Summary: "In The Art of Time in Memoir, critic, editor, and memoirist Sven Birkerts examines the human impulse to write about the self.

Summary: If the French Revolution had an official painter, it was Jacques-Louis David-although "official propagandist" is a much more accurate term. This program follows David's career from his early ambitions as a Prix de Rome scholar to the actions that defined him, morally and artistically, during the reigns of Robespierre and Napoleon. With The Death of Marat as its centerpiece, the program studies...
