In 1979, an 11th century Persian poem with 50,000 rhyming couplets, illu┬Łmi┬Łnated by tiny paintings in exquisite colors made from crushed jewels and insectsŌĆÖ wings, inspired my first story about art. For the next 20 years, I wrote, published, and broadcast hundreds of Stories about Art in Boston and beyond. This is how it all began.Read the full article »

Claude Le LorrainApril 1st, 1980
CLAUDE LE LORRAIN depicts the moment just before trans┬Łfig┬Łu┬Łration ŌĆö the moment just before women turn into goddesses, or girls turn into swans, or life turns into art. His light is dusk and twilight ŌĆö the darkling light that washes the physical world in unearthly beauty and fills the heart with an intox┬Łi┬Łcating sense of possibility.Read the full article »
Gabriele Munter: From Munich to MurnauNovember 1st, 1980
A woman sits thinking, resting her head on her hand in a room filled with flowers and fruit. The room seems charged with meaning, filled with her extra┬Łor┬Łdinary presence. For GABRIELE MUNTER, art was not about appear┬Łances, but about real┬Łities lying behind appear┬Łances. Abstraction was a way of seeing into the heart of things.Read the full article »
Ingres 1780 ŌĆō 1980December 1st, 1980
For a twentieth-century audience brought up on abstraction, INGRESŌĆÖs greatness, his fasci┬Łnation, lies in the abstract qual┬Łities of his line, its restless, obsessive movement across the page. IngresŌĆÖ line has power, grace, life; itŌĆÖs bril┬Łliant, dramatic, neurotic, even perverse. He told his students, ŌĆ£Drawing is every┬Łthing; it is all of Art.ŌĆØRead the full article »

Work on PaperFebruary 1st, 1981
Each rectangle is like a picture of a picture, moving through a series of trans┬Łfor┬Łma┬Łtions. The tremulous drawings are like jottings, hiero┬Łglyphics, messages in bottles, unreadable post┬Łcards, ideas coming into being, the first appear┬Łances of the not-yet-visible, the impal┬Łpable images taking form before our eyes.Read the full article »
The Dial: Arts and Letters in the 1920sApril 1st, 1981

Flora NatapoffOctober 1st, 1981
The surface of a FLORA NATAPOFF painting is a place where battles have been fought, cities and temples built up and brought down, and on which there has been a wrestling with angels. The means of expression are abstract ŌĆō marks on paper and scraps of paper that must always hold their own. But the energy to work comes from looking at some┬Łthing that moves her.Read the full article »
The Sketchbooks of Le CorbusierDecember 1st, 1981

New Wave PaintingJune 1st, 1982
False masks of plastic beauty are among its moving targets. Desperate to survive the glis┬Łsando of the word processor and the deadly lull of ordinary life, it rips to pieces the worldŌĆÖs fabric and its skin and puts it back together, obses┬Łsively recre┬Łating from scraps and scrawls and marks and images the objects of its desire and its rage.Read the full article »
Anne Neely/Robert FerrandiniApril 1st, 1983
Yet there is exhil┬Ła┬Łration in the terror, the vertig┬Łinous fall. These speedy, violent fantasies of destruction and chaos are tenderly, beau┬Łti┬Łfully described. The drawings in graphite and linseed oil ŌĆō the oil used wonder┬Łfully as color ŌĆō and the swirls of paint in eerie sea greens or fiery reds compose a balanced, painterly surface. The language of abstraction pulls us upward, as the images plunge us into the abyss.Read the full article »
Michael MazurMay 1st, 1983
In MICHAEL MAZURŌĆÖs hands, the Monotype was the perfect form to convey the multi┬Łplicity of life in the natural world. The clearest, most lucid flowers are surrounded by a paler aura of other flowers, other summers, other inter┬Łpre┬Łta┬Łtions ŌĆö a riot of reeds and flowers, organic growth, confusion, and decay. Revenants of images repeat like ghostly, half-remembered things.Read the full article »

