Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. "An 'artist's book' in the best sense of that term, with the touch of the artist who created it palpable everywhere in its pages." Leonard S. Marcus Conveys a materiality that leaps off the printed page Galerie Magazine A Seed Takes Root: A True Story, by acclaimed artist Michele Oka Doner, is an homage to the natural world and to one very special banyan tree in particular.A Seed Takes Root describes a decades-long relationship between the author and a banyan tree that begins when the author is a young girl. For her, the tree is a place for play, for refuge, and also a source of inspiration. While this is a true story of one tree and one girl/woman/artist that celebrates a particular banyan tree, it is also a testament to the quiet power shared by all trees. Further, this beautifully told story is not only of the relationship between an artist and a tree, but is a strong environmental statement made more effective by being non-polemical. The banyan tree featured in the book is in the process of being designated a City of Miami Beach heritage tree. In 2021, Michele Oka Doner was officially proclaimed guardian of the ninety-five-year-old banyan tree by the City of Miami Beach. A book and work of art that defies classification, A Seed Takes Root is simultaneously an art book, a poetic meditation, a memoir, a fable, and a tale suitable for children and for readers of all ages.

NOW IN TRADE EDITION! *50 Books | 50 Covers AIGA (American Institute of Graphic Arts), Winner, Book Category *Official Selection Award of the 10th Edition of the Festival International du Livre DArt et du Film Both an architecture and movie fans dream (LA Times), this strikingly designed (Publishers Weekly) and handsome tome (The Hollywood Reporter) sets out to answer the question we haven't stopped asking: Why do bad guys live in good houses? Big-screen villains often live in architectural splendor. From a design standpoint, the villains lair, as popularized in many of our favorite movies, is a stunning, sophisticated, envy-inducing expression of the warped drives and desires of its occupant. In Lair, which appreciates and celebrates all things villain, pop culture and architecture join forces in these outlandish homes. From futuristic fantasies to deathtrap-laden hives, from dwellings in space to those under the sea, Lair features villains homes from fifteen films, including Dr. Strangelove, The Incredibles, Blade Runner 2049, You Only Live Twice, The Spy Who Loved Me, and Ex Machina. The award-winning book, with silver ink printed on luxurious black paper, explores the architectural design of these structures through architectural illustrations and renderings, photographs, essays, film analyses, interviews, and more. Highlights include interviews with production designers, directors, and other industry professionals such as Ralph Eggleston, Mark Digby, Richard Donner, Roger Christian, David Scheunemann, and Gregg Henry, along with excerpts from an oral history with the late architect John Lautner. Editorial contributors include Chad Oppenheim, Michael Mann, Sir Christopher Frayling, Joseph Rosa, Amy Murphy, Andrea Gollin, and Phillip Valys. Architectural illustrations and renderings are by Carlos Fueyo. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
