Week 1 of 30-day Crock-Pot mission: Single ladies and lazy carrots Nov 11, 2009
However, the romanticism of "Julie " was infectious and lit a tiny pilot light in my non-cooking soul. The flame grew stronger when an editor brought in leftovers from a tasty pot roast. (Atlanta Journal-Constitution -- Living)

No rush to keep up with the Jones girl Aug 18, 2009
Harris, the writer of Don't Know Why, th 00004000 e ever-so-laidback song that came to define the easy style and timeless romanticism of Norah Jones's first album, may be the most relaxed man in music. That Grammy-winning song, the others he wrote on that album - including I've Got to See You Again and Shoot the Moon - and pretty much everything he has recorded himself in a 15-year career would tell you that Harris works in an ocean of calm but that serenity seems to extend to every part of his...

MFA display recalls the designs of Greene & Greene Aug 2, 2009
The brothers faded into obscurity partly because so many copied their distinctly Californian take on the American Arts and Crafts style that their work was lost in a sea of likenesses, and partly because Modernism stormed in with its boxes made of steel and glass, shouting down the warm romanticism of its predecessors. By 1947, pieces from one of Greene & Greene s masterpieces, the Robert R. Blacker House in Pasadena, were sold off at a yard sale. (Boston Globe)
Peter Schjeldahl: From the sixties, in Amsterdam. Jul 27, 2009
Early Conceptualism can easily be considered a last gasp of Romanticism: the exemplary wanderers in wilds of geographic and imaginary space. The effect is less one of attitudes becoming form than one of form becoming attitudes of heroic initiative. (New Yorker)
* [ART JOURNAL] Acts of devotion Jul 22, 2009
It is conceptually clever, but more than that it exudes actual feeling; as if this modern painter in cool, hip, Manhattan had some real empathy with the solitary and secretive genius of 19th-century romanticism and had found a way to unlock him. Still, this is not a very high yield from a 20-year survey. (Taipei Times, Taiwan -- World Business)

'Viva Mexico!' shows how Edward Weston was transformed Jun 5, 2009
And while his innate romanticism remained intact ("I have seen faces," he wrote of Mexico in his "Daybooks," "the most sensitive, tender faces the Gods could possibly create, and I have seen faces to freeze one's blood, so cruel, so savage, so capable of any crime"), his Mexican experience tempered and focused that romanticism. Still a slave to beauty (what artist isn't. (Boston Globe)
Saturday's TV: New Tricks May 28, 2009
Of course, the downside to delving into the lives of artists is you learn firsthand how their art was developed, often destroying any romanticism in the same breath. For example, some of Weston's most evocative nudes evolved from Charis deciding on the spur of the moment to throw herself naked down a sand dune. (Sydney Morning Herald -- Entertainment)
* [CLASSICAL CD REVIEWS] May 6, 2009
If you associate Schoenberg only with the often dissonant and abrasive 12-tone system he took to in his later years, listen to this, a massive piece of late Romanticism that took audiences by storm in the Vienna of 1913. Its essentially an oratorio telling the legendary story of the love of King Waldemar IV of Denmark for the young girl Tovelille (little dove) who he visits secretly in her castle at Gurre (hence the title Songs of Gurre).

'These Days' exhibit at MASS MoCA is full of mournful reflections Apr 18, 2009
In spirit, "These Days" relates most closely to the mood of late Romanticism. The artist is seen as a sort of mournful outside observer of various catastrophes, his or her capacity for poetic expression providing but a fragile bulwark against the great debacle at large. (Boston Globe)

Book Reviews: 'The Future of Liberalism' and 'A Tolerable Anarchy' Mar 27, 2009
Having rejected Rousseau's nature in favor of Kant's culture (what Mr. Wolfe calls "artifice") as the basis of liberal thought, he then points out that both Calvinism (or fundamentalist Christianity) and modern evolutionary theory (atheistic Darwinism) are predestinarian enemies of liberal self-determination; that neither socialism nor the ruthless markets of Friedrich Hayek and Milton Friedman guarantee any degree of equality of opportunity; that militarism's roots in Romanticism produce...
