...most striking painting in New Delhi's National Gallery of Modern Art, India's premier collection, is up a flight of stairs, in a room on the first floor. Usually hanging in a distant corner, it gives you a jolt when it springs on you. It's a rectangular oil panel: a group of adolescent Brahmins, bare-chested and with gleaming, sacred threads dangling around their torsos, sit cross-legged against a burgundy background. One of them stares at you, one turns away, and the central figure, with a white-and-red paint mark on his forehead, looks beyond...
...Lempert says that given avian flu and mad cow concerns, many consumers are looking for new forms of protein this summer.

Painted on a small rectangular piece of stringybark by a now unknown artist, the white ibis was depicted in the X-ray style expressed in rock art for thousands of years. Bound for the then National Museum of Victoria, Aboriginal art made its first serious impression on Western eyes. Fifty years later, the people of Yirrkala revived the tradition for a historic land claim in Australia's federal parliament, with...
...upon arriving, his first question was: “Is this it?” Yes, this is it. “There’s no more? Just this one room?” Yup. Just a space the size of an Eliot common room, but slightly more rectangular. A third of the space is occupied by the bar—with fairly decent beers on tap, though nothing spectacular—while a teeny stage sits at the far end of the room. A few stone toad idols sit above the bartender’s head, prompting...
