Metropolitan Museum of Art curator Stephanie Herdrich joins Carl for an in-depth look at how the career and personal life of Gilded Age artist John Singer Sargent evolved over his ten-year period in Paris from the 1870's to the mid 1880's.  Sargent is the subject of a major new exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art that focuses on this period beginning in his late adolescent years and leading up to the creation of his masterpiece -  the grand, imposing and scandalous portrait of Virginie Gautreau, known as  "Madame X". Stephanie discusses some of Sargent's greatest works during this period, as well as some of his most important professional and personal relationships, all of which contributed to a boundary breaking artistic vision. This show was edted by Kieran Gannon.

This week, by listener request from Josh on the Gold Coast, we're diving into the mysterious and often misunderstood world of the Occult. What does that word actually mean? And where does Asetianism—a secretive spiritual path rooted in ancient Egyptian mysticism—fit into it?We speak with Sarah, a dedicated practitioner of Asetianism, who shares how this esoteric tradition has transformed her spiritual life. Far from the fangs and theatrics often associated with modern vampire culture, Asetianism is a serious and disciplined path focused on sacred knowledge, the divine feminine, and ancient spiritual memory.

Following the death of Pope Francis on Easter Monday, The Art Newspaper's managing editor, Louis Jebb, who has written an extensive obituary of the late pontiff, joins Ben Luke to talk about the late pope's engagement with art and with the Vatican art collections. Wednesday 23 April was the 250th anniversary of the birth of JMW Turner, one of the greatest British artists. A host of exhibitions and events are marking this moment, and we speak to Amy Concannon, the senior curator of historic British art at Tate Britain, about Turner's enduring appeal. And this episode's Work of the Week is arguably John Singer Sargent's most famous—and in its time, his most infamous—painting, Madame X (1883-84). A portrait of Virginie Amélie Avegno Gautreau, it features in a major show of Sargent's work that opens this week at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, before travelling later in the year to the Musée d'Orsay in Paris. Our associate digital editor, Alexander Morrison, discusses the picture with Stephanie L. Herdrich, a co-curator of the exhibition.You can explore the Turner Bequest at tate.org.uk—the full collection will be online later this year.

We will meet the subject, the American-born Parisian It-Girl Virginie Amélie Avegno Gautreau, and learn just how her appearance in Sargent's portrait shocked even the most jaded of Parisians when it was displayed at one of the world's most prestigious art exhibitions, the Salon de Paris, in 1884.

Madame X is an amazing singer-songwriter from the Dallas area who started with humble beginnings. Now she is making her mark on the Dallas scene of music! Join me as we discuss her fascinating journey and uplifting story!

Edith Minturn was a Gilded Age society beauty. Isaac Newton Phelps Stokes was a New York architect passionate about preserving the city's past.  When John Singer Sargent accepted the commission to paint their portrait as a wedding present, he perhaps didn't realize how difficult it would prove to be. Capturing Edith Minturn Stokes' strong personality as one of the era's "new woman" resulted in a portrait that in some ways was as scandalous as his famous "Madame X". Author and Historian Jean Zimmerman joins The Gilded Gentleman to reveal the real story behind this famous portrait, along with just who Newton Phelps Stokes and Edith Minturn really were. The third part of this story is of course Sargent himself who broke new ground and broke a few conventions in portraying "Mr. and Mrs. I.N. Phelps Stokes" as they really were. This episode was edited by Kieran GannonGet your tickets for the Bowery Boys Gilded Age Weekend, featuring Carl Raymond, the Gilded Gentleman -- May 29-June 1

La reine de la pop a vécu une année pour le moins mouvementée : entre la fin triomphale de sa tournée mondiale, The Celebration Tour, et l'écriture de son biopic, qui pourrait finalement se transformer en série, Madonna n'a pas chômé ! Mais ce qui fait vibrer les fans en ce moment, c'est une rumeur qui devient réalité : un nouvel album en préparation. Cinq ans et demi après Madame X, c'est un retour particulièrement attendu, car jamais dans sa carrière Madonna n'avait pris autant de temps entre deux disques. Et attention, elle ne fait pas les choses à moitié ! Pour ce 15ème opus, la star tease des collaborations prestigieuses. Parmi elles, le hitmaker Max Martin, à qui l'on doit des tubes planétaires pour The Weeknd, Taylor Swift ou Britney Spears. Mais aussi un autre nom qui fait saliver : Stuart Price, connu pour ses... • La suite sur https://www.radiomelodie.com/podcasts/12734-madonna-bientot-de-retour.html

Bioaktuella Gladiator II vill spela på vår tids besatthet av Romarriket och spegla vår tids våldsamheter och politiska turbulens genom antikens lins. Vi diskuterar antikfilmens historia och framtid! Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. För 25 år sedan blåste Russel Crowes Gladiator liv i den insomnade antikfilmgenren.

