John Singer Sargent is often thought of as a quintessentially American painter. Born in Florence in 1856, he shuttled across the Atlantic, painting society divas and wealthy eccentrics, Venetian gondoliers and Spanish dancers, imbuing each of his canvases with a sense of life and movement beyond the frame. But in his new biography of the artist, The Grand Affair, Paul Fisher, a professor of American studies at Wellesley College, delves into the hidden half of Sargent's life—the portraits of male models and the romantic friendships with men that he kept hidden. Fisher joins Smarty Pants to discuss what Sargent has to offer the contemporary art lover, and how our understanding of his work changed in the intervening century.

Welcome to a bonus episode of ArtCurious featuring my interview with Paul Fisher about his latest book, The Grand Affair: John Singer Sargent in His World. An iconic American artist, John Singer Sargent was also a complicated and mysterious man. While presenting himself as a reserved, buttoned-up businessman, he scandalized viewers on both sides of the Atlantic with the frankness and sensuality of his work. He charmed the possessors of new money and old, while reserving his greatest sympathies for Bedouins, Spanish dancers, and the gondoliers of Venice. At the height of his renown in Britain and America, he quit his lucrative portrait-painting career to concentrate on allegorical murals with religious themes—and on nude drawings of male models that he kept to himself and that were left undiscovered until after Sargent's death.  In his groundbreaking new biography, the scholar Paul Fisher offers a vivid life of the buttoned-up artist and his unbuttoned work. Sargent's nervy, edgy portraits exposed illicit or dark feelings in himself and his sitters—feelings that London, Paris, and New York high society was fascinated by yet kept at bay. Masterfully researched and stunningly written, The Grand Affair brings back to life one of our most beloved artists and solidifies Fisher as a master of the genre.

HAPPY 2022La représentation du corps de la femme noire serait-elle un des dernierstabous de la littérature ? Corps torturé, corps esclave, corps exotique, corpsmaternel ou corps sensuel, le corps de la femme noire apparaît comme unegrande machine à fantasmes. Nous analysons, dans le cadre de cet article, ledéveloppement des représentations du corps de la femme dans des textesécrits par des écrivaines issues de l'univers caribéen. L'intérêt de ces oeuvresest que s'y ajoute, au problème plus général de l'aliénation de la femme, celuidu passé esclavagiste. Nous abordons en particulier dans cette perspective lestextes de Marie-Célie Agnant (Haïti) et de Gisèle Pineau (Guadeloupe).Trouver l'autre mystérieuxL'amour est un mystère pour ceux qui le vivent, un mystère pour ceux qui le regardent. Nous constatons, mais nous ne comprenons pas. Pourquoi ? Parce que ce qui nous lie à l'autre est inexplicable. Aimer vraiment, c'est aller vers quelqu'un, non pas seulement pour son image (sa beauté, sa ressemblance avec tel ou tel), ni pour ce qu'il symbolise (un père, une mère, le pouvoir, l'argent), mais pour son secret. Ce secret que nous ne savons pas nommer, et qui va rencontrer le nôtre : un manque ressenti depuis l'enfance, une souffrance singulière, indéfinissable. « L'amour s'adresse à notre part d'inconnu, explique le psychanalyste Patrick Lambouley.☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆https://linktr.ee/jacksonlibon---------------------------------------------------#facebook #instagram #amour #couple #couplegoals #famille #relation #doudou #youtube #twitter #tiktok #love #reeĺs #shorts #instagood #follow #like #ouy #oyu #babyshark #lilnasx #girl #happybirthday #movie #olive #garden #menu #deviance #autotrader #trading #khan #academy #carter #carguru #ancestry #accords #abc #news #bts #cbs #huru bluebook #socialmedia #whatsapp #music #google #photography #memes #marketing #india #followforfollowback #likeforlikes #a #insta #fashion #k #trending #digitalmarketing #covid #o #snapchat #socialmediamarketing #bhfyp

According to Edinburgculturalarts.com, “The men told the deputies of having seen bright lights in the sky and of hearing a loud humming or throbbing sound. They also experienced sudden, strong winds on an otherwise calm night, and they saw flames shoot down out of the sky, presumably from one of the UFOs that had been previously seen hovering in the area. The beam of fire set ablaze all the surrounding area, including their vehicles and their mobile home.” It's All the Buzz: The Real Story Behind Buzz Aldrin's “UFO” Article link: http://mysteriousuniverse.org/2014/07/its-all-the-buzz-the-real-story-behind-buzz-aldrins-ufo/ For years there have been stories of astronauts who have purportedly observed unidentified objects while in Earth orbit, or even en route to the Moon.

According to Edinburgculturalarts.com, “The men told the deputies of having seen bright lights in the sky and of hearing a loud humming or throbbing sound.

The beam of fire set ablaze all the surrounding area, including their vehicles and their mobile home.” It's All the Buzz: The Real Story Behind Buzz Aldrin's “UFO” Article link: http://mysteriousuniverse.org/2014/07/its-all-the-buzz-the-real-story-behind-buzz-aldrins-ufo/ For years there have been stories of astronauts who have purportedly observed unidentified objects while in Earth orbit, or even en route to the Moon. Most recently, Buzz Aldrin, second man to walk on the moon during his mission with Neil Armstrong and Michael Collins aboard Apollo 11 in July of 1969, has drawn public attention for discussing a purported UFO that was seen during the mission. Two days after discarding the S4B, Aldrin and the crew aboard Apollo 11 became aware of a bright light nearby, which they considered might have been the rocket they had discarded.

The Ghostmaker (the leader of the company) and Pearl ("the mermaid woman"), once captured on film, manage to escape it. witnesses the escape, noticing that two characters have suddenly disappeared from the film, and informs . The escaped characters start roaming the streets of Cardiff. They steal the last breath of innocent people, keeping their breath in a silver flask, leaving the victims only half alive with a heartbeat, but no breath. Torchwood starts investigating the casualties and begins research on these old travelling companies. Jack used to be a member of one of the companies, performing the act of "the man who couldn't die". He tells of the "Night Travellers", who perform only during night, and the mythology surrounding them, saying that 'young children were told to hold their breath while the travelling show passed by'. The ghosts begin to bring all their other travelling carnival fellows to our reality at the old cinema but, finally, it occurs to Jack that, being filmed again, the loosened entities may be recaptured onto celluloid. Effectively, Jack manages to achieve this with a , filming all the phantasmagoric creatures. He exposes the reel to the sun then, vanishing the carnival ghosts for ever. However, for its last act before disappearing, the Ghostmaker throws the open silver flask and, despite Ianto's quick catch, most of the human souls are lost in the air, so the -like affected victims of Cardiff die, except for a child. The silver flask ends up being stored by Jack in his safe at Torchwood. Though the threat of the Night Travellers has been stopped now, Jack speculates that there could be more films with their ghosts trapped inside, confirmed by a scene at a boot-sale where a man and his son purchase an old film reel. The metal case of the film is briefly opened and, back at the Hub, Jack hears a sliver of the Night Traveller's carnival music.

When Ianto secretly gives Gwen a device with a stored hidden location, Gwen finds a facility on .
