Little Sister is a novel written as a screenplay set in 1943 in the Upper San Francisco Bay. A seventeen-year-old boy and a fourteen-year-old girl pretend to be brother and sister during the day but live together as parentless lovers at night in a mothballed U.S. Army house trailer they've made into a home. When the Army moves the trailers, they head for Montana. Caught by the police, they are arrested for stealing. On being transported by a sheriff to stand trial in Boise, the sheriff rapes the girl, the boy kills the sheriff.

The Ara Pacis of Augustus, the Augustan Alter of Peace, was restored in 1938 to celebrate the bi-millennial birthday of Augustus and is now being refurbished by the American architect, Richard Meier. It is the most-revered ancient Roman monument. However, this book shows that it is not the altar that everyone thinks it is, but rather a commemorative altar erected under the reign of Tiberius.

Marcel Duchamp: The Failed Messiah

Marcel Duchamp's gift to artists was similar to the Marquis de Sade's gift to sadists-relief from moral restraints, accountability, guilt, and shame. Wayne Andersen will convince you that Duchamp was not the great artist that so many in the academic and museum world believe him to be. Rather, he was a great con artist who spread his charm and wit over the New York art scene. He was clever in his evasive insecurity and so exaggerated that his silly witticisms are still published today as serious. Duchamp was like an alien element that fragmented modern art with the impact of a meteor. The birth of postmodernism (some people say) spelled the end of modernism, the end of historical progress, just as that meteor's impact meant the end of evolution. Is any of this true?

Andersen has translated for the first time Zola's youthful and not-so-youthful letters to his boyhood friend and fellow warrior, Paul Cezanne. He also translated for the first time most of Cezanne's youthful poetry, written in letters sent from Aix-En-Provence to Zola in Paris.

A new edition of the 1971 classic that for weeks was a New York Times “Book of the Times.” Reviewed extensively and favorably across the US and the UK, this book soon became out of print. This new edition is more richly illustrated with reproductions interlaced with the text, and has an expanded first chapter to take into account the Peruvian Nobel laureate, Mario Vargas Llosa’s book The Way to Paradise. Gauguin has been widely admired and emulated as an artist who discarded traditional pictorial values for an intensely personal approach to color and form. Yet the documented accounts of his life and the richly symbolic content of his work indicate that Gauguin could escape neither himself nor his times. In this searching biography, Andersen dispels at last the romantic haze surrounding Gauguin’s life and career, presenting us with a realistic psychological portrait and a completely original and consistent study of the artist’s intricate use of symbolism.

Gauguin's Paradise Lost

Andersen, Wayne Vesti

Manet's two paintings Le Bain and Olympe opened up a new phase of modern art. Picasso's Demoiselles d'Avignon closed that phase while opening yet another onto the twentieth century. Having dealt at length with Picasso's seminal picture in his book, Picasso's brothel, in this book Andersen takes up Manet's two most original paintings: one depicting a picnic, the other a prostitute, finding links between them beyond the fact that a single model, Victorine Meurent, posed for both pictures.

Manet: The Picnic & The Prostitute

An autobiography of a boy born in northwestern Iowa, who grew up partly on a dirt farm and partly in Sioux City as the son of a saloon-keeper. He went on to become a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The first 15 years of the author's troubled life are given in a narrative that also serves as a history of Iowa during the 1930s and the early 1940s: the Depression, the farmer's rebellion, the milk way, the beer wars, card gambling, prostitution, and bootlegging. The balance of the author's life is shown in 100 annotated photographs.
