Rose Window - Rennie Mackintosh (large print)
by RnibThis page shows a stained glass window based on a design by Scottish architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. This window panel is made from leaded stained glass. This technique uses pieces of coloured glass held together by thin strips of lead. At the top left of the design is a stylised rose flower with red and pink petals. It is constructed of overlapping curves and at its centre is a grid of small rectangles. The stem of the rose is represented by an oval shape, which curves down from the rose shape to the bottom of the image then up right and then left to the top of the rose. Across the centre of the image is a horizontal band with horizontal lines to the left and right. The background of the design is very pale green and the band is coloured pale mauve with a green section where the stem crosses the band on the left and a blue section on the right. Mackintosh lived from 1868 to 1928. He was connected to both the Arts and Crafts, and the Art Nouveau movements although his very distinctive graceful and elegant style in some ways foreshadows the later modern style of Art Deco.

Rosemary's Baby (BFI Film Classics)
by Michael NewtonRosemary's Baby is one of the greatest movies of the late 1960s and one of the best of all horror movies, an outstanding modern Gothic tale. An art-house fable and an elegant popular entertainment, it finds its home on the cusp between a cinema of sentiment and one of sensation. Michael Newton's study of the film traces its development at a time when Hollywood stood poised between the old world and the new, its dominance threatened by the rise of TV and cultural change, and the roles played variously by super producer Robert Evans, the film's producer William Castle, director Polanski and its stars including Mia Farrow and John Cassavetes. Newton's close textual analysis explores the film's meanings and resonances, and, looking beyond the film itself, he examines its reception and cultural impact, and its afterlife, in which Rosemary's Baby has become linked with the terrible murder of Polanski's wife and unborn child by members of the Manson cult, and with controversies surrounding the director.

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead: Downloadable Response Journal (Tom Stoppard Ser.)
by Tom StoppardRosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead is a play which, as it were, takes place in the wings of Hamlet, and finds both humour and poignancy in the situation of the ill-fated attendant lords. The National Theatre production in April 1967 made Tom Stoppard's reputation virtually overnight. Its wit, stagecraft and verbal verve remain as exhilarating as they were then and the play has become a contemporary classic.'One of the most original and engaging of post-war plays.' Daily Telegraph
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, Jumpers, and The Real Thing: Text and Performance (Text and Performance)
by Robert GordonVery few modern plays have generated as much excitement in the theatre as Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, Jumpers and The Real Thing. Are they merely witty entertainments or do they demand consideration as serious works of dramatic art? The metatheatrical form of each of the plays is shown to reflect Stoppard's view that the human race has suffered an irreversible fall from grace. Part I analyses how philosophical themes are articulated through the travesty of clichd literary and theatrical forms. Part II evokes a sense of the dazzling comic experience created by the first performance of each play.
Rosie Sanders' Roses: A celebration in botanical art
by Rosie SandersAward-winning and hugely popular artist Rosie Sanders showcases the beauty of the rose in her follow up to Rosie Sanders Flowers. Over 80 stunning paintings and sketches are shown for the first time. The artist writes a personal letter on each of her rose paintings (to be given unopened to the final recipient or buyer of the painting). Many of these personal letters sit alongside the paintings, as they explain the creative and emotional process she went through to create it. The book is a revealing insight into the artist's muse and the author's sketches and drawings are also included to show the full artistic process. The book is introduced by an extended essay on the resonance of the rose – all across the world – in our art, literature, poetry, folklore and gardens. The rose emblem is timeless and this book not only celebrates its beauty in art but tells the story of the rose as one of nature's most powerful motifs.
