The Kuczynskis were a German-Jewish family of active anti-fascists who worked assiduously to combat the rise of Nazism before and during the course of the Second World War. This book focuses on the family of Robert and his wife Berta - both born two decades before the end of the nineteenth century - and their six children, five of whom became communists and one who worked as a Soviet agent. The parents, and later their children, rejected and rebelled against their comfortable bourgeois heritage and devoted their lives to the overthrow of privilege and class society. They chose to do this in a Germany that was rapidly moving in the opposite direction. With the rise of German nationalism and then Hitler fascism, the family was confronted with stark choices and, as a result of making these choices, suffered persecution and exile. Revealing how these experiences shaped their outlook and perception of events, this book documents the story of the Kuczynskis for the first time in the English language and is a fascinating biographical portrait of a unique and radical family.

This study focuses on the rise and subsequent relative economic decline of Montreal, the short-run or first-round effects of a friendly breakup, and the longer-run or second-round effects of that event.

John Golding (1929-2012) was a British artist, scholar and curator.Perhaps best known for his seminal book, Cubism: A history and an Analysis 1907-1914 (1959) he actually considered himself primarily a painter and exhibited extensively both in the UK and internationally during a career that spanned almost six decades. In retrospect, his reputation as a notable art historian somewhat, arguably, overshadowed his own practice as an artist. So, this new monograph endeavours to reveal and celebrate the other side of his oeuvre.''Golding''s knowledge of Renaissance painting, especially the great Venetians [...] informed his own work as he moved out of figuration and into abstract canvases in which light was the subject. He painted vertical streaks of colour down his canvases like pleated light (as he put it) and occasionally on, say, a misty blue, he would scatter clusters of gold pigment to reflect the actual light. After the end of the 20th century, he started to structure his paintings so that they appeared to be based on photographs from thousands of feet above the Earth, with ''roads'' and ''bridges'' and ''canals''...'' - Michael McNay, 2012 (The Guardian)Golding''s work was additionally shown alongside Bridget Riley, John Hoyland, Frank Auerbach, Peter Blake and David Hockney in important group exhibitions in London such as, British Painting 74'' at Hayward Gallery and, British Painting 1952-77 at the Royal Academy of Arts.

Une analyse de l’influence de l’art antique dans le développement de l’art moderne européen, en particulier dans l’œuvre de De Chirico, Picabia, Léger et Picasso. Les différentes manières dont ces artistes de la modernité ont réinventé l’antiquité à leurs propres fins, surtout à l’époque du « retour à l’ordre », au lendemain de la Première Guerre mondiale. Cette étude met en lumière aussi en quoi ce phénomène s’inscrit dans le contexte de l’élargissement considérable de la connaissance de l’art antique entre les années 1870 et les années 1930, tournant qui voit la conception de l’Antiquité se détacher définitivement de l’idéalisme néo-classique issu des idées de Winckelmann. L’intérêt se porte alors autant sur les époques archaïques que sur les âges d’or de Périclès ou Auguste. Et c’est moins la statuaire classique que la stylisation sommaire des silhouettes sur les vases de céramiques qui retient Picasso. Autre évolution du regard porté sur l’Antiquité, ainsi que le rappellent une partie des essais : la relecture freudienne des mythes grecs et romains à partir du début du XXe siècle, où spécialistes et artistes surréalistes voient la manifestations des désirs et des peurs ancrées au plus profond de l’être humain.

Hypnotism has fascinated and inspired people since the mid-1800s, when entertainers and medical professionals enthusiastically took up this Far Eastern practice. This is the first popular, illustrated history of hypnosis. It tackles the (relatively) reputable aspects of the subject--brain imaging, clinical trials, and hypnotherapy--alongside the smoke and mirrors of stage hypnosis.The author has uncovered intriguing stories about the larger-than-life characters who inhabit the world of hypnosis. From Professors of Mesmerism to Princes of Necromancy, this book explores the different guises of hypnotism as portrayed by pseudo-scientists and showmen alike. It takes a very personal approach to the central questions posed by hypnosis: why do we want to give up our power? Why do we think someone else can change us, if we can''t change ourselves? Why do we want to alter our normal patterns of cognition? Why would anyone go on stage and do what a sweaty guy in a cheap suit tells them to do? An accredited hypnotherapist and performer himself, the author examines the connections between stage hypnosis and hypnotherapy or, in other words, the point at which showbiz meets self-help and sleight-of-hand meets scholarly research. The book is practical, informative, and entertaining, and fully illustrated with colorful source material from the archives of the British Library.
