The pots do not, it is argued, show the plays as such, but gain depth and complexity from recalling the tragic vision of particular stage versions, including those of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and, above all, Euripides. Of some 300 relevant vases, 109 are reproduced and accompanied by a picture-by-picture discussion. Nearly half of these were discovered since 1970, and most have not been thoroughly discussed in relation to tragedy before. The vases are organized by playwright and by the tragedy invoked.

Through light and shadow, Hervé defined the dialogue between substance and form. By delineating a strong contrast between light and shadow as well as placing emphasis on building details, the photographer was able to communicate the depth of a room, the surface of a wall, or the strength of a building's framework.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor too long, Hervé—the master of architectural photography—has eclipsed Hervé—the photographer—whose career began as early as 1938 and whose subject matter varied widely.

As in the provocative yet hauntingly beautiful \u003ci\u003ePortrait of Jeanne Kéfer\u003c\/i\u003e, which is the focus of this book, he frequently posed his models leaning against a closed door, flattening the space and resulting in a meditative, hermetically sealed image. Jeanne Kéfer was the daughter of a composer friend of the artist, and Khnopff deftly captured the child's vulnerability to the outside world in the small gesture of her tiny thumb catching the edge of her bow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book places this painting in the historical context of Khnopff's times and social milieu, such as the advent of symbolism as a literary and artistic movement and the influence of James McNeill Whistler.

His passionate yet detailed inquiry investigates the idea of beauty over time and space, offering a chronological and descriptive account whose conceptual and historical paradigms have been reiterated and contested into the twentieth century.
