Which cultural values, beliefs, and attitudes best promote democracy, social justice, and prosperity? How can we use the forces that shape cultural change, such as religion, education, and political leadership, to promote these values in the Third World--and for underachieving minorities in the First World? In this book, Lawrence E. Harrison offers intriguing answers to these questions, in a valuable follow-up to his acclaimed Culture Matters.Drawing on a three-year research project that explored the cultural values of dozens of nations--from Botswana, Sweden, and India to China, Egypt, and Chile--Harrison offers a provocative look at values around the globe, revealing how each nation's culture has propelled or retarded their political and economic progress. The book presents 25 factors that operate very differently in cultures prone to progress and those that resist it, including one's influence over destiny, the importance attached to education, the extent to which people identify with and trust others, and the role of women in society. Harrison pulls no punches, and many of his findings are controversial.Contradicting the arguments of multiculturalists, this book contends that when it comes to promoting human progress, some cultures are clearly more effective than others. It convincingly shows which values, beliefs, and attitudes work and how we can foster them."Harrison takes up the question that is at the center of politics today: Can we self-consciously change cultures so they encourage development and modernization?"--David Brooks, New York Times"I can think of no better entrance to the topic, both for what it teaches and the way it invites and prepares the reader to continue. A gateway study."--David S. Landes, author of The Wealth and Poverty of Nations

The late Albert Elsen was the first American scholar to study seriously the work of the French sculptor Auguste Rodin, and the person most responsible for a revival of interest in the artist as a modern innovator--after years during which the sculpture had been dismissed as so much Victorian bathos. After a fortuitous meeting with the financier, philanthropist, and art collector B. Gerald Cantor, Elsen helped Cantor to build up a major collection of Rodin's work. A large part of this collection, consisting of more than 200 pieces, was donated to the Stanford Museum by Mr. Cantor, who died recently. In size it is surpassed only the by the Mus?e Rodin in Paris and rivaled only by the collection in Philadelphia. In scope the collection is unique in having been carefully selected to present a balanced view of Rodin's work throughout his life. Rodin's Art encompasses a lifetime's thoughts on Rodin's career, surveying the artist's accomplishments through the detailed discussion of each object in the collection. It will begin with essays on the formation of the collection, the reception of Rodin's work, and his casting techniques. The entries that follow are arranged topically and include extensive discussions of Rodin's major projects.

Claude Monet's water lily paintings are among the most iconic and beloved works of art of the past century. Yet these entrancing images were created at a time of terrible private turmoil and sadness for the artist. The dramatic history behind these paintings is little known; Ross King's Mad Enchantment tells the full story for the first time and, in the process, presents a compelling and original portrait of one of our most popular and cherished artists. By the outbreak of war in 1914, Monet, then in his mid-seventies, was one of the world's most famous and successful painters, with a large house in the country, a fleet of automobiles and a colossal reputation. However, he had virtually given up painting following the death of his wife Alice in 1911 and the onset of blindness a year later. Nonetheless, it was during this period of sorrow, ill health and creative uncertainty that – as the guns roared on the Western Front – he began the most demanding and innovative paintings he had ever attempted. Encouraged by close friends such as Georges Clemenceau, France's dauntless prime minister, Monet would work on these magnificent paintings throughout the war years and then for the rest of his life. So obsessed with his monumental task that the village barber was summoned to clip his hair as he worked beside his pond, he covered hundreds of yards of canvas with shimmering layers of pigment. As his ambitions expanded with his paintings, he began planning what he intended to be his legacy to the world: the 'Musée Claude Monet' in the Orangerie in Paris. Drawing on letters and memoirs and focusing on this remarkable period in the artist's life, Mad Enchantment gives an intimate portrayal of Claude Monet in all his tumultuous complexity, and firmly places his water lily paintings among the greatest achievements in the history of art.

