...about a great eye. in April 1935, New York City gallery owner Julien Levy hung the black-and-white images of three unsung photographers on his walls, and all three went on to make huge contributions to the 20th century's image bank. The exhibition, entitled Documentary and Anti-graphic Photographs, showcased the early work of Manuel Alvarez Bravo, Henri Cartier-Bresson and Walker Evans. This week, just a month after the death of Cartier-Bresson, the longest-surviving member of the trio, the first-ever recreation of Levy's exhibition opens at the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson in Paris...

...comixcenti as Eyes Wide Shut, Stanley Kubrick's long-delayed final film brought to cinephiles. Though Spiegelman's name may not be as well known to the general public as Kubrick's, his 1986 Holocaust memoir Maus, featuring cats as Nazis and mice as Jews, remains the most recognized graphic novel ever published. In spite of this, Spiegelman became, as he says in the introduction to his new book, "like some farmer being paid not to grow wheat," writing essays and doing cover art for The New Yorker rather than doing new comix. Then came September 11, 2001, which...
