  • Exhibition Unites for the First Time in the United States Edouard Manet's Works Depicting the Execution of Emperor Maximilian
    EXHIBITION UNITES FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE UNITED STATES EDOUARD MANET’S WORKS DEPICTING THE EXECUTION OF EMPEROR MAXIMILIAN Works Are Considered Amongst the Greatest Achievements in Early Modern Painting Manet and the Execution of Maximilian Special Exhibitions Gallery, third floor November 5, 2006–January 29, 2007 New York, October 19, 2006—Manet and the Execution of Maximilian unites for the first time in the United States a series of compositions created between 1867 and 1869 by Edouard Manet that depict the execution of Emperor Maximilian of Mexico. The exhibition—featuring the series of three large paintings, an oil sketch, and one lithograph—examines the evolution from one painting to the next, which was fueled by a steady stream of written and graphic accounts of the event. Also included in the exhibition are selected works by photographers and other artists who documented the event or whose pictures were likely sources for what Manet produced. Additionally, a small group of canvases by Manet is included to add context to the Maximilian works. This exhibition, on view in the Special Exhibitions Gallery on the third floor from November 5, 2006, to January 29, 2007, is organized by John Elderfield, The Marie-Josée and Henry Kravis Chief Curator of Painting and Sculpture, The Museum of Modern Art. Napoleon III, seeking to assert France’s economic and political power over Mexico, appointed Maximilian, a member of the Hapsburg family of Austria, emperor of that country in 1864. Three years later, Maximilian was abandoned by the French government when Napoleon III withdrew troops assigned to protect him, and was subsequently tried and executed for treason by the resurgent Mexican army.

At the beginning of the century, under the Empire, painting was classical. It was primarily engaged in rendering scenes borrowed from the antique world of Greece and Rome, and sub- jects derived from fable and mythology. Historical painting formed the essence of high art. It was based upon the nude, treated according to the classical model. Two masters David and Ingres were the representatives of this form of French art, and gave it its loftiest expression. After them, classical art was continued in an enfeebled condition by painters of only secondary importance. The new spirit of romanticism, however, which had arisen in literature, also made its appearance in painting. Delacroix was the master in whom it found its most complete expression. The tones of classical art, sober, restrained, and often cold, gave place in his work to warm and brilliant coloration. For the nicely balanced scenes of classical antiquity, he substituted compositions tumul- tuous with movement.

  • For Whom the Bells Toll
    FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS by Ernest Hemingway Flyleaf: In 1937 Ernest Hemingway traveled to Spain to cover the civil war there for the North American Newspaper Alliance. Three years later he completed the greatest novel to emerge from "the good fight," _For Whom the Bell Tolls_. The story of Robert Jordan, a young American in the International Brigades attached to an antifascist guerilla unit in the mountains of Spain, it tells of loyalty and courage, love and defeat, and the tragic death of an ideal. In his portrayal of Jordan's love for the beautiful Maria and his suberb account of El Sordo's last stand, in his brilliant travesty of La Pasionaria and his unwillingness to believe in blind faith, Hemingway surpasses his achievement in _The Sun Also Rises_ and _A Farewell to Arms_ to create a work at once rare and beautiful, strong and brutal, compassionate, moving and wise. "If the function of a writer is to reveal reality," Maxwell Perkins wrote to Hemingway after reading the manuscript, "no one ever so completely performed it." Greater in power, broader in scope, and more intensely emotional than any of the author's previous works, it stands as one of the best war novels of all time.

    REALITY AND POETIC TRADITION IN LORCA'S 'LLANTO POR IGNACIO SANCHEZ MEJIAS' by NICHOLAS JONATHAN COLLINS B.A., University of London, 1967 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER.OF ARTS in the Department of HISPANIC AND ITALIAN STUDIES We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA April, 1970. In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree tha permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by his representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Depa rtment The University of British Columbia Vancouver 8, Canada o ii ABSTRACT This thesis studies the elegy that Federico Garcia Lorca wrote to commemorate the death of his friend Ignacio Sanchez Mejias, fatally gored in mid-August 193^. Because the poem celehrates an historical event attention is first directed to the life of Ignacio and to the details of his fatal injury and its repercussions. Because some of these details have heen incorporated into the poem there follows a commentary on the poem which seeks to explain these references, as well as some of the images and metaphor;s. Some lines lack a convincing explanation hut their obscurity does not hinder to any great extent an overall comprehension of the poem.
