...Dossi (1486?-1542) isn't a big name in America, unlike his contemporaries Titian, Raphael and Michelangelo. In fact, the show of his work that has just opened at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City--it was shown late last year in his home city of Ferrara, and will go to the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles in April--is the first retrospective he has ever had. It comes on the 400th anniversary of the dispersal of most of his work, which was taken from Ferrara by papal edict and split up among various collectors...
Practically nothing is known of Dosso's life, except for a few dates and contracts. But it was protected: he spent almost all of it working for two rulers of Ferrara, first for Alfonso I d'Este and then, after Alfonso's death in 1534, for his son Ercole II. Dosso was not, of course, painting for a wide public. At the court in Ferrara his audience consisted of the duke and his entourage, including whatever humanists, poets and assorted hangers-on happened to be on the payroll. All courts tend to be self-referential and mannered, and that...
With 44 seconds left in the Brown-Dartmouth (2-7, 1-5) match-up, Dartmouth senior quarterback Mike Coffey found receiver Damon Ferrara in the back of the end zone, tying the score at 21-21. The game, which seemed destined for overtime, turned into a Bear victory when a short kick off and a shoddy defense turned into a Bear touchdown...

...always deliver when they make music videos. Gus Van Sant's goofily dark vision of Hanson's Weird was interesting, and Martin Scorsese's story line for Michael Jackson's Bad was pretty good, but Brian De Palma's Dancing in the Dark was kind of silly, and Abel Ferrara's upcoming effort for the Phoids looks like an overly earnest drug documentary. Paul Thomas Anderson (Boogie Nights) has beaten them all with this black-and-white, slow-motion interpretation of Apple's dreamy Beatles cover from the Pleasantville sound track. While a makeup-free Apple dreamily croons...