PLUS don't miss Jen and Amy's discussion about foods they ate as kids that they wouldn't dare touch now, and the cooking shows that first caught their attention as young wives and moms. * * * Thought-Provoking Quotes: “I think that we all need one person and we don't need a lot of people, just need one person who really believes in us. And fortunately for me, it was Jeffrey…He always made me feel like I was smart and I could accomplish anything I wanted to do with no reservations, no judgment. And it doesn't have to be a spouse. It can be a sister. It can be a teacher. It can be a parent. We all need to find that one person who really believes in us. At least that's my experience.” - Ina Garten “I think one of the things that we're always taught when we're young is; what are you going to be when you grow up? And you're not going to be one thing anymore. You're going to do something and it's going to lead to something else, and then it's going to lead to something else. If you decide when you're young what you're going to be and that's it, you're never going to learn anything. I think it's the twists and turns that are really interesting.” - Ina Garten Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Feed These People by Jen Hatmaker - https://shop.jenhatmaker.com/products/ftp-book Be My Guest with Ina Garten - https://bit.ly/3TvsfIx Be Ready When Luck Happens: A Memoir by Ina Garten - https://bit.ly/3ZndFqh Strapless: John Singer Sargent and the Fall of Madame X by Deborah Davis - https://bit.ly/3XPOo76 Party of the Century: The Fabulous Story of Truman Capote and His Black and White Ball by Deborah Davis - https://bit.ly/4gvQ6l6 The Oprah Winfrey Show: Reflections on an American Legacy - https://bit.ly/47r1QS1 Tina Turner: My Love Story - https://bit.ly/3Xu76j1 Ina Garten on 60 Minutes - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REyYFeqEKZg An Unmarried Woman - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Unmarried_Woman Ina's Interview with John Grisham - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQ9jYxkbm6s Guest's Links: Barefoot Contessa (Ina's Website) - https://barefootcontessa.com/ Ina's Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/InaGarten Ina's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOlnd-2UlwJuWcnfEKt28yg Ina's Pinterest - https://br.pinterest.com/inaofficial/ Ina's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/inagarten/ Connect with Jen!

She stands, tall, in her black dress, the epitome of class, style, and grace. Suspended in time as a relic from a gilded age of the past, her effortless attitude has made her cooler than cool for well over a century. Dubbed Madame X, her identity has been clouded in mystery, only adding to her allure. But in this episode we give Madame X back her name and share her incredible life story.Listen to ArtMuse's episode on Virginie Amélie Gautreau, an American-born socialite who sent shock waves through Paris with her avant-garde outfits and experimental make-up. Her story traverses the Atlantic, taking us from the French Quarter of New Orleans to Paris at the height of its golden age. In this episode, we explore her rise to celebrity status and the infamous painting that led to it all crashing down. I have included images, resources and suggestions for further reading on the ArtMuse website and Instagram. Today's episode was written by me, your host, Grace Anna.

Gaspar Varela aprendeu a tocar guitarra portuguesa aos sete anos, para poder acompanhar a bisavó Celeste Rodrigues nas casas de fado. Em 2017 dá-se o feliz encontro com Madonna e o convite para que Gaspar se juntasse à tour “Madame X”, a digressão da rainha da pop com sonoridades inspiradas em Lisboa. A experiência estimulou-o a criar o projeto “Expresso Transatlântico”, juntamente com o irmão, Sebastião Varela, e o amigo Rafael Matos, com o brilhante 1º álbum  “Ressaca Bailada” (2023). O que não consta da sua biografia oficial é que Gaspar talvez seja o primeiro músico a “surfar” a multidão com uma guitarra portuguesa.

