FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear Four Arts members and friends, You may have noticed that The Society now publishes slim, pocket-sized monthly program brochures, organized chronologically, to supplement for you our main Season Programs catalogue. This has encouraged us to enrich the Folio with some short articles that make it more magazine-like. You will find in the following pages a short essay on paintings from the collection of Michel Witmer by Rebecca A. Dunham, discussions of the concert program by Wu Han (our esteemed Lincoln Center consultant for classical music), of our film program by trustee Diana Barrett, and of the splendid American Impressionism show by David Darby, and an excursus by myself on a littleknown British art avantgarde.

The Four Arts continues to stay open for business and it is a joy to report a lengthening sequence of wonderful and successful programs in the first weeks of the Season, whether live performances, Campus on the Lake lectures and classes, or O’Keeffe Speakers. I will mention one in particular — surely a first for The Four Arts: gorgeous and uplifting ballroom dancing on February 2, promoted by our trustees Lydia and Robert Forbes. The program, “A Journey Through the World of Ballroom Dancing,” can be viewed online at fourarts.org, along with additional program offerings.

Bank of America has both loaned and sponsored our Spring exhibition of paintings titled In a New Light: American Impressionism 1870-1940. We are enormously grateful for this. Please spread the word to all your friends so that they do not miss the privilege of seeing the exhibition.

Finally on an upbeat note, please know that, in order better to serve our Library members, our belovèd King Library now opens each morning Monday through Saturday at 9 a.m.

Yours sincerely,

Philip Rylands

FINE ARTS

Special collection now on display includes Warhol, Grandma Moses

Andy Warhol (American, 1928–1987), Lamentation, from the series Martha Graham, 1986, original unique screenprint with hand-coloring on Lenox Museum Board

The Society of the Four Arts thanks Michel Witmer, Chairman of the Fine Arts Committee, for loaning six works on display in the Esther B. O’Keeffe Building corridor between the art galleries and the Walter S. Gubelmann Auditorium. Collectively, they represent the breadth of American visual arts and complement this season’s focus on American art in the exhibitions A Beautiful Mess: Weavers & Knotters of the Vanguard and In a New Light: American Impressionism 18701940.

The oldest work in the collection is Paetus and Arria (1770) by Benjamin West (1738-1820), one of the most acclaimed artists of his day.

West was born into a Quaker household in Pennsylvania. Growing up, he showed a talent for painting and at the age of 21 traveled to Europe. On his way home to America, West stopped in London and met with enough success to remain there the rest of his life, earning an international reputation as a Neoclassical painter of historical subjects. He became a founder and one of the charter members of the Royal Academy, and King George III appointed him historical painter to the Royal court in 1772.

West trained generations of American artists who traveled to England, bringing West’s style and technique back to the United States, providing a foundation for the growth of American art in the

Maximillien Luce (French, 18581941) lived in Paris, where he became acquainted with Camille Pissarro, Georges Seurat, and Paul Signac, and adopted their Pointillist style, quickly becoming one of the leaders of the NeoImpressionist movement. He became a highly respected painter whose work was admired by the numerous American artists who came to Paris for training.

Le Percement de la Rue Reaumur (1906-8) depicts the Rue Reaumur, which runs through Paris’ second and third arrondissements. The street offers a glimpse of the new urban architecture that emerged in Paris at the beginning of the 20th century.

Anna Mary Robertson Moses, more commonly known as Grandma Moses (1860-1961), was

a self-taught American painter.

Grandma Moses did not start painting until she was 77 years old when arthritis made embroidering difficult.

Building a Barn (1951) depicts a nostalgic scene of American life on farms in rural New York and Virginia. Her style is characterized by flat patterns resembling textiles and bright color schemes. Today, her paintings are in the collections of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Phillips Collection in Washington, D.C., and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, among many others.

Andy Warhol (1928-1987) is synonymous with celebrity culture and mass consumerism associated with New York City life in the Post World War II era.

He combined the screenprint technique with hand-painting, elevating the commercial printing technique to fine art. Warhol’s career was also defined by his portrayal of famous individuals across disciplines.

Lamentation, from the series Martha Graham (1986), showcases the physical and emotional depth of Graham’s dance technique, which was characterized by her ability to create movements based upon the expressive capacity of the human body. This work was the one in the series that Martha Graham chose and hung in her New York City living room.

