Note: The expression “Late Style” derives from Adorno’s 1937 essay on the Spätstil of Beethoven. The phrase was used as the title of a course at Columbia University and later of a posthumous book by Edward Said, who explained that “Late Style” refers to “the way in which the work of some great artists and writers acquires a new idiom towards the end of their lives.” Here one is viewing, however, “artistic lateness not [necessarily] as harmony and resolution, but as intransigence, difficulty, and unresolved contradiction.” With the subtitle “Looking Back on a Life in Mathematics”, it is also the chosen title for a documentary about Yuri Manin.
