About the Item
Callas Images of a Legend by Attila Csampai Hardcover Book 1st Edition 1996.
This special edition brings together photographs of Callas' legendary stage appearances, portraits, snapshots, press and private photographs. It can be viewed as an iconography of Callas, a unique phenomenon who was both a musical genius as well as a jet set personality - thirty years after her death, the fascination with Maria Callas (1923-1977) has become a personality cult. This is not a biography in the usual sense, but rather a psychological study of an extraordinary artist and of her dealings with the vagaries of publicity. The accompanying text deals on the one hand with the virtuosity of the "Voice of the Century" and, on the other hand, with the cult figure photographs. These images have been taken by both well-known and unknown photographers and have been selected from all stages of her life and from all over the world - thus making this volume a unique documentation of the Callas legend.
Leonard Bernstein once called her "... the greatest artist of the world". Indeed, the inimitable Maria Callas (1923-1977) continues to fascinate and enthrall opera lovers and cult followers even two decades after her death. Her unique voice and operatic art, preserved on innumerable studio and live recordings, generates new fans with each passing year. No less captivating is her glamorous yet tragic fairy-tale life. Callas: Images of a Legend captures the incomparable musical genius and personal relationships of the star, as revealed through photographs of her stage performances, portraits, press photos and private snapshots. Photographers from all over the world - Cecil Beaton, Horst, and Gordon Parks, to name but a few - have contributed to this unusual pictorial documentation. In this gloriously produced book, Callas is seen working and relaxing with such notables as Luchino Visconti, Leonard Bernstein, Elsa Maxwell, Aristoteles Onassis, Rudolf Bing, Sir Winston Churchill, Grace Kelly, Prince Rainier, Liz Taylor, and many others. But, perhaps even more compelling are photos of Callas on stage, in the roles she made her own as Norma, Medea, Tosca, Marta, La Gioconda, Isolde, Turandot, Aida, Leonora, and Violetta. These images are revealing testimonials to the overpowering stage presence and outstanding acting abilities of Maria Callas.

Mediterranean Design Book by Mary Whitesides 1st Edition, 2006
Located in North Hollywood, CA
Mediterranean Design hardcover – August 17, 2006.
by Mary Whitesides (Author).
Title: Mediterranean Design
Publisher: brand: Gibbs Smith
Publication date: 2006
Binding: Hardcover
Great hardcover coffee table book.
Mediterranean Design reveals the vibrant color, outdoor-living emphasis, and diverse cultural influences that have created this unique style. Defined by an eclectic mix of natural elements: sunlight bouncing across textured walls, rooms arranged around porch-lined courtyards, terra-cotta tile roofs covering wood-beam ceilings, arched passages and porticos, vibrantly colored interiors, and courtyards and fountains that take advantage of the temperate climate. Mediterranean Design brings home the romantic and worldly appeal of a style that finds its heritage in the diverse lands of Morocco, Spain, Greece, Turkey, France, and Croatia.
Mediterranean Design highlights the unique aspects of the style, such as spatial orientation of the rooms is defining and private vestibules and porches rather than hallways connecting functional spaces, bedrooms as suites rather than lonely rooms, bathrooms as spas rather than generic or merely functional rooms.
Details such as arches, pillars, high ceilings, fountains, gardens, pergolas, lime-washed walls, stone façades...
