Parma, a picturesque city in Northern Italy, is the home of Parmigianino Reggiano cheese, Prosciutto ham, and Barilla pasta. Lately, however, this food-famous city has also become the home of another, more foreign, specialty—Harvard football alums.Three recent Crimson graduates, Corey Mazza ’08, Danny Brown ’07, and former captain Ryan Tully ’07, are now playing in the Italian Football League (IFL) with the Parma Panthers. “We’re having a good time over here, and [I’m] just getting to do what...
...Australia. So after faking it for a while he lit out for Europe, wandering from church to museum. That experience, he writes, gave him a first-rate education but forever ruined him for "the company of some oafish collector who just bought a Jeff Koons but thinks Parmigianino was a kind of cheese." Hughes began freelancing art pieces for newspapers and magazines in London. There he met a lively Australian named Danne Emerson, got her pregnant and married her in 1967. But she preferred hard drugs and serial sex, giving Hughes a dose of the clap she picked up from...
...life, you would fully expect Modigliani to draw like Egon Schiele, tormented figures tied into knots by their own perplexities. Instead he deployed the most serene line in the whole School of Paris, a line that stretches back four centuries to the elongated figures of Pontormo and Parmigianino.

While in Italy, he learned from Renaissance masters like Titian, Tintoretto and Michelangelo, and Mannerists like Parmigianino. He readily took on their style; one of several versions of the Purification of the Temple, from the 1570s, quotes extensively from Raphael and Michelangelo. Yet he failed to find great success in Italy, possibly because he made disparaging remarks about Michelangelo, and thus moved to Spain in 1576. He settled...
...have always quoted from the past, but Currin, like a good postmodernist, puts his quotes in big quotation marks. Walk through any of the later galleries in the Whitney show, and what you experience is a sustained conceptual flutter, a continual flickering between high and low, Mannerism and kitsch, Parmigianino and sleazerino. It's a strategy that makes his work radical and familiar at the same time, like an especially snappy new running shoe, which in any market is never a bad idea...
