Captain Francis Crozier : Last man standing? /Michael Smith. "Francis Crozier was a major figure in the epic quests of nineteenth-century Polar exploration - navigating the North West Passage, reaching the North Pole and mapping Antarctica. His remarkable story embraces six daring voyages to the world?s most hostile regions and extraordinary feats of endurance, tragedy and failed romance. The groundbreaking expeditions with legendary explorers like Parry, Ross and Franklin lifted the veil from the frozen wastes and were crucial to the exploits of Amundsen, Scott and Shackleton. Crozier's personal tragedy was an unhappy love affair with Franklin's niece which drove him back to the ice one last time as second-in-command on Franklin's North West Passage expedition in 1845. All 129 men vanished on the ice. Crozier took command when the ships were crushed and the expedition was on the brink of disaster. For several years Crozier led a courageous battle trying to lead his men to safety. According to legend, Crozier was last to die - the last man standing. But Crozier never received recognition for his great feats and became another of exploration's Irish unsung heroes."--Provided by the publisher. 2014. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 92CROZIER

Paul Gauguin : why are you angry? /editors: Anna Kµrsgaard Gregersen and Anna Manly. "The special exhibition, Paul Gauguin - Why Are You Angry will revisit the story of one of the most mythologised figures in French art, concentrating particularly on the works he created in Tahiti. The exhibition will shed new light on the museum's collection, juxtaposing the works with historical material from both Gauguin's past and his present, and with international contemporary art. The story of Gauguin the 'savage', who in 1891 abandoned Paris, his Danish wife and his five children to pursue a spiritual, artistic journey in the South Pacific, is a highly-prized story in the history of Western art. The Glyptotek challenges this narrative and uses a diverse selection of historical archive material, visual art and literature in a deeper examination of how the works Gauguin created in Tahiti were not an isolated phenomenon, but part of a larger political and cultural landscape. For example, the exhibition will examine how Gauguin's art was influenced by the popularised myth of Tahiti, which had flourished even before Gauguin's departure for the South Pacific, kindled by a century of Western imperialism and cultural history. Exhibition: Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, Copenhagen, Denmark (19.11.2020 - 16.05.2021)."--Provided by the publisher. [2020]. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 709.04
