Joan Didion: What She Means is an “exhibition as portrait” of the California born writer and “grapples with the evolution of Didion’s singular voice as a writer, observer of place and family, and chronicler of our times.”* The exhibition is accompanied by an illustrated catalogue published by Hammer Museum and Prestel/DelMonico. Golden California light unites the magical landscape with the sacred space of the studio while abstracting its forms and architecture, bringing our attention to their poetic and intertwined relationships. ![]() ![]() ![]() Lundeberg is one of approximately 60 artists whose work is included in this exhibition that is chronologically laid out in four chapters following Didion’s life according to the “places she called home.”* Lundeberg’s Studio-Afternoon, 1958-59, manifests the artist’s own sense of home and her interest in interior and exterior spaces as well as the interplay of light and shadows on their surfaces. Connie Butler will lead a Lunchtime Art Talk on Helen Lundeberg at the Hammer on October 26, 2022. We are thrilled for the inclusion of Helen Lundeberg’s Studio-Afternoon, 1958-59, in the dynamic exhibition Joan Didion: What She Means at the Hammer Museum, organized by Hilton Als in collaboration with Connie Butler, chief curator, and Ikechukwu Onyewuenyi, curatorial assistant. ![]()

I really enjoyed talking with and learning from David: his productivity advice is timeless, and the fact that he’s nearly 70 years old and still wildly passionate about his work and his company is very inspiring. Hey everyone, today’s interview is with David Allen, author of Getting Things Done and leader of the GTD productivity movement. ![]() ![]() ![]() Marian saw her child for the first time a few days after delivery and abandoned him in the hospital because of his cleft lip. ![]() Slurred Speeches and Childhood Wishes: Dolarhyde’s Life in Reviewīorn on 14th June 1938 to a struggling Irish musician, Michael Trevane and his wife, Marian Dolarhyde Trevane, fate had already decided Francis Dolarhyde would have a very disturbing and trying childhood. The characters and personalities we manifest as we grow are simply a function of the experiences that have imprinted on us- and this is the same in Dolarhyde’s case. We all come into the world as blank slates. I like to believe no human is inherently bad. However, there is something about Francis Dolarhyde, something visceral and painfully human, that squeezes at your heart. ![]() ![]() In a world obsessed with heroes and geniuses, Harris’ protagonist Will Graham will obviously take center stage- and rightfully so.

The story is told in a journalistic style that never crosses into pathos. The 14 Tuesday visits that followed their reunion took Albom-and will take listeners with him-on a journey of reawakening to life's best rewards. Albom was one of hundreds of former students and acquaintances who traveled great distances to visit Morrie in the final months of his life. Morrie, on the other hand, after a rich life filled with friends, family, teaching, and music, was dying from Lou Gehrig's disease, a crippling illness that diminished his activities daily. An accidental viewing of an interview with Morrie on Nightline led Albom to become reunited with his old teacher, friend, and "coach" at a time when Albom, a successful sportswriter, was struggling to define dissatisfactions with his own life and career. The titular Morrie was Morrie Schwartz, Albom's university professor 20 years before the events being narrated. It's an honest reading, and the underlying timbre of private memory pushes it past mere recitation to pure storytelling. ![]() As the author of this inspirational true story, Albom uses verbal inflection in exactly the right places to evoke humor, empathy, and emotion. ![]() ![]() No one but Mitch Albom could have read Tuesdays with Morrie so effectively. ![]() ![]() ![]() But worse-they reveal a sinister plot centuries in the making. ![]() These nightmares could hold the key to why natural-born human children are disappearing.

She looks at Pentecostalism and black secular music, minstrelsy and its portrayal of black religion, the black church, "crossing over" from gospel to R&B, images of the black preacher, and the salience of God in the rap of Tupac Shakur. ![]() Reed examines the link between West-African musical and religious culture and the way African Americans convey religious sentiment in styles such as the blues, rhythm and blues, soul, funk, and gangsta rap. Analyzing lyrics and the historical contexts which shaped those lyrics, Teresa L. Winner of the 2004 ARSC Award for Best Research in Recorded Rock, Rhythm & Blues or Soul, The Holy Profane explores the strong presence of religion in the secular music of twentieth-century African American artists as diverse as Rosetta Tharpe, Sam Cooke, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Earth, Wind & Fire, and Tupac Shakur. ![]() ![]() ![]() A fine example of how words and pictures can lock horns to charming effect. Title: Tea Rex Author: Molly Idle Edition: 1 Publisher: Penguin Group USA ISBN: 9780670014309 Length: 0.33 inch Width: 8.8 inch Languages: English. The cuddly yet giddily preposterous pencil art has the still-life absurdity of Chris Van Allsburg, with characters always frozen in the throes of some larger-than-life struggle against their well-meaning but deadpan dinosaur friend. ![]() After greeting a guest at the door, “Lead him through to the parlor.” (Illustration: siblings straining to pull a giant green dinosaur through a human-sized door.) Next: “Offer him a comfortable chair.” (Illustration: a dainty pink chair nearly crushed beneath a behemoth rear end.) And on it goes with the dino wreaking havoc upon each highly civilized instance of small talk or cake serving. Some kids like tea parties, others like dinosaurs, and never the twain shall meet-until now? Idle cleverly constructs her picture book as a Miss Manners–style primer on how to throw a delightfully proper tea party, and the prose’s stiff upper lip never falters no matter the monster-sized faux pas occurring within the illustrations. ![]() |
