In 1889, Paul Gauguin (1848–1903) organized the independent "L’Exposition de Peintures du Groupe Impressionniste et Synthésiste" at Café Volpini with his followers on the occasion of the Paris World’s Fair. The French artist presented an extraordinary portfolio of prints in this framework for the first time: the so-called "Suite Volpini", an ensemble of eleven lithographs printed on radiant yellow paper. The publication examines the year 1889 as a defining moment in Gauguin’s development in which his autonomous, revolutionary new painting style and the central motifs of his work were unmistakably formed. It reconstructs the Volpini exhibition in the process, demonstrating the radicality of the works produced by...

«Fils présumé de Pierre III et de Catherine la Grande, Paul Ier (1754-1801) éprouve durant son règne, bref et calamiteux, l’irrésistible besoin de déplaire, comme d’autres éprouvent le besoin de séduire. Appelé à diriger la Russie, il n’a que dédain pour les Russes, leur langue et leurs traditions, alors qu’il proclame à tous son admiration sans bornes pour les disciplines et les mœurs prussiennes. Soumis dès ses plus jeunes années à une mère dominatrice, il la prend en haine, à la fois pour son despotisme familial, pour sa vie dissolue et pour les soupçons qui pèsent sur elle depuis la mort étrange de son mari....

American artist Paul McCarthy creates sculptures figuring animal /vegetable/ human hybrids, Disney-esque installations and slapstick performances in a weird evocation of a national subconscious. The psycho-sexual desires and anxieties induced by the media and the built environment of contemporary America emerge in his collisions of plastic prosthetics and simulated bodily fluids. These have been variously deployed: through live actions, often documented on video, and more recently in outsized figures and artificial rural environments, combined in overtly sexual ways. McCarthy’s work echoes that of European artists such as Joseph Beuys or the Viennese Aktionistes, but gives ‘action art’ a post-modern twist. This is the first...

"Pauline was dressed in brown with a little white collar and a scrupulous equal folds very monastic. Her beautiful brown hair smoothed over her temples were carefully assigned, she was engaged in a classic, annoying, obnoxious to any organization thinking: it was very small even stitches with a needle imperceptible on a piece of cambric she had the wire to wire frame. The half life of the great women is consumed in France, in this solemn occupation.

"Vous vous reveillerez dans un caveau ou nul n`est des-cendu depuis vingt ans, et dans lequel, d`ici a vingt ans peut-etre, nul ne descendra encore. N`ayez done aucun espoir de secours, car il serait inutile. Vous trouverez du poison pres de cette lettre: tout ce que je puis faire pour vous est de vous offrir une mort prompte et douce au lieu d`une agonie lente et douloureuse. Dans Tun et l`autre cas, et quelque parti que vous preniez, a compter de cette heure, vous etes morte". Pauline (1838) est un des premiers romans de Dumas, ou Monte-Cristo se trouve en germe.

Les Pauvres Gens est le premier roman publie par Dosto`ievski, celui qui le rendit d`emblee celebre. Il a raconte comment l`idee lui en etait venue : en se pro-menant un soir d`hiver dans Petersbourg. Toute la ville lui apparut comme une reverie fantastique. "C`est alors que m`apparut une autre histoire, dans quelque coin sombre, un coeur de conseiller titulaire, honnete et pur, candide et devoue a ses chefs, et avec lui, une jeune fille, offensee et triste, et leur emouvante histoire me dechira le coeur". Toute la litterature du XX siecle est dans la derniere phrase : "Vous savez, je ne sais meme plus ce que j`ecris, je ne sais plus rien, je ne me relis meme pas, je ne me corrige pas. J`ecris seulement pour ecrire, pour m`entre-tenir...

Une vieille mendiante ou de brillants intellectuels, de petites gens ou des privilegies - Ludmila Oulitskaia nous brosse un tableau extraordinaire de la vie moscovite d`apres-guerre a travers neuf nouvelles d`une rare qualite litteraire. Heritiere de Tchekhov, elle peint des tableaux de famille, met en scene des personnages dont les enjeux, apparemment etrangers a nos preoccupations, nous touchent par une humanite quasiment palpable. Loin de la petite politique ou des beuveries d`arriere-cour, loin aussi des lancinantes reflexions philosophiques, ces textes lumineux, droles parfois, nous plongent dans des univers etonnants et nous donnent a voir une verite sur la societe russe comme peu d`auteurs contemporains ont su l`exprimer jusqu`a...
