Rather, part of her competence as a teacher lay in her sense of when to leave me to chart the daily course, if not the greater trajectory, of my education on my own. Hers was a deliberate lesson in self-sufficiency: When the substance of my "homework" failed to satisfy, I was at liberty to educate myself at the local library. And if, on occasion, a difficult question perplexed even...
Born in Rome, the son of a trumpet player, Morricone studied composition at a conservatory but earned his early money as an arranger of Italian pop.

Sculpture: The Adventure of Modern Sculpture in the 19th and 20th Centuries (Rizzoli; 308 pages; $85) is a wide-ranging study of this art form. In addition to more than 550 photographs (nearly half in color), essays by art historians chart the changes in sculpture from traditional men on horseback to imposing abstractions that are set against desolate landscapes or take up acres and even miles. Examples include Nancy Holt's Sun Tunnels and Robert Smithson's Spiral Jetty in Utah and Christo's 24-mile-long nylon Running Fence in California. These and more familiar pieces by Auguste Rodin...
