The picture or the life of artist

Meanwhile Rober Capa , Susana HEAVY

The inspiring story of the short life of the companion of Robert Capa, the photographer Gerta Taro .

A young man, white shirt, bandolier belt and the gun in hand, rolling down a hill and thrown back, in a final movement, arrested at full speed by the impact of a bullet. Everyone has this picture in mind of Robert Capa not only because it represents the ultimate moment of death of a man and the horror of war but also because it was controversial: some argue that it is only staging. Capa subsequently take thousands of photos and will of all conflicts, using his camera as a weapon against the oppressor. Then he founded, with others, the Magnum agency. But this picture is one that can go anywhere and that will haunt him forever.

It took a lot of courage to go to Spain during the civil war was raging. It is precisely for this clash between soldiers Republicans Franco's militias and that this shot was taken. He had more courage even when one was a woman. For more than life Capa is one of Gerta Pohorylle that tells Susanna STRONG. Gerta, a young Polish Jewish émigré, revolves in Parisian intellectual circles. There she met another Jewish refugee, Andrew Friedman, and falls in love with the impetuous young photographer and skinned. It will teach him photography, she learns to manage his image. Together they create the character of Robert Capa, supposedly known American photographer, who will eventually become permanent identity of Andre Friedman. Gerta itself took the name of Gerta Taro. And together, they will leave Spain, see up close the war which caused so many victims. "When I think of all the wonderful people who died during that war, Greta wrote in his diary on the morning of his death, I feel, one way or another, that it is not just that I'm still alive ".
Gerta and Robert are madly in love and yet, motivated both by a terrible need for independence, they often leave for better return. Except once, last ...
"The character of Robert Capa had already caught my attention, relates in his afterword, the English novelist (...) More than once I thought of writing something about his life. It seemed to me that this country, Spain, owed him at least a novel. He owed them for both. For me it was a conviction, as if he was indebted to them ". Behind the beautiful love story in question, raised by a write sober and touching the second world war looming, anti-Semitism that exists already in all of Europe. There is talk also of course the English war, which was so little about and which has attracted so little reaction from neighboring countries at the time. Above it comes to men and women who fought against fascism, which have all their lives defending their ideals and who thought that a good photograph, the most telling testimony of the horror of the world was worth living.

Torturing the artist! Joey GOEBEL

Burn your houses, do you drop, fall sick become creative!

Of what unites the greatest artists, the suffering, whether physical or psychological, is a recurrence. It often creates to fill a gap, to express unhappiness, to win against time, against death. So why not give a small boost to fate by putting everything in place to ensure that an artist finds himself faced with many difficult situations, difficult to live and thereby enable it to achieve great things ? This is the challenge - debatable! - Is trying to win the New Renaissance. Toy a powerful industrial society of the spectacle, this secret organization intends to raise the level of mass culture by putting on the market for artists capable of creating powerful and popular works. To do this, open a new Renaissance Academy for the training of child prodigies. And so qu'Harlan met the young Vincent. Officially, Harlan was his manager but in reality it is mainly there to prevent him from becoming happy. And away from his family, killing his dog by setting fire to his house ... Sowing the pain to collect masterpieces ... The

novel tells the story of Vincent in this career that others have decided for him. And it works: the more sad, disappointed by life and by others, it is more creative. Songs, screenplays, television series: everything he does eventually reach a wide audience and enhances the level of American culture is ridden with action films with big budgets and stars Latino buxom ( JLo, if you look at us ...). As you can imagine, the tone is somewhat offset by the author and great fun to play satirizes the entertainment industry, vain and immoral. A book light enough but sometimes, by the effects a little easier and, ultimately, from too much sentimentality, look at what he claimed to criticize.

How Much Do Nba Court Sweepers Make

Who Killed Miss Mini? Sad Clown

little sister, my love , Joyce Carol Oates

After Blonde , where she tackled the myth of Marilyn Monroe, Joyce Carol Oates offers a saga lectures inspired by the murder of a little girl, the United States in the 90s.

