A characteristic of 20th- and 21st-century artistic production is
that casual acquaintances and close intimates, friends, lovers, or
sometimes even rivals come together to work collaboratively on the
realization of a single work of art. Amitie et creativites
collectives is focused on the genesis of these works and explores
the conditions that contributed to the concentration and liberation
of these creative energies. Beginning with the groundbreaking
socio-cultural upheaval of the 19th century, the publication
examines for the first time a variety of works of diverse genres
and techniques from different time periods. Featuring works by
Salvador Dali and Luis Bunuel, Francis Picabia and Rene Clair, Jean
Tinguely and Yves Klein, William Burroughs and Brion Gysin, Jenny
Holzer and Lady Pink; and many more, this publication. brings
together more than one hundred works.

This book, originally published in Italian, is a leading
biographical study of the greatest composer of late Renaissance and
early Baroque Italy. Monteverdi's contribution to secular, sacred
and theatrical music in the period was unparalleled: his madrigals,
church music and operas remain very much alive today. A large
number of contemporary documents, including some 130 of his own
letters, offer rich insights into the composer and his times, also
illuminating the many and varied contexts for music making in the
most important musical centres in Italy. Fabbri uses these
documents and other sources to present a rich narrative focusing on
a composer who has perhaps rightly been called the 'father of
modern music'. This translation brings an indispensable text to a
much broader readership, providing a vivid picture of a fascinating
period in music history.
