  • Freewheelin-On-Line Take Thirtytwo
    Freewheelin-on-line Take Thirtytwo Freewheelin 230 In Chapter 3 of ‘Chronicles. Volume 1’ – the chapter with the wonderful title of ‘New Morning’, Dylan writes about the idyllic summers he spent with his family at East Hampton, Long Island as the sixties turned slowly into the seventies: ‘I started painting landscapes there. There was plenty to do. We had five kids and often went to the beach, boated on the bay, dug for claims, spent afternoons at a lighthouse near Montauk, went to Gardiner’s Island, hunted for Captain Kidd’s buried treasure - rode bikes, go karts and pulled wagons - went to the movies and the outdoor markets … drove over to Springs a lot where de Kooning had his studio’. I doubt that Dylan, who at the time was craving anonymity, ever went knock,knock, knocking on de Kooning’s door but if he did then he may have spotted the giant canvass that forms the backdrop to this month’s Freewheelin cover. Whether the two artists ever met is not recorded but I have reunited them anyway. Willem de Kooning (1904 – 1997) was born in Rotterdam and started living in America in his twenties. He was a leading light in the American art movement of the 1940’s known as Abstract Expressionism which also spawned other luminaries such as Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothco. Paintings from this genre are easy to look at but hard to define because Abstract Expressionism is the artist expressing a deeply felt emotion by the use of form and colour on canvas. It is a non-representational, or non objective art which means that there are no concrete objects in the picture.

  • War Correspondents
    International Encyclopedia of the First World War War Correspondents provided by Kent Academic Repository View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk CORE brought to you by Tim Luckhurst Abstract At its outbreak, newspapers in the Allied and neutral democracies hoped to present vivid descriptions of the First World War. They were soon frustrated. Censorship obstructed the adventurous style of war reporting to which readers had grown accustomed. Belligerent governments wanted journalists to encourage enlistment and maintain home front morale. Many newspapers in Britain, France and America were content to behave as patriotic propagandists. All were constrained by rules and circumstances. War correspondents downplayed misery and extolled victory. Soldiers found their behavior hard to forgive. War reporting promoted the belief that newspapers could not be trusted to tell the truth. Table of Contents 1 Introduction 2 August 1914 3 Stopping the Supply 4 Orchestrated Coverage 5 Everybody Doing Gallant Deeds 6 Censorship and Self-Censorship 7 Journalists and Propaganda 8 Conclusion 9 Notes 1. Introduction It is widely held that war correspondents produced an over-optimistic depiction of trench warfare between 1914 and 1918 and that their work distorted civilian understanding of the conflict (among the proponents of this position are Christian Delporte, Martin Farrar, Niall Ferguson, Philip Knightley and Colin Lovelace). An alternative view, namely that correspondents depicted grim realities as accurately as possible within the formal and informal constraints under which they operated, has recently earned attention. Stephen Badsey argues that British war correspondents wrote “pen-portraits of the horrors of the trenches [that] were on occasion so vivid that [Field Marshall] Haig was moved to complain”.[1] British, French and American newspaper readers in 1914 expected war reporting to be 1 of 22 International Encyclopedia of the First World War exciting and revelatory.
