Frontman ​Ryan ​Miller joins us ​to ​talk ​about ​all ​things ​Guster. ​From ​their ​tried ​and ​true ​collaborative ​writing ​process ​to ​the ​theatrical ​delights ​of ​their ​recent "We ​Also ​Have ​Eras" ​tour, ​to ​what ​it ​really ​looks ​like ​to ​make ​environmental ​sustainability ​a ​priority ​on ​tour. Guster ​has just released ​their ​9th ​studio ​album, ​Ooh ​La ​La. ​As ​we ​talked ​about ​the ​new ​record, ​Ryan talked ​about ​how ​these ​new ​songs ​touch ​on ​questions ​that ​the ​band ​has ​been ​asking ​throughout ​their ​over ​30 ​year ​career. For ​example, ​"Maybe ​We're ​Al​right" ​calls ​back ​to ​the ​collectivist ​spirit ​that ​we ​loved ​in ​2003's ​Keep ​It ​Together. ​​"Gaugin, Cezanne (Everlasting Love)" ​talks ​about ​God ​in ​a ​way ​that ​brought ​up ​new ​questions ​for ​me ​about ​2010's ​album, ​Easy, ​Wonderful, ​and ​so ​on. ​This ​is ​what ​makes ​being ​a ​Guster ​fan ​so ​rewarding. ​The ​longer ​you ​listen ​to ​these ​guys ​and ​the ​deeper ​you ​dig, ​the ​more ​you ​feel ​empowered ​to ​ask ​questions ​about ​the ​world ​around ​you ​and ​approach ​the ​answers ​with ​playfulness. ​Guster ​is ​a ​band, ​but ​it ​is ​also ​a ​place ​where ​we ​all ​meet ​to ​dance ​away ​the ​big ​questions ​with ​whimsy ​to ​the ​beat ​of ​tasteful ​hand ​drums.It ​is ​no ​exaggeration ​to ​say ​that ​lizzie ​has ​waited ​over ​20 ​years ​to ​talk ​to ​Ryan. ​They became ​a ​fan ​of ​the ​New ​England ​indie ​outfit ​in ​2003 ​when they opened ​for ​John ​Mayer ​at ​the ​West ​Point ​Military ​Academy, ​of ​all ​places. ​The ​vibe ​in ​the ​room ​was ​a ​little ​stiff, ​but ​Guster ​was ​anything ​but. Their ​exuberant, ​generous, ​harmony ​filled, ​idiosyncratic ​performance ​blew her ​teenage ​mind. ​As lizzie ​dug ​deeper ​into ​their ​lore, ​they ​discovered ​that they were ​a ​part ​of ​a ​vast ​network ​of ​weirdos: The ​Guster ​fandom. ​Follow Basic Folk on social media: https://basicfolk.bio.link/Sign up for Basic Folk's newsletter: https://bit.ly/basicfolknewsHelp produce Basic Folk by contributing: https://basicfolk.com/donate/Interested in sponsoring us?

Jeremy Black's A Brief History of the Pacific: The Great Ocean (Robinson, 2023) succeeds in examining both the indigenous presence on ocean's islands and Western control or influence over the its islands and shores. There is a particular focus on the period from the 1530s to 1890 with its greater Western coastal and oceanic presence in the Pacific, beginning with the Spanish takeover of the coasts of modern Central America, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, and continuing with the Spaniards in the Philippines. There is also an emphasis on the very different physical and human environments of the four quadrants of the Pacific - the north-east, the north-west, the south-east and the south-west - and of the 'coastal' islands, that is the Aleutians, Japan and New Zealand, and continental coastlines. The focus is always on the interactions of Japan, California, Peru, Australia and other territories with the ocean, notably in terms of trade, migration and fishing. Black looks first at the geology, currents, winds and physical make-up of the Pacific, then the region's indigenous inhabitants to 1520. He describes the Pacific before the arrival of Europeans, its history of settlement, navigation methods and religious practices. From Easter Island, the focus shifts to European voyages, from Magellan to Cook and Tasman, the problems they faced, not least the sheer scale of the ocean. Black looks at the impact of these voyages on local people, including the Russians in the Aleutian Islands. Outside control of the region grew from 1788 to 1898. The British laid claim to Australia and America to the Phillipines. Western economic and political impact manifested in sandalwood and gold rushes, and the coming of steamships accelerated this impact. Territorial claims spread through Willis, Perry and the Americans, including to Hawaii. Black looks at the Maori wars in New Zealand and the War of the Pacific on the South American coast. Christian missionary activity increased, and Gaugin offered a different vision of the Pacific. 1899 to 1945 marked the struggle of empires: the rise of Japan as an oceanic power, and the Second World War in the Pacific as a critical moment in world history. Oil-powered ships ushered in the American Age, from 1945 to 2015, bringing the end of the British Pacific. France had a continued role, in Tahiti and New Caledonia, but America had become the dominant presence. Black explores the political, economic and cultural impacts of, for example, Polynesians attending universities in America and Australasia; the spread of rugby; and relatively little international tension, although some domestic pressures remained, including instability in Papua New Guinea and Fiji. The book ends with a look at the Pacific's future: pressures from industrial fishing, pollution and climate change; the rise of drug smuggling; greater Chinese influence leading to conflict with America and Australasia - the Pacific is once again on the frontline of military planning. But the Pacific's future also includes tourism, from Acapulco to Hawaii, and from Tahiti to Cairns. Learn more about your ad choices.

