...propel him into action. But it wasn't just crime that captured his attention: the despair and shell shock of the Depression in America and the absurd opulence of the country's postwar era both inspired him. In one image, a young couple dances in a "voodoo trance" (ca. 1956); in another, a burlesque showgirl whose glorious body drips with glitter sips water backstage. Weegee's pursuit of regular people in their mundane vulnerability and well-knowns such as glamour model Bettie Page and actress Eva Gabor created a body of work that became emblematic of all New Yorkers, native...
...greatest art museums put their heads together? In a rare collaboration with the Louvre, the Pompidou Center's National Museum of Modern Art is hosting "Tête À?

In The Lamentation, 1530-35, Christ's mother is seated on the ground, her son lying on her knees. A woman leans her head on Mary's shoulder-her face ugly with grief. His massive fresco...
...parent and an educator, I was surprised at the ''plus ca change . . .'' impression given by your piece on children's toys (LIVING, Dec. 22). Are you assuming that Rambo occupies the same role as Daniel Boone or Superman in children's fantasies and contributes in the same way to their moral and social development? If the historical trend toward more explicitly violent heroes is so benign, why have we seen such a dramatic increase in real violence in our society over the past several decades...
