durée : 00:34:59 - Les Nuits de France Culture - par : Philippe Garbit, Albane Penaranda, Antoine Dhulster - Nadine Satiat, auteure d'une biographie de Gertrude Stein, retraçait son parcours au micro d'Alain Veinstein, en soulignant sa démarche créatrice propre et l'importance de son oeuvre littéraire. Pour la couverture de la grande biographie qu'elle lui avait consacrée en 2010 chez Flammarion, Nadine Satiat avait choisi l'agrandissement d'un portrait de Getrude Stein réalisée par le photographe anglais Cecil Beaton, en 1935. Cheveux courts anthracites, chemise blanche nouée par une broche autour du cou, gilet à fleurs, elle s'y tient debout, droite face à l'objectif, les mains sagement croisées au niveau du ventre. L'expression du visage est neutre, le regard franc, intelligent. Si Gertrude Stein fut un modèle tant prisé par les peintres, les sculpteurs et les photographes, de Picasso à Picabia en passant par Man Ray, Jo Davidson ou Félix Vallotton, c'est sans doute parce qu'il y avait en elle quelque chose d'irréductible, quelque chose qui toujours excédait le portrait, ou lui résistait. Quelque chose comme une liberté radicale, absolue, que la biographie de Nadine Satiat s'employait à mettre en lumière.  * En février 2011, elle était l'invitée d'Alain Veinstein et retraçait le temps de deux émissions le parcours de cette femme juive, américaine et homosexuelle, née en 1874 en Pennsylvanie, morte en 1946 à Neuilly.  Par Alain Veinstein Avec Nadine Satiat Réalisation Anne Franchini Du jour au lendemain - Nadine Satiat pour sa biographie de Gertrude Stein 2/2 (1ère diffusion : 08/02/2011) - réalisation : Virginie Mourthé
After deciding that 2 hours of Jo Davidson-eque repetition of "no comment" wouldn't really work as a podcast, the usual gang of seven get down to some serious business this week with a range of topics, scales and periods all covered. Things kick off with a Victrix Hanomag House of Horror, segwaying neatly into Stug Life to keep the tiny WW2 theme alive. The exciting side of Swiss colours get discussed (erm.. red and white?) just before we venture into the murky undergrowth of "is that your Perry-provided flag or are you just not pleased to see me?". There is a vivid demonstration of Army Painter Varnish Mid-life Murk (and Are We Over It Now?), we get down and dirty with the German trousers, wonder if there is any difference between Artizan and Crusader, and all do a little summertime almost morris-men-like dance with the Hopping Pararoopers. We then dive right into the interview with Herve published on No Dice No Glory and try and pick apart the new rules and troop types he mentions for ADLG v4 as we all wait furiously for it to clear customs. The new lists also get a superficial scan over, and we are all extremely excited about the prospects for the Viagra Kingdom and the new Scouse Kingdoms army lists. With so much ADLG v4 chat there is no ISITYAA this week, but there is Andy's Quiz, and it's music - and the tumbleweed sound effect also gets another outing as well. Tamsin's Polish Paras Tamsins US Paras Tims Thracians