Curator Ekow Eshun reframes the Black figure in historic and contemporary art, surveying its presences, absences, and representations in Western/European art history, the African diaspora, and beyond, via The Time is Always Now (2024). In 1956, the American author James Baldwin wrote: ‘There is never time in the future in which we will work out our salvation. The challenge is in the moment, the time is always now.' Heeding Baldwin's urgent call, Ekow Eshun's new exhibition brings together 22 leading contemporary African diasporic artists from the UK and the US, whose practices emphasise the Black figure through mediums such as painting, drawing, and sculpture. These figurative artists and artworks address difficult histories like slavery, colonialism, and racism and, at the same time, speak to contemporary experiences of Blackness from their own personal perspectives. Ekow explains how artists like Kerry James Marshall, Amy Sherald, and Thomas J. Price acknowledge the paradox of race, and the increased cultural visibility and representation of lived experiences. Beyond celebration, though, The Time Is Always Now follow the consequences of these artists' practices, and what is at stake in depicting the Black figure today. We discuss the plurality of perspectives on view, and how fragmented, collage-like works by Nathaniel Mary Quinn, Lorna Simpson, and Titus Kaphar reconsider W.E.B. Du Bois' understanding of ‘double consciousness' (1897) as a burden, to a 21st century vantage point. Ekow shares the real people depicted in Michael Armitage's surrealistic, religious scenes, whilst connecting works with shared motifs from Godfried Donkor's boxers, to Denzil Forrester and Chris Ofili's dancing forms. We talk about how how history is not just in the past, and how we might think more ‘historically from the present'. Plus, we consider the real life relationships in works by Njideka Akunyili Crosby and Jordan Casteel, - and those shared between artists like Henry Taylor and Noah Davis - shifting the gaze from one of looking at, to looking with, Black figures. Starting at the National Portrait Gallery in London, The Time is Always Now: Artists Reframe the Black Figure travels to The Box in Plymouth from 28 June to 29 September 2024. It will then tour to the Philadelphia Museum of Art and North Carolina Museum of Art in the US into 2025.