More Than DrawingMarch 1st, 1984
Drawings as a picture making, story telling, dream machine. Drawings that dance, stretch, yearn, arch, and glide across the page. The plea┬Łsures of looking emerge here not from what is observed but from how it is rendered; not the image but the artifice.Read the full article »

Renoir: A Lesson in HappinessDecember 1st, 1984
ŌĆ£His hands were terribly deformed. Rheumatism had cracked the joints, bending the thumb toward the palm and the other fingers toward the wrist. Visitors who werenŌĆÖt used to it couldnŌĆÖt take their eyes off this muti┬Łlation. Their reaction, which they didnŌĆÖt dare express, was: ŌĆśItŌĆÖs not possible.

Robert FerrandiniDecember 1st, 1984
ROBERT FERRANDINIŌĆÖs early work featured flying saucers and monsters, imagery drawn from a 1950ŌĆÖs childhood spent watching science-fiction movies like When Worlds Collide and The Thing.

Animal as MetaphorApril 1st, 1985
Artists look at animals: the romantic fantasy animal, the prim┬Łitive art animal, the hidden drives animal, the whim┬Łsical animal, the elemental animal, and other mythical beasts. As Walt Whitman wrote,
ŌĆ£I think I could turn and live with animals, they are so placid and self containŌĆÖd,
I stand and look at them long and long.ŌĆØ
Radio DaysOctober 13th, 1985
Some┬Łthing magical happened when the micro┬Łphone was turned on: all my doubts disap┬Łpeared.

Images of the MindMay 19th, 1986
Tao Chi was a prince who became a wandering Buddhist monk. His ŌĆ£Melan┬Łcholy Thoughts on the Hsiao and Hsiang Rivers,ŌĆØ captures the mood of the end of autumn. A lonely fishing hut is half-hidden by a few sparse trees; a flock of wild geese flies over a river. The callig┬Łraphy echoes the flight of the birds and the quiver of the leaves. Without under┬Łstanding a word, we can feel the poetry.Read the full article »
John UdvardyNovember 2nd, 1987
Sculptor JOHN UDVARDY sees the aesthetic possi┬Łbil┬Łities in an old whittled paddle or a forked birch branch, and he knows how to make a curve from a green sapling.

Contemporary New England FurnitureJune 1st, 1988
New England is now the center of an extra┬Łor┬Łdinary flour┬Łishing of tradi┬Łtional crafts, espe┬Łcially furniture, because some very talented artists have turned to crafts as a way out of the cynical and cerebral ŌĆ£endgameŌĆØ that so much contem┬Łporary art is playing today.Read the full article »
Ritsuko TahoDecember 14th, 1988
RITSUKO TAHOŌĆÖs ever-changing instal┬Łlation is a spare but elegant invi┬Łtation to partic┬Łipate in a work of art, both literally and metaphor┬Łi┬Łcally ŌĆō by bringing more leaves, and by making a leap of imag┬Łi┬Łnation that trans┬Łforms a heap of trash on a vacant lot into a poem in silver and brown.Read the full article »
The SituationistsJanuary 28th, 1989
The Situ┬Ła┬Łtionists called for an art of excess, delirium, outrage, and social change. They believed that capi┬Łtalism had turned contem┬Łporary life into a society of ŌĆ£spec┬ŁtacleŌĆØ that its inhab┬Łi┬Łtants could only passively watch and consume. Situ┬Ła┬Łtionism would bring art out of the museums and into the streets, and sabotage the society of spec┬Łtacle by creating situ┬Ła┬Łtions in which people could turn their own lives into a creative experience.Read the full article »
Jesseca Ferguson: Distant Views and Forgotten DreamsFebruary 1st, 1989
JESSECA FERGUSONŌĆÖs construc┬Łtions often contain old post┬Łcards, which seem to have been sent from places that have long since disap┬Łpeared. Lost, ruined, or forgotten, they have left behind only pale and ghostly traces. Enshrined in little boxes, like the bones of saints in medieval reli┬Łquaries, her work cele┬Łbrates the some┬Łtimes mirac┬Łulous power of memory to transform the pain and complexity of real life into the stuff of dreams, and art.Read the full article »
Anselm KieferFebruary 1st, 1989
Anselm Kiefer uses the language of modern art to rewrite the kind of grandiose nineteenth-century history painting that modern art rejected. He paints a raging elegy for the failure of reason and civi┬Łlization to overcome the evil that is part of human nature. Yet for Kiefer, only the magic of art can build some┬Łthing beau┬Łtiful out of the wreck of reason and the failure of history.Read the full article »

