Terry Jones

    1 februari 1942 – 21 januari 2020

Hij gebruikt zijn unieke perspectief om gedenkwaardige personages en situaties te creëren die lezers aanzetten tot nadenken. Zijn stijl wordt gekenmerkt door een speels taalgebruik en onverwachte wendingen.

      This is the script of the film which looks at what life is really all about, which featured the whole Monty Python team and was directed by Terry Jones This is a fully illustrated edition of the hilarious Python classic, which takes a pop at almost every single sacred cow of culture and includes the famous tune "Every Sperm is Sacred." Although primarily aimed at an audience of fish, Monty Python's film, The Meaning of Life, spans the whole range of human experience. It starts with the birth of a seemingly insignificant human being (especially from a haddock's point of view) who, sure enough turns out to play no further part in the film.

    • This is a reproduction of the diary of Lady Angelica Cottingham, which features pressed garden fairies. Or rather the psychic images of the fairies, who quickly turned it into a game, where they leapt between the closing pages in an effort to outdo each other to produce the most outrageous poses.

    • Als einer der intellektuellsten Designer der Modebranche entwirft Yohji Yamamoto Kleidung, die manchmal etwas verkopft wirkt. Doch immer ist sie wunderschön. Die Archive des Londoner Magazins i-D bieten einen Einblick in Yohjis Gedankenwelt seit 1981, als er und Rei Kawakubo einen neuen, düsteren Japan-Chic propagierten. Es geht um seine Bewunderung für Meisterschneider, den schmerzhaften Prozess, durch den Mode zur Anti-Mode wird, und um die Frage, wie er es schafft, dass seine Entwürfe zugleich zeitlos und avantgardistisch sind. Der 120-Seiten-Band enthält biografische und persönliche Informationen zu diesem Ausnahmedesigner, fotografische Extravaganzen von Paolo Roversi, Max Vadukul und Nick Knight sowie Yamamoto-Interviews von Jamie Huckbody, Holly Shackleton und Terry Jones. Wer also wissen will, was die 80er mit den 2010ern verbindet (und was sie scharf trennt), wird um dieses Buch nicht herumkommen. P. S.: Sie finden, Schwarz-Weiss-Rot sieht nach Bauhaus aus? Findet Yohji auch.

      A Field Guide to Goblins

      Earthy, enigmatic, and--until now--elusive, the goblin is little known and even less well understood.

This is a definitive, profusely illustrated field guide to the goblin world, annotated by Terry Jones, Monty Python professor emeritus of Obscure, Absurd and Truly Hilarious Arts. Full-color illustrations.
