Rijksmuseum Amsterdam Schiphol - Rijksmuseum Amsterdam - National Museum …: May 1, 3:40pm 1 review arts, museum
http://www.rijksmuseum.nl/tentoonstellingen/schiphol?lang=en; 9 April to 7 July 2008 Eight paintings by Vincent van Gogh, including the famous Almond Tree in Blossom (1888), will be presented at Rijksmuseum's branch at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol from 9 April to 7 July 2008 in an exhibition entitled Vincent van Gogh: Nature Close-Up. All the paintings have been provided by the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. The show highlights how Vincent van Gogh took his own remarkable approach to nature, by effectively zooming in on his subject. The presentation can be seen at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (airside area, between piers E and F) and offers a unique opportunity for passengers at the airport to view the artist's work away from the Van Gogh Museum.

Penguin Reading Guides | The Sea, The Sea | Iris Murdoch: Mar 31, 4:31pm 2 reviews philosophy, novel
http://us.penguingroup.com/static/rguides/us/sea_the_sea.html; Around this barb of (unheeded) reflection swirls the rich maelstrom of fantasies, plots, delusions, mind games, and awakenings that makes up Iris Murdoch's popular 1978 Booker Prize-winning novel, The Sea, The Sea. As both a philosopher and a novelist, Murdoch always concerned herself in some way or another with the struggle to develop moral goodness and the concomitant effort to vanquish obsessive self-regard. In The Sea, The Sea, she dramatizes this characteristic moral concern to great effect on a stage crowded with self-absorbed artistic Londoners out of their element in a small seaside village. As she explores the potent mixture of power, illusion, and self-delusion in retired actor, playwright, and theater director Charles Arrowby, Murdoch weaves a rich tapestry of startling events: old love affairs revive and die again, friendships sour into attempted murder, hallucinations (or are they?) portend ominous happenings, and the drowning embrace of the sea waits restlessly in the background. As Charles negotiates the turbulent swirl of events, an intricate portrait develops of a man bewitched and bewildered by his own powers of self-promotion and manipulation...

Millays Poetry in A Greenwich Village Context--by Nina Miller: Mar 24, 12:36pm 1 review poetry
http://www.english.uiuc.edu/maps/poets/m_r/millay/ninamiller.htm; ...Such dramatic national success had tangible effects on Millay's status among New Yorkers, naturally enough. Yet in this fact we also glimpse the dynamic circuit in which New York took cues from the national culture even while dictating most of its terms. Millay had an enormous literary and personal influence among the New York literati. Greenwich Village regarded her "with awe" even before her arrival there, on the strength of one passionate poem; John Peale Bishop and Edmund Wilson, young poets and literary editors at the middle-brow journal Vanity Fair, made it a personal mission to bring her work before a wide reading public; Genevieve Taggard and the other editors of the high-art little magazine Measure took Millay as their unofficial poet laureate; Countee Cullen, favorite son of the Harlem Renaissance, wrote his undergraduate thesis on Millay and pursued his professional career along distinctly lyrical and traditional lines; and even Dorothy Parker, embodiment of midtown urbanity , described her own significant (and significantly national) career as a matter of following Millay's example. In short, in the era literary criticism has taught us to see as dominated by avant-garde formalism, Millay's passionate sonnets were widely admired and imitated by writers of all kinds...
