A virtual tour of thirty-five landmark houses, 1947-1966, built in a quiet New England community.Since the fifties, "the Harvard Five" has been the catchphrase for the five architects featured in this book, who all built houses for themselves and for clients in New Canaan, Connecticut. Other architects, well known (Frank Lloyd Wright, for example) and not so well known, also contributed significant modern houses that elicited strong reactions from nearly everyone who saw them and are still astonishing today. An introductory essay by Jean Ely, "New Canaan Modern" (reprinted by permission of the New Canaan Historical Society), recounts the history of the area and how New Canaan came to be the locus of the modern movement's experimentation in materials, construction methods, space, and form. The book is done as a "house tour" in chronological order, with photographs and floor plans. 50 color, 50 black & white illustrations

"Behind the veil of a myth" considers the most significant moments of the creative process of Cuban printmaker Belkis Ayón (Havana, 1967- 1999) following a virtual tour of the exhibit "Nkame. A Retrospective of the Cuban Printmaker Belkis Ayón", showed in Cuba for the first time in September 2009 and traveling several museums in the United States since 2016. Based on the study of Belkis Ayón's work by curator Cristina Vives, as well as on parts of an interview with the artist, and extensively illustrated with the 48 pieces that make up the exhibition among others, "Behind the veil of a myth" offers a description of Belkis's creative life and the main motivations that led her to an investigation that totally absorbed her short but intense artistic life: The Abakuá religion and secret society. Her work evolved from a stage of "representation" of the myth during her years as an art student, to a later mature artistic moment in which the myth served as a vehicle for the post-modern travesty which characterized young Cuban artists in the 1990's, after the collapse of European socialism. Belkis's monumental collographs were pioneer in the country and worldwide, and provided the Abakuá legend with an overpowering iconography it did not have previously. "Behind the veil of a myth" is an approach that interconnects the artist to the Cuban and international context, and to the unmistakable signals of the present and the universality that her work communicates from its deep social and liberating vocation.