With an international background, PATRICK SOLURI is a New York City based composer of music for ballet, opera and film/TV. His love of telling stories through music is evident in a large body of work for the stage, screen and concert hall. Mr. Soluri has had 11 ballet scores performed internationally. This includes a commission and eight sold out performances of JUST BEFORE NOW (2017) at Ballet de l'Opéra National de Bordeaux (France). The same creative team, led by German choreographer Xenia Wiest and costume designer Melanie Frost, first collaborated on TO BE CONTINUED (aka “Continuum” 2009) which was commissioned and performed 18 times over two seasons to great acclaim by Staatsballett Berlin. In 2016 this ballet won the Grande Prixe (1st prize) at the Berritz International Choreographic Competition, and the music was a finalist/winner of the Kaleidescope 2020 international composers competition (with over 8,000 submissions). The latest production is in the 2022/23 season by Ballet X Schwerin in Germany.  During the pandemic the same creative team featuring Xenia Wiest collaborated on “Nacht Ohne Morgen” with Xenia also as the ballet director of Ballett X Schwerin (Germany),  receiving rave reviews and 13 performances in the 2021/22 season, plus 4 additional performances in the 2022/23 season. Other notable ballet works include three productions of MADAME X (1999, 2003, 2019), featuring American Ballet Theater principal Marcelo Gomes, and NY City Ballet principals Abi Stafford and Ask La Cour; FIRE & AIR, premiered at The Kennedy Center with Mr. Soluri conducting; and FANCY NANCY, based on the hit children's books. Mr. Soluri's ballets have been performed by STAATSBALLETT BERLIN (Germany), BALLET DE L'OPÉRA NATIONAL DE BORDEAUX (France), BALLETT X SCHWERIN (Germany), INTERMEZZO DANCE CO (New York City), DANCES PATRELLE (New York City), BOWEN McCAULEY DANCE (DC), and CUYAHOGA VALLEY YOUTH BALLET (OH). In opera, Mr. Soluri was a finalist with librettist Deborah Brevoort for ALBERT NOBBS in the 2018 Pellicciotti Opera Composition Prize who then commissioned and work-shopped a 20-minute excerpt in September 2016. In January 2018 ALBERT NOBBS was showcased as part of Opera America's "New Works Forum," with two new scenes added, and won the 2019 Frontiers Competition at FORT WORTH OPERA (FWO). His one-act opera EMBEDDED, commissioned by AMERICAN LYRIC THEATER, also won the 2013 Frontiers Competition at FWO, and had its fully staged world premiere in March 2014 at FARGO-MOORHEAD OPERA, followed by six performances at FWO in their Spring 2016 season where the NY Times praised "Mr. Soluri's skillfully scored music…” Mr. Soluri is also known for his series of 10 minute comic operas which have performed around the world, four of which have premiered at CARNEGIE HALL. With nearly a dozen productions, his most performed short opera is the dark comedy FIGARO's LAST HANGOVER. The sequel, FIGARO & THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE was commissioned & premiered by FWO in 2013. His opera INFERNO was featured in the prestigious ‘2003 VOX Showcasing American Composers' by NEW YORK CITY OPERA. In addition, Mr. Soluri's operas have been performed by VIENNE EN VOIX FESTIVAL, NEVADA OPERA, CENTER CITY OPERA THEATER, URBAN ARIAS, OPERA ON TAP, UNIVERSITY OF ALBANY, RTB, JUVENTAS, and L'ARIETTA SINGAPORE. Mr. Soluri has also composed numerous film scores, has a vast library of music for film/TV, and a film trailer that showed on 19,000 film screens in the US. Other projects include orchestrating and arranging for the EMMY AWARD winning WONDERPETS, with Sean Lennon on the film score for ALTER EGOS, and scoring the indie short HOSTILE TAKEOVER (2018). Additionally, he has hundreds of cues in various film/tv music production libraries (including SONY/ATV, ReelTracks, and ScoreKeepers), which has been featured worldwide on various TV shows and networks, such as TLC, LOGO and DISCOVERY - including hit shows like NBC's "World of Adventure Sports" and "America's Got Talent." Other works include various chamber and orchestral commissions, including an orchestral overture commissioned by GULF COAST SYMPHONY with multiple performances in their 2014/15 season. Holding dual citizenship in the US and Portugal, Mr. Soluri was born in Brazil, and raised in NYC attending a Montessori School (in Milan & NYC) and later Rudolf Steiner (a Waldorf School). At Bennington College Mr. Soluri studied composition with Tobias Picker and Alan Shawn, then received a BM in classical composition from Manhattan School of Music as a scholarship recipient studying with Aaron J. Kernis and Nils Vigeland. He received a MM in composition from Univ. of Louisville where he held the Moritz von Bomhard Fellowship for Opera Composition.

We're back with a full episode! This week we are in Geneseo, Illinois...or are we in Genesco?  If our steadfast leader Dr. Jess tells us it is spelled Genesco, then that's the new name of the town.  This delightful small town is about 150 miles west of Chicago, and has been around for close to 200 years.  A main stop on the Grand Excursion, the birthplace of Madame X and the site of a super-cool gingerbread contest, Genesco has tons of history and charm.  We hope you enjoy our virtual romp through Genesco, and the improv fun we created, inspired by stories found in The Geneseo Republic.     Small Town News--whose headline is it, anyway? @SmallTownNewsImprov

Episode 215: First up in Tidbits: Joe and Kari's thoughts on the new Wham! documentary that is streaming on Netflix, so make sure you've watched it before listening (the doc is highly recommended!). Obscure Soundtrack Songs: If you've never heard of the movie Party Party, it's okay because Joe and Kari had never heard of it until they each located a copy of the soundtrack in different record stores. Songs from Altered Images and Modern Romance are discussed. Next up is Fatal Beauty, a movie that Joe watched quite a bit as a child, for some reason? Music from Shannon, The System, and (most importantly) Madame X is highlighted. Could've Been So Beautiful: The segment that swaps out overrated top 20 hits for lesser known "hits" makes a return to HRT80s. Find out which frenetic songs are swapped out for songs that deserved so much more. 

It's Madonna's eleventh tour and she decided to go "small-scale" with it! But don't you worry, our guest is anything but!

You'll see, somehow, someday or perhaps already that Madonna's use of background video screens for her tours have evolved, even if we go deeper and deeper back to The Virgin Tour and Who's That Girl Tour. I welcome Beaureguarde Von Hoffman of the Von Hoffman Picture Company to talk me through some of our favorites that come alive for us. He also talks about his experience pitching a background video screen to Madonna's team for the Madame X tour.

