The Life & Letters of Gavin Hamilton (1723-1798)

The Life & Letters of Gavin Hamilton (1723-1798)

Gavin Hamilton (1723 - 1798), the Scottish-born painter who spent most of his life in Italy, was one of the most prominent figures among the artists and collectors of 18th-century Europe. Although he first went to Rome to further his career as a painter and pursue his interests in the Antique, he soon found himself in the circle of distinguished artists, critics and antiquarians, many of whom were British visitors to Italy on the Grand Tour seeking to build or augment their collections of paintings and ancient culture. It was thus an easy move for Hamilton to begin dealing in Old Master paintings and antiquities, and his activities as a dealer almost overshadowed his reputation as an innovative painter of classical themes. The present publication, with its introductory essay on Hamilton's life and career, and the corpus of more than 300 edited and annotated letters, provides a significant contribution to the literature on the history of collecting. It brings evidence of Hamilton's wide-ranging personal contacts with the most eminent collectors of the time and of the many great works of art that passed through his hands, among them Leonardo's Madonna of the Rocks (now in London, National Gallery), Tintoretto's large Adoration of the Shepherds (Cambridge, Fitzwilliam Museum), Salvator Rosa's Pythagoras (Fort Worth, Kimbell Museum). The correspondence documents Hamilton's dealings with agents and purchasers and provides new source material on the dispersal of Italian art collections, on the fate of individual pictures and more generally on British artistic taste in the second half of the eighteenth century. There is also a body of illustrations that includes both Hamilton's own works - history paintings and portraits - as well reproductions of some of the works mentioned in the letters.

California’s Recall Election of Gavin Newsom

California’s Recall Election of Gavin Newsom

Larry N. Gerston; Mary Currin-Percival; Garrick L. Percival

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD

California went through a political earthquake of sorts when the state recalled Governor Gray Davis in 2003. In 2021, the state faced another political turning point with the threatened recall of Governor Gavin Newsom. Less than two years after Newsom’s overwhelming election victory, more than two million Californians signed on to the recall effort, hoping to expel him from office in a special election. How could such a monumental turnabout be possible? Normally, the political headwinds would be much too strong for a movement to oust a governor who had decisively vanquished his opponent. But--with the COVID-19 pandemic dominating every aspect of society, including politics--these weren’t normal times. Organizing a recall election is a demanding enterprise: it takes abundant political energy, tremendous amounts of anger with the status quo, and mounds of money. Yet, for the second time in less than two decades, such wheels were set in motion. What is it that makes California so dynamic yet so fragile? This book explains that paradox and, in the process, enlightens readers about the recall process, the challenges of federalism, and the pitfalls of direct democracy. It examines the underlying conditions that expose a state with poorly linked institutions, a bitterly divided society, and a governor who had to act under nearly impossible conditions, demonstrating his strengths and vulnerabilities along the way. It’s a story that could happen only in California, a state with a history of "only" stories.Designed to be useful in a variety of college courses, this book is the first to unveil the Newsom backstory and will appeal to pundits and politicos as well as interested general readers.

He stood triumphant. For twelve rounds the challenger had out boxed and outclassed the undefeated world champion. All that remained were the judges' anticlimactic decisions and the official coronation. Five years later he lies on a New York City street, begging for money and food. A tough, soft-souled cop reaches out to him, unaware the disheveled man he is helping was once boxing's golden boy. While the boxer battles the demons that drove his wife away and left his world in shambles, the cop wages a quiet war with his own personal loss. Together, the two men form a bond that will lead them up against insurmountable odds as they battle the past, their mortality and the greatest champion of their time. *-Cover photo by Evgenii Matrosov/Shutterstock 2017

William Faulkner, Gavin Stevens, and the Cavalier Tradition

William Faulkner, Gavin Stevens, and the Cavalier Tradition

Lorie Watkins Fulton

Peter Lang Publishing Inc
2011
sidottu
Many readers imagine Gavin Stevens as the character most similar to William Faulkner in all of his apocryphal Yoknapatawpha, and while Stevens was once considered the most reliable Faulknerian spokesperson, ample scholarship has demonstrated that he functions as far more than merely the author’s mouthpiece. In William Faulkner, Gavin Stevens, and the Cavalier Tradition, Lorie Watkins Fulton defines Stevens’s role and examines the scope of his influence. Fulton proposes that Faulkner uses similarities between himself and Stevens to voice, at a fictional remove, concerns about people of his own class and even of his own ancestry. Ultimately, she suggests that Stevens’s manipulations of the law, his misunderstanding of human beings, and his rhetorically high-minded pursuit of «not so much truth as of justice, or of justice as he sees it» remove him ideologically only a degree or two away from the most terrifying dictators of the twentieth century.

Antigos fantasmas permaneciam encastelados em Bras lia. Em meados dos anos 1980, viv amos sob a amea a de uma distopia que se eguia com autoridade... Naquele ambiente, poucas bandas do BRock tiveram uma vis o t o l cida quanto a Legi o Urbana. Corajosa, po tica e visceral, sua m sica capturou com precis o os anseios e contradi es daquela gera o - e das que viriam depois. Lan ado em julho de 1986, o segundo LP, intitulado simplesmente Dois, invadiu as r dios do pa s e foi totalmente abra ado pelo p blico. Era, por m, um sucesso diferente, onde can es ntimas se revezavam com a verbe politizada da Legi o. Dois tornaria-se um dos discos mais relevantes da hist ria do rock brasileiro.Charles Gavin