Two works from Moonwalk (1987) encapsulate one of the most important moments of the 20th century. Taking Neil Armstrong’s photograph of Buzz Aldrin walking on the moon in 1969 during the Apollo 11 mission, Warhol turns this historic event into a Pop Art masterpiece.

The works were intended to be part of a larger series titled TV that would include other key moments from American history. However, Warhol’s untimely death from surgery complications meant that Moonwalk was the only part of the series that was completed, making this an extremely rare work in his oeuvre. ― Rebecca A. Dunham

Paetus and Arria, which is based on an account described in Pliny the Younger’s letters, exemplifies this tradition.

In a New Light American Impressionism 1870-1940 | Works from the Bank of America Collection FINE ARTS

Don’t miss In a New Light: American Impressionism 1870-1940, Works from the Bank of America Collection, now on display through Saturday, April 16.

This sweeping survey of American Impressionism features paintings, prints, and drawings from acclaimed artists such as George Inness, Childe Hassam, Thomas Moran, John Sloan, Ernest Lawson, Daniel Garber, and Guy Carleton Wiggins, among many others. There are 135 works by 90 artists.

“There are some famous Impressionists in this show,” said Rebecca A. Dunham, The Society of the Four Arts’ head of fine arts and curator. “However, there are also a lot of lesser-known artists who were key figures in American Impressionism but not in a national, household-name kind of way. This exhibition wisely puts these two categories of artists together.”

In a New Light reflects the changing mindset of America from the mid-19th to early 20th centuries.

The exhibition is organized by regional art colonies crucial to the American Impressionist movement, from the Northeast to the Midwest and the American West. A tranquil place for artists to share ideas and resources, these collaborative enclaves were often established in rural areas of great natural beauty, yet not far from growing urban centers.

“This exhibition highlights where these artists lived and worked,” Dunham said. “You get a sense for each geographic region, the unique subject matter that was popular there. You also can see the small variations in how the artists were adopting Impressionism and the stylistic devices for which the Impressionists were known.”

Local artists interpreted America’s rural, maritime, and urban spaces and portrayed daily life using the Impressionistic devices of capturing moments with brisk brushstrokes, a vibrant palette, and atmospheric effects.

“How they applied paint to the canvas, their interest in light and in painting ‘en plein air,’ being outdoors directly in front of that subject matter and capturing it in the exact moment it happened,” said Dunham. “A lot of the colonies’ locations were in areas where the artists could take advantage of beautiful vistas and

make them the subject of landscapes.”

In a New Light has been loaned through the Bank of America Art in our Communities® program and is presented in partnership with Bank of America. Bank of America debit and credit card holders are eligible for free admission on March 5-6 and April 2-3.

“We are excited at the opportunity to partner with The Four Arts to bring this incredible exhibition as part of our Arts in our Communities program that loans exhibitions at no cost to nonprofit community museums” said Fabiola Brumley, President, Bank of America Palm Beach County. “We recognize that the arts matter as both a cultural and economic driver to our local community. Palm Beach County has a tremendous arts and culture landscape, and we encourage everyone to visit and experience it.”

Impressionism began later in the United States than in France, not taking shape until after the Civil War. The movement originated on the East Coast and spread westward and remained popular in the American West longer than in other parts of the country. In a New Light traces the emergence and evolution of this truly American style and provides historical context for American Impressionism by positioning it between the Hudson River School and the modernist trends in later pieces on view.

Curator lecture: Jennifer S. Brown, Art Program Curator at Bank of America Monday, April 4, 2022 at 11 a.m.

No charge ■ Reservations required Dixon Education Building Hear Bank of America curator Jennifer S. Brown, Ph.D., discuss the dissemination of Impressionism from its French roots into the American idiom and how Impressionism led to a reinterpretation of American landscape painting. She will also explore the regional art colonies that played a role in the development of American Impressionism.

“The Bank of America curators have provided great context and a visual timeline with works in the style and movements that were popular before and after Impressionism, placing it in the timeline of American art,” Dunham said. “Impressionism was popular at different times in these art colonies, centers, and regions. This show really highlights the distinct nature of what is Impressionism in America, an art form that was popular across the nation, but with different styles and approaches.” ― David Darby

Concert Pianists

PERFORMING ARTS

Visionary interpretations and unique compositional gifts have garnered Gabriela Montero (March 16) critical acclaim and a devoted following on the world stage. “Montero’s playing had everything: crackling rhythmic brio, subtle shadings, steely power” (New York Times).

