The incredible untold story of Katherine G. Johnson (Taraji P. Henson), Dorothy Vaughan (Octavia Spencer) and Mary Jackson (Janelle Mone) - brilliant African-American women working at NASA, who served as the brains behind one of the greatest operations in history: the launch of astronaut John Glenn into orbit, a stunning achievement that restored the nation's confidence, turned around the Space Race, and galvanized the world. The visionary trio crossed all gender and race lines to inspire generations to dream big. The film was nominated for two Golden Globe Awards for Best Performance By an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture (Spencer) and Best Original Score - Motion Picture (Hans Zimmer/Benjamin Wallfisch/Pharrell Williams), and three Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Supporting Actress (Spencer).
Straddling the worlds of fine art, street art and hip-hop, name-dropped on many a rap song, and collected by the likes of Jay-Z and LeBron James, Hebru is a painter, sculptor and designer. He first gained attention as a graffiti artist, tagging walls with colourful depictions of Flyboy a child donning aviator goggles all over the Windy City. Fast-forward to 2021 and his creations, profoundly influenced by Disney and Japanese Super-Flat, are now in museums, as well as in branded goods for A Bathing Ape, Billionaire Boys Club, Adidas Originals, KITH, Neighborhood and a host of other sought-after labels. At the heart of Hebru s work is restoring innocence to the depiction of black youth, often forced into adulthood before their time in the eyes of the law and popular media. Upbeat and life-affirming, Brantley s work not only attempts to normalize images of black children at play, but in his creation of black superheroes, even suggests an entirely new mythology in a cultural landscape often devoid of positive examples. This book will feature the breadth of Hebru s work so far, and is the first monograph on his work. Set out in two parts, this work will examine both the fine art and applied art nature of his work, with both his paintings and his streetwear collaborations receiving pride of place in the design of the book by prominent graphic designer Oliver Munday, currently the art director of The Atlantic Monthly.
An essential, inspiring collection of quotations about creativity, social justice, and more from musician, producer, artist, and designer Pharrell Williams Rising to global fame with his hit single “Happy,” Pharrell Williams has influenced every corner of music, from cowriting and producing the monumental track “Alright” with Kendrick Lamar to composing music for the Academy Award–winning film Hidden Figures. But his work also extends to fashion, design, and the visual arts, and he has collaborated with leading artists and designers, including Takashi Murakami, Daniel Arsham, and Comme des Garçons. Gathered from interviews and other sources, this compelling and provocative collection of quotations offers new insights into the personality and creative process of one of today’s most exciting and intriguing artists. Select quotations from the book: Self-awareness is a muscle that needs exercise. It needs a regimen. You’ve got to continue to reinvent yourself today, all the while thinking about tomorrow. Music is the key, the skeleton key that’s opened every door for me. There is no humanity without education. There is no education without demand. The only way to make life better for yourself, the only true and lasting way, is to make life better for others.
