Impressionism Continued from Page 1 coming middle class and haute-bourgeoisie. How this milieu provided a foil for fashion is amply dem- onstrated. Seventy-fi ve major fi gure paintings have been as- sembled from museums world-wide. Among them: Monet’s “Camille,” his 19-year-old mistress, in green dress and fur-trimmed jacket (Kunsthalle, Bremen, Germany); Renoir’s “Madame Georges Charpentier And Her Children,” casually posed with their big, patient dog (Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY); Manet’s “Re- pose,” a portrait of artist Berthe Mor- Gustave Courbet shocked the art-going public with “Young Ladies on Banks of the Seine” (1856), because his subject evidently removed her isot (Rhode Island dress before falling asleep, outdoors – not proper behavior for a decent School of Design); woman, and not an acceptable painting for the French Salon.

Captain Frederick Gustavus Barnaby (1885) cut a dashing fi gure in his military uniform, as portrayed by James Tissot. (National Portrait Gallery, London) he’d taken his hat off.” Based on a poem by Alfred de Musset, this morning-after scene depicts our hero as remorseful, standing beside the open win- dow and contemplating suicide. Such anecdotes add plenty of spice to otherwise buttoned-up apparel. Though women’s fashions constitute the major motif of the show, one entire gallery is devoted to the upper-class and bourgeois male – with his top hat, walking stick, pocket watch and plenty of at- titude. Bazille’s portrait of Renoir, seated on a chair with his knees up, is in this gallery. So is James Tis- sot’s painting of Captain Frederick Gustavus Barn- aby, resplendent in his military uniform – and a huge group portrait, also by Tissot, of fash- ionable males self-consciously posed on an im- pressive terrace. James Tissot is, for me, the biggest discov- ery of this exhi- bition. A French painter, though not strictly speaking an Im- pressionist, he achieved great success through Lovely gowns with ruffl es, ribons and fl ounces his fl attering were worn by James Tissot’s models in paint- ings such as “July: Specimen of a Portrait” portraits of so- (1878).

The story concerns Binky Rudich, his friend Viv and his almost human sheep named Bob Tinker who has a 2-speed clock idea that makes time on earth move at the same time, but also another at a second, slower speed where everything would stand still on earth and they could spin off.... and of course they do spin off, into the Goolagong System ruled by Topax and guarded by the Great Space Pandas.

On Sat., Au- gust 3, you can retrace their footsteps. Join the Na- tional Park Service and guest speakers for a full day of special programs and hikes in commemoration of the centennial of the 1913 International Phytogeo- graphic Excursion.

At 1:30 p.m. join USGS scientist Noel Pavlovic at the national lakeshore’s Paul H. Douglas Center for a one-hour talk on Brit- ish scientist Arthur Tansley, who attended the 1913 excursion.

THE August 1, 2013 Page 27 I Took a Jog Through My Life Today I took a jog through my life today Where we’d sneak late in the pool And was glad to see more good than bad. We didn’t think we were bad, The faces and sounds and touches of the past But we knew we were cool. Reminded me of how much love we had. I ran through Michiana, Where golf carts rule the street, I ran past the school And the deer scamper through the woods And the little tree for little Marc. At the sound of our feet. I ran past the ball fi eld Where Moose hit it out of the park. I ran across Ponchartrain I ran past the ‘hams And on to the Drive. And the site of the old dunking tree. The blue and green water, I ran down Moore Road And the beach so alive. And the school that developed me. We threw our bikes in the trees I ran past the church And spent every day in the sand. And started to cry, To us, there was no question, So much love Long Beach is our Promised Land. In the memories fl ying by. We laughed and loved I ran by the fi elds And changed and grew, And heard the screams of coaches and boys, The waves kept rolling, Growing taller and stronger, Each year the beach would renew. The echoes a beautiful noise. Hands held, fi rst kisses, I ran down Old Grand Beach Road Singing along as Otis sang “Shout!” The forest now full of homes. Cuddled close to the fi re, We rode our bikes through the trees As we slowly faded out. Making ramps out of stones. As I ran past those waves, I passed by the stables I looked into them, and they into me Where we rode horses on dates; They are powerful and strong Into Grand Beach And graceful and free. Where it’s always an hour late. I ran into everything today I ran by the theater That I want to be. Where our friends on stage would play, I’m still in awe I took a jog through my life today Of that kind of bravery today. And I was grateful to see, There’s Grand Beach Golf, The memories of my past, The best place for...a snow machine. A parade of gifts for me. All my South Side families, And one insane New Year’s Eve scene. Lee W. Dabagia, Jr. I ran past the Inn, copyright 2013

Pilgrim’s Wilderness: A True Story of Faith and Madness on the Alaska Frontier by Tom Kizzia (hardback, $25.00 retail) First off, I must stress that this is a work of nonfi ction. Even Hollywood couldn’t make up this twisted and convoluted story. It takes a man who knows Alaska, its people and its land, and who has the research skills and storytelling ability to make this one of the best nonfi ction books of the year, and that man is author Tom Kizzia. The author’s note at the beginning of the book tells us: “In the winter of 2002, a man with the wild gray beard of a biblical prophet showed up in the remote Alaska ghost town of McCarthy with his wife and fourteen children. He called himself Pap Pilgrim.
