NEVERLAND

J.M. Barrie, the Du Mauriers,

and the Dark Side of "Peter Pan"

By Piers Dudgeon

Pegasus. 333 pp. $26.95

There might be scarier books this Halloween season, but it's unlikely that any will be as luridly creepy as "Neverland." Even if you already know a little about the sinister background of J.M. Barrie's classic play, "Peter Pan," you will be in for a shock. In these pages Piers Dudgeon presents a multi-generational history of psychological domination and submission, unnatural family relations, predatory abuse and suicide.

He also connects three great works of the popular imagination: George du Maurier's late-19th-century bestseller "Trilby" -- the novel in which the evil Svengali, through hypnosis, transforms a beautiful tone-deaf girl into a singing sensation but in the process destroys her soul; J.M. Barrie's death-haunted "Peter Pan," once titled "The Boy Who Hated Mothers"; and Daphne du Maurier's Gothic romance about spiritual possession, "Rebecca."

Papo no ônibus com Cartier-Bresson

The day I chatted with Cartier-Bresson on the bus

(Jonathan Jones, no The Guardian).

"I'm currently working on a Guardian project about photography, and one of the photographers I had to write about this week was Henri Cartier-Bresson. Looking over the images that this co-founder of Magnum and master of the passing moment had produced in his long lifetime, I found myself thinking two things. First, that he was one of the great modern French artists, whose photographs you can set alongside thepaintings of Pissarro. And second, I remember the day I talked to him on the bus, in Hackney.Well, he wasn't actually on the bus with me. I was interviewing him for a feature and had given him my mobile number. So one of the great artists of the 20th century phoned me when I happened to be on the 55 bus rumbling along Mare Street in east London.Cartier-Bresson wanted to talk because he was outraged that theheirs of Picasso were giving permission to put the master's name on a car. APicasso car was an obscenity, thought Cartier-Bresson, a commercial mockery of art. So he told me as I frantically took notes.He also sent a fax, stating his anger in his own handwriting. On it was his address – he lived on the Rue de Rivoli, next door to the Louvre. Not quite Mare Street after all.Now, looking at this great artist's photographs, I feel a thrill to have chatted with a genius on the bus. As time goes by, art finds its place. Cartier-Bresson's has found a lofty level; he absolutely had the right to speak out on behalf of Picasso, in whose company he belongs."

DOROTHEA LANGE SEM CENSURA

O New York Times traz consistente resenha sobre a nova biografia da DOROTHEA LANGE, a grande fotógrafa da depressão e da FSA - Farm Security Administration, falecida em 1965. Mesmo as fotos dos campos de internação dos americanos de origem japonesa, censuradas à época, são reproduzidas e comentadas. Possivelmente a biografia definitiva da fotógrafa, analisando todo o ambiente dos anos 30 a partir de sua vida.

DOROTHEA LANGE A Life Beyond Limits By Linda Gordon Illustrated. 536 pp.W. W. Norton & Company. $35

FOX TALBOT VEM AÍ

Um dos lançamentos mais importantes do ano vai ser a reedição, pela Chicago University Press, da obra pioneira de Fox Talbot, The Pencil of Nature, numa primorosa edição que vai custar US$ 150. Trata-se de obra fundamental na história da fotografia. Os editores já estão aceitando reservas. Originalmente publicado como série entre 1844 e 1846, foi o primeiro livro inteiramente ilustrado com fotografias. À época, um desastre comercial, que obrigou Talbot a interromper a publicação.
