French Images from the Greek War of Independence (1821-1830)

Art and Politics Under the Restoration

By: Nina Athanassoglou-Kallmyer,Nina M. Athanassoglou-Kallmyer

The Greek struggle against Ottoman rule was a crucial event in the history and politics of nineteenth-century Europe. In particular it had a strong impact on the political and cultural life of France during the Bourbon Restoration, where it was appropriated and promoted as the symbolic spearhead of liberal ideas and of the growing Romantic rebellion. This book by Nina Athanassoglou-Kallmyer examines the French paintings, prints, and sculptures inspired by the Greek War of Independence. Athanassoglou-Kallmyer reinterprets important works by the foremost exponents of the Romantic movement - including Delacroix, Gericault, Horace Vernet, Ary Scheffer, and David d’Angers - showing how they viewed the Greek struggle as a setting for the opposing forces of conservatism and liberalism. She explains that, far from being mere pictorial records of specific war episodes such as the massacre at Chios or the fall of Missolonghi, images of the clashes between Greeks and Turks reflected the mottos and arguments of the French liberal propaganda echoed as well by contemporary newspapers, parliamentary debates, broadsides, pamphlets, popular plays, and poems.

Nina Simone

By: Nina Simone

De briljante zangeres Nina Simone werd ondanks haar grote talent gedwarsboomd door haar eigen innerlijke tegenstellingen. Op het podium voelde en gedroeg Simone zich vrij en ongeremd. Tegelijkertijd had ze veel moeite haar artistieke ambitie te verenigen met haar toewijding aan de politieke burgerrechtenstrijd. In combinatie met haar grillige temperament leidde dit tot destructieve relaties, niet alleen met haar fans, maar ook met haar geliefde en dochter. Alan Light schreef op basis van jarenlange diepgaande research deze definitieve biografie. Hij gebruikte onder meer niet eerder gepubliceerde opnames van interviews. En zo ontstaat het beeld van de soms verdrietige en vaak verbijsterende wirwar van Nina Simones ware leven, een beeld dat Simone zelfs in haar eigen autobiografie nooit heeft willen tonen. Het resultaat is een aangrijpend, eerlijk en fascinerend portret.

History is HER Story. Life is a Story - story.one

By: Nina Neumann

In der Geschichtsschreibung sind Frauen unterrepräsentiert. Die großen Namen, die nicht von Männern getragen werden, nehmen als idealistische Vorbilder viel Raum ein - wir denken zum Beispiel an Marie Curie, Rosa Parks oder Frida Kahlo. Doch was ist mit den weniger bekannten Frauen in der Weltgeschichte? Diese kleine Erzählung des Feminismus wurde geschrieben von meist weniger bekannten, aber mitnichten weniger wichtigen Frauen, die ihre Epoche bewegten. Manche von ihnen sogar namenlos. Die Geschichte der Frau. Ein roter Faden, der alle Geschichten miteinander verbindet. Ein ernstes Thema, mit einem Augenzwinkern frei nacherzählt. History is HER story!