Cristina Troufa (PT, 1974) procura consolidar, através da pintura, a ideia de autorretrato e/ou de autorrepresentação, refletindo conceptualmente sobre um processo interior espiritual, emocional e psicológico. Partindo de fotografias que capta de si mesma, dá especial ênfase ao trabalho de luz e cor, servindo-se do acrílico para expressar, simbolicamente, as reflexões e conversas que tem consigo mesma. As suas pinturas, propositadamente de aspeto inacabado, refletem a admiração pelos pintores impressionistas e pela utilização das superfícies lisas, sem grande tratamento, típicas dos pós impressionistas como Gaugin e Lautrec. Encontra em Graça Morais, Júlio Pomar e Paula Rego inspirações de construção cénica e manipulação cromática. Nesta entrevista, falamos do seu trabalho e do seu percurso, que tem merecido reconhecimento internacional. Mas também falamos do que há de Cristina Troufa em cada pintura, bem como do que há de cada uma de nós.

Yasen Peyankov who trained at Bulgaria's elite theater school, left Sofia immediately after the Berlin Wall came down and went to Chicago to act, direct and form his own theatre group. In 2002 he became an ensemble member of the Steppenwolf Theatre Company, and has acted, directed and translated plays for them ever since. His translation of Anton Chekhov's The Seagull performed in the round was his most recent production for the 2021 – 2022 season.

My guest in this week's Book Club podcast is the critic, novelist and art historian Chloë Ashby. In her new book Colours of Art: The Story of Art in 80 Palettes she takes a look at how the history of colour - how it was made, how much it cost, what it was understood to mean - has shaped the history of painting. She tells me about the age-old disagreement between the primacy of drawing and colour in composition, where Goethe and Gaugin butted heads with Newton, why Monet was so excited by red, how Titian got blurry… and how the first female nude self-portrait was, astonishingly, as recent as 1906.

Lucy and the Tsar Lucy served as second officer on a 747 operated by Trans-Oceanic Airlines. Twice a week she flew from Dallas to Leningrad; with brief layovers in New York and Brussels. She had been a second officer for five years. Lucy was looking forward to promotion to first officer. She would be the second woman to command a 747 for Trans-Oceanic. Her performance reviews were always exceptional. Never had Trans-Oceanic Airlines treated her differently than any other pilot. The glass ceiling seemed nonexistent. Lucy, as a highly paid professional airline pilot, owned a beautiful 5000 square foot home in Dallas where she lived with her son, daughter and a full- time housekeeper/nanny. She was happy. Her future was unlimited. At forty years of age she was approaching the apex of her professional career. Her layover in Leningrad was usually two days. Lucy would recover from the inevitable jet lag by visiting the great museums of the time of the Tsars. Her favorite was the Hermitage, which was once the Tsar's summer palace. To the museum she always brought along her Nikon single lens reflex camera that recorded each picture with very high resolution. She used the Nikon to photograph the magnificent treasures stolen by the Bolsheviks from the Tsar. The fast lens and digital enhancement allowed her to obtain images without using a flash. Lucy would spend evenings in her hotel sorting her photographs into categories on her lap top. She had collections of close-up shots of Faberge royal Easter eggs; of oil paintings by Gaugin, Degas, Van Gogh and Picasso; and photos of fine works of art made by native Russian craftsmen unknown in the West. Lucy converted the settlement check to US currency Travelers Checks. She placed the Travelers Checks in her overnight bag on the airplane. When she landed, as part of a well-known airline crew, her luggage was not inspected by the local customs officials. The Travelers Checks, better than cash, entered the new Russia without hindrance. Lucy immediately went to the dealer appointed by the Hermitage and purchased the Fabergé bird she lusted for paying only 200,000 US Dollars in Travelers checks. With the remaining $50,00 she purchased two Fabergé silver cigarette cases and a small Picasso drawing in pencil signed and dated by the artist. The bird is displayed prominently over Lucy's mantelpiece and she used the Fabergé cigarette case to hold note papers and a fountain pen. Lucy was lucky. If anyone at Edward Lloyd's Insurance Company had gone to the Dallas public library, they could have found similar photographs of the same items in any one of several books on the Hermitage collection housed at the library. They did not. Lucy was promoted to Captain. She now commands a Trans-Oceanic 747 that flies three times a week nonstop from Dallas to London's Heathrow airport. She is starting a collection of photographs from the Queen's Museum at Buckingham Palace. (c) 2022 Barry Zalma & ClaimSchool, Inc. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/barry-zalma/support