She will make her Four Arts debut one night after performing at Carnegie Hall.

Enjoy her “Innocence and Experience” program featuring works from Schumann and Shostakovich along with Montero’s own riveting improvisations.

“I love the way Montero combines being a high-level concert pianist with an uncanny ability to improvise,” said Sofia Maduro, Four Arts director of programming. “Her improvisations are huge crowd pleasers that enhance her abilities as a great pianist.”

Joshua Rifkin, whose classic recordings spearheaded the revival of Scott Joplin and ragtime, has performed the music of this essential African American composer to acclaim and enthusiasm throughout the world. In his Four Arts debut April 10, he brings Joplin into dialogue with his great Brazilian counterpart, the tango master Ernesto Nazareth. North and south, the music enchants, delights, and stirs the emotions.

Prior to the live performance, attend Rifkin’s Campus lecture, “Genuine Negro Ragtime: Scott Joplin’s African-American Identity,” on April 6 at 3 p.m.

“Rifkin helped popularize ragtime and Scott Joplin,” Maduro said. “His recordings are famous, and inspired the use of Joplin’s music in the film The Sting. His lecture will discuss the rhythms of North America and Brazil, the fusion, richness and diversity of where this musical form emerged.”

Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center Enjoy two performances curated by pianist Wu Han, the Four Arts’ artistic advisor for classic music and co-director of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. She writes: “This March, audiences at The Society of the Four Arts will have an opportunity to hear two very special programs that are specifically designed for them. This design was conceived during the pandemic lockdown: borders were closed, and international travel was limited to essential workers. I was missing Europe so much and imagined our audience in the same position, so I thought it would be fun for us to listen to two programs that are built on two major capitals of Europe: Vienna and Paris.

PERFORMING ARTS

“Virtually without exception, artists throughout history have flocked to the world’s cultural metropolises. Whether in search of inspiration, fame, connections, or the simple intellectual camaraderie that is a phenomenon of the legendary cafés, creative thinkers have been drawn to these cities. The first program, titled Stars of Vienna (March 23), explores the environment upon which Mozart, Beethoven, and Brahms fed and which allowed these geniuses to produce arguably the greatest music ever composed.

“The second program, An American in Paris (March 27), features the intense cultural influences of French music on that of the United States, and vice versa. The composers Gottschalk, Copland, George Walker and Gershwin all visited Paris to gain guidance from influential institutions such the Paris Conservatory and important figures such as composer Maurice Ravel and teacher Nadja Boulanger. Darius Milhaud visited the United States and was inspired by American Jazz. You will hear beautiful music by the young sister of Nadja Boulanger, Lili, the first woman composer who won the prestigious Rome prize, and died at the young age of 24.

Gershwin’s iconic “American in Paris” was not only played by orchestra, or choreographed by Gene Kelly, but also performed in this rarely heard original arrangement for two pianos.

“I hope these programs transport you to these two great cities. There is so much to explore and so much to learn, and we’re so excited to share these great works and fascinating programs with you.” ― Wu Han

String Quartets Since its debut in 2002 at the Copenhagen Festival, the Danish String Quartet (March 30) has become one of the most sought-after quartets in the world. The ensemble is celebrated for its musical spontaneity, giving audiences the sense of hearing even treasured canon repertoire as if for the first time, and exuding a palpable joy in music-making.

The quartet will perform a program featuring Schubert’s String Quartet in D minor, D. 810 “Death and the Maiden” and signature arrangements of folk music from their Scandinavian homelands.

PERFORMING ARTS

Hailed as “the future of chamber music” (Strings), veteran string quartet Brooklyn Rider (March 20) presents eclectic repertoire and gripping performances that draw rave reviews from classical, world, and rock critics alike. The quartet performs with mandolinist Avi Avital, who previously appeared at the Four Arts in 2020.

The first mandolin soloist to be nominated for a classical Grammy, Avital is a driving force behind the reinvigoration of the mandolin repertory.

Special Presentations Enjoy an afternoon of Haydn, Schubert, and Shostakovich from Trio con Brio Copenhagen (March 13), one of the finest trios in the world.

