...death in 1953, his daughter Nina gained posthumous fame in the Soviet Union as Russia's Anne Frank. At the age of 20, she had been executed by the Nazis for her part in a partisan raid, and her diary of the dark days of the German invasion, published in 1962, won wide acclaim. Once rehabilitated, Kosterin spent much of his time criticizing Russian officialdom for its treatment of minority groups, notably the Crimean Tartars, and, more recently, dissident intellectuals, until he died of a heart ailment...

From the mannerists, he borrows "shot colors" -red blending into orange, blue fading into green. He employs the whiplash and the curvilinear strokes of art nouveau. He features the upholstered monsters of comic strips, the impudent whimsy of Dada, the vibrating poster art of Peter Max.

California did not sanction this ground because Governor Ronald Reagan threatened to veto any bill that included...
Schutz, who was born into the world of Shakespeare and Cervantes and died in the world of Corneille and Racine, was the greatest German composer before Bach. His surpassing importance as one of music's choral masters is exceeded only by his inexplicable anonymity. He absorbed the colossal Baroque style of Giovanni Gabrieli as well as the audacious innovations of Monteverdi, both Schutz's contemporaries and teachers, to forge a colorfully formal, intensely spiritual, quietly progressive style. In its unorthodox form, the Exequien looks forward to the cantatas of Bach and the oratorios of Handel. The work is characterized...
