An Eye-Witness Account of the French Revolution by Helen Maria Williams

An Eye-Witness Account of the French Revolution by Helen Maria Williams

Helen Maria Williams

Peter Lang Publishing Inc
1997
sidottu
Helen Maria Williams (1761-1827), English poet, novelist, and chronicler of the French Revolution, here vividly recounts her experiences in France during the Terror. Arrested in the fall of 1793, Williams records with passion and sorrow the degeneration of the Revolution into chaos and murder. She sketches the colorful personalities of her friends and acquaintances (Madame Roland, Charlotte Corday, Georges-Jacques Danton) and enemies (Maximilien Robespierre, Louis-Antoine de St. Just, Jean Paul Marat), while all the time displaying her enduring optimism that Revolution would eventually succeed in liberty and justice for people everywhere.

Helen Clay Frick

Helen Clay Frick

Martha Frick Symington Sanger

University of Pittsburgh Press
2007
sidottu
In 1919, at the age of thirty-one, Helen Clay Frick inherited $38 million, becoming the richest single woman in America. These riches, however, came at a price. Helen's tumultuous early life was shaped by her father's infamy as a union strikebreaker and the ensuing attempt on his life, her mother's debilitating depression, and the death of her older sister and newborn brother about a year apart. Despite these events, Helen built a luminous legacy through her lifelong commitment to social welfare, the environment, and a supreme devotion to the visual arts. Helen's philanthropy touched the lives of thousands. Her contributions included a vacation home for young female textile workers, two wildlife preserves, one a public wilderness park, a Victorian-era house museum, a pre-Civil War historic Mennonite village, a university fine arts department, two art history libraries, and the purchase of many significant works of art for her private collection, the Frick Collection in New York, the University of Pittsburgh teaching collection, and the Frick Art Museum. Through extensive period research and singular access to Frick family archives and Helen Clay Frick's personal writings, Martha Frick Symington Sanger fashions a multifaceted portrait of a complex, often misunderstood, yet indomitable humanitarian, philanthropist, and cultural force in twentieth-century America.

Helen Frankenthaler

Helen Frankenthaler

Thomas E. Crow

RIZZOLI INTERNATIONAL PUBLICATIONS
2023
sidottu
Helen Frankenthaler: Drawing within Nature documents an exhibition of Frankenthaler s sumptuous paintings from the early to mid-1990s, many shown in New York for the first time. This catalog documents an exhibition that focuses on Helen Frankenthaler s paintings on canvas of the early 1990s, along with three large-scale paintings on paper from 1995. In this period, Frankenthaler experimented with new mediums and techniques, resulting in thickly impastoed surfaces that recalibrate our understanding of her practice. A new essay by Thomas Crow examines these paintings in the context of the varied environments in which Frankenthaler lived and worked, from the warm-toned terrain of Santa Fe, New Mexico, to her seaside home and studio in Stamford, Connecticut. Helen Frankenthaler (1928 2011) has long been recognized as one of the great American artists of the twentieth century. A member of the second generation of postwar American abstract painters, she is widely credited with expanding the possibilities of abstraction through her invention of the soak-stain technique, while at times referencing figuration and landscape in highly personal ways.

Helen Foster Snow: An American Woman in Revolutionary China tells the story of a remarkable woman born in rural Utah in 1907, who lived in China during the 1930s and became an important author, a lifelong humanitarian, and a bridge-builder between the United States and China. As Kelly Ann Long recounts in this engaging biography, Helen Foster Snow immersed herself in the social and political currents of a nation in turmoil. After marrying renowned journalist Edgar Snow, she developed her own writing talents and offered an important perspective on emerging events in China as that nation was wracked by Japanese invasion, the outbreak of World War II, and a continuing civil war. She supported the December Ninth Movement of 1935, broke boundaries to enter communist Yenan in 1937, and helped initiate the "gung ho" Chinese Industrial Co-operative movement. Helen Foster Snow wrote about the people and events in Chinas remote communist territories during an important era. She relayed detailed portraits of female communist leaders and famous figures such as Mao Zedong and Zhu De, as well as common people struggling to survive in a period of increasing turmoil.Her informed, compassionate depictions built a bridge linking American interest to the welfare of the Chinese. Longs account recovers the story of a controversial and important commentator on a critical period in U.S.-China relations and in Chinese history.

