"Hodgkin’s art can be seen as providing memorials for people, many of whom are friends, whose absence is countered by th e corresponding physical presence of particular paintings. Descriptive elements visible in his earlier portraits from the 1950s are subsumed within paintings that have, over the course of more than fifty years, become more psychologically charged, but no l ess connected with evoking specific individuals in particu ..."
"Twenty new paintings, made between 2008 and 2012, comprise this catalogue of an exhibition at Gagosian Gallery, Rome, in May 2013. Assertive compressed gestures, sweeping complex textures, a lush palette, and the dynamic interchange of light and dark are all traits of Howard Hodgkin’s distinctive signature. With their maximalist gestures and saturated colors, his more intimately scaled paintings appear jewellike, while larger works are ..."

But in fact they are attempts to recapture the sensation of specific moments from memory and transform them into pictures that get to the heart of being itself. This lavishly illustrated volume is the most thorough survey of Hodgkin’s career to date, giving new insights into t ..."

Major artists of the modern movement, among them Marc Chagall, Henri Matisse, and Pablo Picasso, turned to the "illumination" of poems, c ..."
"This is a sequel to Susan Sontag's book "Illness as Metaphor". She extends her original theories to argue that our metaphors for AIDS and its effects may be damaging: they suggest an apocalypse in personal and social terms that may be unhelpful for sufferers and inaccurate for society as a whole."
