Описание:
Explores the ‘still life spirit’ in modern painting, prose, dance, sculpture and poetry
Challenges the conventional positioning of still life a ‘minor’ genre in art history
Proposes a radical alternative to narratives of modernism that privilege speed and motion by revealing forms of stillness and still life at the heart of modern literature and visual culture
Provides the first study of still life to consider the genre across modern literature, visual cultures and dance
Uncovers connections and cultural exchange between networks of European and American artists including the Bloomsbury Group and Wallace Stevens
The late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries have been characterised as the ‘age of speed’ but they also witnessed a reanimation of still life across different art forms. This book takes an original approach to still life in modern literature and the visual arts by examining the potential for movement and transformation in the idea of stillness and the ordinary. It ranges widely in its material, taking Cezanne and literary responses to his still life painting as its point of departure. It investigates constellations of writers, visual artists and dancers including D. H. Lawrence, Virginia Woolf, David Jones, Winifred Nicholson, Wallace Stevens, and lesser-known figures including Charles Mauron and Margaret Morris.
Claudia Tobin reveals that at the heart of modern art were forms of stillness that were intimately bound up with movement: the still life emerges charged with animation, vibration and rhythm; an unstable medium, unexpectedly vital and well suited to the expression of modern concerns.

Описание: The Dream Dancers, Volume I: New England Preservers of the Dream (1620?1924), recounts the long struggle to achieve freedom and equality for Americans of color, as experienced by a multicultural New England family. Born at the end of the Civil War, Edwin Bush Jourdain, Sr. (1865?1938) grew up in an American family of African, Native American, and European heritage in New Bedford, Massachusetts, during the turbulent era of unrealized post?Civil War dreams. In 1905, Edwin, Sr., will assist his friend and colleague W.E.B. Du Bois in the creation of the startling Niagara Movement that will insist upon equal civil rights without further delay for people of color in America, and around the world. The empowering philosophy of the Niagara Movement will motivate Attorney Jourdain's son, Edwin B. Jourdain, Jr., while a student at Harvard in 1921 to ignite a protest for student racial equality soon championed by Harvard alumni nationwide.
