Lincoln Perry is justly celebrated for his murals and edgy narrative figure paintings, with their saturated palette and multifaceted architectural compositions--Poussin refracted through de Chirico. This beautiful new book showcases his images of Charlottesville, Virginia--many of them multipanel compositions featuring the University of Virginia and its environs--accompanied by an essay and interview by his wife, the writer Ann Beattie.

Perry's mural The Student's Progress, which depicts a woman's education and social experience from matriculation through graduation, is familiar to U.Va. students, faculty, and visitors, but Perry has been painting Charlottesville subjects on and off since 1985, when he first moved to town. From his early explorations of the complex relationships between professors and students, played out against the backdrop of Jefferson's Lawn, through his intriguing depictions of the city's domestic interiors, buildings, and streets, Perry illuminates a different side of a place widely appreciated for its history and natural beauty.

Charlottesville, writes Beattie, "both disturbs and calls to Perry] it's a paradoxically comfortable and uncomfortable not-quite-home he has been drawn to many times for reasons he can't easily articulate.... I think that Lincoln likes the town's quirkiness and its lack of uniformity. It's also a place that allows him to practice the x-ray vision so many visual people have for underpinnings: the contradictions that can be drawn upon and aesthetically dramatized.... The place sparks his imagination, and with his paintbrush, he sparks it, charging the air with a bit of unexpected--but very recognizable--light."

Together, Perry and Beattie give us a view of Charlottesville, of place and artistic production, that carries with it the warmth of recognition and the thrill of discovery.

Shimmery, Fun, and Stays Put All Night!
Number of Items: 1
I bought the HANYWIL Body Glitter for a themed party, and it completely exceeded my expectations! The sparkle is gorgeous—rich, multidimensional, and not that flat kind of glitter you sometimes get. A little goes a long way, but it’s also buildable if you want that extra “wow” factor. What I loved most is how comfortable it felt on my skin—no scratchy feeling, and it didn’t flake off everywhere. It stayed put for hours, even with dancing and a little bit of sweat (yes, we were having that much fun). I also used a touch in my hairline, and it caught the light beautifully in photos. Cleanup was surprisingly easy—came off with regular makeup remover and a gentle wash, no stubborn sparkle residue the next day. If you want something that’s fun, easy to use, and actually looks high-quality in real life and in pictures, this is it. Definitely buying more colors for future events!

The sprayer on the can broke after a few uses unfortunately but the product is beautiful and works well as long as your sprayer doesn’t break like mine did.
