...idealistic dreams of fraternal love and spontaneous world order. None of the painters in his circle were untouched by anarchist ideas, particularly those of Pyotr Kropotkin. Some, notably Maximilian Luce, were vigorous activists, marked down by the police. Signac was never that militant, but his best friend among critics, Felix Feneon, was always suspected (though this was never proved) of having helped carry out a deadly bomb attack on a fashionable Paris restaurant, Foyot's. Signac never hurt anyone, though he was right in the thick of the closest relationship between political and aesthetic radicalism that the 19th century could...
...opposite extreme from this image is Signac's wonderful and bizarre Portrait of Felix Feneon, Opus 217, 1890-91--the fox-jawed face with its little tuft of beard in profile, the hand holding a cyclamen, against a madly spiraling background of fruit-jelly abstract forms.

And with good reason—within the context of house music’s stomping four-on-the-floor beat, the Jaxx add an array of unexpected elements. Contributing to the mix are destabilizing rhythms gleaned from the likes of Timbaland, catchy melodic hooks and actual song structures, as well as a punk-like immediacy achieved with their startlingly original usage of noisy, densely...
...deceptive ploy that soon had bona fide dancers singing along with the raunchy divas, and dance neophytes feeling the immortal pulse of the 909 kick drum. The surprises continued when Simon picked up an acoustic guitar for “Rendez-vu,” and Felix (progenitor of incredibly cool music but ostensibly a geek behind a mixing board) rushed to the front of the stage with a microphone and, in true rock-star fashion, sang-screamed the lyrics to the spastic, Gary Numan-sampling “Where’s Your Head...
