★ 普普藝術大師Andy Warhol未公開作品首度問世★ 一條蛇的「名流上位記」，幽默諷刺60年代時尚圈★ 收錄22幅彩色插畫，重現經典普普藝術色彩魅力在成為藝術傳奇之前，Andy Warhol曾用一條蛇，說了一個關於名利與慾望的故事。本書首度公開這段塵封作品，以一條努力擠進上流社會的蛇為主角，幽默描繪1960年代紐約時尚圈的浮華與虛榮。牠遊走於名人之間，從裝點Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis的靴子，到點綴Coco Chanel的襯衫，語氣機智又帶點自嘲。畫面則展現Warhol標誌性的輕盈線條與鮮明配色，充滿普普藝術的趣味與張力。這不只是一則寓言，更是一面映照Warhol內心與時代風景的鏡子。In this visual complement to The Andy Warhol Diaries―a snake who might be Warhol himself chronicles his attempts to scale the social ladderThis is the never-before-published story of a snake trying to make it in the world of sixties high society, strongly suggested to be a stand-in for Warhol himself. The snake’s tongue-in-cheek observations as he slithers from adorning Jackie Kennedy’s boots to embellishing Coco Chanel’s shirt will delight the sophisticated fashion crowd. But the stars of the show are Warhol’s whimsical illustrations, revivified with a color scheme inspired by his iconic Pop Art.Before he achieved his dream of making it big in New York, Andy Warhol worked in adve

In the early 1980s, Mary Hall is a little girl growing up in poverty in Camden, New Jersey, with her older brother Jacob and parents who, in her words, were "great at making babies, but not so great at holding on to them." After her father leaves the family, she is raised among a commune of mothers in a low-income housing complex. Then, no longer able to care for the only daughter she has left at home, Mary's mother sends Mary away to Oklahoma to live with her maternal grandparents, who have also been raising her younger sister, Rebecca. When Mary is legally adopted by her grandparents, the result is a family story like no other. Because Mary was adopted by her grandparents, Mary’s mother, Peggy, is legally her sister, while her brother, Jacob, is legally her nephew.Living in Oklahoma with her maternal grandfather, Mary gets a new name and a new life. But she's haunted by the past: by the baby girls she’s sure will come looking for her someday, by the mother she left behind, by the fat

本書描寫畫家 Horace Pippin 的真實人生。十九世紀末的童年時期，他便沉浸於繪畫的觸感與觀察，無論是替家人、同學，或日後的同事作畫，畫畫始終是他理解世界的方式。第一次世界大戰期間，他在戰壕中持續素描，直到一場意外讓他失去右臂的行動能力，也彷彿失去了創作的可能。然而，憑著反覆練習與耐心，他一步步重新舉起畫筆，再次投入創作，並逐漸受到關注，作品進入美國各地的畫廊與美術館。作者 Jen Bryant 以平實文字鋪陳這段歷程，插畫家 Melissa Sweet 則以拼貼與線條交織出藝術的生命力。本書榮獲 Robert F.

Sibert Honor BookWinner of the Schneider Family Book AwardAn ALA-ALSC Notable Children's BookWinner of the NCTE Orbis Pictus Award for Outstanding Nonfiction for ChildrenAs a child in the late 1800s, Horace Pippin loved to draw: He loved the feel of the charcoal as it slid across the floor. He loved looking at something in the room and making it come alive again in front of him. He drew pictures for his sisters, his classmates, his co-workers. Even during W.W.I, Horace filled his notebooks with drawings from the trenches . . . until he was shot. Upon his return home, Horace couldn't lift his right arm, and couldn't make any art. Slowly, w

Pilgrimage took Annie Leibovitz to places that she could explore with no agenda. She wasn’t on assignment. She chose the subjects simply because they meant something to her. The first place was Emily Dickinson’s house in Amherst, Massachusetts, which Leibovitz visited with a small digital camera. A few months later, she went with her three young children to Niagara Falls. “That’s when I started making lists,” she says. She added the houses of Virginia Woolf and Charles Darwin in the English countryside and Sigmund Freud’s final home, in London, but most of the places on the lists were American. The work became more ambitious as Leibovitz discovered that she wanted to photograph objects as well as rooms and landscapes. She began to use more sophisticated cameras and a tripod and to travel with an assistant, but the project remained personal. Leibovitz went to Concord to photograph the site of Thoreau’s cabin at Walden Pond. Once she got there, she was drawn into the wider world of the C