You remember, perhaps, like me, this incident has toured the world on Christmas Eve 1996, Jonbenet Rampsey little girl of 6 years, specialist assistance of Miss Mini, was murdered and found several hours later in the cellar of his house. We remember the images broadcast by the media showing a rampaging child and peroxidized brushinguée, strapped in low-necked dresses, makeup and carefully executing a few dance steps or singing a sexy sultry voice a "God Bless America" intended to charm the jury. He had the audacity and talent of Joyce Carol Oates for daring to tackle such a subject and especially to reach do not a thriller but a scabrous novel grandiose and intense breath from beginning to end.
The view chosen is Skyler Rampike, the little brother of victim, the little boy who grimaced at the edges of photos allegedly showing the happiness of the family Rampike, as if about to fall. The boy is now 19 years and is preparing to mark the sad anniversary of ten years of the death of his sister. Lost, lonely, drugged, he tries to tell a story abounding and unstructured greatness and decline of the family Rampike. His book is it an investigation, a catharsis, a confession? We will not know until the end. More
that the girl is probably his mother, Betsey, the protagonist of the book. A woman complexed, nervous and depressed and suffers from not being able to fit into the small American town in which the family moved Rampike. She dreams of making friends size 38 (although it sadly does not fit in a size 44), into the clubs for the region and get invited to Christmas its richer neighbors. But nobody cares about the poor Betsey Rampike until her daughter, Edna Louise small, whiny baby came too soon that Betsey has always strongly disinterested, shows a talent for ... skating. For Joyce Carol Oates has made his character a little skater. Mom Rampsey renames child Bliss ("like a horny pop star" says his brother) and will stop at nothing to advance his career: daily training, hair bleaching, stitching required, hiring a choreographer during modeling and mixes especially doctors, therapists and medications of all kinds. The father Bix Rampike, young manager very dynamic, charming, and authoritarian unfaithful follows far the career of his daughter. A macho bastard, who sometimes overcome with a sudden sense of guilt, the evidence multiplies ostentatious love for his family, before disappearing again (separation? Business trip? Skyler never know very well). And Skyler, the "small man of her mother" is relegated to witness the amazing performance of her sister and suffering of the little girl. Bliss because, when not in the spotlight is a little girl anxious that pees the bed and is unable to learn to read.

The subjects of this book are stolen childhood of a girl bullied by a narcissistic mother and her older brother sacrificed (in many ways ...) but also the story of a puritanical America terribly hypocritical and perfectly guided by propriety and appearances, a company who calls Jesus all the time but stuns his children drug expected to pay for them.
And then there's the ending ... as Joyce Carol Oates imagines a terrible explanation for this unsolved case. A story about the cruelty ordinary extraordinary by an author.

Message On Christening

Man-Alphabet Richard GROSSMAN

A thriller writing feverish ends up tired.

Clyde Wayne Franklin has any passion for a U.S. company eager to spectacular: it is both a murderer and poet. Sentenced for the murder of his father (and perhaps also that of his mother), he spent twenty years behind bars, the time to become a huge controversial poet and transform his body into very purpose of poetry: all letters of the alphabet (except two) are tattooed. So it became a free man, he received the call with Barbie, his girlfriend, an ex-prostitute embedded in a story of blackmail involving nearly a senator who has the wind in their sails. But the thread of the story is as short-circuited by another voice, that of a strange clown, sort of double delusional Clyde that appears when it is the victim of one of his many blackout . The clown brings to consciousness snippets of childhood Clyde, her violent father, her mother's passivity and worrying that sex games they were engaged to their son. The text then seems to explode, taking the letters (in a remarkable exercise in typography) power in a strange way.

All the ingredients were there to make this book a great thriller, but unfortunately I missed. By trying to lose readers in the spirit bubble and unbridled character, GROSSMAN finally tired. So yes, it is original, the writing is of incredible density but, and it is here that I think is a little bored and what at first seemed to become incredibly powerful, once spent half the book, tedious. The fact remains that we sometimes dizzy (which in itself is rather successful) against the torrents of words that spill out onto the pages. And if I recognize the undeniable qualities of the work of writing, unfortunately I can not say the same of the rest of the book. Too bad because, once again, it was pretty well gone.

The book is not without its defenders, like Keisha or Marianne . While for

Library , Doriane and Mic , opinions are very mixed. We do

thanks not least to the extent Blog-O-Book editions and Le cherche midi.

