The first substantial book on the French Neo-Romantics, a
cosmopolitan group working in 1920s Paris who turned against
modernist abstraction in favour of a new form of figurative
painting. In 1926, the Galerie Druet in Paris made waves presenting
a group of young painters who had spurned modernist abstraction and
returned to a form of figurative painting. For most of them this
was the first time they had exhibited, but their impact was
considerable.Art critic Waldemar George baptized them the
'Neo-Romantics' or the 'Neo-Humanists'. They were influenced by
Picasso, in particular his Blue and Rose periods, but went beyond
him to forge new ways of painting. These were artists who liked to
play with forgotten references and obsolete visual devices such as
trompe l'oeil.They produced work for secondary art forms including
the theatre, set design and ballet. In some ways they were the
first post-modernists in the history of art, yet until now there
has only ever been one book about them, After Picasso, published
ten years after their exhibition. Only more recently has their
influence on contemporary artists and thinkers including Max Jacob,
George Hugnet and Gertrude Stein been recognized.Though friends,
these painters never formed a formal group or movement. The Second
World War sent them on different paths, with the Berman brothers
and Tchelitchev moving to the United States. Before their
departure, however, their activities attracted the attention and
admiration of a cosmopolitan group of characters, including
Gertrude Stein, Alfred Barr, Lincoln Kirstein, George Balanchine
and many others including leading fashion figures of the day,
Christian Dior and Elsa Schiaparelli.

V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
