In Tom Wolfe's hands, the strange saga of American architecture in the 20th century makes for both high comedy and intellectual excitement. This is his sequel to The Painted Word, the book that caused such a furor in the art world five years before. Once again Wolfe shows how social and intellectual fashions have determined aesthetic form in our time and how willingly the creators have abandoned personal vision and originality in order to work a la mode.

Fu lui, infatti che si impose e che delineò con le sue opere, "impressioni su tela" destinate a diventare le capostipiti di una corrente artistica che divenne predominante tra la fine del 1800 e l'inizio del 1900. Di sicuro il dotatissimo ragazzo di Montmartre di origini modeste non poteva immaginare che la sua passione per la pittura, l'avrebbe reso celebre, e che le sue tele sarebbero diventate icone di bellezza in grado di suscitare ammirazione e di emozionare.

Questo audiolibro in realtà è più simile ad un cd, è musicale perchè è musica, ma allo stesso tempo è poesia ed è narrativa. Gli Onorevoli sono: Luca Ragagnin - testi e voce; Luca Tartaglia - basso e loop station; Mendo Fabio Mendolicchio - percussioni ed elettronica. L'album riporta una ghost track che è una sorpresa per chi lo acquisterà e un'altra traccia, "Dio è italiano", che al momento delle registrazioni non fu contemplato ma che riporta il senso di questo lavoro e allora lo abbiamo recuperato da un live di qualche tempo fa ed è il testo che segue! Buon ascolto.

David Bordwell argues that the principles of visual storytelling created in the studio era are alive and well, even in today's bloated blockbusters. American filmmakers have created a durable tradition - one that we should not be ashamed to call artistic, and one that survives in both mainstream entertainment and niche-marketed indie cinema. Bordwell traces the continuity of this tradition in a wide array of films made since 1960.
