ACADEMIA EDU. Charles W Haxthausen – Interpreting Beckmann
Nothing could be more ridiculous or irrelevant than a ‘philosophical conception’ painted purely intellectually without the terrible fury of the senses grasping each form of beauty and ugliness. If from those forms that I have found in the visible, so-called literary subjects result . . . they have all originated from the senses, in this case from the eyes, and each intellectual subject has been transformed again into form, color, and space.

Jack Zipes – On the Use and Abuse of Folk and Fairy Tales with Children
This revised, expanded, and updated edition of the 1979 landmark Breaking the Magic Spell examines the enduring power of fairy tales and the ways they invade our subjective world. In seven provocative essays, Zipes discusses the importance of investigating oral folk tales in their socio-political context and traces their evolution into literary fairy tales, a metamorphosis that often diminished the ideology of the original narrative. Zipes also looks at how folk tales influence our popular beliefs and the ways they have been exploited by a corporate media network intent on regulating the mystical elements of the stories. He examines a range of authors, including the Brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Anderson, Ernst Bloch, Tolkien, Bettelheim, and J.K. Rowling to demonstrate the continuing symbiotic relationship between folklore and literature.
Folktales from India: Teaching the King a Lesson

The Leiden Collection
The Leiden Collection that Thomas S. Kaplan and his wife, Daphne Recanati Kaplan, have assembled over the past 17 years includes more than 250 paintings and drawings by many of the finest artists from the Dutch Golden Age. Named after Rembrandt van Rijn’s native city, The Leiden Collection has extraordinary depth and breadth in paintings by Leiden artists, ranging from significant paintings by Rembrandt and Jan Lievens to outstanding works by Gerrit Dou and Frans van Mieris. This essay presents an overview of the Collection. “A Portrait in Oil,” Tom Kaplan’s personal account of his and Daphne’s journey as collectors of Dutch art, explains how the Collection took shape.
