...Sachs movie mimes. Of late, noir has often been pretzeled into post-modernism: by Joel and Ethan Coen in The Man Who Wasn't There, by Todd Haynes in Far from Heaven, by Robert Rodriguez in Sin City. Each of these built on the viewer's familiarity with the form to play with and subvert it, to create a new, gnarled noir...

In an effort to commemorate Harvard students who fought and died in World War I, the University commissioned Sargent to create these two large paintings in the fall of 1920. Completed in 1922, these murals, coupled with Memorial Church across the New Yard, form the most elaborate World War I memorial in the Boston area.To counter unawareness about Yard jewels such as these, efforts to increase student and public knowledge about the artwork around campus are underway.Emilie Norris, curator of the university’s cultural properties, is developing a website for the sculptures...
