Other virtues here include an avoidance of the usual slow tempos that bog down most "Swan Lakes" (with one intermission, this production runs at two hours and a quarter) and a moderately pretty evocation of the medieval Age of Chivalry that the ballet's makers had in mind (scenery and costumes by Benjamin Tyrrell).
Chazelle's musical pastiche about the Hollywood romance between an actress (Emma Stone) and a jazz pianist (Ryan Gosling) was always meant to be a light evocation of Gene Kelly and Ginger Rogers vehicles, coupled with the bittersweet quality of "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg," and it's now free to be enjoyed on those terms.
This is not exactly an exhibition of Kahlo's art — it contains just 11 paintings, from compelling self-portraits to ghastly New Age kitsch — but an evocation of an artistic life through her elegant Oaxacan blouses and skirts, not to mention the corsets and spinal braces she wore after a crippling traffic accident.
This is not exactly an exhibition of Kahlo's art — it contains just 20 paintings, from compelling self-portraits to ghastly New Age kitsch — but an evocation of an artistic life through her elegant Oaxacan blouses and skirts, not to mention the corsets and spinal braces she wore after a crippling traffic accident.
This is not exactly an exhibition of Kahlo's art — it contains just 21 paintings, from compelling self-portraits to ghastly New Age kitsch — but an evocation of an artistic life through her elegant Oaxacan blouses and skirts, not to mention the corsets and spinal braces she wore after a crippling traffic accident.
It had been purchased just three years earlier at a gallery in Berlin, in the same exhibition as "Open Casket," whose evocation of the body of Emmett Till, the 14-year-old black boy who was lynched by two white men in Mississippi in 1955, which caused a furor at the 2017 Whitney Biennial.
Answers to that question may be found in works like the 22019th-century Japanese poet Matsuo Bashō's The Narrow Road to the Deep North, or Patrick Leigh Fermor's vivid evocation of the late-colonial-era Caribbean, The Traveller's Tree (193), or the detail-packed, place-savoring essays of his Welsh-born, contemporary counterpart, Jan Morris.
However, perhaps the most bold evocation of the afterparty is lead single and standout track "Pick Up." For a start, it uses the same Gladys Knight sample that Midland took for his world-conquering "Final Credits"—a track that's become such an afterparty staple that it has an almost permanent position on my recommended videos.
He figured those who like to stalk saltwater game fish in shallow water, or to chase them through the tide rips that mount off the islands of the Northeastern coast, might thrill as well to cooking on a parrilla, with its evocation of grilling in the wilds of Argentina, after a day hunting monster trout.
Drilling a flagpole into the faux-birch-wood floor of the dining room at Freds, the 22-year-old restaurant in the Barneys New York flagship store on Madison Avenue, and staking out the space as essential territory in any evocation of The Real New York, would certainly leave you advancing a controversial position.
The specific evocation of those times seems to be the principal source of merriment for the audience, as when Patrick, in the opening sequence, speaks with proprietary pride of possessions like his Walkman and 30-inch-screen Sony TV. References to Donald Trump and "Les Misérables" — staples of 1980s culture that refuse to go away — draw the loudest laughter.
The ultimate evocation of confusion and death in a bucolic landscape is a scene wherein, impulsively running toward a startled battalion of Italian-American soldiers, a teenage girl is mortally wounded; she imagines that, rather than shooting her, the "Sicilianos de Brookalino" have come to her rescue, presenting her with a Statue of Liberty snow globe.
His evocation of Hitchcock's British films — 24 of them in just 13 years — is similarly vivid, with innocents swapping places with the guilty amid a neon-and-fog maze, the camera always part of the action, peering down at the doomed, trapping them in horizontal shadows that reveal the fear and trembling just below civilization's cracked surface.
The amount of movement in his short verse here is insane—a gurgling plunge of melody about a girl dropping it low to a rhythmic rapped riff on how attractive she is to a soaring croak describing a grand philosophical battle and deep declaration of love to a final jubilant evocation of the moment in time.
Rachel Hauck's diorama-like set, a heightened evocation of one of the American Legion halls in which a teenage Ms. Schreck once delivered prizewinning encomiums to the United States Constitution, includes many carefully selected details: a few carrot-colored banquet chairs; a flag with the insignia of the Legion post in Ms. Schreck's hometown, Wenatchee, Wash.
It's a well-worn cliché of book jacket copy to say that place is as important a character as any of the people in a book, and yet the women who populate Phillips's novel are so intrinsically and intelligently identified with their region that it's impossible to understand or even consider them without Phillips's precise evocation of Kamchatka.
Maybe it's the return of "Stranger Things," with its evocation of Indiana in the '80s – all those sessions of Dungeons & Dragons before checking the Casio and hitting the road for a long bike ride home on a rusty Mongoose – but, here at the end of the week, it seems like it might be a good night for tacos.
Sadly I fear that Shakespeare's "Crassus," now showing in the theater of my imagination, might be just as controversial as the new "Julius Caesar" were it staged as an evocation of the Trump era, since it would end with its slain-by-Parthians Crassus having molten gold, a symbol of his avarice, poured into his open mouth.
