloquent, lacerating book has become the authoritative account of the new British art of the 1990s, its legacy in the 21st century, and what it tells us about the fate of high art as a whole in contemporary society. Now fully updated and with a new concluding chapter, "High Art Lite" provides a sustained analysis of the so-called "young British artists", exploring the reasons for its popularity and the much-publicised work of its leading exponents: Damien Hirst, Tracey Emin, Jake and Dinos Chapman, Marcus Harvey and Sarah Lucas, among others.

For the first time, four German WWII pilots share their side of the story.Few perspectives epitomize the sheer drama and sacrifice of combat more perfectly than those of the fighter pilots of World War II. As romanticized as any soldier in history, the WWII fighter pilot was viewed as larger than life: a dashing soul waging war amongst the clouds. In the sixty-five-plus years since the Allied victory, stories of these pilots heroics have never been in short supply. But what about their adversaries the highly skilled German aviators who pushed the Allies to the very brink of defeat?Of all of the Luftwaffe s fighter aces, the stories of Walter Krupinski, Adolf Galland, Eduard Neumann, and Wolfgang Falck shine particularly bright. In "The German Aces Speak," for the first time in any book, these four prominent and influential High Art Lite: The Rise and Fall of BritArt download ebook pdf Luftwaffe fighter pilots reminisce candidly about their service in World War II. Personally interviewed by author and military historian Colin Heaton, they bring the past to life as they tell their stories about the war, their battles, their lives, and, perhaps most importantly, how they felt about serving under the Nazi leadership of Hermann Goring and Adolf Hitler. From thrilling air battles to conflicts on the ground with their own commanders, the aces memories disclose a side of World War II that has gone largely unseen by the American public: the experience of the German pilot."
