	The Face Of Bach - Queens College Lecture (7) The 1746 Haussmann Portrait
		For the present, I shall bypass the discussion of the problems with the provenance of the 1746 Haussmann, the whereabouts of which between 1746 and 1801/1802 cannot be documented with any certainty whatsoever, and focus on the problems associated with its condition.
		The 1746 Haussmann portrait is to the Bach iconography what "The Last Supper" is to the da Vinci iconography: the unfortunate victim of generations of good intentions.
		The 1746 Haussmann portrait has been restored again recently, and in its present state it may now arguably be truer to the Haussmann original than Walter Kühn's restoration was, but, as a primary source of information about Bach's physiognomy, its value is severely limited.

	A novel take on Paris' master builder
		"Madeleine was predisposed to love Haussmann because she loved her own imagination, and Haussmann, in Paris, in 1858, was the author of all that could be imagined." As it turns out, their affair's most formidable obstacle is that which, by this account, made it possible to begin with: the baron's ambition.
		Another important figure in "Haussmann" is the French writer Paul Poissel, to whom, LaFarge explains in a framed annotation, authorship of the novel truly belongs.
		Readers going into "Haussmann" for a formal biography of the man and an analysis of his work (a starchy preamble to some extensive index and appendix with figures and diagrams) might well come out feeling duped, and so they should.

		In 1853 Napoleon III appointed Baron Georges-Eugène Haussmann, a lawyer and civil servant, to the post of prefect of the Seine département of France.
		`Haussmannism' is often seen as a kind of urban vandalism presaging the great modern devastations in the name of progress; it can also look like totalitarian imposition by an authority eager to control and police its populace and to suppress revolution.
		In this film, however, Haussmann's scheme is considered as a rigorous and coherent means of controlling the growth of a city.

		This is very much Bennett territory; a static world of repressed intimacy in which incidentals -- the arch of an eyebrow, a thought spoken aloud, the plumping of pillows -- seems meaningful, and he handles it with economy and wit.
		Its underlying musing on the nature of genius may be a meander up an intellectual cul-de-sac, but the cul-de-sac is beautifully shot, set in a space and time entirely of its own, and governed by two extraordinary characters.

		In his projected layout of the new city, which he imposed over the street pattern of the ancien regime, he anticipated the presence of a great opera house worthy not only of the capital of France and the Second Empire, but of the culture of the world.
