DINORÁ JUSTICE: THE LAY OF THE LAND
November 18, 2023–April 14, 2024
razilian American artist Dinorá Justice (b. 1969) uses a distinct visual vocabulary to examine intertwined histories of gender, landscape, and visual culture. In her paintings, feminine figures, lush natural environments, and rich marbled patterns subtly reframe art historical “masterpieces” with care and attention, recognizing their merits and, at the same time, rejecting their tendency to cast feminine figures as symbols of colonized territory for the male eye. Her sculptures riff on ancient figurines that once celebrated cycles of life.
In her painting Portrait 51, after Delacroix’s “Women of Algiers” (2021), the artist unifies anonymous female subjects by placing them in interdependent dialogue with their outdoor setting. Linking women figures directly to the natural world is a common theme throughout Justice’s work. While this connection is often idealized and romanticized in art historical contexts, the reality is grimmer—violence against women and the environment is rampant. Luring viewers with vibrancy, Justice’s works awaken attention and shift perspectives not just on art history, but on how we care for one another and the world around us.

VIDA DE CHOPIN, BIOGRAFÍA DE KAZIMIERZ WIERZYNSKI. TRADUCTORA: ELZBIETA BORTKIEWICZ
El poeta polaco Kazimierz Wierzyński recibió el encargo de escribir una biografía de su compatriota Fryderyk Chopin durante su exilio en los Estados Unidos, tras su huida de Polonia durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial.
Su misión no se alejaba de la que décadas antes habían llevado a cabo los grandes profetas románticos polacos: Adam Mickiewicz, Juliusz Słowacki y Zygmunt Krasiński.
Como ellos, Wierzyński tenía ante sí la trascendental misión
de presentar el modelo de patriotismo y supervivencia nacional polaco, para lo
cual reconstruir la figura de Chopin se le brindaba como una oportunidad
extraordinaria de recuperar para el mundo, y especialmente para sus
compatriotas en el exilio y dentro de las fronteras de Polonia, ese ánimo
patrio tan necesario tras la subyugación de su país al totalitarismo nazi y
soviético.
La obra tuvo un extraordinario eco en los círculos
intelectuales norteamericanos y europeos, lo que inmediatamente se plasmó en la
aparición de numerosas traducciones a otros idiomas. Pero fue, sin duda, en los
ambientes de los polacos en el exilio donde el libro se recibió con mayor
alborozo, traspasando una dimensión que iba mucho más allá de los ámbitos de la
erudición musical.
Quizá uno de los
mayores méritos del libro sea haber ahondado en la verdadera vida del músico,
desde su infancia y hasta su muerte, y no limitarse a los tradicionales
estudios sobre el virtuosismo musical de Chopin.
Como explica en su
prólogo Fernando Presa, «Wierzyński se adentra con pasión y minuciosidad en los
detalles existenciales del músico y sus experiencias más íntimas, para analizar
y explicar el genio de su obra.
Todo ello conforma un conjunto de imágenes íntimas y personales que revelan a un Chopin hasta entonces desconocido para el mundo, y que convierten la lectura del libro en una vibrante introspección desconocida de la personalidad y de la música del artista». Traducido directamente del polaco, por Elzbieta BORTKIEWICZ, activa participante de la vida polaca en España y miembro de Radio Sefarad Madrid.