Courtly Splendor: Twelve Centuries of Treasures from JapanMarch 21st, 1989
The silvery glow of the moon and the flow of an under┬Łground river are reflected in sinuous callig┬Łraphy that swoons down a page from 12th century book of poems, strewn with shim┬Łmering silver roses: ŌĆ£True, I say nothing/ but the longing in my heart/ reaches out to you,/ secret as the constant flow of an under┬Łground river.ŌĆØRead the full article »
Roger KizikApril 19th, 1989
ROGER KIZIKŌĆÖs loopy, staccato line describes fishing boats with names like Frolic or Finast Kind, houses on the beach, the book he is reading or the tool he is using for fixing up his house or boat.

American Photography: 1839 ŌĆō 1900June 2nd, 1989
The people in the portraits present anxious faces to the camera; having your picture taken was a serious business.

Silvery and almost trans┬Łparent, their delicate faces float on the shim┬Łmering silver plates like ghosts.Read the full article »
Adolph von MenzelJuly 11th, 1989
MENZELŌĆÖs drawings often show people and things as if they were turning into shadow, turning into smoke, dissolving into a cloud; just about to disappear. He said, ŌĆ£I early culti┬Łvated the habit of drawing things as though I were never to see them again.ŌĆØRead the full article »
Mary CassattJuly 14th, 1989
In many of the prints, a womanŌĆÖs face is partially obscured, either because of the way she has turned her head, or because she is holding some┬Łthing in front of her face ŌĆæŌĆæ a hand, a letter, a child. This conveys a sense of mystery, a feeling that there are secret meanings and moments of tragedy and what Virginia Woolf called ŌĆ£ecstasyŌĆØ ŌĆö hidden in the texture of a womanŌĆÖs daily life.Read the full article »
Imperial TasteJuly 24th, 1989
In the 12th century, the Emperor Quianlong, who was a also a poet, said, ŌĆ£I want colorŌĆØ.

Ed RuschaSeptember 8th, 1989
From the window of the studio ED RUSCHA had in the 1960ŌĆÖs, he could see a sign reading HOLLYWOOD.

Ruins at the RoseDecember 8th, 1989
The 80ŌĆÖs began with big, shiny, self-confident paintings, but they are ending with of shreds and tatters, and anxious premo┬Łni┬Łtions of a ruined world. They reminded me of the ending of William GibsonŌĆÖs science fiction novel Count Zero, when a bril┬Łliant computer distills the few remaining frag┬Łments of a ruined civi┬Łlization into exquisite little construc┬Łtions.

The canvas curled back like a white wave. The light turned red. Silhou┬Łettes of dancers moved through the white space like brush┬Łstrokes moving across a picture plane. The light turned white.

Gyorgy KepesMarch 10th, 1990
GYORGY KEPES paints with a mixture of oil paint and sand, which gives his work a rough, earthy texture.

David Salle/Imitation of LifeMarch 29th, 1990
One of DAVID SALLEŌĆÖs favorite movies is Douglas SirkŌĆÖs IMITATION OF LIFE. In one scene, all the char┬Łacters are jammed into a taxi, watching a funeral through the windows. In SalleŌĆÖs paintings, too, many different things are happening at once, every┬Łthing is crammed together, nothing seems finished, every┬Łthing is seen in reflection or juxta┬Łpo┬Łsition or through a filter or a pane of glass, and all of the contra┬Łdic┬Łtions are left unresolved.Read the full article »
Gene KellyApril 24th, 1990
GENE KELLY was a great dancer because his dancing seemed to be an overflow of his superb vitality ŌĆö a natural extension of his person┬Łality.