The two bodies clasped each other tightly and tongued each other and Helen's body shook regularly with tiny orgasms that it was prone to do when excitement overwhelmed her, and which she hadn't experienced for a very long time.- from Mount ErosThe EROS CRESCENT novels take you on a journey like no other - to places you couldn't imagine - a female friendly sex club or a privately owned members-only dogging venue; the toy-boy life of a writer working on the Amalfi coast and much much more. HELEN and the other novellas - JESSICA, MARIA, JANICE, MARY and THE CLUB - are extracts taken from The Fifi Code, Eros Crescent and Mount Eros.Excerpt: When Alice had left Freya and Helen alone, it didn't take the two of them long to find each other. Helen asked Freya if she would like to see the fish pond with its newly installed lighting. "It is quite beautiful in the dark.""Love to Helen. Show me the way."Almost before the two even reached the pond they began touching each other, tentatively putting their hands around each other's waists and rubbing their fingertips innocently on each other's backsides. Moments later, Helen backed Freya against the door of her painting studio and kissed her passionately. Freya hung back a tiny bit, anticipating and looking forward to the onslaught of Helen's obviously strong desire for her. But she wasn't expecting Helen's next move. Helen pulled her forward and swung her round to face the door. Then the seducer pulled up Freya's skirt. Helen had wanted to see and touch Freya's extraordinary long thin legs and tiny buttocks from the first moment she had met her. Now there was nothing to stop her Helen moaned with pleasure as she discovered the gentle Freya's delightful big silk knickerbockers, her latest fashion statement. Helen slipped her hand first up one leg and dragged the knicker leg up to expose the full length of Freya's beautiful leg, then she pulled down the waist to find the tiny bottom, and put her hand on it. She shivered and felt wet between her legs. Helen's lust was potent. She was wildly excited and Freya appreciated it, joyfully sharing in the lustful anticipation. Freya found the door handle and turned it, and went into the studio. Helen followed and guided her towards a sofa bed, just made visible by the lights of the fish pond shining through the window.Freya turned to face Helen. "I want you to make love to me, Helen and I desperately want you to take you clothes off and for me to lie on your naked body and shag you. I will undress you while you do what you want to do. I want you to touch me everywhere, Helen."Helen sighed and began to undress Freya. It didn't take long. A skirt and a blouse, a tiny bra and her bloomers all came off, leaving her in her socks and her little white sandals.And while Freya slipped Helen's dress over her head, then stopped to stare at her beautiful breasts, Helen vented her lust on Freya's tiny breasts and nipples. And when Helen paused for breath, Freya pushed Helen down on the bed and spread herself on top of her and with their mouths joined, she shagged her seducer to their first orgasms together. "Oh my God, Freya, you are such a beautiful woman. I will want to make love to you again and again.""Please let's do that Helen. I will want much more of you, too."

Helen Mirra – Sky–wreck

Helen Mirra – Sky–wreck

Renaissance Society at the University of Chicago
2002
nidottu
"Is a non-remote horizon always a concealment? If a portion of sky has been carved and set loose to rest upon land, is it the result of an illegal language spoken in the town?" Ben Marcus, from A Horizon Grammar A hybrid of artist's book and catalog, this unique publication, designed in collaboration with the artist, is divided into three separate books. One features photographs of Sky-wreck, Mirra's conceptually multi-layered, 2001 installation at the Renaissance Society, accompanied by an essay from Hamza Walker which explicates Sky-wreck'stangled mathematical, visual and poetic aspects, and how these interwoven forms of signification within the piece ultimately "question the ability for that which is unfathomable to assume representation." Another section contains reproductions of Mirra's earlier work, meditated on from a more personal standpoint by poet and friend of Mirra, Jen Bervin, with footnotes from Mirra herself. The third section is an intensely beautiful collaboration between Mirra and experimental fiction writer Ben Marcus, juxtaposing Mirra's exquisite working drawings for Sky-wreck with Marcus's surreal poetic response to them entitled A Horizon Grammar.

Spawn of Dyscrasia is] a gorgeous, textured, intricately layered story." - Reviewer Bob Milne

A Los Angeles Times Bestseller A witty, timely and richly entertaining tale of a modern mother in transition, from the author of The Sweeney SistersHelen Fairchild is leading a privileged Pasadena existence: married to a pillar of the community; raising a water polo-playing son destined for the most select high school; volunteering her time on the most fashionable committees. It only bothers Helen a tiny bit that she has never quite fit in with the proper Pasadena crowd, never finished that graduate degree in Classics, and never had that second baby. But the rigid rules of society in Pasadena appeal to Helen, the daughter of Oregon fiber artists, even if she'll never be on the inside. And then along comes a Rose Parade float, killing her philandering husband and leaving Helen broke, out of her "forever" house, and scrambling to salvage her once-rarefied existence. Enter Patrick O'Neill, excavator of Troy and wearer of nubby sweaters. A job as Dr. O'Neill's research assistant is the lifeline Helen needs to reinvent herself.
