Dans l??uvre de Carole Benzaken (née en 1964) la vanité est omniprésente. Son esthétique de l?impermanence et sa mise en suspens des choses par la peinture s?étend desTulipesqui l?ont fait connaître, jusqu?à sesÉclats, série la plus récente de l?artiste.Dès les années 1990, ses motifs floraux évoquent déjà les grandes heures de la vanité au XVIIe siècle. Plus tard, la reprise de cette série sous le nom d?Autoportrait (ancien)(2013) joue sur l?autocitation et l?humour, comme unmemento morijubilatoire.Après avoir vu son rapport au temps bouleversé par son séjour aux États-Unis, Carole Benzaken achète une ferme en Mayenne en 2004, non loin du Mans, dans le but d?y installer un atelier. Elle fréquente le musée de Tessé et admire le chef-d??uvre de Philippe de Champaigne,La Vanité. C?est alors que naît la sérieEcclésiaste 7 : 24. Inspirée du texte biblique, elle se réfère littéralement à la vanité des choses humaines et à un «profond, profond» inaccessible.Dès lors, sa création se teinte d?une importante réflexion sur l?éphémère. L?image brouillée, floutée, difractée, est conçue chez Carole Benzaken comme un montage, une superposition de couches à la recherche d?une sensation toute cézanienne, dans la négation des images « mortifères » qui envahissent nos quotidiens. Le végétal, omniprésent dans sa peinture, présente la nature comme source d?inspiration et modèle de temporalité invitant à la sagesse et à la lenteur dans un monde où, frénétiquement, tout s?accélère.…

Halperine-Kaminsky ; translated by Ethel M. Arnold." ; "That Ivan Sergu&vitch Tourgueneff was one of the most human and lovable of men readers of his novels must long ago have discovered for themselves, and the letters contained in this volume, written for the most part to his intimate friends among that group of remarkable Frenchmen who made Paris what it was in the fifties and sixties, can only confirm this impression. It may be said at once that Tourgueneff was in no sense a great letter-writer. Letters were to him precisely what they have been to many hard-working literary men and women, such as Balzac and George Eliot for instance-viz., merely a means to an end, that end being the communication of necessary information to his correspondents. They made no demand upon his literary sense, and, consequently, obtained no response from it. Only very seldom, when, for instance, he found himself back in his native land, on his own property in the Province of Orel, did he indulge in letter-writing rightly so-called, and then only because his sense of the complete ignorance of his correspondents as to his surroundings stirred his artistic instinct, urging him to produce graphic little word pictures of his setting and mode of life. For this reason the letters from Russia will probably be considered by the general public as the most interesting of the series.The last fifty years of this century have witnessed many changes in the world of art and letters, but perhaps no change has been so marked, or so revolutionary, as that which has taken place in the whole conception and character of the novel. Fifty years ago the romantic convention reigned supreme; truth, in our modern sense of the words, lay hidden at the bottom of the well. Time passed, and romanticism, together with all the stagemachinery of old-fashioned fiction, was thrown contemptuously on one side, and every novelist went a-groping down the well for Truth. Many of them emerged bearing inanimate objects covered with mud and slime which they palmed off upon a credulous world as the long-sought goddess, some bearing fragments of undoubted authenticity but insufficient of themselves to satisfy a desire as old as time, as enduring as eternity. Only one or two, and in our opinion Tourgueneff was preeminently one of this select band, found what they sought, and revealed to us the clear, strong, but pitiful face of Truth herself.The most interesting and intimate among them, are, as will be seen, addressed to Gustave Flaubert. The two men seem to have conceived an instantaneous liking for one another the first time they met, and this instinctive sympathy developed into a friendship which was only terminated by Flaubert's death. Of the letters which passed between them, we see of course in this volume only those written by Tourgueneff, but they arc quite sufficient to show how easy, affectionate, and confidential were the relations existing between the two men. The common termination of "Je vous embrasse" which, in order to avoid the foreign air a literal translation would inevitably have lent to the correspondence, I have generally translated by "much love to you," is alone sufficient to show the closeness of the friendship.1 But in order that no doubt may exist in the reader's mind as to its rec1procal nature, M. Halperine-Kaminsky gives us several quotations both from Flaubert's letters and from the de Goncourt Journals, which show clearly enough that Tourgueneff's affectionate admiration for the author of Madame Bovary was cordially and amply returned. The same may also be said with regard to his relations with Georges Sand, whom he always revered as the original source of his literary inspiration" ; green cloth ; wear on spine ; G. Book. …

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. No Jacket. lxvii, 760 pages : illustrations ; 29 cm OCLC 52073501 This reprint of the first edition of Sweet's Catalog commemorates the 90th anniversary of the Sweet's business."--Foreword ; "In offering to the public, and especially to the architects of the United States, the first edition of Sweet's Indexed Catalogue of Building Construction, the publishers have realized at the very outset the importance of stating clearly, first, what the book is, and secondly, the reasons for commending it to the architectural profession for their use and support. .to explain in a few words the character and purpose of the work, . a embodied in these first successful efforts toward a really scientific standard catalogue and index of building materials and construction. Let the matter be looked at entirely from the point of view of the architect. For a period of a dozen years, every possible method of collecting, sorting, classifying, filing and indexing all the catalogues and circulars of building materials was conscientiously given a fair trial, and after a thorough test, every method was just as conscientiously abandoned. They were abandoned because they did not work well in the specification room. They were not practicable. Everything was tried, arrangements of shelves, bookcases, pasteboard boxes, filing cases, patent binders, filing cabinets, cases of drawers, indexing schemes and " index- rerums. " At first, all the big books were put together in one place and all the little books in another place; and then all the big and little books were mixed up together, and indexed according to subject. Some had four pages, and some had four hundred pages. Barely two were of the same shape or superficies. The little ones would not stand up, and could not be gotten at when laid flat. Another elaborate system was introduced, and a voluminous cross-index started, but the big books contained too much useless matter, and the little books got lost or mislaid or could not be found just when wanted. Then the writer decided, after much time and expense, that the present system of publishing and distributing catalogues, as far as the architect is concerned, might be rightly termed " The Catalogue Delusion, " and that the only solution of the problem must lie in a scientific standard catalogue and index of building materials and construction, gradually developed toward an ideal result by the co-operation of manufacturer and architect. Briefly, then, what is Sweet's Indexed Catalogue of Building Construction? It is a scientific catalogue book system ( a volume or series of volumes) , as easy to refer to as a dictionary, consisting of groups of catalogues from which as much unnecessary matter as possible has been eliminated, carefully indexed and cross- indexed, and sent out gratuitously by the publishers to every architect of good standing. Each catalogue in the work is organically arranged in its parts. It proceeds in a regular order from fact " A " to fact " Z " . Illustrations of a certain class are all grouped and arranged according to some obvious plan. " Literature " and " mere writing " are omitted, as an architect has no time in his office for either."; authors and compilers include Wm. Martin Aiken, Claire Allen, J. M. Baillie, Charles I.