The House of Gucci starring Lady Gaga and Al Pacino is the best luxury marketing tutorial money can buy. “Quality is remembered long after price is forgotten,” a saying embossed in gold letters on pigskin plaques and displayed strategically around Gucci stores. Throughout Gucci's 101-year history, the fashion retailer's popularity has waxed and waned, its business results have faltered and rebounded. The one thing that has remained constant “everything must be perfect”. “Even the bricks in the walls must know they are Gucci's!'' said descendant Aldo Gucci (Al Pacino). “In order to sell style, we must have style!” After opening its New York store, VIP Gucci clients were granted Gucci's gold-plated key granting them access to the “Galleria”. Here, VIPs were graciously ushered over to soft taupe couches and easy chairs where white gloved waiters served coffee or champagne on travertine marble tables. Surrounded by originals by Modigliani, van Gogh and Gaugin, VIPs could choose limited edition Gucci designed jewellery or handbags made of precious skins and featuring 18 karat gold hardware priced from $3,000 to $12,000. In no time at all, the little gold key - fewer than a thousand were issued - became a must have in New York circles. Over time, Gucci has become the ultimate in class and imprinted as top-of-the-line chic, an interest piqued when Patrizia (Lady Gaga) met Maurizio Gucci for the first time!  Smile even when times are tough “You may ask, where are the people to buy these things in a time of recession?” Aldo said to Women's Wear Daily at the opening of the Galleria. “ I have a saying about beautiful women,” Aldo continued, “Only 5 percent are truly beautiful. And it's the same with people with affluence. They are only 5 percent of the population. But 5 percent is enough to make us smile.” Or in Patrizia's case after a nasty divorce, to "kill for!"

Season 8, Episode 2 Emma Weaver has personal motives for choosing her M.A. thesis topic. She divides her time between poring over mute archival records and trying to find members of the notorious Gaugin family who'll talk to her. They were rounded up by authorities at their remote settlement in the 1990s, and Emma needs to interview people who were there to discover what happened after they were dispersed to the justice system and foster homes. Becca Babcock's début novel, "One Who Has Been Here Before" traces Emma's life-changing encounters with people who'd lost everything but who ultimately help her deal with her own conflicts, underlining the importance - and difficulties - of developing a genuine empathy for others.

KUNSTFILTER - Gaugin, či Michelangelo. Títo velikáni umenia vedia aj v tejto dobe prekvapiť. Michelangelo zachraňuje galériu a Gaugin si privlastnil Van Goghove slnečnice. Okrem nich sa v Kunstkamere pozrieme na aborigénskeho umelca Vincenta Namatjiru, či na výstavu do galérie v Nemecku, ktorá sa pýši výstavou falzifikátov...  

