Crafted with the same care and insight as her award-winning novels, Absence of Mind challenges postmodern atheists who crusade against religion under the banner of science. In Robinson’s view, scientific reasoning does not denote a sense of logical infallibility, as thinkers like Richard Dawkins might suggest. Instead, in its purest form, science represents a search for answers. It engages the problem of knowledge, an aspect of the mystery of consciousness, rather than providing a simple and final model of reality. Marilynne Robinson is the author of By defending the importance of individual reflection, Robinson Gilead, winner of the 2005 Pulitzer celebrates the power and variety of human consciousness in the Prize for fiction; Home, winner of the tradition of William James.

It smacks too much of absolute judgments and metaphysical certainties to suit the modern age. In this witty, accessible study, the prominent Marxist thinker Terry Eagleton launches a surprising defense of the reality of evil, drawing on literary, theological and psychoanalytic sources to suggest that evil, no mere medieval artifact, is a real phenomenon with palpable force in our contemporary world. In a book that ranges from St. Augustine to alcoholism, Thomas Aquinas to Thomas Mann, Shakespeare to the Holocaust, Eagleton Terry Eagleton is Professor of English investigates the frightful plight of those doomed souls who apparently Literature at the National University destroy for no reason.

  • De László and Sargent

    De László and Sargent

    De László and Sargent Richard Ormond In the year 1907 Philip de László set up as a portrait painter in London and John Singer Sargent retired. Society’s favourite portrait painter, an American, was succeeded by an Hungarian in a seamless transfer of patronage from one to the other. The people Sargent had painted in the early 1900s de László would portray a decade or more later, and occasionally the other way about. Their sitters came from the highest ranks of the British establishment. Both artists sought employment in America, and de László enjoyed a privileged position as court painter to most of Europe’s royal families. Both were cosmopolitan, international in outlook, and masters of high style and painterly panache. They understood their role in giving fresh impetus to the grand tradition of formal portraiture by harnessing a modern sense of psychology and sensibility to the age-old claims of FIG. 1 rank and status. Portraits by Sargent and de László are marked by Philip Alexius de László 1869 - 1937 flowing brushwork and scintillating effects of light and colour that The Duchess of Portland 1912 bring their subjects vividly to life. At the same time their sitters are Oil on canvas, 127 x 101.5 cm Private Collection invested with the aura of wealth and glamour, power and prestige, through the devices of grand design and pictorial invention. “Ask me to paint your gates, your fences, your barns, which I should gladly do, but not the human face”, Sargent told Lady Radnor came to an abrupt end when his celebrated portrait of Mme Gautreau in 1907.1 After twenty years of unparallelled success, he was giving (Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York) caused outrage at the up as a portraitist in order to concentrate on his mural projects Salon exhibition of 1884.
  • Philip De László in the Great War by Giles Macdonogh

    Philip De László in the Great War by Giles Macdonogh

    Philip de László in the Great War By Giles MacDonogh Hungarian-born Philip de László (1869-1937) was a truly international artist who travelled widely in Europe and America and painted many of those who were the major political players in the First World War. He moved from Vienna to London in 1907 with his wife Lucy, née Guinness, and family, and quickly established his reputation there, counting the royal family, aristocracy and members of government amongst his many patrons. This essay examines de László’s situation as a naturalised alien and an artist in the context of the spy furore in Britain during the First World War. Philip Alexius de László in his Vienna studio 1903 Self-portrait with his wife Lucy and their son Henry painted while under house arrest at Ladbroke Gardens Nursing Home 1918 I The Great War was not only the ‘first’ war designated as global, it was the first to have roused an ubiquitous spy fever which placed whole sections of immigrant communities under suspicion of working for the enemy.1 Britain was not unique. In Berlin, those opening days of August were marked by lawless demonstrations against foreigners: the British Embassy was attacked, diplomats were struck, British subjects were locked up in the fortress in Spandau and a great ‘spy excitement’ resulted in rumours about poisoning wells and lakes.2 Germany had a tenth the number of aliens as Britain where most Germans, Austrians, Hungarians and Turks were modest shopkeepers or tradesmen. The grandees attached to embassies left along with the more prominent Germans and Austrians, although many of those indicted for spying for the Axis Powers were Americans of German descent.

