In many of the thought-provoking stories in Broken Glass, author Herbert Spohn delves into the situations that people face that make them question their sense of self and how they cope with such challenges. In the title story, \"Broken Glass,\" a homeless man seeks to recover the image of his wife who was horribly disfigured and killed in an automobile accident. In \"Becoming an American,\" an immigrant youth gains both citizenship and maturity in World War II. A produce department manager tells how he learned to cope with blindness in \"Diary of a Blind Man.\" In \"Drunks,\" a recovering alcoholic faces a grave threat to his sobriety. Searching for the source of a death threat, a workaholic therapist finds something he lost in \"David Shore Ph.D.\" And \"Emalyne\" features a troubled young woman who takes her father, a renowned judge, to court on charges of molestation. Other stories tell of a daughter realizing too late that her father loved her, a boy acutely sensitive to other people's feelings, and a middle-aged man obsessed with a search for a long-lost love. Each of the tales in Broken Glass relays important life lessons and a profound ending that will leave you wanting more.
This rare Andy Warhol Orignal Vintage Lithograph Poster for an Italian Exhibition features "BATMAN -1964" by the world famous Pop artist Andy Warhol (1928 - 1987). The Pop Art poster is produced for an exhibition at the Museo Dell ' Automobile in Torino Italy in 1996/1997. The poster has the iconic figure of Batman on it. Andy Warhol directed Batman Dracula in 1964. It shows he was no less a visionary — and no less a Batman fan. Andy Warhol (1928-1987), son of Czech immigrants, began his career in advertising. He was mainly involved in designing record covers, weather maps for television and Christmas cards. In 1959 he exhibited his artwork for the first time at the Bodley Gallery in New York. He invented the simple but time-consuming technique of the 'blotted line' himself, with which he created his characteristic illustrations. In addition to the record cover of The Velvet Underground & Nico, the screen prints of Campbell's Soup and the portraits of Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, Jackie Kennedy and Elisabeth Taylor are now world famous. Warhol started making screen prints in 1962. This printing technique soon became his main method. In the same year, his studio 'The Factory' was set up in New York. With the help of employees, Warhol realized a high art production there, which indeed resembled a factory. With his method of mass production, Warhol approached art in a revolutionary way for the time. The idea of an original work of art was no longer applicable in his view. This very rare 1996-1997 original vintage large lithograph poster was printed in Italy for an exhibition at the Museo Dell ' Automobile in Torino Italy. It measures 27" W X 37.5" H.