A California DreamMay 15th, 1990
ŌĆ£The places we have known do not belong only to the world of space on which we map them for our own conve┬Łnience.

Jean ArthurMay 30th, 1990
On film, JEAN ARTHUR is impulsive, but truthful ŌĆæŌĆæ true to the moment, while the moment lasts.

Madame de PompadourJune 1st, 1990
Madame de Pompadour always managed to look graceful, even in the most constricting clothes ŌĆö corsets, bustles, and stays.

Censorship and the ArtsJune 9th, 1990
It takes a lot of courage to be an artist. All kinds of things get in the way, but the thing that gets in the way the most is fear. ThatŌĆÖs why the threat of censorship is so dangerous to Art.

Martin PuryearJuly 9th, 1990
His falcons are elegant objects, yet they are also birds of prey. They are chained to a perch, dreaming of flight; perfectly at rest, yet poised to spread their wings and reach for the sky.

The Unique PrintDecember 9th, 1990
In monotype, there is no fixed image on the printing surface. The artist paints or draws on a printing plate, makes changes, and prints again; the final proof is an accu┬Łmu┬Łlation of all the changes that have been made. Pale, faded images of past impres┬Łsions often cling to mono┬Łtypes like shadows; they are called ŌĆ£ghosts.ŌĆØRead the full article »
Love and DeathDecember 14th, 1990
The prayers were long, thin strips of paper or canvas, newsprint, photographs, or tinsel, embell┬Łished with drawings, paint, cutŌĆæouts, dried roses, gold leaf, buttons, beads. Some were abstract; some had words; others had musical nota┬Łtions written on them. One prayer was made from a piece of old, paintŌĆæsplattered blue jeans, with a peace symbol and love beads.Read the full article »
Ilya Kabakov/Soviet Conceptual ArtJanuary 6th, 1991
When you look up, all those frag┬Łments convey a vertig┬Łinous sense of disin┬Łte┬Łgration, and decay. But when you look down, every┬Łthing is compressed onto a single shiny surface, and itŌĆÖs beau┬Łtiful. All that debris ŌĆö all that waste and pain ŌĆö is trans┬Łformed into art.Read the full article »
Robert WilsonŌĆÖs VisionJanuary 17th, 1991
ROBERT WILSONŌĆÖS VISION is struc┬Łtured like a journey ŌĆö a journey that moves from morning to night ŌĆö from white to black ŌĆö from the past to the future ŌĆö from birth to death. A journey that has no beginning and no end, but all takes place in a timeless, endless present.Read the full article »
The Sound Artist: Hans Peter KuhnFebruary 18th, 1991
ŌĆ£Sound art is more open and much closer to life than music. Music is a filtered expe┬Łrience. IŌĆÖm not a composer. I donŌĆÖt want the emotional view bound or directed in any one direction. I want to keep it open. IŌĆÖm always trying things out. I hear some┬Łthing and I can pick it up and react in minutes. IŌĆÖm inter┬Łested in every┬Łthing that makes a noise.ŌĆØRead the full article »
When We Dead AwakenFebruary 21st, 1991
A neon blue river of light crosses the stage on a diagonal. A black mountain looms beyond, pierced by a stark white waterfall. The sculptor sits brooding on a rocky throne; an egg-shaped stone is pierced with a spear. Two Irenes enter, and lie on the ground, like stones. ŌĆ£You have killed my soul,ŌĆØ they cry. ŌĆ£I am an artist!ŌĆØ cries the sculptor. One Irene sits on the rock, like a statue. ŌĆ£I was a human being too.ŌĆØRead the full article »
The Future of ArtMarch 1st, 1991
It is art that acknowl┬Łedges the struggle of its own making, and conveys a sense of life as composed of frag┬Łments, where not every┬Łthing is legible, and some things are irrev┬Ło┬Łcably ruined or lost. The past haunts and enriches the present. Memory and imag┬Łi┬Łnation are inter┬Łtwined. It is a mirror of the soul.Read the full article »
GuercinoMarch 14th, 1991
GUERCINO drew like an angel ŌĆö his gorgeous line curls across the page; his brush forms shadows that suggest a sense of the roundness and fullness of life. His best drawings are more than drawings ŌĆö they are blessings, exquisite expres┬Łsions of those moments when Art and Faith are one.Read the full article »
Photography at the Boston AthenaeumMarch 28th, 1991
The Boston Athenaeum, a Library with gracious high-ceilinged rooms adorned with columns and all kinds of Graeco-Roman archi┬Łtec┬Łtural details, and filled with books and pictures, was built by 19th century Bosto┬Łnians as a modern temple to Athena, Goddess of Wisdom.Read the full article »
12th Annual Boston Drawing ShowApril 13th, 1991