NATHAN HILL’S ‘WELLNESS’ SATIRIZES THE MODERN CONDITION — KIND OF
The second novel by the author of “The Nix” follows a young Chicago couple’s trajectory from pre-internet optimism to 21st-century ennui.
Holly Stapleton
By Andrew Martin
Nathan Hill’s novels are, among other things, feats of
narrative architecture. “My projects are vast creatures of shocking
complexity,” a real-estate developer none-too-humbly notes early in Hill’s new
novel, “Wellness” — “intricate, unruly, asynchronous, a little baroque.” Given
the vastness of the 600-page book that follows, one can’t help imagining the
author is supplying a would-be ars poetica of his own.
Compared with Hill’s kaleidoscopic, best-selling debut, “The
Nix,” with its dives into 1960s radicalism, gaming culture and contemporary
campus politics, “Wellness” seems at first to promise something more grounded
and lived-in. Set in 2015, it chronicles the mid-marriage malaise of Jack and
Elizabeth, he a photographer and adjunct art professor, she the proprietor of,
well, Wellness, a company once dedicated to debunking fad diets and other
health scams but now in the business of tricking people into happier lives
through the deployment of placebos. (Her signatureproduct is a fake love potion
that claims to improve troubled marriages.) The couple’s sex life has
stagnated; they’ve spent their savings on a fancy, as-yet-unbuilt condo in the
Chicago suburbs; and their 8-year-old son Toby’s struggles with socializing and
impulse control are stressing them out.
The ingredients are in place for a Franzen-esque exploration
of The Way We Live Now, and, at least for a while, this is what the book
delivers. Elizabeth befriends a younger mother at Toby’s school who evangelizes
for polyamory in terms that will be familiar to readers of Esther Perel;
another new friend leads a group dedicated to the law of attraction and the
practice of manifesting their desires. Jack argues with his father about Ebola
conspiracy theories on Facebook and is subjected at his university to an only-just-implausible
new regime in which a professor’s pay is tied to the amount of social media
engagement he generates.
Hill’s treatment of various forms of contemporary groupthink approaches but isn’t quite parody (except in the case of the law of attraction group, who are soon unmasked as vicious, and oddly moralistic, idiots). The novel reproduces at great length many ofthe most irritating aspects of contemporary white-collar life — teeth-grinding human-resources jargon and tech speak, vapid behavioral psychology — sometimes to poke mild fun at it, but often in seeming earnest. “So the brain — which is still operating a Paleolithic simulation set atop our 21st-century world — does a cost-benefit analysis: It will only spend the energy needed to cure you when it is certain there is enough energy to go around, when itis certain you are safe from harm,” Elizabeth’s mentor explains. After another page of this, Elizabeth deduces: “Information overload is the new hungry lion.” Hill cites his sources in an extensive bibliography at the end — pages and pages of books and articles both popular and academic, from “Sex at Dawn” and Jaron Lanier to a wide array of scientific studies about picky eating among infants and toddlers, as though he’s anxious we might thinkhe’s making any of this up.
It’s a tall order to wrestle so much secondhand material
into something emotionally resonant, and, intentionally or not, the same pop
psychology Hill examines — with its tendency toward simple, all-encompassing
solutions — pervades the novel’s own logic. Franzen’s moralism can be
irritating, but at least his pervasive skepticism gives him a solid foundation
from which to critique the culture he writes about. Hill’s disposition is
fundamentally sanguine — if one’s pay gets linked to social mediahits, the
solution is to go viral…………………

ONGOING MASTERPIECES OF EGYPTIAN SCULPTURE FROM THE PYRAMID AGE
Journey back 4,500 years to the Giza plateau in ancient Egypt, where a group of artists and their patrons devised a new way of representing the human body in sculpture. Commanding in presence and sublime in aesthetic, their works represent a pinnacle of artistic innovation. For millennia, the Egyptians looked back on the sculpture of this period as benchmarks to follow.
“Masterpieces of Egyptian Sculpture from the Pyramid Age” tells the story of this artistic moment and the culture that shaped it through some of the singular landmarks of the Old Kingdom (2575–2150 BCE). The bust of Prince Ankhhaf, the man who oversaw the completion of the Great Pyramid, is the most convincing example of realistic portraiture to survive from the Old Kingdom.
The adjacent gallery, “Faces of Ancient Egypt,” illustrates
the breadth of approaches sculptors took in creating distinctive likeness over
2,000 years of Egyptian artistic development. From the Twelfth Dynasty and the
Late Period, respectively, the Josephson and Boston Green Heads are sensitive
portrayals of a nobleman and a priest with startlingly realistic features.
Meanwhile, a portrait of Pharaoh Amenhotep III from the Eighteenth Dynasty
smiles broadly without a single crease in its cheeks, making it more of an
elegant mask than a lifelike depiction.
