This catalogue accompanied the first American museum retrospective of the English artist Francis Bacon. In his essay, Senior Curator Lawrence Alloway explores the essence of Bacon's painting beyond the usual associations with the grotesque. Instead, he offers a different argument: Bacon was a realist painter of his time, closely tied into the Grand Manner and painters such as Manet, Van Gogh, Velasquez, and Titian. Bacon continued and evolved the central tradition of European figure painting at a time when abstraction was dominating the art world. Also included are an exhibition checklist, 64 color and black-and-white reproductions, and a bibliography.
A gripping medieval adventure story, bristling with sparkling wit and highly acclaimed in Germany for its 'almost unbearable suspense'. Shortlisted for the prestigious German Youth Literature Prize.
Zinaida Hippius, who died in 1945atthe age of 76, was a poet, novelist, and essayist. Her works had a remarkable impact upon the spiritual and cultural life of St. Petersburg and Paris during the first two decades of the twentieth century, the Silver Age of Russian poetry. In Soviet publications today, however, she is called a "Decadent," a counterrevolutionary, and an enemy of Communist society. Miss Pachmuss's brilliantly perceptive and thoroughly scholarly study makes an important contribution to the study of Russian literature and cultural movements. Against the background of late nineteenth-century literary and intellectual life, Miss Pachmuss explores the cultural ferment out of which Russian Symbolism emerged. It was in this sphere, she shows, that Hippius found personal identity, and of which she became an exponent, exemplifying in her own work that bond between religion, poetry, and mystical sensuality that characterized Russian literature in those years.
