" Ein junger Mann, 1903 im Mittleren Westen geboren und aus einer Mittelklassefamilie stammend, mit einem Hang zur Literatur und sprachlich begabt, ein Bewunderer Frankreichs, was Lebensart und Dichtung anbelangt, allen voran Flaubert und Baudelaire (aber auch Gide und Cendrars), dieser junge Mann kehrt nach einem Jahr in Frankreich (1926/27) nach New York zurück, freut sich in der Folgezeit, dass es die Reichen im Börsenkrach des Jahres 1929 hart trifft, greift zu einer Kamera und macht beinahe von den ersten Bildern an bemerkenswerte Photographien von der Welt, wie er sie sieht - und diese Welt ist die amerikanische." Mit diesen Worten beginnt Svetlana Alpers (geb. 1936), eine der angesehensten Kunsthistorikerinnen der USA, ihre große Studie zu Walker Evans (1903-1975). Ihr Berufsleben lang hat sie sich mit europäischer Malerei beschäftigt, um sich jetzt zum ersten Mal in ihrer Karriere mit einem Photographen und einem Amerikaner auseinanderzusetzen. Auslöser mag Evans' Hang zur Literatur gewesen sein. Er wollte ursprünglich selbst Schriftsteller werden, sollte dann aber ein Werk schaffen, das als der bedeutendste Beitrag Amerikas zur Photographie des 20. Jahrhunderts gilt. Besondere Aufmerksamkeit widmet sie dem entscheidenden Jahr in Frankreich, Evans' literarischen Leitbildern Flaubert und Baudelaire und der dokumentarischen Poesie eines Eugène Atget, seines "größten photographischen Vorläufers", wie er selbst sagte. Die erste Auftragsarbeit und Evans' einzige Arbeit außerhalb der USA - die 31 Bilder für das Buch The Crime of Cuba und die über 400 Aufnahmen, die er 1933 in dem einen Monat auf Kuba macht - legt sein Lebensmotto der "subventionierten Freiheit" fest: bezahlt, aber mit größtmöglicher Unabhängigkeit zu reisen und zu photographieren. Amerika wird sein ausschließliches Thema: die Bergbaugebiete des Nordens, Läden und Hütten der Schwarzen in den Südstaaten, drei weiße Pächterfamilien in Alabama, die Tradition der Minstrel-Shows, der Bürgerkrieg und seine Spätfolgen, die Große Depression ... 1938 gipfelt diese Schaffensphase in American Photographs, der ersten Einzelausstellung, die das MoMA einem Photographen widmet. Sie wurde zu Walker Evans' "Visitenkarte" für eine letztlich abgesicherte Zukunft als Journalist, als Lehrender in Yale - und als Photograph, der sein Medium für das literarischste unter den bildenden Künsten hielt. Wolfgang Kemp (geb. 1946), Kunsthistoriker und Autor unseres Hauses seit den Anfängen des Verlags, hat Svetlana Alpers' Text übersetzt und ein Nachwort dazu verfasst.

Fun with a late blooming omega
Format: Kindle
I like this book. The story is fun, cute, and sexy. There's just a little drama, some excellent, steamy scenes, and a fairly good relationship building storyline. I especially like how all the main characters are a bit older than the usual 20 somethings I tend to see in this kind of book. Having said that, I wish there were more descriptions of the places, as well as the food in the fancy restaurant. I enjoyed the cocktails at the club, so I missed that kind of detail when Gray took Madison on a dinner date. I also wish there had been more interaction between Lucas and Madison, and Lucas and Rian. It felt a bit lopsided, with a focus on Rian, Madison, and Gray. I wish it had been proofread - there are a lot of typos, but nothing too distracting.

Madison Deserved Better
Format: Kindle
Madison was a beta...except she wasn't any longer. She was a late presenting Omega. And she was struggling. She was tall and thin, not tiny and curvy. She was opinionated. She was everything an Omega was not. After suffering through her first heat, her friends took her to Ardor, a club where Omegas came to safely find Alphas. She's not expecting much but then she connects with a sexy beta. And when she meets his Alphas, they set her body on fire. Maybe, she's found her no-strings-attached heat pack. Maybe, she's found something more. I could not connect with the characters in this book, so their story never resonated with me. And there was no love story; there was sex. Grey made it clear from the beginning that he had a true love and it was his beta boy, Rian. He went so far as to reassure Rian “Say the word, I’ll never touch her again. Lucas can put the babies in her. I only need you, beta boy”. So, Madison was there for babies, no emotions needed. Nice. No, thank you. I want the Omega to be the center of their world, not an incubator. Lucas and Rian weren't any better. After her heat, they let her leave. Not one of them made her feel valued. No one gave her a reason to stay or even offered a cuddle. And the sex didn't even come across as mind-blowing. Madison deserved better.

Pretty Darn Good
Format: Kindle
So I’ve been on a omega kick and this definitely hit the spot. Madison was frustrating at times with how she acted towards Lucas, Gray, and Rian. It was like she said towards the end, she didn’t believe she deserved nice things. It would have been nice to hear from her best friends again. They kind of were there in the beginning and the gone except for mention of text messages received from them. I feel like her friends would have been great help in encouraging Madison to go with the pack and never give Brent another chance because he was toxic. I loved Rian. His personality was awesome. His humor. His ability to make Madison comfortable whenever she was feeling overwhelmed. And the fact he fell for her and she fell for him first. They are cute together. I do feel like Lucas was the odd man out though. Like Lucas didn’t develop as much of a relationship with Madison. I would have really liked to see more development in the relationship between them. It was also the same with him and Rian. There is really no relationship displayed. Most of the relationship being displayed is between Rian and Gray. Nevertheless, I loved reading about the dynamic that came to fruition during the entirety of this story. Madison finally got her happiness. And Brent finally got punched in the face. Everyone got exactly what they deserve.