This is the first comprehensive scholarly bibliography/research guide/sourcebook on the major French Fauve painters (Henri Matisse and Georges Braque are treated in separate Greenwood bio-bibliographies). It includes information on 3,120 books and articles as well as chronologies, biographical sketches, and exhibition lists. Each artist receives a primary and secondary bibliography with many annotated entries. Secondary bibliographies include details about each artists' life and career, relationships with other artists, work in various media, iconography, and more. Designed for art historians, art students, museum and gallery curators, and art lovers alike, this volume organizes the vast literature surrounding this fascinating, revolutionary, 20th-century art group. Genuinely new art is always challenging, sometimes even shocking to those unprepared for it. In 1905, the paintings of Matisse, Derain, Vlaminck and their friends shocked conservative museum-goers; hence, the eventual popularity of art critic Louis Vauxcelles's tag les fauves, or wild beasts by which these artists became known. Although it lasted only three or four years, Fauvism is recognized as the first artistic revolution of international consequence in the 20th century. It was based on the glorification of pure saturated colors and the free expression of primitivism. It was a dynamic sensualism; an equilibrium of passion and order, fire and austerity that could not last. By the end of 1908, Fauvism collapsed in the face of Cubism, which, moreover, several Fauve artists helped to form.

Eva Gouel a été la deuxième compagne de Picasso. Ils vécurent ensemble pendant quatre années, de 1912 à fin 1915, lorsqu’elle mourut d’un cancer. Peu de choses étaient connues d’elle. Durant quatre années, une recherche minutieuse et passionnée, a permis de retrouver beaucoup d’informations, très souvent inédites, sur sa vie avant Picasso, et sur sa vie avec Picasso. Les drames qu’elle a vécus. Les rencontres qu’ils ont faites et ce qui en est dit d’elle. Eva est atypique parmi les compagnes du peintre car, de son aveu même, il n’en a jamais fait le portrait. Pourquoi, alors qu’il a toujours fait de nombreux portraits de ses rencontres amoureuses, y compris lorsque celles-ci étaient éphémères ? Beaucoup de traces de la vie d’Eva, jusqu’à sa tombe, ont été effacées, par le destin, par négligence, par indifférence, ou intentionnellement. Cela a été l’ambition de l’auteur de les retrouver, pour comprendre, et redonner à Eva la place qu’elle mérite. D’autant que la période où ils furent ensemble est une période clé dans l’histoire foisonnante et mouvante du début du vingtième siècle, dans l’histoire de l’art où Picasso a eu une place prépondérante, et dans l’histoire de la France embarquée dans une guerre qui fit tant de blessés et de morts. Parler aussi de Fernande, qui précéda Eva, et des quatre femmes qui lui succédèrent, avant de rencontrer Olga, à Rome, qui deviendra sa première épouse.

Tout fragment d’oeuvre est émouvant en lui-même en ce qu’il témoigne d’une unité disparue, à laquelle il permet de rêver, tout en invitant à méditer sur le passage du temps. Un torse, une main, un pied, prennent ainsi, séparés, un sens qu’ils n’avaient sans doute pas quand ils n’étaient qu’une partie d’une oeuvre complète. Aussi bien un fragment n’est-il pas seulement le résultat d’une destruction ou d’une mutilation : comme l’observe ici Pierre Pachet dans Du bon usage des fragments grecs, il pose la question de la survivance et de l’interprétation des oeuvres d’art à travers le temps. De cette question, Auguste Rodin s’est sans doute avisé en découvrant les ressources expressives du fragment. Dans « Étreindre sans bras et tenir sans mains » Rodin et la figure partielle, Antoinette Le Normand-Romain cherche à comprendre la volonté du sculpteur de laisser inachevées certaines de ses oeuvres, conçues dès lors comme des fragments. En quoi celles-ci peuventelles cependant être perçues comme des oeuvres à part entière ? Rilke avait noté à leur propos : « Il ne leur manque rien de nécessaire. On est devant elles comme devant un tout achevé et qui n’admet aucun complément ».