The trio, comprised of Korean-born sisters, SooKyung Hong (cello) and Soo-Jin Hong (violin), and Soo-Kyung’s husband, Danish pianist Jens Elvekjaer, has won over audiences worldwide with its fresh and contemporary approach.

The live performance season concludes with our annual bluegrass concert. An Afternoon with Dailey & Vincent (April 24) features a concoction of traditional country, gospel and bluegrass blended with the fantastically instinctive vocal blends of Dailey’s tenor and Vincent’s reedy harmonies.

Spring Spotlight

Saturday, April 2, 2022 at 1 p.m.

Charles Perrault’s 1697 fairy tale, the classic telling of the Cinderella story, is an excellent source for an opera — providing color, romance, and relatable themes for audiences of all ages. When Jules Massenet approached the fable in the 1890s, his orchestral colors and musical finesse were excellent vehicles for depicting the process of transformation.

The opera includes the pageantry and glowing musical nostalgia for the French Baroque in KEN HOWARD / Met Opera the court scenes to the otherworldliness of the love music to the wit and humor that permeate the work as a whole.

Mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard stars as the rags-to-riches princess. Maestro Emmanuel Villaume leads a delightful cast, which includes mezzo-soprano Emily D’Angelo as Cinderella’s Prince Charming, soprano Jessica Pratt as her Fairy Godmother, and mezzo-soprano Stephanie Blythe and bass-baritone Laurent Naouri as her feuding guardians.

It’s the story you know sung in English, the perfect introduction for Opera to children and newcomers and a delightful change of pace for Opera lovers.

In Brooklyn, longshoreman Eddie Carbone (Mark Strong, Sherlock Holmes, The Imitation Game) welcomes his Sicilian cousins to the land of freedom. But when one of them falls for his beautiful niece, they discover freedom comes at a price. The Young Vic’s electrifying production of Arthur Miller’s tragic masterpiece won a trio of 2014 Olivier Awards.

It’s the greatest story ever painted. From the triumphant to the savage, the ethereal to the tactile, some of western civilization’s greatest artworks focus on the 2,000-year-old story of Christ’s death and resurrection. This beautifully crafted film explores the Easter story as depicted in art, from the time of the early Christians to the present day.

Star turns, documentaries, and second-run gems on screen PERFORMING ARTS

There’s still time this season to catch an outstanding film or documentary in the spacious Walter S. Gubelmann Auditorium. The Society of the Four Arts’ Friday Film Series has screenings at 2 and 5:30 p.m., unless noted differently, every Friday in March and April.

SHOWING IN MARCH

“It may come as a surprise that The Four Arts has been running a weekly film series for the past 50 years,” said Dr. Diana Barrett, chair of the Four Arts’ film committee. “We look for films with a strong cast and well-known directors and aim for a mixture of action-packed dramas and more personal films, with the goal of finding ‘gems’ that might not have been heavily advertised and promoted.”

Dr. Diana Barrett

Among the second-run gems this season are two actors making star turns in political dramas based on true stories.

March 11

Liam Neeson is the title character in Mark Felt: The Man Who Brought Down the White House (March 11). Felt is the most famous anonymous man in American History – the FBI second-in-command who was “Deep Throat” during the Watergate scandal.

Neeson, a two-time Tony Award nominee and one time Academy Award nominee (Schindler’s List), gives the audience a glimpse into the personal and professional life of a man who sacrificed his career, family, and freedom to bring what he knew to light.

View the Watergate scandal as we have never seen it before, from an extraordinary window into White House corruption and a government in turmoil.

Academy Award winner Rachel Weisz (The Constant Gardener) stars in Denial (April 1), based on the acclaimed book, History on Trial: My Day in Court with a Holocaust Denier. This film recounts Deborah E. Lipstadt’s (Weisz) legal battle for historical truth against David Irving (Timothy Spall), who accused her of libel when she declared him a Holocaust denier. In defamation cases under the English legal system, the burden of proof is on the accused, therefore it was up to Lipstadt and her legal team to prove the essential truth that the Holocaust occurred.

March 18

Barrett, who has been involved in the film world for 15 years, chairs the film committee, which includes Four Arts Trustee Shelly Gubelmann, Director of Programming Sofia Maduro, and President & CEO Philip Rylands.

