Appearance
2002Year Daniel Auteuil, an exceptionally versatile French actor, gives one of his greatest screen performances as the fiftysomething Marquis de Sade waiting out the Reign of Terror with a group of French aristocrats at a luxurious former convent converted into a prison hospital. A far cry from the raving maniac played by Geoffrey Rush in "
Quills," this convincing screen portrait paints Sade as a charming but sinister rebel who secretly tutors a spirited teenage girl in sex and atheism under the noses of her stuffy parents. Marianne Denicourt is Sade's devoted mistress (and mother of a young son) who uses her affair with a henchman of Robespierre to save her lover from the guillotine. — Stephen Holden The Marquis de Sade in a More Complex Guise

1995Year THE magic of image manipulation made possible by computer scanners has found its way into the art of the contemporary quilt. While quilters of the past relied on ready-made fabrics, whether old or new, many artists now working in the quilt format create their own fabric patterns with various methods of printing and dying. In addition to traditional printing blocks and silk-screens, which create patterns in repeatable units, they have found ways of transferring images to cloth from computer-generated digital prints.
