The Dancer: Degas, Forain, Toulouse-Lautrec

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Artists in late nineteenth-century France produced some of Europe`s most celebrated and revolutionary works of art. Among those innovators are Edgar Degas, Jean-Louis Forain, and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, who captured the renowned dancers of Paris in paintings, pastels, drawings, prints, and sculptures, creating potent icons of a unique time, place, and culture. Each sought to portray rapidly changing urban life, concentrating on the human figure in its social context. The dancer proved to be a fruitful subject for their investigations of modernity. Degas focused on the artifice of the performance and the harsh daily life of the dancer. Drawing on his background as a newspaper illustrator, Forain`s vignettes focus on backstage flirtations between social unequals, especially their exploitative aspects. By contrast, Lautrec`s paintings, prints, and posters of celebrity dancers reveal his uncritical acceptance of the sexual commerce that was part of the popular entertainment scene of… [detailed...]

The powerful Boston Brahmins at Harvard College are fighting to keep Dante in obscurity, believing that the infiltration of foreign superstitions into American minds will prove as corrupting as the immigrants arriving at Boston Harbor. The members of the Dante Club fight to keep a sacred literary cause alive, but their plans fall apart when a series of murders erupts through Boston and Cambridge. Only this small group of scholars realizes that the gruesome killings are modeled on the descriptions of Hell’s punishments from Dante’s Inferno…. [detailed...]

The Danteum

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionIn 1938, Mussolini`s Fascist government commissioned the team of Giuseppe Terragni and Pietro Lingeri to design the Danteum, a `temple to the greatest of Italian poets.` In this acclaimed book, Thomas Shumacher traces Terragni`s fanatical, often mystical, pursuit of the poet and explains how this unbuilt project succeeds as an architectural translation of the Divine Comedy -- one that mirrors the poem in structure, theme, and rhythm. Original sketches and renderings complement Schumacher`s analysis and provide a complete record of the Danteum. `The Danteum [is a] beautifully presented book [that] invites us to study the Danteum in its entirety….The book demonstrates that architecture can transcend the realm of the physical, Schumacher`s Danteum brings together different moments of history into one timeless and universal whole.` -Progressive Architecture `The most penetrating study of Terragni`s architecture to appear in English to date….The fact that the Danteum… [detailed...]

But since Dora is a computer-albeit a sentient computer-she cannot experience touch, taste and true desire. Dora`s logic functions refuse to accept this, so she uses the advanced technology of the 24th century to build herself a body specifically crafted to appeal to Zical, and downloads her computer brain into it. But Dora`s sassy attitude makes her too different from the women of Zical`s culture. He`s attracted to Dora, but he won`t make love to her. And while it would be easy for Dora to adapt to his desires, she likes being smart and funny, she`s becoming good at being human. When Zical accidentally summons the ancient machines that protect the galaxy from invasion, Dora`s mission is to intercept them and bring them back to the galaxy`s rim. Fortunately for Dora, this puts her and Zical into very close quarters for a very long time…. [detailed...]
