Download or read book The Private Collection of Edgar Degas written by Julie A. Steiner and published by Metropolitan Museum of Art. This book was released on 1997 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The art collection assembled by Edgar Degas was remarkable not only for its quality, size, and depth but also for its revelation of Degas's artistic affinities. He acquired great numbers of works by the nineteenth-century French masters Ingres, Delacroix, and Daumier; he bought (or bartered his own pictures for) art by many of his contemporaries, particularly Manet, Cezanne, Gauguin, and Cassatt; and he acquired works by a wide range of other artists, from eminent to little known. The extent of Degas's holdings was not recognized until after his death, when the collection came up for auction in Paris in 1918 and, in what was called the sale of the century, was widely dispersed." "Extensive research has made it possible to "reassemble" that collection in book form. This summary catalogue contains information on the more than five thousand works owned by Degas. For each work catalogued the entry includes, to the extent possible: a description with medium and dimensions; provenance information about Degas's acquisition and ownership of the work; information pertaining to the sale of the work in 1918 (or its disposal earlier), including the purchaser, purchase price, and other data; the current location; selected references; and an illustration. In a concordance, collection sale lot numbers are listed with their corresponding summary catalogue numbers." "This catalogue and its companion volume of essays are published in conjunction with the exhibition "The Private Collection of Edgar Degas," held at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, from October 1, 1997, to January 11, 1998."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book Le labyrinthe written by Joël Pagé and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-07-22 with total page 698 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quelque part dans la foret de l'Arriere-pays se trouverait un labyrinthe. Lieu de tous les reves, de tous les dangers et de toutes les chimeres, personne ne sait s'il existe. Le labyrinthe sert de pretexte pour fertiliser l'imagination et les reves, influer sur les arts. Tombe dans l'inconscient, on lui preterait une forme de pensee, la puissance d'une deite. Personne ne l'a traverse sans perdre la vie; mais des rumeurs tenaces courent. Un homme, Camelot, en aurait decouvert l'entree et l'aurait explore pour devenir ce presque-vagabond qui vend des colifichets merveilleux, puis disparait pendant des mois avant de revenir, des lueurs pleins les yeux. Dans ce recit plurivoque ou meandres labyrinthiques et meandres de la pensee se font echo, l'auteur nous livre un texte essentiel sur l'acte de creation, ses consequences et les sacrifices qu'il demande.
Download or read book LES CHEMINS DE SHANGRI LA written by Jérôme MANIAQUE and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-05-22 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jérôme Maniaque est né en 1953 en Ile-de-France. Après des études secondaires où il s'ennuie ferme, pour un temps dans un internat du Loiret, il suit les cours à Paris de Jacques D. Allonsius à l'Académie Charpentier en architecture-intérieure puis s'oriente vers les arts graphiques à l'Ecole Corvisart, pour conclure sur un 3ème cycle de communication. Ses passions assumées lui permettent de s'exercer notamment à l'écriture, un domaine qui le fait toujours rêver depuis sa rencontre avec « Monsieur Paul », l'un des personnages de ce premier roman, sans oublier l'étude assidue de la littérature chinoise contemporaine à laquelle il est resté fidèle depuis ses jeunes années. Fidèle voyageur de la Chine où il se rend fréquemment, il trace ainsi une série de portraits débridés, non sans humour et ironie lucide pour lui-même, ainsi que pour les personnages qu'il croque, toujours avec tendresse, comme pour s'excuser de les percer à jour dans leur intimité.
Download or read book Bats of Colima Mexico written by Cornelio Sánchez-Hernández and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2016-09-16 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tiny state of Colima on Mexico’s Pacific coast is one of the three most biodiverse hot spots in the world. Straddling temperate and tropical zones, with rugged topography ranging from a volcanic mountaintop to sandy beaches, the state shelters nearly half—66—of Mexico’s species of Chiroptera, or bats. In this volume, studded with more than 200 full-color photographs and maps, a team of mammalogists from Mexico and the United States marshal information gathered over decades to present a comprehensive portrait of the bats of Colima. Bats of Colima, Mexico provides readers with the tools necessary to understand and identify each species of Colima’s bat population, from the sac-winged bats of family Emballonuridae to the mustached bats of family Mormoopidae. A dichotomous key indicates how each bat can be differentiated and describes the seven families within which they fall. The authors provide an in-depth description of each species, including a photograph, a map of its distribution across Colima, and information on habitat, reproduction, conservation status, and more. By calling attention to Colima’s rich chiropteran fauna, Bats of Colima, Mexico should not only foster interest in the rich biodiversity of the region but also nurture further collaboration between scientists and naturalists in the United States and Mexico.

Download or read book The Mobile City of Accra written by Elizabeth Ardayfio-Schandorf and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2012-09-10 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a product of collaborative research between the Institut de recherche pour le dveloppement (IRD, France), the University of Ghana, Legon and CODESRIA. It examines various economic, social and environmental challenges of urbanization that critically affect the capital of Ghana, which has experienced high demographic growth and territorial expansion. The study analyses the Greater Accra city dwellers residential practices, and focuses on two main factors influencing land and rental markets. On the one hand, it interrogates the constraints and dynamics of urban families, their needs and gender characteristics in terms of accommodation. On the other hand, it explores the opportunities and interests in investment on the part of land owners and real estate developers. At these two levels of describing the social and spatial discriminations, the book attempts to explain the difficult choices that this fragmented city faces. It emphasizes the role of mobility in structuring the metropolitan area, and the negative impact of lack of mobility which results in some households and communities suffering more than others. Light is thrown on diagnostics and prospects in the matter of urban planning.
Download or read book Ovid in French written by Helena Taylor and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-07-04 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays examines the ways Ovid's diverse œuvre has been translated, rewritten, adapted, and responded to by a range of French and Francophone women from the Renaissance to the present. It aims to reveal lesser-known voices in Ovidian reception studies, and to offer a wider historical perspective on the complex question of Ovid and gender. Ranging from Renaissance poetry to contemporary creative-criticism, it charts an understudied strand of reception studies, emphasizing how a longer view allows us to explore and challenge the notion of a female tradition of Ovidian reception. The range of genres analysed here—poetry, verse and prose translation, theatre, epistolary fiction, autofiction, autobiography, film, creative critique, and novels—also reflect the diversity of the Ovidian texts in reception from the Heroides to the Metamorphoses, from the Amores to the Ars Amatoria, from the Tristia to the Fasti. The study brings an array of critical approaches to bear on well-known authors such as George Sand, Julia Kristeva, and Marguerite Yourcenar, as well as less-known figures, from contemporary writer Linda Lê to the early modern Catherine and Madeline Des Roches, exploring exile, identity, queerness, displacement, voice, expectations of modesty, the poetics of translation, and the problems posed by Ovid's erotized violence, to name just some of the volume's rich themes. The epilogue by translator and novelist Marie Cosnay points towards new eco-critical and creative directions in Ovidian scholarship and reception. Students and scholars of French Studies, Classics, Comparative Literature and Translation Studies will find much to interest them in this diverse collection of essays.