GERRY BERGSTEINŌĆÖs drawings show scribbles, scrawls, crossings-out, angry re-workings, markings of struggle and doubt. From this chaos of marks on paper emerge luminous little still lives, marked by the process of decay: visions of a world in flux, where every┬Łthing is changing, growing, living, dying, and being reborn.Read the full article »
Rosemarie TrockelMay 25th, 1991
ŌĆ£All these images are oblit┬Łerated, defaced, lost. ItŌĆÖs about those marginal, mundane expe┬Łri┬Łences that are for some reason signif┬Łicant to her. There are certain things about her work that are myste┬Łrious. They remain myste┬Łrious. And she trea┬Łsures that mysteriousness.ŌĆØRead the full article »
Fragments of AntiquityJune 21st, 1991
All that we know of Greece has come to us in ruins ŌĆō armless, headless, faded, fallen, broken, battered, lost in trans┬Łlation. What we have are frag┬Łments, frag┬Łments that have lost almost every┬Łthing ŌĆō except their poetry. But, gener┬Łation after gener┬Łation, that poetry has never lost its thrilling, visionary gleam.Read the full article »
Dream LoversJuly 12th, 1991
When Berthe Morisot met ├ēdouard Manet at the Louvre in 1867, he was 36 years old and married; she was ten years younger and still living with her parents at home. She was lively, intel┬Łligent, charming, talented. He was bril┬Łliant, difficult, fickle, famous, fasci┬Łnating. She had long admired him from a distance; he imme┬Łdi┬Łately wanted to paint her portrait.Read the full article »
Elizabeth Vigee-LebrunJuly 19th, 1991
Madame Vigee-Lebrun revo┬Łlu┬Łtionized the portrait. She despised the powder and stiff clothes that women wore; she let their hair down, and draped them in soft, flowing shawls and painted them looking soft, dreamy, natural, alive. Her paintings helped to create a new look, a new style, a new attitude to life in pre-revolutionary Paris.Read the full article »
John Singer SargentŌĆÖs EL JALEOAugust 28th, 1991
In a dark, smoky room, a solitary dancer raises up her arm in a tense, ecstatic movement of inspi┬Łration; her other hand clutches the skirt of her dress ŌĆö a flash of white light gleaming in the dark. You can almost hear the rhythmic weeping of the guitars; you can almost feel beating of the dancerŌĆÖs tumul┬Łtuous heart.Read the full article »
Pleasures of ParisSeptember 6th, 1991
in a moment, the door will swing back shut, and the cafe will disappear, and then the street singer will vanish, into the street, into the night, never to be seen again. Only here, in this painting, where she is forever caught in the golden net of the Paris night at the moment when she stepped out through the swinging door, onto the street, and into our dreams.Read the full article »
Busch-Reisinger MuseumSeptember 14th, 1991
A crowded stage, and all the players on it. A king, wearing a crown, stabs himself in the heart. A woman looks at her reflection in a mirror, next to a statue of a Greek god. Modern men and women read the news┬Łpaper, talk, flirt, and fight with real knives. MAX BECKMANNŌĆÖs The Actors aims to encompass all of Art and Life in thick, sure slashes of paint.Read the full article »
Lazlo Moholy-NagyŌĆÖs Light-Space ModulatorOctober 4th, 1991
ŌĆ£When the ŌĆ£light propŌĆØ was set in motion for the first time in a small mechanics shop in 1930, I felt like the sorcererŌĆÖs apprentice. The mobile was so star┬Łtling in its coor┬Łdi┬Łnated motions and space artic┬Łu┬Łla┬Łtions of light and shadow sequences that I almost believed in magic.ŌĆØRead the full article »
El Corazon Sangrante/The Bleeding HeartNovember 1st, 1991
FRIDA KAHLOŌĆÖs Self-Portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird shows her in a jungle with butter┬Łflies in her hair and a hummingbird dangling from a thorn necklace that pierces her neck, drawing small red drops of blood. ŌĆ£I never painted dreams,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£I painted my own reality.ŌĆØRead the full article »
Paper Prayers/In the SpiritDecember 19th, 1991
Many of the artists here are of a gener┬Łation who rejected the conven┬Łtional comforts of orga┬Łnized religion ŌĆö and now they find them┬Łselves facing the inevitable mystery of death alone. They are re-inventing rituals that feel authentic to them and finding new ways to satisfy their spir┬Łitual needs. Paper Prayers has become one such contem┬Łporary healing ritual ŌĆö a small congre┬Łgation of artists gathered together In the Spirit.Read the full article »
Bernd and Hilla BecherDecember 21st, 1991
Bernd and Hilla Becher photographed blast furnaces, water towers, power stations, and other indus┬Łtrial struc┬Łtures, which they called ŌĆ£anonymous sculpture.ŌĆØ I thought of this show again when I first read W.G.

