 The Sculpture of Gaston Lachaise
Lachaise alone among the sculptors of this generation is the one whom it is not ridiculous to cite in connection with Michelangelo.
Lachaise, above all other sculptors since the Renaissance, is the interpreter of maturity.
In the American sculpture of his period he is pre-eminent, the only artist in the sculptural medium who, through both the quality and the copiousness of his production, comes in on the level of the great European masters and sustains serious comparison with their best efforts.

In the filmmakers' own words, they discarded the picturesque and anecdotal elements of the novel 'to create through the story of a middle-class German family from 1910 to our times a pure cinematographic, moral and political reflection on the last fifty years of German life, a kind of film oratorio'.

 Adventures in CyberSound: Robertson's Phantasmagoria
Paris' Pre-Lachaise cemetery was designed as a 'walk-about cemetery,' a notion based on the English-style gardens which were so fashionable during the Romantic era.
It was established in 1804 in a 17 hectare park, and its layout was conceived by the architect Brongniart.
Here, the single, guttering candle was quickly extinguished, and muffled sounds of wind and thunder (produced by 'les sons lugubres de tamtam') filled the crypt.

 [2-2-98] Rez Sacharoff, Manif a Velo-- Paris' Version of Critical Mass
The ride slows as we reach the ancient Pere-Lachaise cemetery-an appropriate destination since today is France's "Fete des Morts," when people gather at family gravesites to pay homage to the departed.
The ride is not just the manifestation of one group's ambition; as with Critical Mass, most participants come for their own reasons, whether political or environmental, or simply for the pleasure of the ride.
As the ride continues northeast along the Avenue de la Republique, I strike up a conversation with a member of Chiche, a coalition of environmental youth groups that co-sponsors the five-year-old manif a velo (bike demo).