OPENING Thursday, January 20, 2011 at 17:00 EXHIBITION January 20 to March 10, 2011

For several years, actively explores Nathalie Grimard the theme of sleep, dreams and vulnerability. It questions our waking consciousness and the passage of time. By showing the jumps and falls of people exposed to the dangers lurking, she explored the precarious situation of the body in space and fear that accompanies this instability.

The all new production NATHALIE of GRIMARD presents a series of large photographs showing the struggle of two individuals, two identities involved in a fight involving more than it seems. On black abyssal depth of the bodies which are cut tight muscles and bulging veins testify to the virulence of the confrontation. NATHALIE GRIMARD revisits self-representation by adding this time something more: it seems to be both the perpetrator and the abused, the victorious duelist as well as the subject. The clash of levels of consciousness resonates in the photographs presented as if the artist took the risk of venturing alone in caving galleries unexplored. Winner of Pierre Ayot awarded by the City of Montreal in collaboration with the Association of Contemporary Art Galleries in Montreal (AGAC) in 2001, NATHALIE GRIMARD participated that year in the exhibition Transformations and cloning at the Museum of art contemporain de Montréal. More recently, she participated in the exhibition at the crossroads of art and medicine at the Foreman Art Gallery of Bishop's University in addition to presenting the solo exhibition at Ground Zero Exhibition Centre de Val d’Or. ***************

Opening

Exhibition January 20 - March 10, 2011

In the last few years, NATHALIE GRIMARD has explored themes relating to dreamlike states and vulnerability. In doing so, she questions our awareness about aging and the passage of time. She also worked with the idea of vulnerability through representations of characters presented either falling or jumping. She was interested in visually articulating how the body is fragile in this suspended state or moment.

The most recent production of GRIMARD is presented in Chimères, that is featuring a series of large scale photographs presenting two persons wrestling, two identities engaged in a fight that implies much more that it seems at first glance. On abysmal black backgrounds, two white bodies stand out, muscles tight and bulging veins, proof of the harshness of the battle. Once again, Nathalie Grimard dares to go with self-representation, adding a new duality this time: she seems to be both aggressor and victim, winner and subdued at the same time. The many conscience levels clash as if the artist was taking speleologist risks of going alone in unexplored underground tunnels.

NATHALIE GRIMARD was the recipient of the Pierre-Ayot award in 2001, which is offered by the City of Montreal to promising young artists. That same year, she participated In The Metamorphosis and Cloning group show at Contemporary Art Museum of Montreal. More Recently, She Was In The Crossroads of Art and Medicine Exhibition at Foreman Art Gallery of Bishop's University and Had a solo exhibition at the Centre of Val d'Or.

The family on the Prairie

Montana 1948 Larry Watson

short novel of initiation and learning the art of son in the Great Plains of Montana.

The novels are set in the great American often have a taste of bitterness, roughness a little wild that gives drama to them play a particular salt (as here). And the small town in Montana where David Hayden lives to live up to the rule. Land out of sight, the Indian reservation, large properties, a world of men and traditions: everything is there. David, twelve years, is the son of the sheriff, a debonair man who practices with regret and with gentleness. Has anyone ever seen a sheriff without a walk without his badge and his gun? David's father could be a lawyer, go to the big city, but the family is one sheriff father to son, tradition means that the patriarch well enforced. The uncle of David himself studied medicine. It is the prodigal son, war hero, highly respected doctor, preferred the patriarch. But when the young Indian who works in the house of David comes to bring serious charges against the uncle loved by all, the cracks of the family come to light and the ties of blood go to assault justice. What to choose: to be faithful to his family or his beliefs? David's father will make heavy decisions, under the eye of his son, this summer, finally left the world of childhood.

In this novel induction written in 1993, the author manages to make quite rightly the eyes of a child twelve years on values and issues of power within his family. The theme of parenthood, fidelity to the father, rivalry between brothers are brought here with great sincerity and simplicity. Even if the style is not the primary quality of the novel, Watson nevertheless managed to create a special atmosphere, heavy with tension and always on the verge of explosion, as if men of this land had kept their enormous all the rage whose nature can be able.