“The process starts early in the fall, and we screen scores of films, choosing a short list that the committee strongly supports,” Barrett said. “We find the films through word of mouth, through critical reviews, and from film festivals. We try to present a range of

films, some feature films, some documentaries, and some art films.”

Told through the lives of a handful of colorful and resolute characters, from hucksters to politicians to unlikely activists, The Swamp explores the repeated efforts to transform what was seen as a vast and useless wasteland ― Florida’s Everglades ― into an agricultural and urban paradise.

Frank Gehry has transformed modern architecture from a conventional science into a sublime and majestic form of art, resulting in such contemporary masterpieces as the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles and the stunning Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain. Directed

by Academy Award-winner Sydney Pollack, Sketches of Frank Gehry looks inside the mind of the most acclaimed and controversial architect of the 21st century.

Also screening this spring, Annette Bening, Bill Nighy, and Josh O’Connor (The Crown) star in Hope Gap (April 22), an

intimate story charting the end of a long marriage and the ensuing emotional fallout their dissolution has on their only grown son.

A charming and ambitious art critic is summoned by a wealthy art dealer (Mick Jagger) to Lake Como and asked to steal a painting from a legendary reclusive artist (Donald Sutherland) in The Burnt Orange Heresy (March 18). A Noël Coward adaptation, Easy Virtue (April 8), features a battle of wits between a young Englishman, his mother, and the new glamorous American daughter-in-law. And

Moira Kelly stars as Dorothy Day in Entertaining Angels: The Dorothy Day Story (April 15), about a woman who dedicated herself in service to her socialist beliefs and her adopted faith of Catholicism, creating a movement that continues to thrive to this day, “The season is very much in full swing, and we urge you to attend,” Barrett said. “Screenings take place in a large auditorium with spaced seating and good acoustics. There are plenty of films yet to be screened this season, so you have a treat in store!”

VORTICISM ― a modern art movement you may not know

CAMPUS ON THE LAKE

In summer 1914, at the time of the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo and only weeks before Germany invaded Belgium, Origins of Modernism in Art with Philip Rylands, Ph.D. Vorticism blazed into existence in London. During the cataclysmic years of the Great War, its flames spluttered and eventually, in 1919, winked Mondays at 11 a.m. out. This Anglo-American response to French Cubism and Italian $25 per master class Futurism owed much to the energizing ego of the poet Ezra Pound (1885–1972), who gave the movement its name, to the leadership of the writer and painter Wyndham Lewis (1882–1957), and the philosophy and March 28: Vorticism criticism of T. E. Hulme (1883–1917). The Vorticists exhibited together April 11: Surrealism Part I in June 1915 at the Doré Galleries, London: they were Jessica Dismorr, April 25: Surrealism Part II Frederick Etchells, Henri Gaudier-Brzeska, Wyndham Lewis, William Roberts, Helen Saunders, and Edward Wadsworth. That same year the New York patron John Quinn Esq. began amassing a collection of Vorticist works under Pound’s guidance, and in January 1917 Quinn opened the only other Vorticist exhibition, at the Penguin Club in New York. In February 1917 the American expatriate and Vorticist ally Alvin Langdon Coburn showed his Vortographs — now celebrated as the first abstract photographs — at the Camera Club in London. These exhibitions were complemented by the group’s journal, BLAST (1914–15), which had a significant impact on avant-garde circles in London and New York. Two major avant-gardists, David Bomberg and the American expatriate Jacob Epstein (1880–1959), although they declined membership in the group, created paintings, sculptures, and drawings with clear affinities to Vorticist ideas and imagery.

Vorticism is a story of the acceptance and transformation of contemporary European art by young artists working in London. It belongs to the larger history, from 1910 on, of the reception of French Post-Impressionism, Henri Matisse and the Fauves, the Ballets Russes, Cubism, Futurism and Vasily Kandinsky in Britain. Vorticism was the most advanced and the most sharply characterized of the London-based avant-gardes, whether the Bloomsbury Group (Vanessa Bell, Duncan Grant, Roger Fry and the artists of the Omega Workshops), Augustus John (admired as a genius and the first British artist to be tagged a PostImpressionist), the Rhythmists (J. D. Fergusson, Anne Estelle Rice, and others), and the Camden Town Group led by Walter Sickert.

