Black Sun : the brief transit and violent eclipse of Harry Crosby / by Wolff, Geoffrey,1937-(CARDINAL)141921;
Bibliography: pages 351-359.Harry Crosby was the godson of J.P. Morgan, a friend of Ernest Hemingway, and member of the Lost Generation. Living in Paris in the twenties and directing the Black Sun Press, which published James Joyce among others, Crosby was at the center of the wild life, single-minded in his devotion to the creation and destruction inherent in art. Drugs, drink, sex, gambling, the deliberate derangement of the senses in the pursuit of transcendent revelation: these were Crosby's pastimes until 1929, when he shot his girlfriend, the recent bride of another man, and then himself.

The transformation of Athens : painted pottery and the creation of classical Greece / by Osborne, Robin,1957-author.(CARDINAL)177422;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 259-275) and index.The art of transformation -- Athenian pottery and Athenian culture -- Changing in the gymnasium -- Changing the guard -- Courting change -- Sacrificing change -- Drinking to and reveling in change -- The changing city of Satyrs -- Morality, politics, and aesthetics -- The road not taken -- The transformation of art."Why did soldiers stop fighting, athletes stop competing, and lovers stop having graphic sex in classical Greek art? The scenes depicted on Athenian pottery of the mid-fifth century BC are very different from those of the late sixth century. Did Greek potters have a different world to see - or did they come to see the world differently? In this lavishly illustrated and engagingly written book, Robin Osborne argues that these remarkable changes are the best evidence for the shifting nature of classical Greek culture. Osborne examines the thousands of surviving Athenian red-figure pots painted between 520 and 440 BC and describes the changing depictions of soldiers and athletes, drinking parties and religious occasions, sexual relations, and scenes of daily life. He shows that it was not changes in each activity that determined how the world was shown, but changes in values and aesthetics. By demonstrating that changes in artistic style involve choices about what aspects of the world we decide to represent as well as how to represent them, this book rewrites the history of Greek art. By showing that Greeks came to see the world differently over the span of less than a century, it reassesses the history of classical Greece and of Athenian democracy. And by questioning whether art reflects or produces social and political change, it provokes a fresh examination of the role of images in an ever-evolving world."--Jacket flaps.
