Relax now with Al Lewis. To say that Al Lewis is a very young artist with enormous potential seems pretentious. Certainly, he is young, and certainly age will render better works—but his work right now is more than what many others may ever achieve. His command of the canvas is startling. He may not be ready to look his subjects straight in the eye, but he’s already captured glimpses into their souls. He’s traversed the bogs of Wuthering Heights and mapped them and moved on and put Bronte in her rightful place of sophomoric shame. He’s borrowed the palettes of Munch with precocious mimicry and metered reverence.We don't know if we are talking here in a truly metaphorical way or there is an explicit homage to Emily Brontë's novel. You can find pictures of the exhibition and samples of Al Lewis' work in his webpage.
There must be countless works of fiction from the 20th, or even the 21st, century that offer inspiration and consolation to women readers, inspiration and consolation more satisfying than the prospect of a Darcy or, God help us, a Heathcliff. So - what should be on that reading list?We found rather disturbing that one of the replies recommends Wide Sargasso Sea.
'The Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys puts the mad wife's point of view and shows Mr Rochester to be an unsympathetic git. Always cheering. (stig)Cheering, indeed.