The faceted angularity of Vorticist figuration was Cubist in origin, but its similarity stopped there. The Cubist exploration of reconfigured form, with a Edward Wadsworth, Abstract narrow repertoire of subjects (the portrait, the disrobed seated model, or the Composition, 1915, gouache, gueridon with still-life clutter), had little to do with Hulme’s, Lewis’s, and Pound’s Tate Britain conviction that a new art signalled radical changes in the machine-based human condition. Vorticist paintings were contemporary with and sometimes more advanced than comparable abstract experiments in Europe by Robert Delaunay, Kandinsky, František Kupka, the Rayonists, Synchromists, and others. In 1914 the avant-garde art that was produced in London with the intellectual apparatus provided by Hulme, Lewis, and Pound, could hold its own against the Europeans—an unthinkable claim four years earlier.

Standing in the doorway are Jessica Dismorr and Helen Saunders. Joe, the waiter, and Rudolph Stulik, the proprietor of the restaurant from 1908-1937, are on the right. Saunders, Roberts and Etchells are holding pink volumes of the Vorticist review BLAST.)

Pound apparently used the term ‘Vorticist’ for the first time in April 1914. Interviewed in 1915 for the Russian journal Strelets, he defined the vortex as ‘that point in the cyclone where energy cuts into space and imparts form to it . . . the pattern of angles and geometric lines which is formed by our vortex in the existing chaos’. In the first issue of the Vorticists’ short-lived review, BLAST, he had written: ‘The vortex is the point of maximum energy. It represents, in mechanics, the greatest efficiency’. This degree of conceptual grounding in the spirit of a new age, comparable to but radically different from the Futurists’ campaign, distinguished Vorticism both from the elitist aestheticism of Bloomsbury and from the lowermiddle-class realism of the Camden Town painters.

The years prior had witnessed the rise of the welfare state and of organized labour, of severe industrial unrest, and of vexed political questions such as Suffragettism and Home Rule for Ireland. It was against this background that British artists came to terms with the avant-gardes in Europe. Vorticism, in the field of painting, sculpture, and even literature, was the modern movement that more than any other expressed the changing social, economic, and material conditions of life in late Edwardian and early Georgian England.* *This is extracted from: Philip Rylands, introductory essay for the catalogue of the exhibition The Vorticists.

However, by July 1915, the ‘vortex’—the concentration of energies in London—was no longer working.

Lewis was struggling with debt (including moneys owed in the wake of BLAST’s failure to sell) and busy painting, writing, and inventorying his work in advance of enlisting for the war, which he did in March 1916. Gaudier-Brezska, Roberts, and Wadsworth also signed up for military service. Art came to a halt in London, and the frenetic cultural politics that had galvanized it since 1910 were out of place by the spring of 1915 when it became clear that the war was not going to end swiftly, that it was not to be a traditional war of manoeuvring armies on the offensive, but a stalemate of lines of defence—a drama brought home by Gaudier-Brzeska’s death, aged twenty-three, at the front. When Lewis returned from duty as a Canadian Corps War Artist in 1919, he no longer had an appetite for group activities. Despite Pound’s efforts, the dissipation of Vorticism’s energy was intrinsic to its incendiary character, with Lewis as the fuse and the dynamite. Vorticism was a victim of the Great War.

Bright, attractive and well-connected, in any other family the Churchill girls ― Diana, Sarah, Marigold and Mary ― would have shone. But they were Churchills, and neither they nor anyone else could ever forget it. From their father ― ‘the greatest Englishman’ ― to their brother, golden boy Randolph, to their exciting cousins, the Mitford Girls, they were surrounded by a clan of larger-than-life characters. Drawing on previously unpublished family letters from the Churchill archives, this biography tells the complex story of Winston and Clementine Churchill’s daughters, bringing them out of the shadows.

The Reading List

All of the Marvels

This novel is an unforgettable, heart-warming debut about how a chance encounter with a list of library books helps forge an unlikely friendship between a widower and an anxious teenager working in a local library in a London suburb. Slowly, the shared books create a connection between two lonely souls, as fiction helps them escape their grief and everyday troubles and find joy again.

Take an exciting journey through the Marvel comic-book narrative.

The storylines become a funhouse-mirror history of the past 60 years, from the atomic night terrors of the Cold War to the technocracy and political division of the present day — a boisterous, tragicomic epic about power and ethics, set in a world transformed by wonders.
