Art And Celebrity John A. Walker
 Book DescriptionThe uneasy crossover between art and celebrity has been much discussed in recent years. Artists as celebrities is hardly a new phenomenon, but the growing cult of celebrity in contemporary culture is throwing up paradoxical ideas about the contradictions between "high" art and mass appeal and blurring the already unstable boundaries between art, commodity and popular culture.

The Barbed Wire: Pow In The U.s.a. Gerhard G. Hennes
 Book DescriptionA young soldier captured during World War II is sent to a prisoner of war camp in a small town, where he stays until the German surrender.
