Daughters / by Capes, Kirsty,author.;
"When Maddie and Nora's mother, the brilliant, troubled and world-renowned Norwegian painter Ingrid Olssen, was on her deathbed, there was one promise she asked her daughters to make: Burn it all. Throw it all away. Ingrid didn't want any of her art sold, didn't want it celebrated. Two years later, Mattie hasn't done anything except for lock the pieces in a storage unit. She's barely seen Nora since Nora skipped their mother's funeral. Besides, she has her hands full raising the bold, creative teenage daughter she had when she was only a teenager herself. It was giving birth to Beanie that let her escape her mother's house--that and the support of Beanie's father, Gus. But when Nora, an artist herself, falls deep into a mental health crisis of her own, she comes to live with Mattie and Beanie. And when their aunt Karo sets up the very last thing their mother ever would have wanted--an enormous retrospective of her work--the two of them somehow find themselves on the road trip of their lives: up the West Coast of the United States, with Beanie and their mother's ashes in tow." -page [4] of cover

Grand avenues : the story of the French visionary who designed Washington, D.C. / by Berg, Scott W.(CARDINAL)480775;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 303-311) and index.A note on L'Enfant's English -- A pedestal waiting for a superstructure -- An infinity of small moments -- A powerful friend among the princes of the earth -- The remembrance of my former services -- In every respect advantageously situated -- A plan wholly new -- The wheel to give motion to the machine -- The whole leveled and thrown to the ground -- Measures of the most immediate moment -- An implicit conformity to his will -- The disappointment of absolute dues -- Getting the go by -- A share in the undertaking -- The assurance of things hoped for.The story of Pierre Charles L'Enfant and the creation of Washington D.C.--from the seeds of his inspiration to the fulfillment of his extraordinary vision. L'Enfant's story is one of consuming passion, high emotion, artistic genius, and human frailty. As a young man he left his home in Paris to volunteer in the army of the American colonies, where he served under George Washington. It was Washington himself who, in 1791, entrusted L'Enfant with the planning of the nation's capital--and reluctantly allowed him to be dismissed from the project eleven months later. The plan was published under another name, and for the remainder of his life L'Enfant fought for recognition. But he would not live to see that day, and a century would pass before L'Enfant would be given credit for his brilliant design. Berg recounts his evocative tale with the narrative verve of a novel.--From publisher description.

Washington : a history of our national city / by Lewis, Tom,1942-author.(CARDINAL)204213;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 437-493) and index.Introduction: The Concerns of the Nation -- Prologue: The "Mutinous Insult" -- The General's River and the Federal City -- Planners, Speculators, and Slaves -- "The Most Agreeable Town" -- Rebuilding and Growing -- The Bifurcated Southern National City -- Union National City -- The Making of an Undemocratic City -- Gilded Neighbors, Progressive City -- L'Enfant Redivivus -- Washington Apartheid and the End of Innocence -- Normalcy and Neglect -- New Deal City -- War City -- World Capital, Congressional Town -- Free Fall and After."On January 24, 1791, President George Washington chose the site for the young nation's capital: ten miles square, it stretched from the highest point of navigation on the Potomac River, and encompassed the ports of Georgetown and Alexandria. From the moment the federal government moved to the District of Columbia in December 1800, Washington has been central to American identity and life. Shaped by politics and intrigue, poverty and largess, contradictions and compromises, Washington has been, from its beginnings, the stage on which our national dramas have played out. In Washington, the historian Tom Lewis paints a sweeping portrait of the capital city whose internal conflicts and promise have mirrored those of America writ large. Breathing life into the men and women who struggled to help the city realize its full potential, he introduces us to the mercurial French artist who created an ornate plan for the city 'en grande'; members of the nearly forgotten anti-Catholic political party who halted construction of the Washington monument for a quarter century; and the cadre of congressmen who maintained segregation and blocked the city's progress for decades. In the twentieth century Washington's Mall and streets would witness a Ku Klux Klan march, the violent end to the encampment of World War I 'Bonus Army' veterans, the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, and the painful rebuilding of the city in the wake of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s assassination. 'It is our national center,' Frederick Douglass once said of Washington, DC; 'It belongs to us, and whether it is mean or majestic, whether arrayed in glory or covered in shame, we cannot but share its character and its destiny.' Interweaving the story of the city's physical transformation with a nuanced account of its political, economic, and social evolution, Lewis tells the powerful history of Washington, DC--the site of our nation's highest ideals and some of our deepest failures"--

L'enfant dans la peinture / by Allard, Sébastien,author.(CARDINAL)782656; Laneyrie-Dagen, Nadeije,author.(CARDINAL)683206; Pernoud, Emmanuel,author.(CARDINAL)784492;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 421-423) and index."La représentation de l'enfance accompagne l'histoire de la peinture depuis le Moyen Âge. Des tableaux d'église aux tableaux de Salon, les artistes ont brossé tous les visages de l'enfance : enfants divins de la peinture religieuse ou mythologique, petits princes de l'art de cour, anges du foyer de la peinture de genre, enfant modèle du portrait de famille, sans compter tous les irréguliers de l'enfance qui n'ont pas moins intéressé les artistes, petits gueux et petits bâtards, enfants surnaturels ou démoniaques, cancres et révoltés. Cette place dévolue à l'enfance conduit à s'interroger sur les fonctions mêmes de la peinture, sur son évolution du sacré au profane et du profane à l'intime, sur son implication dans la formation des identités sexuelles et dans les pratiques éducatives, sur sa quête de naïveté primitive. Figure incontournable de la peinture, l'enfant est une grande question pour l'histoire de l'art. Au travers plus de deux cent trente artistes, du XIVe siècle à nos jours, ce livre propose une étude sans précédent sur le sujet."--Page 4 of cover.
