...that's a different matter. It would be Renoir's aim to reconfigure the female nude in a way that would convey the spirit of the classical world without classical trappings.

...cast similarly wide at Volte, volte.in, in the tony Colaba district, where the exhibits range from video art to LED installations. There are occasional poetry readings and talks by artists too. "People are often intimidated by art in old-fashioned galleries," says owner Tushar Jiwarajka. "We wanted a friendly space with nontraditional art."

...take place before any kind of prosthetic boom can take off. "This has to be about Haitians helping Haitians," says Dr. Henri Ford, a Haitian American and chief surgeon at Children's Hospital in Los Angeles, who is also an earthquake volunteer in Haiti. "Amputees are too often told in Haiti, 'You are a burden to society and to your family - people do not have the time for you.'" Before he performs an amputation there, Ford says, patients often shout, "You might as well as kill me, because I won't be able to make a living." Haitian officials "have...