Historiquement Vôtre réunit 3 personnages classés X (mais qui n'ont rien de pornographiques) : Malcolm Little qui a choisi le surnom de Malcolm X pour effacer le passé d'esclave de ses ancêtres et le nom resté associé, devenu, sous ce pseudonyme célèbre, l'une des figures de la lutte pour les droits des Afro-Américains. Puis, elle aussi, c'est aux Etats-Unis qu'elle est née, mais c'est en France qu'elle a vécu : la mondaine parisienne Virginie Gautreau, alias « Madame X » sur un tableau du peintre John Singer Sargent qui l'a représentée, sans se douter qu'il allait provoquer un véritable tollé… l'obligeant à gommer l'identité de son modèle ! Et un rappeur américain qui, à tout juste 24 ans, révolutionne l'univers du rap en assumant et revendiquant son homosexualité : Lil Nas X.

Stéphane Bern, entouré de ses chroniqueurs historiquement drôles et parfaitement informés, s'amuse avec l'Histoire – la grande, la petite, la moyenne… - et retrace les destins extraordinaires de personnalités qui n'auraient jamais pu se croiser, pour deux heures où le savoir et l'humour avancent main dans la main. Aujourd'hui, : la mondaine parisienne Virginie Gautreau, alias « Madame X » sur un tableau du peintre John Singer Sargent qui l'a représentée, sans se douter qu'il allait provoquer un véritable tollé… l'obligeant à gommer l'identité de son modèle ! 

En France, on les appellerais Monsieur ou Madame X. Aux États-Unis, c'est John et Jane Doe. Pour comprendre d'où vient ces noms, il faut remonter au 14 e siècle pendant le règne du roi Britannique Edouard III. A cette période de l'Histoire, les propriétaires peu scrupuleux pouvaient de se débarrasser rapidement des squatteurs de leurs terres. Une invention aussi rude que son époque !

(Photo Amy Ní Fhearraigh by Kip Carroll) Rosemary Kennedy has often been referred to as the "missing Kennedy". She was the sister of former US President John F. Kennedy and despite been part of one of the most famous families in American politics, very little was known about Rosemary. Until recently. Her story has been brought to life by the Irish National Opera in Least Like the Other – Searching for Rosemary Kennedy at the Royal Opera House. Director Netia Jones and soprano Amy Ní Fhearraigh join Jessica Creighton to discuss the production and its themes. The First Lady of Ukraine, Olena Zelenska, told CNN news that it is the women in Ukraine who are bearing the brunt of the war, caring for their children and older relatives, and keeping things going. Someone who knows this only too well is Wendy Warrington, an NHS nurse and midwife who has been going out to give medical help and support to women and children in Ukraine since March last year. She joins Jessica to talk about the situations that she sees every day, and how women really are at the heart of it all. The Queen of Reinvention, Madonna, has announced her first ever greatest hits tour to mark 40 years since her breakout single, Holiday. She'll be playing 35 dates around the world. Performing hits from her 1983 self-titled debut album to 2019's Madame X. Jess dicusses her influence with Fiona Sturges, Arts writer for The Guardian and the Financial Times. Yesterday serial rapist David Carrick was formally dismissed by the Metropolitan Police. He pleaded guilty to 24 rapes and multiple sexual offences. Sir Mark Rowley, the Met Commissioner, has apologised to his victims for the force's failings. The force is currently investigating 1,000 sexual and domestic abuse claims involving about 800 of its officers. For survivors hearing about these cases in the news can be very difficult. Jess speaks to Nicola Brookes who was groomed by a police officer. The independent office of Police conduct said he “knowingly targeted and exploited” her. During the Covid 19 lockdown, the writer Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett decided - like many of us - to get a pet. She acquired Mackerel, a kitten, whose antics over one year helped her examine her desire and fears about becoming a mother and inspired her to write her latest book ‘The Year of the Cat'. Jessica Creighton asks Rhiannon about cat ladies and the extraordinary cat characters of her childhood, and the deeper themes of her book - anxiety and recovery from trauma, family love and why she used to say, “I'm not sure I want children.” Presented by Jessica Creighton Producer: Louise Corley Editor: Beverley Purcell
