...left BankBoston after 12 years as executive vice president because I had largely completed what I had set out to do and decided that it was time to move on to the next challenge and chapter in my eclectic career," he said...
...accumulation of a vast number of primary sources-letters, articles, manifestos-is, along with a detailed chronology of Rozanova's life, the crowning achievement of the work. Gurianova's remarks about the evolution of avant-garde styles from long-standing traditions in art and literature are insightful. In her chapter on "The Futurist Shift," Gurianova draws a connection between Rozanova's lithographs made to embellish Kruchenykh's narrative poem Game in Hell and the "denizens of the underworld" of Gogol and Pushkin.

Amid the splendors of her gated community and rambling, expensive house, Miriam sports a troubled conscience, for she has another child, a half-black daughter whom she has not seen in nearly 18 years. Her husband knows about this chapter of her life, closed before he met her: the time during the mid-'60s she spent teaching history at a small black college in Mississippi; her love affair with a charismatic music teacher named Eljay Reece; their estrangement when she became pregnant, and her anguished assent to his demands that...
