Chiaroscuro Information
Review: Joel Toledo's 'Chiaroscuro' pits art, nostalgia versus childhood demons (ABS-CBNNEWS.com) By the year 2006 the Bridport Prize International Creative Writing Competition had earned the kind of venerable reputation that only a thirty-year history, plus an impressive roster of winners and judges, could grant. Housekeeping: Marilynne Robinson's 'Home' (The New York Sun) Marilynne Robinson is an anomaly in the great tradition of American literature. One of our few novelists at peace with religion, she isn't interested in the post-Puritanical game of unmasking hypocrisy, of entering into darkness. Unlike Hawthorne's New England, Sherwood Anderson's Winesburg, Ohio, Faulkner's Yoknapatawpha County, or Cormac McCarthy's Texas border country, Ms. Robinson's Gilead ... Take a stroll on the other side (The Daily Tribune) Dark, convoluted images, hair-raising animal heads propped in mannequin bodies, gas masks, aliens, spiked bracelets and chokers ?these are usually not part of your ?everyday? art. These do not show images of the flowery, light and cheerful paintings and sculptures that most of us deem as art pieces. Ringling Brothers: Ring leaders (Creative Loafing Atlanta) Artists show a shared philosophy and school... By Cinque Hicks Steven Dixey's "Nemesis, Goddess of Divine Retribution," on view at Beep Beep Gallery, would be easy to misread. The small, acrylic painting depicts the multiarmed goddess clutching instruments of justice and punishment: a cat o' nine tails, a sword, a set of balance scales. Shadowed in deep chiaroscuro, she spreads her dark wings ... Poster service: The Exorcist poster reveals European influence and American fear (Guardian Unlimited) Dark and light, silhouette and rain all speak of the moral anxiety plaguing the US in the early 70s, writes Paul Rennie On the Margins of Noir (New York Times) The Fox Film Noir collection includes Archie Mayo?s ?Moontide? (1942), Elia Kazan?s ?Boomerang!? (1947) and Jean Negulesco?s ?Road House? (1948). 'Exiles' paints bleak picture of American Indians in L.A. (The Tennessean) Kent McKenzie's 1961 film, The Exiles, is finally receiving a proper theatrical release, and it's thanks to filmmakers Sherman Alexie (Smoke Signals) and Charles Burnett (Killer of Sheep) that it's happening. Light and shade (The Australian) Max Meldrum was an influential, outspoken figure in Australian art, but his ideas about the purpose of painting miss the mark Intermission: Don Cheadle adds depth and legitimacy to spy film ?Traitor? (Stanford Daily) We?ve come to expect a lot from Don Cheadle. Bangkok Dangerous (18) (Independent) Nicolas Cage, hair an unattractive black-dyed comb-back and face ever closer in contour to Gene Wilder, stars in this Pang brothers remake of their Hong Kong thriller. |
