Softcover. Condition: Sehr gut. Z : 16 x 21,5 cm, 824 pages with 340 black-white and 460 colour illustrations thread-sewn softcover - I Seem to Live. The New York Diaries, 19502011 is Jonas Mekas's key literary work. The first volume of this magnum opus, covering the period from 1950-69, appears posthumously one year after his d…eath. It stands on an equal footing with his cinematic oeuvre, which he initially developed together with his brother Adolfas after their arrival in New York. In 1954, the two brothers founded Film Culture magazine, and in 1958 Jonas began writing a weekly column for The Village Voice. It was in this period that his writing, films, and unflagging commitment to art began to establish him as a pioneer of American avant-garde cinema and the barometer of the New York art scene.

Couverture souple. Condition: Comme neuf. 2ème Édition. Paris 2022. 1 Volume/1. -- Comme Neuf -- Broché . Format 28 x 22 cm. ------- 320 pages. Nombreuses illustrations. ********************* "" Un recueil épistolaire et photographique de Jonas et Adolfas Mekas. Ce livre magnifique et quelque peu mystérieux contient une collecti…on inédite de lettres que les célèbres frères Jonas et Adolfas Mekas ont envoyées, depuis les Etats-Unis, au village de Semenikiai (Lituanie). Toutes étaient adressées à la personne la plus importante de leur vie : Elzbieta Mekas, leur mère. Que s'écrit une famille séparée par la guerre ; deux frères d'un côté de l'océan et leur mère de l'autre ? Les lettres rassemblées dans ce livre, écrites entre 1957 et 1995, répondent à cette question. Accompagné de nombreuses photographies issues du quotidien des deux frères, ce livre illustre et contextualise leur vie aux États-Unis ainsi que leurs visites en Lituanie dans les années 1970. Les frères Mekas ont fui vers l'Ouest en 1944 et sont arrivés à New York en 1949, où ils sont tous deux devenus artistes. Alors que débutait la Guerre Froide, ils ont commencé à écrire des lettres à leur mère, rétablissant une connexion et un dialogue perdus depuis longtemps. Ligne(s) de vie montre deux vies évoluant en parallèle dans le monde libre et dans un pays occupé. Les lettres retracent un amour sincère et une reconnaissance permanente des deux fils envers leur mère, auxquelles s'ajoutent des observations sur le quotidien aux États-Unis et des références à leurs créations.
