Abstract

The Sicilian Mafia: A True Crime Travel Guide is the first book of its kind in any language: the ultimate Cosa Nostra experience. Since 2006, author Carl Russo has photographed Mafia hotspots on the Italian island of Sicily: where the murders happened, where the godfathers lived, where their victims are buried. From the sunbaked fishing villages of the Mediterranean to the darkest alleys of Palermo, western Sicily is the exotic backdrop for more than 100 meticulously researched tales of murder and mayhem, packed with 200 photographs of the actual locations. The book's historical sweep covers 150 years of revolutions, world wars, politics and popular culture--all inextricably bound to Cosa Nostra. They include the childhood home of gangster Lucky Luciano, the hideouts of the fearsome bosses of Corleone, the tombs of the "Robin Hood" bandit and the legendary dons, the roots of the American and Canadian mafias, the Allied landing, pistol-packing priests, political assassinations, playgrounds of the new Mafia and the anti-Mafia movement. Each site and association is depicted in sharp prose and revealing images, bringing many stories to English for the first time. Whether you're planning a trip to Sicily or sticking to the comfort of your armchair, this provocative book will take you closer to the Sicilian Mafia than you dared to think possible.

Abstract

Although Pablo Picasso spotted Dora Maar at a cafe in January 1936 it is highly likely that she had come to his attention prior. As Brassaï, a Hungarian-French photographer, recalled, 'It was at Les Deux-Magots that, one day in autumn 1935, [he] met Dora. On an earlier day, he had already noticed the grave, drawn face of the young woman at a nearby table, the attentive look in her light-colored eyes, sometimes disturbing in its fixity. When Picasso saw her in the same cafe in the company of the surrealist poet Paul Éluard, who knew her, the poet introduced her to Picasso' (Brassaï, a.k.a. Gyula Halász, Conversations with Picasso [University of Chicago Press, 1999]). Tinged with a seductive mix of violence and dark eroticism, this first meeting has attained mythical status in the story of the artist's life. It reads like an unreal fantasy. A mysterious and feline beauty, which Man Ray had captured in the pictures he took of her, a companion of Georges Bataille, Dora was an accomplished photographer, close to the Surrealists revolutionary aesthetics. Picasso addressed her in French, which he assumed to be her language; she replied in Spanish, which she knew to be his. For the next decade, the painter would translate not just his fascination with the woman who had seduced him on the spot, but also his desire to escape the grip of someone who, for the first time, could intellectually aspire to be his equal. Dora would appear in his works as a female Minotaur, a Sphinx, a lunar goddess and a muse. Because of her intense artistic sensibility, her poetic gifts and her ability to participate in suffering, she was especially qualified to resonate Picasso's own inner torments during these troubled years.

Abstract

L'exposition Botero dialogue avec Picasso, présente la riche production du maître colombien sous un angle original qui explore ses affinités artistiques avec Pablo Picasso.Même si les deux artistes ne se sont jamais rencontrés, ils partagent leur appartenance au monde hispanique et un lien fort avec la Méditerranée, pour avoir tous les deux habité des pays de ce littoral. Dès sa jeunesse, Botero a observé l'oeuvre de Picasso, dont il admire la riche palette, la monumentalité et la sensualité des volumes. Plus en profondeur, Botero admire surtout le "non conformisme" (sic) de Picasso. Chez les deux artistes, la déformation des corps et des volumes correspond à un regard résolument subjectif sur la réalité et à une posture radicalement moderne dans l'histoire de la figuration, qui sont à l'origine du langage personnel et inimitable de chacun d'entre eux. Tout au long de leurs carrières respectives, les deux artistes partagent des interrogations majeures sur la peinture et sur l'art. Elles se déclinent à travers des thématiques communes que l'exposition propose de parcourir.
