...projects to his credit in Japan, including eight museums, the man is so little known in the U.S. that one baffled well-wisher congratulated Terence Riley, MOMA's chief curator of architecture and design, thinking the museum had selected an Italian architect, Tony Gucci. In an era of glamorously expressionist architecture, of Frank Gehry's voluptuous Guggenheim in Bilbao, Spain, MOMA has opted for a work of what you might call old-fashioned Modernism, clean-lined and rectilinear, a subtly updated version of the glass-and-steel box that the museum first championed in the 1930s, years before that style...
DIED. LEON GOLUB, 82, U.S. artist who painted monumental, brutal figures symbolizing the destructive nature of human ambition and who was hailed as a pioneer during the Neo-Expressionist era of the 1980s; in New York City. When he began his career in the 1950s, his subjects were largely mythological, but by the 1970s, he had moved into politics with the anti--Vietnam War series Assassins, and he continued in that vein in the 1980s with images of global military violence called Mercenaries...
...bringing back the talisman the boy gets folded into the shape of an envelope and returned via post to his parents. It goes on, but you get the idea.

The form lent itself to deeply personal, even solipsistic, stories and a punk-rock aversion to "craft" in favor of raw, expressionist artwork. Over time that outsider style has been adopted (co-opted?) by traditional, established publishers. Three recent works, available in regular comicbook shops, typify this style with their autobiographical stories rendered in immediate, rough graphics: Allison Cole's "Never Ending Summer," James Kochalka's "Sketchbook Diaries Vol. 4" and Jeff...
Boston’s Devil Music Ensemble will provide a live performance of their original score to accompany this influential German Expressionist horror film. The silent classic is known for its shocking visual style, recounting the tale of the mad Dr. Caligari, whose carnival sideshow features a somnambulist with vivid visions of the future. The story takes on a darker tone when a series of murders is found to coincide with the prophet’s predictions. Featuring a variety of instruments including lap steel guitar, vibraphone, and percussion, The Devil Music Ensemble has toured around the country with their...
