...lecture hall is detectable all through this book. (Some passages have more dates than an almanac.) But the juxtaposition of Tristan's and Gauguin's stories is fascinating all the same. In their different ways, both were moralists and proselytizers. Gauguin saw his paintings as pamphlets. His sensual Tahitians and Maori gods, his untamed yellows and greens were ripostes to the attenuated spiritual powers of Europe. His grandmother, meanwhile, was eventually compelled to admit the importance of sex for human happiness, despite her attachment to higher goals. And both were constantly embroiled in fights with the police, clergy and courts...
...tune called Toxic, during which they blindfold Spears, roll her around the studio on an ottoman and run their hands - among other things - over her half-naked body. (Come to think of it, that guy who licked Spears' face does look a tad peaked.) "More mature and more sensual" is how Jive Records president Barry Weiss describes Spears' new sound. Her act has indeed come a long way since the days when her best move was skipping around in a skimpy schoolgirl outfit. Her music has evolved (thanks, in part, to techno and hip-hop infusions from Moby, RedZone, Ying...
...Sixties. Highlights include a young, comparatively normal-looking Mick Jagger wearing a pi-emblazoned jumpsuit as he struts through “Jumpin’ Jack Flash,” and a dazzlingly languid “Love in Vain,” full of slo-mo and sensual red lighting. This is the rare concert movie that grips you as fully as a great fiction film. Don’t miss it. Harvard Film Archive, Friday...
...reaction to Chirac’s affection was both priceless, and refreshingly symbolic of the current relationship between Bush’s America and Europe. It combined a puritanical disdain for the swarthy Frenchman’s advances, and an innocent horror at the (for her) overly physical and sensual nature of the gesture. Surely, she thought, this was someone a degenerate like Tipper Gore would adore (after all, she made out with her husband on national television, in front of the children!), but not a mild-mannered librarian and Moral Majoritarian from small-town America...
...Venice, but one that looked east in artistic matters to the traditions of the Byzantine. By his 20s he was already a recognized local practitioner of the religious-icon style. His gifts and ambition eventually took him to Venice, where his art was transformed by the twisting energies and sensual palettes of Titian and Tintoretto, all of which he turned to his own purposes. In The Purification of the Temple, a scene that he produced in many versions over the years, the poses are borrowed from Michelangelo and Tintoretto, among other sources. And the temple is the familiar architectural space...
