Subject: Olympics in art --Athletes in art --Art, Greek --Athletes --Greece --History --Exhibitions. Summary: As Athens prepares for 2004, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, proudly presents the original Olympics in all their sweaty, heroic glory. Like today, sports were a vital part of daily life in ancient Greece. Games for the Gods unearths the original traditions of athletics, highlighting both the fascinating similarities and the jarring differences between the ancient ways and our own. We might not be used to such Classical customs as associating athletic festivals with certain gods, seeing our athletes compete in the nude, or having them indulge in dirty fighting as accepted practice (then again...) , but the excitement of competition, admiration for athletic skill, and adoration of champions--as well as several of the sports--are just as familiar to fans today as they were to the ancients. The Greek games here come to life in a series of texts that explore the Olympics then and now, the origins of the games and various athletic events, and the ways in which the contests were prepared for and the victors honored. With stunning illustrations of over 140 sculptures, vases, and coins, as well as photographs of modern athletes, Games for the Gods is a unique celebration of the Olympic spirit through the ages., Boston, Mass. : MFA Publications, A Division Of The Museum Of Fine Arts, 2004, 0, London: The Reprint Society., 1958.

Adah Isaacs Menken was an American actress, painter and poet, and was the highest earning actress of her time. She was born on June 15, 1835 in Memphis, TN and died on August 10, 1868 in Paris, France. Menken was best known for her performance in the hippodrama Mazeppa, with a climax that featured her apparently nude and riding a horse on stage!. She was infamous for her affairs and this book fearlessly tells of her relationships with Bret Harte, Mark Twain, Walt Whitman, Charles Dickens, Algernon Charles Swinburne, Dante Rossetti, Alexandre Dumas pere, Theophile Gautier, and George Sand.

Filled with images from every stage of Chuck Close's distinguished career, this volume surveys the entirety of the artist's photographic oeuvre for the very first time. Documenting Chuck Close's vital engagement with photography over the course of many decades, this book offers the first full critical assessment of his work behind the camera. Beautifully produced, this unique volume traces Close's ambitious innovations in a medium he never intended to master. It presents the full spectrum of Close's camera work, from early Polaroids to large-format composites, studio maquettes, holograms, daguerreotypes, and Woodburytypes. The illustrations vary from Close's signature portraits and self-portraits to nudes, flowers, and delightful outtakes from sessions with celebrity subjects. With a penetrating essay by Colin Westerbeck and a fascinating conversation with the artist about his personal vision of photography, this book is destined to become an indispensable publication on one of the art world's most talented and intriguing figures. It will offer new insights into Close's creative process as well as his courageous and resourceful forays into a uniquely modern medium that he has made his very own., Prestel, 2014, 6<
