...Theirs not to make reply,/Theirs not to reason why,/Theirs but to do and die." It is necessary to remind oneself these days that Tennyson wrote those lines with a straight face. For the poet laureate, the gallant but futile attack at Balaclava was a testimony to human courage. Aided by the hindsight of history, Director Tony Richardson sees the event in another light. His film version of The Charge of the Light Brigade, based in part on Cecil Woodham-Smith's brilliant study, The Reason Why, is a polemical attack on the futility...

...paint on canvas altogether. Proclaiming that it was time "to wring the neck of painting," Miró in the early '30s embarked on the production of oddly haunting "poetic objects," which were meant to suggest the improbable juxtaposition of objects that occurs in dreams. Many of his sculptures remind observers of the combines produced by Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg in the 1950s...
