'Over 20 films. Over 40 years. What collaboration in any medium has
lasted so long, been so successful, so personal, so happy? Read
this wonderfully entertaining book: a unique story of a unique life
in the world of world cinema' WES ANDERSON 'Jim is as eloquent and
elegant with words as with the camera; here are almost a series of
short stories of his life, vivid snapshots, told with an exacting
eye. Every sentence is filled with his wry cadence, guided by his
appreciation of things beautiful, amusing and unusual. We take the
tour of his life which has as fascinating a cast and is set in
locations as far flung and exotic as his films - except with way
more sex. Read it and drink it in!' HELENA BONHAM CARTER 'Ivory is
full of candour and randiness...[this] book will open the eyes,
often very wide' The Times --------------- In Solid Ivory, a
carefully crafted mosaic of memories, portraits, and reflections,
the Academy Award-winning filmmaker James Ivory, a partner in the
legendary Merchant Ivory Productions and the director of A Room
with a View, Howards End, Maurice, and The Remains of the Day,
tells stories from his remarkable life and career as one of the
most influential directors of his time. At times, he touches on his
love affairs, looking back coolly and with unexpected frankness.
From first meeting his collaborator and life partner, Ismail
Merchant, at the Indian Consulate in New York to winning an Academy
Award at age eighty-nine for Call Me by Your Name; from seeing his
first film at age five in Klamath Falls, Oregon, to memories of
Satyajit Ray, Jean Renoir, The New Yorker magazine's film critic
Pauline Kael (his longtime enemy), Vanessa Redgrave, J.D. Salinger,
George Cukor, Kenneth Clark, Bruce Chatwin, Ruth Prawer Jhabvala,
and Merchant, Ivory writes with invariable fluency, wit, and
perception about what made him who he is and how he made the movies
for which he is known and loved. Solid Ivory, edited by Peter
Cameron, is an utterly winning portrait of an extraordinary life
told by an unmatched storyteller.
The subject of writing and receiving letters, which recurs
frequently in the work of Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675), is given
dramatic tension in this masterful painting of two women in a
mysterious moment of crisis. The artist seldom, if ever, surpassed
the subtly varied effects of light seen here as it gleams from the
pearl jewellery, sparkles from the glass and silver objects on the
table, and falls softly over the figures in their shadowy setting.
The Frick Diptych series sparks a dialogue between creative spirits
and art historians, promising new insights into some of the Frick's
most famous masterpieces. The third volume, to be published in
2019, will have a contribution by author Edmund de Waal on a pair
of porcelain and bronze candlesticks by the 18th-century French
metalworker Pierre Gouthiere.