Hans Petrovic and guests review three films currently showing in Christchurch

Uno degli artisti più tormentati e più amati. Nessuno prima di lui era riuscito a far coincidere arte e vita. In questa puntata vi parliamo del suo rapporto con il fratello Theo e di come la pittura di Van Gogh cambi da uno dei suoi primi capolavori "I mangiatori di patate" ai suoi meravigliosi girasoli fino alle vorticose pennellate della "Notte stellata", espressione della sua complessa interiorità e alla sua tragica fine. Concludiamo la puntata con un piccolo momento poetico e musicale in cui vi recitiamo solo alcune delle sue frasi più famose e significative.link "I mangiatori di patate": https://bit.ly/2PIAdwRlink "I girasoli": https://bit.ly/39wmWPOlink "Ritratto pére Tanguy": https://bit.ly/3asDxEflink "La notte stellata": https://bit.ly/3cuSurclink "Campo di grano con volo di corvi": https://bit.ly/38jXuMn music by Giorgio di CampoBossa Blue for you https://bit.ly/2DCsxH3Billys Blues session https://bit.ly/2ALFQCTFree Vibes: https://goo.gl/NkGhTgWay To Dream - Inspiring Piano And Strings by Keys Of Moon Music: https://soundcloud.com/keysofmoon/way...Attribution 3.0 Unported (CC BY 3.0)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...

What makes an artistic partnership? Where is it healthy and how can it be destructive? In this episode we find out how powerful partnerships can transcend time and place and cause the people involved to generate some of the most powerful works in history. We’ll hear the tragic tale of Elizabeth Siddall, artist and muse of Dante Gabriel Rossetti and explore the joyful friendship between Picasso and Lee Miller. Artist Julian Bell explains the stormy relationship between Van Gogh and Gaugin and we hear from Dalziel and Scullion on how they work together creativity.

Tony Guaraldi-Brown joins us for the second time to talk about flaws in the public learning system, caring about art history, what makes a great piece of art, Monet vs. Gaugin, arguing for Jackson Pollack(kinda), his new Hadrian And Elliott, exploring more color, putting yourself into your work, and more. We discuss how we deal with competition as artists before getting into Sergio’s question corner! Who are Tony’s top 5 living artists? What does he think of the 10 hot-seat artists? Catch Tony at Artist Alley (DD07) at San Diego Comic Con this year!

With My Young Life (Simon & Schuster), Frederic Tuten had to get over his notion that memoir is a cheap shot in order to look back at the beginning of a career in writing, teaching, and art criticism in the New York of the 1940s, '50s, and '60s. We get into what started him on this book, how he's haunted by his childhood in the Bronx, his emphasis on quality over quantity in literary output (while coping with the cautionary example of his writing teacher, Leonard Ehrlich, who only published a single, well-acclaimed novel), his mentorship by artist and convicted murderer John Resko, the joys of cafe culture (and his favorite haunt, Cafe Mogador), and how he got two-timed by "the Elizabeth Taylor of the Bronx" with Jerome Charyn. We also lament today's celebration of the mundane, celebrate his friendships with Herge, Lichtenstein, Resnais and Queneau, and talk about the books he wants loaded in his casket when he dies, the great allure of Juan Rulfo's sole book, Pedro Paramo, why future pod-guest Iris Smyles' first novel is better than F. Scott Fitzgerald's first novel, how fact-checker Anne Stringfield corrected some virtual memories in My Young Life, how poverty shaped his later life, what he learned from sobriety, Gaugin and The Magic Mountain, and plenty more! • More info at our site • Support The Virtual Memories Show via Patreon or Paypal

Throughout the presidency of her husband, Martha Washington hosted a weekly reception each Friday evening for anyone who would like to attend. At these gatherings, men and women from the local community would mingle with Members of Congress and visiting dignitaries at the presidential mansion where they would enjoy refreshments and talk. Martha didn't do this because she loved to entertain. She did it to encourage people, brighten people, connect people. One hundred years later, Stéphane Mallarmé would open his modest home each Tuesday night to the literary and artistic misfits of Paris. Among the writers who gathered there each week were Marcel Proust, Oscar Wilde, William Butler Yeats, André Gide, Paul Valéry, Paul Verlaine and Rainer Maria Rilke. What conversations they had! Arthur Schopenhauer was likely talking about these Tuesday nights when he wrote, “The business of the novelist is not to relate great events, but to make small ones interesting.” Debussy named Stéphane Mallarmé as his inspiration for The Afternoon of a Faun and Ravel wrote a mystical piece of music, Trois poèmes de Stéphane Mallarmé dedicated to the memory of his Tuesday night host. The visual artists who mingled with those writers and musicians on Tuesday nights were Manet, Degas, Gaugin, Whistler, Renoir, Edvard Munch and Auguste Rodin. The combined works of these artists today are worth – quite literally – many billions of dollars. These men did not get together because they were exceptional.They became exceptional because they got together.*In the spirit of Martha Washington and Stéphane Mallarmé, Wizard Academy launched just such a weekly gathering one year ago. You should start one, too. If ever you're in Austin on a Friday afternoon, we gather at 4PM at the Toad and Ostrich, the private pub on the campus of Wizard Academy. Just climb the tower fire escape to the quarterdeck and go through the door on your left. We go home to our families at 5:30. These are the rules of our gathering: If you talk about business or politics, we throw you out. Although the topic of conversation may wander like a butterfly in springtime, we have a single conversation with everyone participating. No side conversations, please. Daniel Whittington is our host at the Toad and Ostrich, our Martha Washington, our Stéphane Mallarmé. While you're here, you might even learn why we call him “Brittington.” Be prepared to laugh. Be prepared to sing. Be prepared to live. Do this in your town, too. Roy H. Williams

