Art Territory April 22, 2016 GAGOSIAN GALLERY The Pool as a Fire Jean Pigozzi’s book, “Pool Party: Sixty Years at the World’s Most Famous Pool” Una Meistere Jean Pigozzi. Elle Macpherson, 1991. Archival pigment print, 20 x 24 inches (50.8 x 61 cm). Edition of 15, plus 3 APs. © Jean Pigozzi. Courtesy of Gagosian Gallery “I see the symbol of the pool as a place where people used to settle around the fire. It’s a central focus of fun activities, where people are very relaxed, tell stories, jump in the pool and have a good time. That’s why I did this book, it’s completely based around the pool, and only around the pool,” says Jean Pigozzi – photographer, art collector, philanthropist and one of today's most extravagant characters on the contemporary art scene – when asked by Arterritory.com what is it about swimming pools that fascinates him, and could they be seen as a symbol of hedonism. Rizzoli Publications has just released Pigozzi's book, “Pool Party: Sixty Years at the World’s Most Famous Pool”, while New York's Gagosian Gallery has opened the doors to the exhibition “Johnny's Pool” (through May 28). The book is a collection of more than 100 photographs taken alongside Pigozzi's legendary “blue pool” at his Villa Dorane, on Cap d'Antibes. On the cover, supermodel Elle Macpherson carouses on an inflatable pool toy, while the pages within feature practically every show-business star of the 20th and 21st centuries: Sharon Stone, Naomi Campbell, Mick Jagger, Michael Douglas, Jack Nicholson, Robert de Niro, Helmut Newton, Swifty Lazar, Jane Fonda, Elizabeth Taylor, Mick Jagger, Julian Schnabel, Larry Gagosian, Woody Allen, and even Bono, who writes in the book's introduction: “Villa Dorane seemed like a chapter F.

1 Franco Zeffirelli's Three Shakespeare Films: the TAMING of the SHREW
1 Franco Zeffirelli’s three Shakespeare films: THE TAMING OF THE SHREW (1967), ROMEO AND JULIET (1968), and HAMLET (1990) The films get better as they go along: The Shrew is a disgrace; Romeo is a curate’s egg, good in parts; and Hamlet is the best film of the play that there is. The Taming of the Shrew To understand what Kate’s problem is, you have to get Bianca right: Bianca is a spoiled daddy’s girl, whose two-faced, manipulative way with her father makes Kate sick, and forces her to the opposite extreme. For Kate, watching Bianca, all good manners are hypocrisy, so she does nothing but talk plain, and offends everybody. She’s desperate for a man, but alienates all potential men by her refusal to play society’s game. The men on offer are boring anyway, so when Petruchio comes along, who’s as big a foe of hypocrisy as she is, and kind of crazy to boot, she’s intrigued, and fancies him at sight, but is now stuck in the rut she’s created for herself. His job, which he carries out with ingenuity, is to reconstruct her attitude to play-acting (that is, to “good manners”), and teach her that it can be enjoyable as well as degrading. He succeeds (the scene where he insists that the sun is the moon proves that she’s got the point); she loves him, and her famous last speech, seemingly male chauvinist, is in reality an act which she puts on to please him, and to show the other women present what a wonderful husband she’s got, in contrast to theirs.

Swansea University
Impact case study (REF3b) Institution: Swansea University Unit of Assessment: 30 - History Title of case study: Re-discovering Richard Burton: generating new creative representations and commemorations of a cultural icon 1. Summary of the impact New research by historian Chris Williams at Swansea University has made a contribution to economic prosperity via the creative sector through the publication, in October 2012, of The Richard Burton Diaries. Using the critical resource of his private diaries, this volume, for the first time, presents and interprets the personal reflections of the actor and Hollywood screen legend, Richard Burton (1925-1984). Sustained international press interest in the months before and after publication, helped the book to become a global best-seller. As a result, Williams’ edition has influenced public discourse, generating new ways of thinking about Burton’s life and personality, prompting film and television companies to commission new drama and documentary programmes about the actor, and influencing these creative outputs by shaping the way Burton is portrayed in them. It has also given momentum to a campaign to commemorate his career with the installation of a Richard Burton ‘star’ on Hollywood Boulevard. 2. Underpinning research a) Context The surviving diaries of Richard Burton, written between 1940 and 1983, were deposited at the University Archives in Swansea in May 2005 by Burton’s widow, Sally. Williams, appointed Professor of Welsh History at Swansea in 2005, had sole access to the diaries from the time of their deposit and was granted a period of leave from teaching duties for the academic year 2009-10 to undertake the research required to bring an authoritative edition of Burton’s words into print.

While the British were initially focused on demilitarization and reparations, their goals quickly changed to that of rehabilitation and democratization. In order to accomplish their policy goals, they enlisted the help William Shakespeare, a playwright who had always found favor on the German stage. The British, recognizing that the Germans were hungry for entertainment and were looking for escape, capitalized on this love for Shakespeare by putting his plays back on the stage. Their hope was to influence the Germans into being better members of society by showing them classic plays that aligned with their occupation goals of restoring religion and promoting democracy in the region. Shakespeare‘s timelessness, his ability to reach a broad audience, and the German familiarity with the playwright is the reason why his plays were especially influential in post-World War II Germany.

Since the publication of his first book in , Bloom has written more than forty books of literary criticism, several books discussing religion, and one novel. In Alexandria , Cleopatra I was called the Syrian.

I was surprised in Chapter 15 by the look at the role of the Clown in the play. Cleopatra identifies herself with the Nile and with the earth of Egypt. That book was the last surviving manuscript of an ancient Roman philosophical epic by Lucretius—a beautiful poem containing the most dangerous ideas: that the universe functioned without the aid of gods, that religious fear was damaging to human life, and that matter was made up of very small particles.
