Hatfield House Archives PAPERS OF Elizabeth, 5th Marchioness of Salisbury - file list *Please note that the numbering of these papers is not final* Ref: 5MCH The collection comprises 12 boxes. Boxes 1-8 contain letters in bundles and each bundle has been treated as a file. Except bundle 1 (where the letters were numbered by Betty), letters in Box 1 and Box 2 bundle 1 have been numbered consecutively according to their original bundle e.g. letters in bundle 2 are numbered 2/1 – 57. These bundles were also divided into packets so that they could be foldered.

Correspondents are listed once for each bundle containing their letter/letters.

Charles De Beistegui Autobiography and Patronage
Architects usually equate the name Charles de Beistegui with his penthouse, which for a short time only1 overlooked the Champs-Élysées and the rue Balzac in Paris. As he himself described it, the idea was an apartment in the moderne style that explicitly was not meant for permanent residence but would serve as a résidence d’un soir and décor de fête.2 So it therefore was not a machine à habiter that De Beistegui commissioned Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret to design and build between 1929 and 1931, but rather a machine à amuser, an unorthodox 16 stage set that he could decorate and manipulate as he liked. Landscape architects 17 will primarily associate his name with the follies in the park of the Château de Groussay, which De Beistegui had acquired in 1938 as the location for his new country residence. Since this early nineteenth-century château was not yet listed as a historical monument at the time, he could do what he pleased – with the help of Emilio Terry – when renovating and expanding the château, laying out the gardens and decorating the spaces according to his own wishes. Among interior decorators the very personal taste and idiosyncratic decorating style that De Beistegui developed over the years, a kind of excessive neoclassical eclecticism, was called le goût Beistegui, the De Beistegui taste, and was – and in some circles still is – considered the high style of interior decoration. Actually, Charles de Beistegui was always his own client, and as such, he Curzio Malaparte Curzio Malaparte (like his friend Emilio Terry) felt akin to the architectural amateurism of the rich ‘Ritratto di Pietro’/Casa come me ‘Ritratto di Pietro’/Casa come me eighteenth-century English gentlemen-architects. -

Copyright by Francisca Antonia Sofia Folch-Couyoumdjian 2014 The Dissertation Committee for Francisca Antonia Sofia Folch-Couyoumdjian Certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: The Marquis de Cuevas: Pushing the Boundaries of Self Committee: Elizabeth Richmond-Garza, Supervisor Héctor Domínguez-Ruvalcaba Tatiana Kuzmic Alexandra Wettlaufer Lynn Wilkinson The Marquis de Cuevas: Pushing the Boundaries of Self by Francisca Antonia Sofia Folch-Couyoumdjian, B.A.; M.A. Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin August 2014 The Marquis de Cuevas: Pushing the Boundaries of Self Francisca Antonia Sofia Folch-Couyoumdjian, Ph.D. The University of Texas at Austin, 2014 Supervisor: Elizabeth Richmond-Garza Abstract: Chilean dance impresario Marquis George de Cuevas was born Jorge Cuevas Bartholin (1885-1961) and is best remembered as a fashionable socialite of the 1940s and 50s who married heiress Margaret Rockefeller Strong and founded several ballet companies in Europe and America in the wake of the great Ballet Russes era. This dissertation examines how Cuevas cultivated his fictionalized public persona, an identity that is essentially queer on several levels. Cuevas participated, reflected and resisted the several labels that were imposed on him. As Spanish aristocrat, American citizen, international ballet patron, Parisian socialite, and heir to the Russian dance avant-gardes, Cuevas distanced himself from his Chilean origins. Proud of having achieved “real” success by triumphing abroad, however, Cuevas was always acutely aware of his shortcomings as a foreigner. -
A M D G Beaumont Union Review Winter 2015
A M D G BEAUMONT UNION REVIEW WINTER 2015 th In a Beaumont Review at the beginning of the 20 century a guest at a BU Dinner looking at the assembled company was to remark “I find it extraordinary that such a small school could produce so many men of influence in so many fields”. Well possibly that was the case, especially considering the strength of anti-Catholic sentiment that still existed at the time, and although some came from distinguished families, most had to get to the top of their professions through their own efforts. I cannot but help wonder what a guest would comment at our lunch today. Society has changed, there is no longer the religious factor but a privileged education even in the last fifty years is no longer the stepping stone to the top of one’s profession. Perhaps, we should be content if a guest thought the members of the BU remain a force for good regardless of the contribution. Whether it was over a century ago or the present day it is not influence or importance that matters but service to others. I also wonder what would be made of Charles de Beisteguie (08) who is featured in this REVIEW. Notices. The website manager is away for 6 months in New Zealand so apart from The Review and Obituaries I have kept updates to a minimum: no Vril this Winter.

Cronología De Dalí En Italia*
Cronología de Dalí en Italia* Gala empezaba a despertar mi interés en un viaje a Italia. La arquitectura del Renacimiento, Palladio y Bramante, me impresionaba cada vez más, como la asombrosa y perfecta realización del espíritu humano en el reino de la estética, y empezaba a sentir el deseo de ir a ver y tocar esos fenómenos únicos, esos productos de materializada inteligencia, que eran concretos, 1 mensurables y supremamente no necesarios. 1935 En el verano de 1935, el pintor Josep Maria Sert invita al poeta y coleccionista inglés Edward James a su casa de Palamós, un pueblo de la costa catalana cercano a la localidad de Cadaqués, donde vive Salvador Dalí. Durante su estancia, James conoce a Dalí y a su mujer, Gala, y entre ellos se crea una sintonía tan especial que ambos manifiestan la intención de escribirse y verse de nuevo muy pronto. Así, en el mes de septiembre, Edward James escribe a Dalí y Gala para invitarles a pasar algunos días con él en Italia, concretamente en Villa Cimbrone, la espléndida residencia de 2 Ravello, en la costa amalfitana, en la que el inglés solía pasar los veranos. En la segunda mitad de septiembre, Edward James se reúne con Dalí y Gala en Cataluña y juntos acuden a la representación teatral de Yerma en Tarragona. Allí, Dalí se reencuentra después de siete años con su gran amigo Federico García Lorca. Edward James queda tan fascinado con el poeta andaluz que le propone acompañarles a Italia, pero Lorca, tras un primer momento de duda, declina la invitación ya que su padre, que vive en Granada, no se encuentra muy bien de salud.