Den amerikanska författaren och kulturpersonligheten Gertrud Stein (1874-1946) var inte bara en kvinna som samlade på modern konst och skrev bästsäljaren Alice B Toklas självbiografi. Med sin säreget stolta stil med grovhuggen kropp, kortklippta hår och rejäla skor blev hon även en sorts prototyp för de lesbiska kvinnor som kallas för butchflator. Mer om hennes stil berättar vi i veckans STIL. Gertrude Stein hade ett fast handslag och ett rungande skratt som beskrivits som ”en biffstek”. Det hände inte sällan att denna resliga kvinna förväxlades med en biskop, eller en kardinal. Pimpinett var Gertrude Stein inte, även om hon bar sidenfodrade kjolar av tweed, med djupa fickor som hon lät sy upp hos den franske modeskaparen Pierre Balmain. De var mycket goda vänner. Han sydde även kläder åt hennes käresta, Alice B Toklas som utseendemässigt var hennes motsats – hon var nätt och kort och älskade smycken, handskar och hattar med fjädrar. ”Båda bar kläder som skulle sett löjliga ut på andra än dem själva”, konstaterade Pierre Balmain. Tillsammans utgjorde de onekligen ett omaka par, till ytan sett. Det hindrade, förstås, dem inte från att blixtförälskade i varandra en septemberdag i Paris, 1907. Efter en promenad i Luxembourgträdgården som avslutades med bakelser på ett café hängde de därefter ihop – dag och natt– i hela trettionio år, ända till Gertrude Steins död, 1946. När de träffades hade Gertrude Stein redan börjat samla på konstverk av dåtidens nya talanger som Gaugin, Cézanne, Renoir och, inte minst Picasso, tillsammans med sin bror, Leo med vilken hon delade bostad. De blev senare ovänner. Han flyttade ut, och in flyttade Alice B Toklas. Tillsammans arrangerade de varje lördag en sorts salonger (inklusive ”en himmelsk bål som smakade rart och oskyldigt, men var rena knockouten”) i sitt hem på 27 rue de Fleurus, där mängder av moderna konstverk hängde tätt, tätt på väggarna. Hemmet har kallats för ”det var det första moderna museet för konst”. Om en modern litterär salongen som idag finns på kaféet Copacabana vid Hornstull i Stockholm berättar Susanne Mobacker i programmet. Vi får även höra den unge och begåvade Alex Darbo (som bland annat bloggar som dothedabo på sajten 2faced1) berätta om sina tankar om rapparen Mykki Blanco och hans sätt att bryta mot den machokultur som tidigare präglat rapmusiken. Vi har även besökt butiken Babeland i New York för att ta reda på hur man som kvinna kan skaffa sig en bula i brallan, utan att använda sig av hoprullade strumpor. ”Packing accessory”, kallas denna accessoar för. Veckans gäst är Tiina Rosenberg, genusvetare och professor i teatervetenskap vid Stockholms universitet.

Swiss rider Christine Stuckelberger dominated the sport for many years with record breaking performances on partners such as Granat, Gaugin du Lilly and Aquamarine to name just a few. Christine rode in five Olympics collecting five medals, which included the gold in Montreal in 1976. She was the 1978 World Champion, twice silver medalist and four times team medalist.

