The Blaue Reiter ("Blue Rider") group of artists was formed in Munich in 1911 on the initiative of two outstanding artists: Wassily Kandinsky, the fundamental pioneer of purely abstract painting, and Franz Marc, the creator of mysterious, abstract animal pictures. Together, the Russian, the German and many others in their circle strove towards an apotheosis of the spiritual in art. The outbreak of the First World War appeared to put a brutal end to what was at the time the most importantavant-garde movement in Germany, but its influence continued unabated and inspired whole generations of international artists to create similar utopias.

`A novel that is both slight and profound, a distilled meditation on perception and loss, and a poised, individual ghost story for the twenty-first century` Observer The Body Artist begins with normality: breakfast between a married couple, Lauren and Rey, in their ramshackle rented house on the New England coast. Recording their delicate, intimate, half-complete thoughts and words, DeLillo proves himself a stunningly unsentimental observer of our idiosyncratic relationships. But after breakfast, Rey makes a decision that leaves Lauren utterly alone, or seems to. As Lauren, the body artist of the title, becomes strangely detached from herself and the temporal world, the novel becomes an exploration of a highly abnormal grieving process;...

"The Beautiful and Damned", F. Scott Fitzgerald`s second novel, tells the story of Anthony Patch, a 1920s socialite and presumptive heir to a tycoon`s fortune, the relationship with his wife Gloria, his service in the army, and alcoholism. The novel provides an excellent portrait of the Eastern elite as the Jazz Age begins its ascent, engulfing all classes into what will soon be known as Cafe Society. As with all of his other novels, it is a brilliant character study and is also an early account of the complexities of marriage and intimacy, largely based on Fitzgerald`s relationship and marriage with Zelda Fitzgerald.

The female leg is an erotic oddity: non-genital, and nearly identical in structure to the male limb, there is no obvious reason why it should be eroticized. Yet through much of history, across many cultures, the female leg was kept covered and treated as taboo, until it became an object of sexual obsession. In Victorian times, the word `leg` was forbidden in polite society, lest gentlemen be driven wild with lust. Even now, 80 years after women`s legs finally came out of hiding, their allure remains mysterious and powerful. The third in Dian Hanson`s wildly successful series on erotic body parts explores how the female leg became central to women`s emacipation, from the French Revolution to the sexual revolution. Over 400 photos...
