  100 Quotes by Oscar Wilde, Hörbuch, Digital, 20min

  Oscar Wilde is remembered as one of the wittiest minds ever, thanks to his provocative style and humor. In the 1890s, he was one of London's most popular playwrights; his masterpieces are The Importance of Being Earnest and the dark and fantastical Picture of Dorian Gray. His writings entwine themes of beauty, decadence and duplicity, which made him a more than colorful agent provocateur in the Victorian society. This would eventually lead to a very public trial after he was accused of sodomy. His defense, punctuated with witticism, often left the court roaring with laughter, but the evidence was against him, and he was eventually sent to prison. We have selected for you 100 of his funniest and most provocative quotes, for you to relent in his humor and spice up your conversation with surprises and puns. Language: English. Narrator: Katie Haigh. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/cids/000572/bk_cids_000572_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

  The Moment of 'Psycho': How Alfred Hitchcock Taught America to Love Murder , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 226min

  It was made like a television movie, and completed in less than three months. It killed off its star in 40 minutes. There was no happy ending. And it offered the most violent scene to that date in American film, punctuated by shrieking strings that seared the national consciousness. Nothing like Psycho had existed before, and the movie industry, even America itself, would never be the same.In The Moment of Psycho, film critic David Thomson situates Psycho in Alfred Hitchcock's career, recreating the mood and time when the seminal film erupted onto film screens worldwide. Thomson shows that Psycho was not just a sensation in film - it altered the very nature of our desires. Sex, violence, and horror took on new life. Psycho, all of a sudden, represented all America wanted from a film and, as Thomson brilliantly demonstrates, still does. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jeff Woodman.

• David Reed

  A beautifully illustrated, in-depth look at recent works by David Reed, an American artist who brings conceptual interests in process and duration to his abstract paintings. Since the outset of his career, David Reed's central preoccupation has been to challenge and reinvent how to make a painting. Consistently, his paintings present a compelling tension between the gestural and the impersonal; in recent times this has been characterized by fluid, torquing, extended marks that reveal the viscosity of paint and the speed of color and light in a flattened manner that looks photographic or filmic. David Reed documents the artist's 2020 exhibition of new work at Gagosian in New York, presenting 15 outsize paintings that, in many cases, were over a decade in the making. The plates are punctuated by striking details of several works. The artist's "working drawings," which he has long made to document the many stages of a painting's creation, are illustrated throughout the plate section, offering insights into his varied sources and complex processes. A new essay by art historian Richard Shiff examines the emotional tenor of Reed's paintings.
