One of his signature works, "Variations for a Door and a Sigh" (1963), has only three essential elements — a human sigh, a kind of musical saw and a creaky door — which were laboriously combined and transformed by hand, centimeter by centimeter of tape, to create 48 minutes of evocations of a whole lifetime of experiences.

In "Red" (2017), Webster continues her evocations of a parallel cosmos by jam-packing the surface with different circular orbs that could be buttons, candies, or planetary forms, all of which are a shade of red, with the painting's black ground peering through the narrow slivers of space surrounding some of the volumetric forms.

Writing in the New York Times, BuzzFeed reporter McKay Coppins argues that Trump's tribalist view of Christianity is of a piece with his nostalgic evocations of a white-dominated America, where both religious and ethnic minorities know their place: In the Gospel According to Trump, there is only one blessedly normal, all-American faith: mainline Protestant Christianity.

But some of my favorite moments from these books — the birth scene in Anna Karenina, the evocations of American life and landscape in Lolita, the descriptions of cooking spaghetti in The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle — are transcendent because I can recognize my world in them, but my world refracted so as to be beautiful and powerful and mysterious.

The show at 205 Hudson, then, is composed of works contemporaneous with the period, which feel, for the most part, solidly worked-through despite their DIY aesthetic — even pieces that, at the time, seemed like slapdash evocations of expressionism, such as the wild caricatures of Rick Prol or the fluidly brushed, heavily chiaroscuro'd heads and bodies of Luis Frangella.

Read the Times obituary: Christopher Wong Won, Rapper and a Founder of 215 Live Crew, Dies at 210 June 25 Prodigy, born Albert Johnson, was a hard-nosed rapper who brought to his lyrics a no-nonsense personality and a vivid eye for detail in sometimes achingly poetic evocations of cruel street life in New York.

Interwoven in Xanther's story is her father, Anwar, whose work in game design provides some of the book's more compelling evocations (proving Danielewski isn't devoid of talent, and that perhaps he should rely on language more often than formatting theatrics), but still only semi-absently revolving around references to the structure of the characters as characters, the plot as illusory and hyperbolically blank.

In this crystalline exhibition, nearly every gallery exhales its own delicious breath, offering up concentrated views of Penn's innovative still-life and fashion work for Vogue; his portraits of cultural luminaries and tradesmen, as well as of indigenous Peruvians; his nearly abstract close-ups of voluptuous nudes; and his colossal cigarette butts, with their tragicomic evocations of Roman columns, tombstones and even corpses.

The best evocations of silence in literature are those in which the word is never uttered—Rilke's loving descriptions of rose petals laid on eyelids, or the closing sentence of James Joyce's "Dubliners": His soul swooned slowly as he heard the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead.

Exploring historical coincidences and resonances, some invited artists are also proposing evocations and presentations, with visual, performative, or discursive configurations, that engage with seminal artistic gestures and the corpuses of major artists of the last century that have nourished their own practices, including John Cage, Lygia Clark, Marcel Duchamp, Valeska Gert, Le Corbusier, Hannah Ryggen, Yvonne Rainer, Ad Reinhardt, Witkacy, and Yeh Shih-Chiang, among others.

Such remarks take considerable book space away from the excellent chapter by Russian avant-garde specialist John E. Bowlt devoted to Bakst and the Ballets-Russes-adjacent, antiquity-obsessed creative circle, which comprised the likes of Isadora Duncan, known for her "antique evocations" in dance, and Elise Jouhandeau, a dancer who went by the stage name "Caryathis" — a reference to maidens in mythology who performed a sacrificial dance for Artemis Caryathis.

Museums & Galleries In this crystalline exhibition, closing on July 30, nearly every gallery exhales its own delicious breath, offering up concentrated views of Penn's innovative still-life and fashion work for Vogue; his portraits of cultural luminaries and tradesmen, as well as of indigenous Peruvians; his nearly abstract close-ups of voluptuous nudes; and his colossal cigarette butts, with their tragicomic evocations of Roman columns, tombstones and even corpses.

From Beata Heuman's patisserie-inspired ceilings in homes throughout the city to Fran Hickman's tropical-night bespoke silk panels in the game room of the private members' Chess Club in Mayfair to Luke Edward Hall's playful evocations of Jean Cocteau's drawings on dishware to Martin Brudnizki's recent rococo transformation of Annabel's, the legendary Mayfair '60s-era disco-cum-supper club, their outré interiors are a celebratory rebuke to a dreary age.

She also looked closely at Julian Schnabel, David Salle, and other American painters who emerged in the nineteen-eighties; at the contemporary German artists Martin Kippenberger and Albert Oehlen; and at a galaxy of earlier masters, from Pontormo, Goya, Manet, and Picasso to Diego Rivera, whose twenty-seven-part mural in the Detroit Institute of Arts, with its vivid evocations of Ford's River Rouge factory and its mighty workers, had enthralled her as a child.

In this crystalline exhibition, nearly every gallery exhales its own delicious breath, offering up concentrated views of Penn's innovative still-life and fashion work for Vogue, including "Girl Drinking (Mary Jane Russell), New York, 1949" (above, a gelatin silver print from 2000); his portraits of cultural luminaries and tradesmen, as well as of indigenous Peruvians; his nearly abstract close-ups of voluptuous nudes; and his colossal cigarette butts, with their tragicomic evocations of Roman columns, tombstones and even corpses.

On Coloring Book especially — more than on 2013's Acid Rap, his breakthrough mixtape, or 2015's Surf, so much a group effort that Chance took his name off the project and instead credited it to Donnie Trumpet & The Social Experiment — the result is comically upbeat and, if not sappy per se, endlessly heartwarming and motivational, piling on the cushy hooks, the greeting-card slogans, the evocations of domestic bliss and cozy community, until the sweetness becomes overwhelming and you either enter kiddie heaven or feel nauseous.

The book manages gorgeously precise evocations of the pockets of makeshift grace that accompany the trust-fall of forging a shared life: Nelson and Dodge getting married at a wedding chapel on Santa Monica Boulevard in the final days before Proposition 8 temporarily overturned gay marriage in California, weeping at their vows and clutching two heart-shaped lollipops in the aftermath, wary of sentimental institutions but simultaneously moved by them, or at least within them; then coming home that night to sit on the porch of their new house, wrapped in sleeping bags and eating chocolate pudding with Harry's son.

There are 25 artists in this exhibition and each one pursues a unique set of variables, including Maud Bryt's Cubistically arrayed plaster casts of her own body; Bruce Dorfman's wall-mounted assemblage of canvas, wood, metal, paper, and fabric; Bruce Dow's conjoined Eames chairs; Robert Raphael's stoneware facsimiles of thick, knotted lengths of rope; Daniel Wiener's fantastical grotesqueries in green Apoxie-Sculpt; Norman Jabaut's long-necked abstract construction made from found wood and metal; Max Estenger's sheetrock-and-Plexiglas box; Ali Della Bitta's visceral, rocklike collision of earthenware and steel; Jill Levine's abstracted evocations of Pre-Columbian art in styrofoam and plaster; and Steve Keister's glazed ceramics drawn from Mayan and Aztec sculpture.
