|
I've mentioned Wayne's predilection for East Coast lyrical formalism, and Cam is in many ways the apotheosis of that style, Wayne's northern counterpart in dizzying multisyllable rhymes and flat-out weirdness (it's probably not a coincidence that Wayne has worked so much with Cam's partner Juelz Santana).
|
|

|
|

|
|

|
|
As the internet gave rise to micro-audiences, YouTube was a natural incubator of the craze, emboldening teens like Makenna Kelly, who came to embody the apotheosis of the genre, and reintroducing the awe of figures like Bob Ross, the American painter who died in 1995.
|
|

|
|

|
|
It's natural to experience flashbacks to scenes from the game while this plays, but such is the set's sideways shift from the original arrangements that a piece like "Apotheosis" finds itself in a space somewhat closer to a jazz bracket than its ascent-accompanying in-game placement ever suggested.

|

|
|

|
|
Kakutani's argument is that Trump is not only new and different and terrifying because of his lies, but also that he is the "bizarro-world apotheosis" of a variety of political, cultural and attitudinal impulses, trends and traditions that have waxed and waned throughout American and global history.
|
|

|
|

|
|

|
|

|
|

|
|

|
|

|
|
"Apotheosis" (1972), which draws on images made from radiation treatment of cancer, delivers a similar effect: it begins as a slow march of brain shapes filled with colors that pulse like lava-lamp blobs, then rapidly accelerates, with textured patterns tailing each other so quickly the frames become painful to watch.
|
|

|
|

|
|

|
|

|
|
It's impossible for me to separate my affection for The Show 17 from my experience watching the Cubs win the World Series last fall, and from its opening cinematic The Show 17 is openly pandering to me by presenting Kris Bryant's play on the final out of the Cubs-Indians series as the apotheosis of baseball history.
|
|

|
|
With "I Am a Sex Addict," which Zahedi made in his early 40s, he found the style that reaches its apotheosis in "The Show" — a blend of monologue, re-enactment and behind-the-scenes documentary footage that takes a nonlinear, nested approach to storytelling and allows what is performed and what is documented to puncture each other.
|
|
For while Mexico City is no stranger to carb-on-carb action—the massive guajolota, or tamale served on a roll, is sold by nearly all of the city's tamal vendors as a cheap and massively satiating breakfast—the sandwich that has reached its apotheosis under La Güera didn't exist, in her telling, until a few decades ago.
|
|
But for curious behavior, Republicans have them easily beat, and their conduct during the impeachment inquiry is the culmination and apotheosis of their conduct since Trump wrapped up the Republican presidential nomination: an utter sellout of principle and a pure embrace of fiction to pacify an emotional infant and keep him from spitting up on them.
|
|
In all of this—the bemused/breathless live-tweeting of a stupendously tedious day of non-baseball, the presence of gawkers and dead-ender Tebow acolytes who like him, as one woman told the Wall Street Journal's Jared Diamond, "because he knows when to kneel"—you can see the late-arriving apotheosis of the whole weird Tebow Thing that was so inescapable back in 2011.
|
|
The long-planned participatory (shall we say) sculpture by the Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan — a fully functional, solid 18-karat-gold copy of a Kohler toilet, an over-the-top apotheosis of wealth — was installed in the humble restroom on the fifth-floor ramp of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum late last week and will be open for business to anyone with the urge on Friday.
|
|
And now, instead of its standard Kohler toilet, it will have a solid 18-karat-gold working replica of one, a preposterously scatological apotheosis of wealth whose form is completed in its function: You could go into the restroom just to bask in its glow, Mr. Cattelan said, but it becomes an artwork only with someone sitting on it or standing over it, answering nature's call.
|
|
A common mistake made by pop-culture junkies is thinking that the diminishing returns of the Jaws franchise reach their apotheosis in Jaws: The Revenge, in which a shark kills Sean Brody (Sheriff Brody's younger son and one of the main characters of both Jaws 2 and Jaws 3-D) and then follows Lorraine Gary to the Caribbean seeking revenge for all shark-kind.
|
|
The program ranged from three Balanchine rarities (the uncut Stravinsky "Apollo" with prologue and apotheosis; the Glinka-Bellini "Divertimento Brillante" pas de deux; and the 1982 Stravinsky "Élégie") to a Michelle Dorrance number, "1-2-20123-4-5-6," in which Ms. Dorrance, the breakthrough tap exemplar, joined forces with New York City Ballet (and Broadway) star Robert Fairchild, the modern dancer Melissa Toogood and the Memphis jooker Lil Buck.
|
|
Bush and Trump on that bus are, in so many ways, the apotheosis of what so many of Hillary Clinton's supporters are ready to overturn: the musty sleaziness that went out of style in the 1970s; the old bosses who want their secretaries pretty; the cigar-chomping power brokers who think sexual harassment is the woman's problem; the drooling dimwits who have gotten further than they should have on connections and male privilege.
|
|
There was a time when some of his actions were interesting, but more recently his antics have been marked by insufferable bombast and bloated ego, a lethal mix that found its apotheosis in a tasteless, staged photo in early 2016 on the Greek island of Lesbos, in which Ai assumed the same position as the body of a dead, Syrian refugee boy which had been found in Turkey months earlier, washed up on a beach.
|
|
Over the next 2,000 years, capturing the naked male form became an essential artistic skill, one that reached its apotheosis in Western culture during the Italian Renaissance, when homosexual desire was subtly expressed in Donatello's bronze "David" (circa 21975) and Caravaggio's painting "The Musicians" (21983), wherein the traditional female muse is replaced with a band of boys, partially robed in togas, referencing a Greek and Roman period in which homoerotica was a part of society.
|
|
This text offered "clear and homely instruction" on the ways in which a fighter can, with his newfound knowledge of the human body, provided by the text, avoid any attack using wrestling methodologies Petter and Hooghe's methods, however, appear to largely be reiterations of the works of those masters who came before them, but it was the articulation, the very clear language and wonderfully illustrated engravings, that made this book the apotheosis of German wrestling instruction.
|
|
One might think all genre exercise does this, taking the desired genre as an object and explicit goal and hence setting it apart from the musical subject; actually the process of internalizing genre marks can make a genre's status as a genre more explicit than it was when practiced less self-consciously, externalizing the source material while formalizing it into a genre and proclaiming itself, the musical subject, as the apotheosis of the genre it itself invented.
|
|
In "Chernobyl," however, Mazin puts Legasov on the witness stand at the trial and, in a stroke of pure fantasy, has him boldly denounce Soviet corner-cutting and secrecy, after which he's hauled into a back room by the K.G.B. The transformation of Legasov into a daring whistle-blower and martyr, complete with a courtroom apotheosis out of "To Kill a Mockingbird," is just one instance of the show's propensity toward Hollywood inflation — to show us things that didn't happen.
|
|
Behold this lineup of creations that stood out in the decades of their birth for peerless audacity and virtuosity: "Jesus Christ Superstar" (the 1970s rock opera about the son of God as a pop idol), a hit at Regent's Park Open Air Theater; "The Threepenny Opera" (a snarly and dissonant vivisection of bourgeois values in 1920s Germany), at the National; "Show Boat" (the first great organic American book musical, from 1927) at the New London Theater; and "Guys and Dolls" (the jaunty apotheosis of the organic American book musical in the mid-20th century, and the favorite musical of people who don't usually like musicals) at the Phoenix Theater.