Jeanne dArc (1412-1431) är troligen världens mest trendsättande helgon. Många modeskapare - och konstnärer, författare och tonsättare - har under 600 år inspirerats av denna tuffa tonåring som vägrade klä sig konventionellt - och fick sota för det. Hon brändes på bål. Ett av de tyngsta argumenten för att ta kål på henne var hennes provocerande stil - manskläder och kortklippt hår. Men 1920 helgonförklarades hon och är idag Frankrikes nationalhelgon. I år firar man där att det är 600 år sedan hon föddes. Hon är med andra ord i hetluften, igen. Det var naturligtvis inte bara kläderna som fick Jeanne d'Arc fälld. Hon hade också hört gudomliga änglaröster, och följt dem. Det var inget som en outbildad flicka gjorde ostraffat. Men genom sin övertygelse om att göra det rätta lyckades hon befria Frankrike från engelsk ockupation, och få en fransk kung, Karl VII, krönt i Reims på kuppen. Genom sin energi, och okuvliga tro på att hon skulle lyckas, ingöt hon mod och styrka hos trupperna. Iklädd rustning och svärd blev hon som en sorts turgivande maskot. Men sedan var det slut med framgångarna för Jeanne d'Arc. Kungen tog sin hand ifrån henne och hon togs till fånga av sina motståndare, och dömdes för kätteri. Många, och av olika anledningar, har genom åren velat krama Jeanne d'Arc och göra henne till sin.  Hon har betraktats som en feministföregångare, en föredömlig motståndsledare och under senare år har hon kapats av franska högerextremister. Nu när Frankrike går till val sliter båda sidor i henne. Om hennes dagspolitiska sprängkraft får vi veta mer. Vi har pratat med Magnus Falkehed, korrespondent i Paris för bland annat Dagens Nyheter. Man vet faktiskt inte riktigt hur Jeanne d'Arc såg ut i verkligheten, eller exakt vilka kläder hon bar. Det har inte hindrat modeskapare som Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, Alexander McQueen och Christophe Decarnin för Balmain från att göra sina egna tolkningar. Eller Rubens och Gaugin från att måla av henne. Någon som däremot vet en hel del om medeltidskläder i allmänhet är Maria Neijman. Hon är en av de centrala personerna i Sverige inom vad som brukar kallas för ”historiskt återskapande”, där man helt enkelt försöker återskapa en historisk händelse eller period. Ofta står hantverk, material och teknik i fokus. I programmet berättar hon mer. Man vet däremot hur hennes skräddarsmidda rustning såg ut. Den var flärdfri, utan hjälmbuske och dekorationer, och vägde 23 kilo. Det finns även smycken som fungerar ungefär som rustningar. Smycken att gömma sig bakom, och som berättar historier om både forna tider och vår samtid. Vi har träffat smyckedesignern Hanna Hedman som kan en hel del om den saken. Och skulle man drabbas av lusten att förvandla sig till superhjältinna, eller för den delen – ett helgon – så kan man knacka på hos coutureskräddaren Sanna Nyström i Stockholm. Det har vi gjort. Veckans gäst är Patrik Steorn, konst- och modevetare vid Stockholms universitet.

Have you ever contemplated the influence of African Art on the European classical art tradition? Has cubism always fascinated you? Would you like simply to learn more about this early 20th century avante garde movement in European art? Pablo Picasso, Ferdinand Leger, Georges Braque, Henri Matisse and Paul Gaugin and many others, all, desiring to move away from classical European art tradition and intrigued by the stark forms found in African imagery, began incorporating African art forms into their works. Prof. Chandler retired from Simmons College in Boston, MA in 2004 after 33 years of teaching Art and Art History focusing on how African and African American art and experience influenced all art. On our next episode, Prof. Chandler will discuss, how the cubist movement, strongly influenced by African art, transformed the traditional European art aesthetic. Called "controversial", a "Black Power Artist", "activist artist" and "Outsider Artist", Chandler, 70, was born in 1941 in Lynn, MA. He is best known for the edgy, colorful, controversial and hotly-debated artistic statements of his 1960’s-1980’s works.  Because he continues to evolve, his messages change to reflect his personal evolution, he is still an interesting, provocative speaker who can speak and/or lecture brilliantly about the historical relevance of his art and his activism to the worldwide struggle for race and gender equality as well as bridge the generation gap that is confounding this country’s leadership and confronting America as we move into the “internationalist” phase of our own evolution. The show is co-hosted and produced by Dahna M. Chandler, an award-winning journalist and the artist agent for Prof. Dana. C. Chandler. (c) 2011. The Outsider Artist, LLC and BAPsody in Blue, Inc.

