Bei meinem ersten Besuch in Paris in den 1990er Jahren besuchte ich auch das Grab von Oscar Wilde auf dem Cimetière du Père-Lachaise mit dem eindrucksvollen Grabmal von Jacob Epstein, das damals von tausenden Lippenstift-Küssen bedeckt war. Ich fand das wundervoll.

2011 wurden sie entfernt und das Grab mit Glasplatten umgeben. Seitdem herrscht absolutes Kussverbot. 😗

"Fragmentary #Modernism" by Nora Goldschmidt asks: how did #ModernistLiterature & #VisualCulture engage with classical fragments (incl #EzraPound, #TSEliot, #HildaDoolittle, #RichardAldington, #JacobEpstein & #HenriGaudier-Brzeska) & shape our reception of #ClassicalAntiquity until today?

#PaulRobeson was a giant among men in every way. Thank you for your article. Especially the information on the #JacobEpstein sculptures in York and Rochdale galleries, which I will endeavour to see asap. (Are they on display?)

I am also doing a small piece of work on Paul Robeson, who I have looked up to since I was a small white girl living in East Africa, and who has influenced my life in many ways.

I will keep you posted.
