...well,? says former NYCB dancer Ib Andersen, artistic director of Ballet Arizona. ?But his ballets are part of me, his musicality, his timing, his sense of structure. My god, this man did everything.? Those who worked with him, says Edward Villella, ?understood we were in a moment of history. Picasso and Stravinsky changed their art forms in the last century. Balanchine did that for ours...
...Grand Parade, Portrait of the Artist as Clown at the Galeries Nationales du Grand Palais (March 11-May 31). With 200 paintings, drawings, sculptures, film clips and installations, the show covers two centuries of this circus lineup, as envisioned by 83 artists including Goya, Ensor, Klee, Beckmann, Dix, Picasso, Bonnard, Hopper, Freud, Robert Capa and Diane Arbus. It's a perilous leap from Chardin's delightful The Monkey Painter and Toulouse-Lautrec's bitter yellow La Clownesse Cha-U-Kao to video artist Pierrick Sorin's ad nauseam Pie Fight, but like Paris itself, there is something for just about...

And for that matter, what is the work of Matthew Barney--all those willfully obscure films drawn from a personal cosmology--if not an update of Gauguin's enigmatic myths...
...best-known celebrity artists New York City has produced since Andy Warhol, Schnabel, now 52, shot to youthful fame in the late '70s with his signature "plate paintings," in which broken crockery is embedded on a painted canvas, then painted some more. He was hailed as a "Picasso who can do anything" (Frankfurt Modern Art Museum director Jean Christophe Ammann) and derided as the "Sylvester Stallone" of painting (TIME critic Robert Hughes). But he conquered the market with price tags of $300,000 and beyond, and captured his share of limelight as well. In the '90s, as painting took...
