She finds love with a German farmer who dies defending her but leaves her his prosperous farm. This, not surprisingly, gets her kicked out of the convent. The epic tale of Agnes’s early life requires a total suspension of disbelief as she faces one passion after another, often losing herself in Chopin to such a degree that she ends up ecstatic and naked on the piano bench. Behind his priestly garb he’s actually Agnes, who transformed herself into a Catholic priest after living a full life as a Catholic nun, farm wife, and general adventurer, with random interactions with outlaws, floods, dead cows, and Chopin. Father Damien Modeste has lovingly served the Ojibwe settlement of Little No Horse for eight decades, forming his life around their needs. Biblical in nature and scope, The Last Report is replete with floods, snakes, sin, and forgiveness.

"item_description" : "LIMITED PRINT RUN: EXCLUSIVE FIRST EDITION. The novel evokes the horror and sorrow of the Holocaust in just their tedious administrative tasks of retracing steps, of sifting through wreckage. Shapiro makes the radical, varied, and sometimes enigmatic world of abstract expressionism altogether human and accessible in her smart new historical thriller.It has more emotional ballast and is more skillfully written than what one customarily finds. Do they hold answers to the questions surrounding her missing aunt? And, some seventy years later, not her great-niece, Danielle Abrams, who while working at Christie's auction house uncovers enigmatic paintings hidden behind works by those now-famous Abstract Expressionist artists. Not her close-knit group of friends, including Mark Rothko, Jackson Pollock, and Lee Krasner. Not her artistic patron and political compatriot, Eleanor Roosevelt. Not her Jewish family living in German-occupied France.

The new catalogue raisonné offers a detailed overview of the artist’s entire oeuvre based on the latest research. Our understanding of Caravaggio’s work has been substantially broadened in recent decades by major exhibitions, restoration campaigns, new attributions and archival discoveries. The spotlight thereby falls upon the radical nature and innovative force of Caravaggio’s art and its influence in all of Europe. Five introductory chapters analyze his artistic career from his training in Lombard Milan and his triumphal rise in papal Rome, up to his dramatic final years in Naples, Malta, and Sicily. On the heels of Caravaggio year 2010, this work offers a comprehensive reassessment of Caravaggio’s entire oeuvre, with a catalogue raisonné of his works. Few other artists have provoked such controversy and so many contradictory interpretations right up to modern times. Celebrated by some for his naturalism and his revolutionary pictorial inventions, he was considered by others to have destroyed painting. Sublime blasphemy? The complete œuvre of the dark genius who revolutionized European painting Caravaggio, or more accurately Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571–1610), was a legend even in his own lifetime. |
