him firmly among the all-time greats of filmmaking.

Scorsese’s directorial debut was in 1963, with a movie he made while still a student at New York University. He achieved superstar status, not just for himself as a director but also for Robert de Niro as an actor, with the classic Taxi Driver in 1976. Since then, Scorsese’s name has become synonymous with movies that make the spine tingle–Raging Bull, Casino, The Departed—and of course, Goodfellas.

hen New York–based graphic designers and long-time friends Timothy Goodman and Jessica Walsh found

themselves single at the same time, they decided to try an

experiment. The old adage says that it takes 40 days to change a habit—could the same be said for love? So they agreed to date each other for 40 days, record their experiences in questionnaires, photographs, videos, texts, and artworks, and post the material on a website they would create for this purpose. What began as a small experiment between two friends became an Internet sensation, drawing 5 million unique (and obsessed) visitors from around the globe to their site and their

Prairie Cookbook Memories and Frontier Food from My Little House to Yours

by Melissa Gilbert ■

P h oto g r a P h s by Da n e h o lw e g e r

n My Prairie Cookbook, Melissa Gilbert, star of Little House on the Prairie, offers fans comforting family recipes and childhood favorites. From prairie breakfasts and picnic

lunches to treats inspired by Nellie’s restaurant, the 80 simple and delicious dishes—crispy

fried chicken, pot roasts, corn bread, apple pie, and more—present Bonnet Heads (diehard Little House fans) with the chance to eat like the Ingalls family. Gilbert’s personal recollections and memorabilia, including behind-the-scenes stories, anecdotes, and more than 75 treasured scrapbook images, accompany the recipes. With answers to the most-asked questions from fans—on topics including the biggest bloopers, on-set romances, and what Michael London was really like—My Prairie Cookbook is a cherished memento for Little House fans and fans of simple prairie cooking alike. Melissa Gilbert starred as Laura Ingalls on the hit show Little House on the Prairie. Post–Little House, Gilbert has appeared in Lifetime movies, served as president of the Screen Actors Guild, and wrote Prairie Tale: A Memoir. Most recently, she was a contestant on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars. Gilbert is married to fellow actor Timothy Busfield.

Black—a setting for camaraderie, drug smuggling, power struggles, and plot twists. And then there is the food. With 65 recipes, 20 sidebars that expand upon the fiction of the show, and 65 photographs from the show featuring favorite characters and memorable moments, Orange Is the New Black: The Cookbook adds new dimensions to any fan’s obsession. The recipes cover three square meals a day, plus snacks/sides, desserts, and drinks. They include Red’s Chicken Kiev, Miss Claudette’s

Coconut Cake, and Prison Punch. The sidebars include Taystee’s suggested prison reading list, the recipe for Red’s Homemade Homeopathic Remedies, and advice on how to throw an Orange Is the New Black dinner party. Chock full of in-depth information about the show, including recipe headnotes by the characters, DIY projects that emulate notable props, and prison factoids that help bring the show to life, this cookbook will bring a little piece of Litchfield right into your very own kitchen.

rom political activism comes the art of protest, symbols, and designs that defy standard definitions.

This timely book shows how objects can change the world by out-designing authority. Included are arts of rebellion from around the globe: banners, defaced currency, designs for barricades and blockades, political video games, an inflatable general assembly to facilitate consensus decision-making, experimental activist-bicycles, and textiles bearing witness to political murders—along with earlier inspirational objects of protest such as a suffragette tea set and the barricades and balloons of the Paris Commune. Disobedient Objects focuses on the period from 1980 to the present, a time that brought new technologies and political challenges to protest movements. Provocative and engaging, this book showcases how artists have produced work within the context of social movements, which become the vibrant engines for ingenuity and collective creativity. Catherine Flood is a curator in the Word and Image Department at the Victoria and Albert Museum. Gavin Grindon is visiting research fellow at the V&A and postdoctoral fellow in Visual and Material Culture at Kingston University, London.

he dollhouse is both subversive and seductive. Dollhouses provide a microcosmic view of the

9 781851 778195

world and preserve vanished aspects of daily life and

culture. But they also present an idealized version of life, sometimes airbrushing out the more basic and functional elements of everyday living. This new volume uses the dollhouse’s contradictions to explore interior design, new technology, professions, and family relationships, considering such topics as the role of the domestic servant and the gendering of spaces and household roles. The V&A Museum of Childhood’s collection of dollhouses, representing homes and ways of living spanning three and a half centuries, provides the backdrop for these tales. For collectors and casual fans alike, the tiny rooms of dollhouses hold many stories. Halina Pasierbska, former curator of the Bethnal Green Museum of Childhood, has researched the history of the dollhouse and its furnishings for a number of years.

his fascinating book explores Italian fashion at the beginning of the 20th century, tracing its growth through two world wars to emerge as a dominant

force in global fashion. When the Lombard tailor Rosa Genoni created the first

Italian fashion house, she broke free of the prevailing French style and launched a national industry. Illustrated with archival material from the design houses as well as illustrations from the earliest Italian fashion magazines, the book focuses on the most important designers from the period: Gabriella di Robilant, the Italian “inventor” of sportswear; Salvatore Ferragamo and his famous orthopedic shoes; and Elsa Schiaparelli, the first great protagonist of Italian style. These are the designers who shaped Italian fashion, and their influence continues to be felt today. Sofia Gnoli is a fashion historian and journalist who teaches history of fashion at La Sapienza Universitá di Roma.

ARt orn in Germany in 1945, Anselm Kiefer is one of the most important artists of his generation. His

works—encompassing and transcending painting, sculpture,

photography, and installation—are epic in both scale and subject matter; in them, Kiefer wrestles with the darkness of German history, unearthing the taboos that underlie the collective past and interweaving them with Teutonic mythology, cosmology, and meditations on the nature of belief.

eter Paul Rubens (1577–1640) is undoubtedly the most influential of all Flemish painters. Himself indebted to Titian, Rubens

became a role model to Van Dyck, Rembrandt, and Velázquez, and influenced artists well beyond his time, including figures such as

Cézanne, Picasso, Bacon, and Freud. This sumptuous new volume explores Rubens’s legacy thematically, through a series of sections devoted to violence, power, lust, compassion, elegance, and poetry. Each section will link artists across the centuries in their references to Rubens, from Van Dyck and Watteau to Manet, Daumier, Renoir, and Van Gogh, as well as Gainsborough, Constable, and Turner.

The importance of this work, which is being acquired by Tate, has been widely acknowledged in exhibitions ranging from Documenta XI, Kassel, in 2002 to Intense Proximity: La Triennale, Paris in 2012. Contributions by leading scholars place the work in the context of the artist’s oeurvre, art history, and museology. Kerryn Greenberg is curator (International Art) at Tate Modern.
