This book is a classic "hands on" audit reference; written with the same "how to" style as "Operational Profitability". I highly recommend this book.

Book Description

From the time of Vincent van Gogh's death in 1890 until the outbreak of World War I, Van Gogh's work came to be seen as the epitome of internationally groundbreaking art--particularly in Germany, where artists like Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and others of Die Brucke (The Bridge) group were fascinated by his technique, his powerful brushwork, his strongly contrasting colors and glowing palette. Vassily Kandinsky and the artists of Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider) movement esteemed van Gogh for rejecting visible reality and penetrating the essence of nature. Austrian artists Egon Schiele and Oscar Kokoschka, on the other hand, were impressed by his soulful expression and insightful psychological portraits. The scholar and curator, Jill Lloyd, who is profoundly knowledgeable in the field of Expressionism, here places an exquisite selection of works by Expressionist artists in the context of van Gogh's most important paintings, documenting the lasting influence of this nineteenth-century Dutch painter on Expressionist art in Germany and Austria.

A new field of study on Van Gogh's art.......2007-05-10

A beautiful catalogue for an exhibition held at the Neue Galerie in NY in 2007, this book shows how German and Austrian artists, from Kokoschka, Kirchner, Schmidt-Rottluff to Egon Schiele, Gerstl and even, to some extent, Klimt, were all inspired by the Dutch master. The book studies the reception of Van Gogh in both countries in the first two decades of the XXth century (German museums started buying his works before American museums), through the active trade of dealers and patrons. It also dwells on the nazi period in Germany, when both Van Gogh and the expressionists were included in the so-called "degenerate art", deemed so by the fascist leaders who ended up selling their works at auction (pictures of the auctions appear in the book).

The illustrations are perfect (sometimes placing next to each other works by Van Gogh and their interpretation, so to speak, by each expressionist artist) and the selection of works, some of them actual masterpieces, makes this book a top-quality companion to the exhibition. An interesting post-war development, which is well described in the book, is the influence Van Gogh had on Francis Bacon, through the latter's series inspired by a painting destroyed during WWII.

the single funniest novel I have ever read.......2006-11-07

under-appreciated, probably because of the well-known but mediocre film version. Crammed from start to finish with page after page of the funniest bar business, police, and petty crime anecdotes ever assembled

Pope Charlie?.......2006-10-21

I really like this book. I've re-read it several times because it is the type of story that takes you away from the problems of Life for a while. Charlie Moran is one those characters who is a study in contradictions. He wants to do what's right but gets talked into doing wrong; wants to dump the girl (Diane) but is forced toward a commitment which ultimately blows up in his face. Hard Luck and Charlie are no strangers, mainly because Hard Luck is personified as his cousin Paulie. I saw the movie to this book and it comes pretty close to the book. The casting was pretty accurate to the characters I pictured while reading the book.

Part love-story, part New York hustlers, part Mafia...well detailed characters and a few good laughs. Read this one, you will enjoy it.

A classic, friendly, re-readable novel -- the best kind........2005-06-25

I stumbled onto this book in 1991, and I can't count how many times I've re-read it. The writing style is "open", uncluttered by stylistic fancy, so you see right through to the characters. You don't read this book . . . you watch and listen the people and events. It's so smooth and strong, I have always just assumed it was a successful, critically-acclaimed book.

Never had any desire to see the movie, because this book (these people, these events) are so colorful and alive! I would think a film could only subtract from the story. You feel Charlie's frustration, without becoming claustrophic on the pages. You get properly irritated with Paulie, without wishing the author had used him less. Indeed, you come to enjoy every character -- corrupt and otherwise.

As you near the end, you start to feel like these are friends or acquaintances. Always a disappointment to finish the book, and though the end is "fair", not a "cheat", one feels there might be room for a sequel of sorts.

Okay, so it's not gonna challenge your paradigm of preconcieved non-subversive regendered sub-analytical postgrocery non-consciousness . . . but every reader deserves some FUN, right?

New York mob books are a dime a dozen but that doesn't mean they ain't fun. I'm telling you, man, that this is the funnest book you could hope to read in your lifetime. No farting around with belletristic descriptions, no long diatribes on "The Code of La Cosa Nostra"...just good-time lowlife fun. Regular shmucks trying to get a break for chrissakes. Paulie is absolutely adorable with his ineptitude and the villain "Bed Bug" Grant is a fearsome clown. Super book.

Decent book; gets too academic in places.......2006-03-19

Living 40 minutes from Niagara Falls for the past 12 years, I was anxious to read more about the history of the Falls, and McGreevy's "Imagining Niagara" was my choice. Overall, it's a decent book and covers a great breadth of topics revolving around how the meaning of Niagara has changed over time (the "Editors Reviews" are very good in describing this more).

It did, however, get a bit too in-depth and academic multiple times for an average, casual reader. I would not immediately recommend this as a first book for someone wanting to learn about Niagara Falls.

That said, some parts were completely enthralling. It went into very well-written discussions and explanations on topics of general interest to anyone. The best way to summarize this (and this occurred to me over and over as I read this book) is that, if you paid good money to hire a tour guide to take you around the Falls, you would want your tour guide to have read this book. A tour guide with this kind of insight would provide a wonderful, deeply-felt, lasting impression of your visit, far beyond the already immense feelings the common visitor to the Falls takes away.

In summary, if you're planning to visit to Falls and want to take away an extraordinary appreciation of the Falls, read this book.

The Romantic Poetess: European Culture, Politics, and Gender, 1820-1840 (Becoming Modern: New Nineteenth-Century Studies)
Patrick Vincent
Manufacturer: University of New Hampshire Press
ProductGroup: Book
Binding: Paperback

General | Women's Studies | Nonfiction | Subjects | Books

Book Description

Elegiac Muses is the first general introduction to the poetry, culture, and politics of the romantic poetess in Europe. Between 1820 and 1840, a sisterhood of artists throughout Europe, including Felicia Hemans and Letitia Landon in England, Marceline Desbordes-Valmore, Delphine Gay, and Amable Tastu in France, and Evdokia Rostopchina and Karolina Pavlova in Russia, produced gendered, sentimental poetry, which shared a common political aspiration. Following in the footsteps of Germaine de Stael (and her heroine Corinne, 1807), these women wrote to foster sympathy and facilitate the development of a liberal, internationalist culture, identifying with writers from other countries, imagining their "civilizing mission" as collective and universal.

From a new, comparative perspective, Patrick Vincent nimbly restores the unjustly debased image of the romantic poetess in this outstanding investigation of complex nineteenth-century intersections between femininity and writing, public and political aspirations, and literary commodification. Among the book's noteworthy achievements is its establishment of the romantic poetess as an important figure in the emergence of the modern liberal state.
