Includes bibliographical references (pages 677-697) and index.This exhibition and its accompanying catalogue provide the visitor and reader with an exploration of the "tradition and transitions" of manners and themes that formed and shifted throughout the art of eighteenth-century France. Examples of works that reveal both the concurrent and successive styles of the long eighteenth-century of French draftsmanship from Charles de La Fosse and Jean-Baptiste Jouvenet at the end of the seventeenth century to the genesis of the Rococo (Claude Gillot, Jean-Antoine Watteau, François Le Moyne) and the Generation of 1700 (Edme Bouchardon, François Boucher, Michel-François Dandré-Bardon, Jacques Dumont, Charles-Joseph Natoire, Pierre-Hubert Subleyras, the Vanloos, which took the French School to its early maturity. Their students, particularly Jean-Honoré Fragonard and Hubert Robert, benefited from and greatly expanded upon this rich inheritance as some of their contemporaries (Charles-Nicolas Cochin le jeune, Joseph-Marie Vien, Jean-Baptiste Deshays, Gabriel-François Doyen) simultaneously searched for a new, less florid mode of expression that eventually led to the Neoclassicism of Jacques-Louis David and his generation in the closing decades of the century. Their students then explored stylistic and thematic variations of that manner into the next century. The wealth of this collection enables visitors to see a full array of the art made within these successive generations by well-known masters as well as by lesser-known artists who were often considered to be their equals in their own time. It also reveals the large variety of regional styles from artists working in important centers other than Paris."This catalogue accompanies the exhibition of The Horvitz Collection at the Petit Palais, Musée des Beaux-Arts de la Ville de Paris, 21 March-9 July 2017"--Title page verso.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 201-208).Preface and Acknowledgements / Alvin L. Clark, Jr. -- Question about the "Woman Question": Déjà-Vu All over Again? / Melissa Hyde -- Plates I -- Some Autobiographical Reflections on "Becoming a Woman" / Melissa Hyde -- Plates II -- Annotated Checklist of the Exhibition / Alvin L. Clark, Jr. & Francesco Buccella.Becoming a Woman in the Age of Enlightenment: French Art from the Horvitz Collection' is primarily an exhibition of drawings but will include pastels, paintings, and sculptures selected from one of the world's best private collections of French drawings. The exhibition will feature nearly 120 works by many of the most prominent artists of the eighteenth century, including Antoine Watteau, Nicolas Lancret, François Boucher, Jean-Honoré Fragonard, as well as lesser-known artists both male and female, such as Anne Vallayer-Coster, Gabrielle Capet, François-André Vincent, Philibert-Louis Debucourt. Ranging from spirited, improvisational sketches and figural studies, to highly finished drawings of exquisite beauty, the works included in the exhibition vary in terms of style, genre, and period. Becoming a Woman will be organized into thematic sections that address some of the most important and defining questions of women's lives in the eighteenth century. These include: how the stages of a woman's life were measured; what cultural attitudes and conditions in France shaped how women were defined; what significant relations women formed with men; what social and familial rituals gave order to their lives; what pleasures they pursued; and what work they accomplished. The aim is to bring new insights to the questions of what it meant to be a woman in this period, by offering the first exhibition to focus specifically on representations of women of a broad range of ages and conditions.

Collect call to my mother / by Horvitz, Lori,author.;
Follows Lori Horvitz' experiences as a queer Jewish New Yorker living in the South, looking for love in the internet age. When she teaches a class of queer college students who look to her as a role model, what they don't know is that she spent her twenties and thirties in the closet and leapt from one relationship disaster to the next. Each of her turbulent trysts helps unearth the roots of her poor judgment: a chaotic upbringing, compounded by her mother's emotional distance and early death. In these essays exploring themes of love, family, and grief, Horvitz gradually embraces who she is and finds a healthy, long-term relationship.

Eureka! : scientific breakthroughs that changed the world / by Horvitz, Leslie Alan.(CARDINAL)528446;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 231-235) and index.Introduction: A sudden flash of light -- A breath of immoral air: Joseph Priestley and the discovery of oxygen -- Epiphany at Clapham Road: Friedrich Kekule and the discovery of the structure of carbon compounds -- A visionary from Siberia: Dmitry Mendeleyev and the invention of the periodic table -- The birth of amazing discoveries: Isaac Newton and the theory of gravity -- The happiest thought: Albert Einstein and the theory of gravity -- The forgotten inventor: Philo Farnsworth and the development of television -- A faint shadow of its former self: Alexander Fleming and the discovery of penicillin -- A flash of light in Franklin Park: Charles Townes and the invention of the laser -- The pioneer of Pangaea: Alfred Wegener and the theory of continental drift -- Solving the mystery of mysteries: Charles Darwin and the origin of species -- Unraveling the secret of life: James Watson and Francis Crick and the discovery of the double helix -- Broken teacups and infinite coastlines: Benoit Mandelbrot and the invention of fractal geometry.Since the day Archimedes leapt from his bathtub and ran naked through the streets of ancient Syracuse shouting "Eureka!" the history of science has been punctuated by moments of true insight and discovery. Eureka!: Scientific Breakthroughs that Changed the World explores the events and thought processes that led twelve great minds to their "eureka moments." It also explains the profound impact of these discoveries on the way we live, think, and view the world around us. Most of the "instant" discoveries presented here were, in fact, the combined product of determined effort and exceptional feats of vision. You'll learn how, after years of highly focused study, Dmitri Mendeleyev had a vision of the structure of the periodic table form in his mind while playing a card game of his own devising. Alfred Wegener, on the other hand, amassed data from the varied fields of meteorology, seismology, paleontology, zoology, and geology to confirm his intuitive belief in his theory of continental drift-a theory that provoked a storm of outrage from geologists and was not proven until thirty years after his death. You'll also meet "lucky" scientists such as Joseph Priestley, who admitted that he did not know what he was doing when he stumbled upon the existence of oxygen, but realized immediately that he had made a stunningly important discovery. Likewise, Alexander Fleming, who discovered penicillin by recognizing the importance of a "failed" experiment and rescuing it from the trash bin in his lab. This fascinating and engaging collection of great moments in science is filled with clear explanations, vivid descriptions, and plenty of surprises. It is must reading for anyone interested in science, science history, and the implacable human urge to explore and understand the unknown.