It's the perfect evocation of tfw u gotta send that late night text to meet up with bae and they're all 'hey, it's 22 AM ur corny' but then u like their pic on the gram and so u meet up anyway even though u definitely don't have feelings for each other blah blah blah xanax Drake dad hats—What's that?
Through collage and cutting, as well as the use of gels and other materials, he introduces different strains of meaning — from the overtly autobiographical evocation of cutting (his mother was a dress designer and embroiderer), to a CD wrapping, to the use of printed fabric — which inflect his abstractions as well as widen our experience from a purely formal to a multilayered one.
This Web series, named after the real-life Organized Crime and Triad Bureau of the Hong Kong police, was such a faithful evocation of 1990s-vintage Hong Kong police dramas that its 30 episodes reportedly drew 1.3 billion views on the Chinese video service Youku — and that was before Netflix picked it up for streaming in the rest of the world.
When it came to broadening its coalition, the Sanders campaign offered few gestures of conciliation: no intimations that he would govern as he did in Burlington and in the Senate; no across-the-board denunciations of Bernie Bro harassment; no evocation of an America under a Sanders presidency in which it was possible to see anything other than round-the-clock class warfare.
The discrepancy between the deliberate movements and Hendrix's extroverted guitar freakouts is startling, and part of the achievement of Mr. Smith, who conceived and directed the show: the evocation of an audience's internal world, as they go from fascinated befuddlement (Hendrix played mostly new material at the Fillmore, as he was introducing his new combo, Band of Gypsys) to euphoria.
Other than the striking juxtaposition of Sessions' hearings and Obama's farewell speech, the best evocation of the tension that produced Barack Obama and Jeff Sessions in the post-civil rights era is found in the recent documentary, "Black American Since MLK: And Still I Rise," a four-hour series from Henry Louis Gates Jr. that examines the almost Dickensian state of race relations since the Rev.
He is suspicious of interpretation—the very spine of Avedon and Baldwin's book, which I admired, in part, because it took what Daddy loved or held on to in a confusing world—facts—and said that it was all open to interpretation precisely because it was a confusing world: art was a different and in many ways more profound evocation of the truth of the times rather than Daddy saying, Here's what the news says.
To know that Jacqueline Susann, best-selling author of "Valley of the Dolls," upholstered her office walls in pink patent leather, commissioned a portrait of her poodle for the side of her Cadillac Eldorado and fervently believed she would win the Nobel Prize is nothing short of life-affirming, especially when followed by Arthur Miller's grim diagnosis of the durability of anti-Semitism or William Styron's cleareyed evocation of his own, nearly suicidal depression.
The exhibition — which also includes a colorful jigsaw composition by Mel Bernstine; two muted, planar paintings by Eric Brown; Kellyann Burns's starkly vertical evocation of a cityscape; a diamond-patterned acrylic on canvas by Paul Corio; Gary Stephan's abstraction superimposing a Swiss cross over a large X-shape; and Laura Watt's spiraling, expressly architectural composition suggesting the interior of a dome — doesn't lean too heavily on its premise, avoiding the literal in favor of a more allusive approach.
Reading passages from the Nick Adams stories published originally in relatively obscure literary reviews, one is overwhelmed by how so little produces so much—how the brevity, far from being taciturn or severe, is matchlessly eloquent in its evocation of the pleasures of the senses and of the feeling of place, as in the famous description of a trout stream in Michigan from the 1925 story "Big Two-Hearted River": Nick looked down into the pool from the bridge.
From the string quartet that complicates the traditional opener "Alla L'a Ke" to the sabar drums and female backups that fill out the equally traditional follow-up "Badima" to the horn and string sections that bulk up the climactic "Naamusoo" and the bird tweets, indigenous flutes, and sabars again that introduce "Night in M'Bour"'s grand finale, a genuinely and often beautifully syncretic evocation of a double identity it would be hard to match and impossible to duplicate.
Other standout works include Michel Gondry's downright charming sweded version of Taxi Driver; Gregory Chatonsky's Google Maps–directed tour of Hitchcock's Vertigo; Alex Israel's luminous and lovely painted evocation of artifice, skies, and cinema, "Sky Backdrop"; and John Divola's remarkable found photos of studio sets — continuity images that were once used to make sure their imaginary places remained the same from shot to shot, but which now seem like uncanny glimpses of Hollywood's latent, enduring fantasy.
It was an evocation through revenants, ghosts, of how memories of the Holocaust went on pulsing through the present, like the slow ripples of the river on which one Polish interviewee rowed and sang a Prussian song; or like the laboured clunking of a train in which an old railwayman stood, remembering how he had drunk vodka to mask the smell of burning bodies; or the rote recitation of railway stations by the German who ran the Department of Special Trains, still proud of ensuring that they got to Treblinka in time.
In her evocation of Doggerland, and how it may have looked or felt before being flooded by rising seas around 8,000 years ago, she is quick to see a parallel with modern climate change: I have watched starlings thickening the evening sky, seals gathered in their breeding colonies, an exodus of toads too numerous to count; but every year there is less to see and my memory tries its best to forget what it has known, for fear of being made too sad by the reality of that loss.
