Mercure de France was published in Paris. Text in French.The Mercure de France issue contains a chapter, "Spectacles – Concert Spirituel" (pp. 38-42), in which the first Parisian appearance of violinist "M. Bridge-Tower", who is described as "not even ten years old," is reviewed favorably. Bridgetower aroused interest not only because of his skill as a violinist but also because he had an African father. He is here described as "jeune Nègre des Colonies." In 1803, he became the original dedicatee of Beethoven's "Kreutzer" sonata, which he premiered together with the composer. Beethoven later re-dedicated the sonata to Rodolphe Kreutzer.The French gazette and literary journal was first published from 1672 to 1724 (with an interruption in 1674–1677) under the title Mercure galant (sometimes spelled Mercure gallant; 1672–1674) and Nouveau… Read More

His art—particularly in its worked and layered surfaces weathered by time and nature—is a visceral and poetic consideration of the past as a means to understand our collective present and, by implication, our future. His monumental series of works, both in sculpture and paint, Morgenthau Plan reference a plan, devised by U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau during World War II, to destroy Germany's factories and turn the country into farmland after the Allied victory. In these works, Kiefer imagined this pastoral outcome, with postwar Germany… Read More