London – A groundbreaking exhibition celebrating the artistic career of Philip Alexius de László, the great painter of European Royalty and aristocracy, will take place at Christie’s from 6-22 January, 2004. The exhibition will comprise over 90 oil paintings, including portraits of many members of the British and European Royal families, politicians and other leading men and women of the day alongside sketches, artist’s materials, memorabilia and photographs. It is the first retrospective of de László to be staged since his death in 1937 and will also include examples of his work as a landscape artist. Sandra de Laszlo, one of the curators of the exhibition and author of the catalogue raisonné, said: “De László is now remembered chiefly as a society painter, especially of beautiful women. While this is certainly true, this does not do justice to the range of his talents.

    Performing Portraiture: Picturing the Upper-Class English Woman in an Age of Change, 1890–1914 by Susan Elizabeth Slattery A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of PhD Graduate Department of Art History University of Toronto ©Copyright by Susan Elizabeth Slattery 2019 Performing Portraiture: Picturing the Upper-Class English Woman in an Age of Change, 1890–1914 Susan Elizabeth Slattery Doctor of Philosophy Department of Art History University of Toronto 2019 Abstract This dissertation examines the use of portraiture by upper-class women of Britain in the period 1890—1914 as a means to redefine gender and class perception and to reposition aristocratic women as nostalgic emblems of a stable past and as symbols of a modern future. Through a range of portraiture practices, upper-class women promoted themselves as a new model for a continuing upper class that fulfilled a necessary social function in the altered circumstances of the new century. The period 1890—1914 was an era of change that challenged the existing social structure in Britain, destabilizing the hereditary entitlement of the ruling class and questioning the continuing role and relevance of the upper class. In the same period, changes in the technology of print and photography meant that, for the first time, there was the ability to disseminate portrait images through mass media on an economical basis, leading to a proliferation of illustrated journals and magazines. These circumstances provided an opportunity for upper-class women to reimagine the social and political potential of portraiture. ii My analysis examines different forms of media through intensive case studies arguing a progression from a traditional static image to a fluid interdisciplinary performative portraiture practice.

On view from July 18 through October 11, 2010, at The Museum of Modern Art, the exhibition examines paintings, sculptures, drawings, and prints made by the artist between his return to Paris from Morocco in 1913 to his departure for Nice in 1917. Over these five years, he developed his most demanding, experimental, and enigmatic works: paintings that are abstracted, often purged of descriptive detail, geometrically composed, and dominated by blacks and grays. Comprising nearly 110 of the artist’s works, Matisse: Radical Invention, 1913–1917 is the first exhibition devoted to this period, thoroughly exploring Matisse’s working processes and the revolutionary experimentation of what he called his “methods of modern construction.” Organized by The Museum of Modern Art and The Art Institute of Chicago, the exhibition is curated by John Elderfield, Chief Curator Emeritus of Painting and Sculpture at The Museum of Modern Art, and Stephanie D’Alessandro, Gary C.

    Friends of Art NEWSLETTER Winter 2010 Collectors Group Workshop Betsy Stirratt and Nan Brewer discuss issues in buying student and faculty artwork Approximately thirty people joined the conversation with SoFA Gallery director Betsy Stirratt and IU Art Museum curator Nan Brewer as they discussed many questions and issues surrounding the pur- chase of student and faculty artwork. The SoFA Gallery provided an appropriate background, hung with a semester-opening exhibit of MFA student work. Stirratt spoke of a generalized increase in interest and sale of student work from her gallery over the years. Although the SoFA Gallery does not have a long-term (or exclusive) relationship with its exhibitors and takes a smaller percentage of sales than a commercial gallery, 2009 was the best year ever for the gallery in terms of sales. This is an important part of their op- erating budget. Stirratt said that although the students produce work at a very difficult and demanding point in their careers, buyers may find it rewarding to cultivate a relationship, and students would almost certainly appreciate the interest of a studio visit. In the context of an upcoming Triennial Faculty group exhibit, Nan Brewer circulated a price list for faculty pieces, and discussed the relationship artists must maintain with their galleries, assisted by comments from Chicago gallery owner Thomas Robertello who was attending. Should a buyer haggle over prices? (Not at student shows, please.) What guides a buyer’s decisions? Will the student pieces ever be worth as much as later work? How does one track the progress of a stu- dent’s career? The audience brought up many important issues of relevance.