Eleven million copies of Tuesdays with Morrie have been sold.   But one hundred years before Mitch Albom began spending the-day-after-Monday with Morrie, a previous Tuesday gathering had already left its mark upon the earth and walked triumphantly into the pages of history.   You are cordially invited to the home of Stéphane Mallarmé 89 Rue de Rome, Paris Tuesdays, 9PM until Midnight   Stéphane Mallarmé was an English teacher who wrote a little poetry on the side.   Marcel Proust, the writer Grahame Greene would call “the greatest novelist of the 20th century,” was fond of Mallarmé but did not care for his poetry, saying, “How unfortunate that so gifted a man should become insane every time he takes up the pen.”   Ouch.   Other writers who spent Tuesdays with Stéphane were André Gide, Paul Valéry, Oscar Wilde, Paul Verlaine, Rainer Maria Rilke, and W.B. Yeats. Of these, only Verlaine was impressed with the poems of Stéphane Mallarmé.   Of greater consequence, perhaps, than the writers who gathered on Tuesdays were the artists who came and filled Stéphane's house with their drawings and paintings of him. These “Tuesday” works of art are now worth tens of millions of dollars though very few people realize Stéphane Mallarmé is the man portrayed. These works of art sell for millions because they were created by Manet, Degas, Gaugin, Whistler, Renoir and Munch.   Auguste Rodin would pop in from time to time even though he was busy sculpting The Thinker. Claude Monet said very good things about the snacks. Yes, these were the days when legends walked the earth but they did not yet realize they were legends. In Paris they were known only as Les Mardistes, derived from the French word for Tuesday; “The Tuesday people of Stéphane Mallarmé.”   Mallarmé believed poetry should evoke thoughts through suggestion rather than description and that it should approach the abstraction of music.   Music! Claude Debussy, speaking of his masterpiece The Afternoon of a Faun, said “The music of this prelude is a very free illustration of Mallarmé's beautiful poem… a succession of scenes through which pass the desires and dreams of the faun in the heat of the afternoon. Then, tired of pursuing the timorous flight of nymphs and naiads, he succumbs to intoxicating sleep…”   Likewise, Ravel wrote Trois poèmes de Stéphane Mallarmé shortly after Mallarmé died, fantastic music dedicated to his memory.   It's easy to understand why musicians and impressionist painters liked Mallarmé. He said, “I am creating a language which must necessarily spring from a quite new conception of poetry, and I define it in these words: To paint, not the thing, but the effect which it produces.”   Mallarmé liked images of snow, ice, swans, gems, mirrors, cold stars, and women's fans. He saw the poet's function as being, above all, “to give a purer meaning to the words of the tribe.”   The music of Debussy and Ravel. The sculpture of Rodin. The words of Proust, Wilde and Yeats. The paintings of Monet, Degas, Gaugin and Renoir.   The world may have forgotten Stéphane Mallarmé but we will never forget his tribe.   Les Mardistes.   It is enough.   Roy H. Williams

Jill Jonnes talks about her new book, Eiffel's Tower: And the World's Fair Where Buffalo Bill Beguiled Paris, the Artists Quarreled, and Thomas Edison Became a Count.Built in 1889 as the centerpiece of the World's Fair, the Eiffel Tower has been an iconic image of modern times, as much a beacon of technological progress as an enduring symbol of Paris and French culture. But as engineer Gustave Eiffel built the now-famous landmark, he stirred up a storm of vitriol from Parisian tastemakers, lawsuits, and predictions of certain structural calamity.  Historian Jill Jonnes presents a compelling account of the tower's creation and Belle Epoque France: Buffalo Bill and Annie Oakley transfixed Parisian audiences in sold-out shows at the tower's opening, Edison took stock of European technology, and Gaugin, van Gogh and Whistler mingled under the gaze of Gustave Eiffel and his tower.Jill Jonnes is the author of Conquering Gotham, Empires of Light, and South Bronx Rising. She was named a National Endowmennt for the Humanities scholar and has received several grants from the Ford Foundation.Recorded On: Tuesday, May 5, 2009
