Tiré du site internet "www.johnnealbooks.com" : "Brody Neuenschwander uses his virtuosity to make complex works of art that cause the viewer to look, and read, and look again. He and/or his work has been featured at three of the international calligraphy conferences: Confluence, Experiment, and Legacies. His work is included in most all Letter Arts Review annual issues. This wonderful volume presents his calligraphic collages on paper and a pictorial overview of his letterscapes for cinema, theatre and architecture -- collaborative projects with filmmaker, Peter Greenaway. Neunschwander's writing is on layers of paper, naked skin and monumental walls. Superbly designed by Nej de Doncker, this lovely book is bound in cloth and printed on two types of paper -- one for the full color and the other for the text. Though printed and published in Belgium, the book is in English."

Nightwatching

Le film The pillow book se déroule à Kyoto et Hong Kong à la fin du XXe siècle. Hommage au livre de Sei Shonagon, composé dix siècles plus tôt, le film de Peter Greenaway s'est inspiré de la sensibilité et de l'art de l'écrivain, pour raconter l'histoire d'une Sei Shonagon contemporaine qui ne peut s'empêcher d'écrire des textes sur le corps de ses amants.

The pillow book

This script by British director Peter Greenaway (born 1942) follows Russian director Eisenstein to Guanajuato, Mexico, in 1930, where he worked for ten days on a never-completed film called "Que Viva Mexico."

10 Days that Shook Eisenstein

Eisenstein in Guanajuato

In 2007, the internationally renowned filmmaker Peter Greenaway ("The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover; The Draughtsman's Contract") will release "Nightwatching," a feature-length study of the life and loves of the eighteenth-century Dutch painter, Rembrandt, via his controversial masterpiece, "The Night Watch," an ensemble painting which depicts the identification of a murderer. According to Greenaway, the painting is "Rembrandt's "J'accuse."" There is a conspiracy painted in Rembrandt's "The Night Watch." The sinister title of the painting alone suggests we should look for it . Is this a painting, or an act of theater, or a still from a film?" In this accompanying artist's book, Greenaway offers fans a glimpse into his own artistic process, with written analyses of each of the characters in the painting followed by a wealth of enlarged, close-up details in which brush marks practically jump from the page.

De Keuze Van Peter Greenaway Uit de Collecties Van Museum Boymans-Van Beuningen, Rotterdam

Simato, Griselda, Beryl, Giaconda, Palmira, Mio, Kito, Giuletta, Clothilde. Otte og en halv kvinde. Samlet i et harem på et slot i Schweiz af forretningsmanden Philip Emmenthal og hans søn, Storey. Efter et trygt, men ikke videre erotisk ægteskab er den velhavende mr. Emmenthal blevet alene. På sønnens opfordring beslutter han at udleve de lyster, han tidligere har lagt låg på. Men alt går ikke efter planen. Kvinderne lader sig ikke uden videre fastholde som stereotyper fostret af den mandlige fantasi. En løssluppen idé, men i Peter Greenaways intellektuelle og stramt æstetiske optik snarere et tankeeksperiment omkring kønsroller, sanselighed og seksualitet end et fuldbyrdet orgie. Originaltitel: 8 and a half Women.

8 Og en Halv Kvinde

The lives of two brothers working in a zoo are altered when their wives die in a car accident. One begins to obsessively photograph dead animals, while the crusades to set them free. A bizarre and unexpected story emerges.
