He was the son of James Wright, who won the Pulitzer for poetry in 1972. Franz wrote bluntly about addiction and illness, and his recent collaboration with composer/musician David Sylvian (of Japan fame) captured a raw, human quality that managed, like an Uta Barth photograph, to find beauty in the small observations of the body and mind from moment to moment. Wright won the Pulitzer in 2004. He was working on a new book at the time of his death.

From the editorial review on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Kingdom-Dreams-Madness-Hayao-Miyazaki/dp/B00OHLR4JS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1429024742&sr=8-1&keywords=kingdom+of+madness">Amazon</a>: "Granted near-unfettered access to the notoriously insular
Studio Ghibli, director Mami Sunada follows the three men who are the lifeblood
of Ghibli the eminent director Hayao Miyazaki, the producer Toshio Suzuki, and
the elusive and influential other director Isao Takahata over the course of a
year as the studio rushes to complete two films, Miyazaki s <i>The Wind Rises</i> and
Takahata s <i>The Tale of The Princess Kaguya</i>. The result is a rare fly on the
wall glimpse of the inner workings of one of the world s most celebrated
animation studios creators of successful films including Princess Mononoke and
the Oscar winning Spirited Away, the highest-grossing Japanese film of all time
and an insight into the dreams, passion and singular dedication of these
remarkable creators." US readers can now stream the film on Netflix. Enjoy!</span><br />

The <a href="http://www.sixdrummers.com/">Six Drummers</a> are a group of artists who "want to challenge the preconceptions of music and explore the boundaries between sound, music and image." Their work is a genius cocktail of performance art, music, and filmmaking. <i>Apartment</i> was nominated for a Palme d'Or at Cannes and the group followed up with a feature film, <i>Sound of Noise</i>, in 2010. The female lead in both films is actress/musician <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1133009/?ref_=tt_ov_st">Sanna Persson</a>. Enjoy!</span><br />

In an interesting twist to live-movie accompaniment the opera cast will be singing the dialog! Bava's cult-classic is an operatic, gaudy vision that I think will translate beautifully to this form of presentation. If you think it might be strange to hear Christopher Lee's dialog sung, remember he was dubbed by another actor for the English-language cut of the film anyway! Don't miss it if you are in the LA area. More info <a href="http://www.laopera.org/hercules">here</a>. </span><div>

Inspired by the original novel by Walter Tevis (David Bowie starred in the 1976 film adaptation), Mr. Bowie has also written new music as well as new arrangements of previously recorded tunes for the production.

His field recordings and books represent an important body of work for musicologists, folklorists, and fans of the Blues. He passed away last week at the age of 85. NPR's Fresh Air celebrated Charters with a re-broadcast of his 20-min interview with Terry Gross from 1987, which included great stories about Lightnin' Hopkins and about navigating institutionalized racism during his recording trips. Listen to the program and see the transcript <a href="http://www.npr.org/2015/03/20/394277831/fresh-air-remembers-blues-and-jazz-historian-samuel-charters">here</a>. <i>New York Times</i> obituary <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/19/arts/music/samuel-charters-foundational-scholar-of-the-blues-dies-at-85.html?_r=0">here</a>.

Pressed as a double 12" album, the record will be available on <a href="http://recordstoreday.com/SpecialRelease/7843">Record Store Day</a> April 18th, 2015. From the Press Release: "First time on vinyl for legendary ‘lost’ Brian Eno album <i>My
Squelchy Life</i>. Originally slated for release on Warner Bros in September 1991
and pulled from the schedules at the last moment, in subsequent years it has
been heavily bootlegged and entered the lexicon of Eno myth. In 2014 it
received an official release as the bonus disc to the expanded <i>All Saints
</i>edition of follow-up album <i>Nerve Net</i>. For this exclusive Record Store Day
edition it is presented in a deluxe gatefold vinyl edition, including an additional
track from the same recording session, “Rapid Eye”, that has never been heard
before."</span><br />

Based on a 2014 retrospective at Ohio State University, <i>Exploring Calvin and Hobbes</i> also includes interviews, Watterson's original syndicate proposal page, and photographs of the artist's studio. <i>Calvin and Hobbes</i> ran from 1985 to 1995 and set a new standard for writing, art, and artist rights in the field of comic strips.

Based on the premise of what an X-Men film would look like under Anderson's direction, Willems managed to capture much of the auteur's artistic stamp and movie conventions. Check it out below. Enjoy!</span><br />

Choosing Darth Vader as a theme for a platform show, they procured 100 prop replicas of the Dark Lord's helmet and invited artists from around the world to contribute their customized designs. The group included many heroes from the Pop Surrealist/Lowbrow movement like Josh Agle (Shag), Gary Baseman, Tim Biskup, Ron English, Paul Frank, Jesse Hernandez, Sun-MinKim, David Horvath, Joe Ledbetter, Tokidoki, Ragnar, Secret Base, and Amanda Visell. The helmets traveled to eight exhibitions between 2007 and 2010. A full-color catalog is available at the project website.

Born on this day in 1920, Fellini transitioned through the Italian Neo-Realism movement to revolutionize cinema by freely weaving memory, dream, and fantasy into film narrative. Essential works: <i>La Strada, La Dolce Vita, 8 1/2, Juliet of the Spirits, Amarcord</i>. Below: the director on the set of <i>8 1/2</i> (1963).

Like many teenagers in early
1960s England, Bowie was
inspired by American blues and R&B. He took up the saxophone and guitar and
formed a string of bands that played blues and rock covers for parties and
local entertainment. As a keen student of graphic design, art, and mime (!),
his Mod beginnings transformed over the years as he explored areas of musical
and theatrical production that we can now recognize as genre-defining outings (1960s Mod, folk-poet, 1970s glam, soul, experimental avant-garde, electronic,
dance, 1980s pop, cyber punk, jungle, etc). If an artist is always in the state
of becoming, Bowie has spent a lifetime pioneering the outer limits and sending
back transmissions of things to come.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">David Bowie stayed in the fast lane for forty years,
releasing albums and pursuing his acting career, until a heart attack on stage
in 2004 made him take stock. There was a nine-year hiatus with few appearances,
and it looked like the limelight had been traded for quality time as a
stay-at-home dad. He surprised everyone in 2013, however, with
an outstanding new album called <i>The Next Day</i>, which was released during a flurry of Bowie-related art shows and a
massive retrospective at the Victoria & Albert Museum. The V&A exhibit celebrating his career in
music, fashion, graphic arts, fine art, and set design was captured in the illustrated
book <span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;"><i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/David-Bowie-Is-Victoria-Broackes/dp/1851777377/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1389222692&sr=8-7&keywords=david+bowie">David Bowie Is</a></i></span>. Now Bowie is 68- many happy returns! If his health is up to
it, I hope to see him back on stage and recording new material. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Collage illustration below by IFAN BATES.</span><br />

Born on this day in 1941, Miyazaki has become one of the most respected artists in Japan. The film director and comic creator has an unparalleled gift at writing strong female characters and his ability to weave magic realism (and often environmentalism) into deep coming-of-age stories has made him the most beloved storyteller around the world. Suggested viewing: My Neighbor Totoro, Spirited Away, Kiki's Delivery Service, Howls Moving Castle. Collage below: key female characters from Miyazaki's most celebrated projects.
