This book looks at the work of twenty-six European painters working this century, from modern masters to contemporary artists. The emphasis is on individual paintings rather than the artists themselves, and the works illustrated exemplify what the author considers to be the central purpose of painting: to make reality visible by presenting objects, figures and spaces on a canvas. The challenge for twentieth-century painters is to acknowledge the framework set up by the history of painting, but to work in ways which will validate the painter's own vision for the time in which he lives.

<p>As outspoken in his day as Richard Dawkins or Christopher Hitchens are today, American freethinker and author ROBERT GREEN INGERSOLL (1833-1899) was a notorious radical whose uncompromising views on religion and slavery (they were bad, in his opinion), women's suffrage (a good idea, he believed), and other contentious matters of his era made him a wildly popular orator and critic of 19th-century American culture and public life. As a speaker dedicated to expanding intellectual horizons and celebrating the value of skepticism, Ingersoll spoke frequently on such topics as atheism, freedom from the pressures of conformity, and the lives of philosophers who espoused such concepts. This collection of his most famous speeches includes the lectures: [ "The Gods" (1872) [ "Humboldt" (1869) [ "Thomas Paine" (1870) [ "Individuality" (1873) [ "Heretics and Heresies" (1874)</p>