A book found at In Cold Blog who in his post is also part of other reviews blogoboulesques.

What's Wrong With Fakku?

A stranger in paradise

The foreign , Sandor Marai

existential wandering under a blazing sun. Friendly Zweig, Mann and others: be welcome here.

Viktor Henrik Askenazi left Paris for a small station resort on the Adriatic Sea. A "very small place, a refuge, a punishment? Urged by his entourage, Askenazi has gone on holiday to take a distance from a situation that began to trouble the conventions of polite society of the interwar period. How can a man installed, scholar, he could leave on a whim wife and child moved to a hotel with a dancer? A semi-socialite, a cocotte, a stranger. Can we speak of passionate love? Not sure. Askenazi, after exploring its sides possibilities offered by the body, left the dancer, doubting to have found in this sensual odyssey answers to questions that assail. A period of doubt and angst.

The first pages of this novel written in 1934 are dazzling mastery. Writing Marai, Hungarian writer, it portrays a little worn bourgeois society struggling with the heat lead. A world of appearances and narrow sense - it is far from the roaring twenties - which denotes Askenazi deeply. Following the novel offers introspection the character who tries to understand and calm their anxieties. He returned to the meeting with the dancer, the reactions of those around him and what we now call depression. Things and beings are no longer sense the crowd seems a mass ready to pillory those who try to extract it, heat scale and madness lurking.
In reading this novel, is obviously thinking of other authors of Mitteleuropa who have dedicated their works to the description of how modern man: ZWEIG, Kafka and Mann (and especially its Death in Venice which we find here the heat and unreason). The character who gradually becomes aware of the absurdity of his existence will also think of Meursault and it is amusing to note that the course of it looks strong enough to the hero of The foreign . (Note that the title orginał, "A Sziget" ("The Island") is, in my opinion, but certainly less Camusian much more faithful to the novel).
style Marai promptly impose a total intimacy with the character while managing to keep a certain distance which, fortunately, sometimes out of the gravity of the philosophical journey. It is ultimately a human portrait of a rich, Tough but a terrible accuracy. A novel

advised by Yohan .

Merry Christmas! Good news

Nothing like recovering from New Year celebrations than to read the fifteenth novel by Jennifer Johnston: family Christmas. Or see how Christmas otherwise ...

The family in question is found in this Christmas Eve at the bedside of Henry. You learn very quickly that it suffered a terrible car accident and he will recover. But who is Henry? Gradually, the reader and the character himself - the latter has lost some memory - will get to know this loving husband and fickle, this father loved but not always measure up, the son of both adulation and cursed. Relatives appear, by turns at his bedside: his first wife, Stephanie, dynamic woman who does not know what to think of the state of one who broke her heart some years ago and the role it is expected to play, his daughter, Ciara, beautiful redhead who fervently expresses the joy of find a father she has not seen for a long time, his son Donough, who has just come out courageously, his brother, George, with whom Henry has fallen out for some mysterious reason that there are many years and his mother, Tash, woman painter, independent and flamboyant, which has always preferred his paintings to his son and begins to feel come the first signs of old age and finally, the beautiful Jeremy's brother, his second wife, died in the accident and that he can not remember strangely.
All the ingredients of a disastrous Christmas, so where should emerge more family secrets, old grudges and blows the lowest. Yet the subtlety of Jennifer Johnston made sure that all the cliches are avoided. No family feuds, no turkey that flies over the table, not the least glass of wine thrown in the face of another. The characters family Christmas will instead take advantage of what this strange time for Christmas getting closer, to discover, find and recover to live.
No melodrama either, however: the snow does not fall at midnight, or the chimes to ring. There is not even, strictly speaking, a happy ending. Pathos, Jennifer JOHNSTON prefer comedy, although it is sometimes jarring.
Let's add to that numerous references to Shakespeare (the original title is also fatal Absurd, the famous phrase Dream of a Summer Night ), a breathless narrative made of short chapters alternating between the different points view and the retrospections As Henry recovers memory, a statement on the Irish society of today and existential questions about identity (possibly sexual) character (references to Shakespeare always?).
short, a book that makes us say that next year, I promise, it will go without a priori Eve!
