...Artists, you'd think, would make the perfect subject matter for stories. They drink! They fight! They cut off their ears! So many things they do are fascinating-except, that is, for making art. That may be why so many movies and novels about creative types tend to focus on their personal lives. Even James Joyce ended A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man before his alter ego, Stephen Dedalus, pursued his art. Dedalus moving from house to house because his father is broke: interesting. Dedalus rewriting a tricky patch of dialogue: not so much...
...Every artist eventually finds his or her ideal medium. Manet had canvas; Duchamp painted on glass. Certain Lowell house seniors find inspiration in more mundane rectangles of plastic—their designs and text have recently graced many of the Lowell house dining hall trays. Brendan S.

This weekend, the Harvard Office For the Arts (OFA) and the Harvard Jazz Bands are bringing the 47-year-old clarinetist to campus as an Artist-in-Residence for the OFA’s ongoing “Learning with Performers” series. Byron is a rare breed of jazzman. Few choose to specialize in the clarinet. Few modern jazz artists are unafraid to be explicitly political; Byron routinely gives his compositions titles like...
...develop character, particularly among Avner's team, which is run--mostly from afar--by Geoffrey Rush's hard-assed executive spook. The assassins include a hot-blooded South African hit man played by Daniel Craig, who is the next James Bond; Ciaran Hinds as his opposite, a meticulous cleanup artist; Mathieu Kassovitz as a toymaker who dabbles in bombmaking; and Hanns Zischler as an expert document forger. None of them have particularly accommodating natures, but the stress of living under constant danger becomes their bonding agent. The cast too came from all over the globe, including Israel and other parts...
