...heavens or planting her throne high among spectacular settings of classical arches and columns. It matters that he came of age just as artists were abandoning wood panels in favor of stretched canvas - especially in Venice, a maritime power where ship canvas was everywhere - and turning away from fresco or egg tempera to the relatively new and more pliant medium of oil paint. Drag a loaded brush over the textured surface of a canvas, and a whole range of sensual effects are possible. The feathery plush of a fur collar, the glint of light on armor, the nap of rough...
...enjoyed the celebration at the Pub. Associate Dean of the College Judith H. Kidd, sporting a blue Hawaiian shirt and lei, spent some time behind the bar in support of the expanding pub. “I think it’s nice to add another dimension to al fresco dining to the Harvard Yard,” she said. “I’m all for it.” The atmosphere at the pub could only be described as business-tropic, with some donning suits and business attire and others opting for more festive Hawaiian shirts?...

Now you can see 105 of his drawings unfold themselves gorgeously across three floors of Mass MoCA, the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, in North Adams, Mass. In a very unusual arrangement, "Sol LeWitt: A Wall Drawing Retrospective" will remain on view there for at least 25 years. In effect...
...Ritchie loves characters who provide conflict and, more important, congestion; his pictures are downright garish with local color. A few from this fresco: Tank (Nonso Anozie), an Anglo-Afro bruiser who's fond of Merchant-Ivory dramas; Handsome Bob (Tom Hardy), a gang member who unexpectedly plights his homoerotic troth to the flummoxed One Two ("What exactly is it you want to do to me, Bob?"); and, best of the lot, Johnny Quid (Toby Kebbell), a junk rocker who has faked his own death to sell more CDs. It's a star-making part for Kebbell...
