...fabricated relationship between an irascible Beethoven—played by Ed Harris—and a fictional female copyist. Yet Lockwood doesn’t condemn the movie entirely. “There’s a nub of psychological truth in the idea that an old and isolated artist could have been thrilled to have a young woman be his copyist,” he says. “But it’s largely a failure.” On the topic of Beethoven, Lockwood knows his stuff. His book, “Beethoven: The Music...
...increase the risk that they pose to other drivers, bicyclists, pedestrians and their own passengers (while an average of 80% of drivers buckle up, only 68% of their rear-seat passengers do). And risk compensation is hardly confined to the act of driving a car. Think of a trapeze artist, suggests Adams, or a rock climber, motorcyclist or college kid on a hot date. Add some safety equipment to the equation - a net, rope, helmet or a condom respectively - and the person may try maneuvers that he or she would otherwise consider foolish. In the case of seat belts, instead...
...When you get a new car and you’re feeling like a star, whatcha gonna do?” raps Mistah F.A.B., an Oakland-born artist whose questions challenge us as Bob Dylan’s challenged our parents.

Above a row of keyboards and computers, five boom boxes hang neatly in line. Suspended from the ceiling is a jerry-built lightbox of perspex and wood. Here and there lie bits of dead projects and pieces of experiments still in gestation. Amid all this stuff...
...list. On Oct. 18, Madrid's San Fernando Royal Academy of Fine Arts became the latest destination on the Picasso [an error occurred while processing this directive] pilgrimage route when it opened a roomful of sculptures and etchings by the 20th century's most famous artist. In truth, those works - along with dozens of others by important modern Spanish artists - have been hanging in the esteemed institution for years. Until now, however, almost no one could see them. In 2002, the Academy opened a third floor dedicated to contemporary and modern works like Juan Gris' Fruit Bowl and Newspaper...