Camille PagliaMay 4th, 1992
ŌĆ£Moment by moment, night flickers in the imag┬Łi┬Łnation, in eroticism, subverting our strivings for virtue and order, giving an uncanny aura to objects and persons, revealed to us by artists.ŌĆØ ŌĆ£The sea, Dionysian liquid nature, is the master image in ShakespeareŌĆÖs plays. It is the wave-motion within Shake┬Łspearean speech which trans┬Łfixes the audience even when we donŌĆÖt under┬Łstand a word of it.ŌĆØRead the full article »
Working Proof: Experimental Etching StudioNovember 21st, 1992
Ten years ago, I spent a very happy summer working at Exper┬Łi┬Łmental Etching Studio, so I was delighted when the Boston Public Library invited me to help shape a conver┬Łsation among a group of artists from this extra┬Łor┬Łdinary print┬Łmaking cooperative.Read the full article »
Goddesses, Empresses, and Femmes FatalesOctober 31st, 1993
For the ancient Greeks, theater was a Dionysian ritual, and in the amphitheater of Pergamon, you can still feel that mythical intensity. The steep incline of the stone seats creates a tremendous focus of energy on the stage. When I stood at the center and sang, I felt my voice amplified, sound waves vibrating in the air.Read the full article »
The Inferno of DanteJanuary 1st, 1995
DanteŌĆÖs vision of Hell is filled with terri┬Łfying images of trans┬Łfor┬Łmation, yet its ultimate horror is its change┬Łlessness ŌĆö the unre┬Łpentant sinners whose punishment is to embody, forever, their sins. Centuries after its obscure Florentine villains have been forgotten, the poem still rings true as a drama of the inner life, because the heart of the poem is the hope that we can still be changed.Read the full article »
Dialogue: John Wilson/ Joseph NormanSeptember 1st, 1995
JOHN WILSON is a clas┬Łsi┬Łcally trained artist whose lifeŌĆÖs work has been a search for enduring, spir┬Łi┬Łtually charged images of African-Americans. JOSEPH NORMAN weaves together all kinds of imagery into elab┬Łorate compo┬Łsi┬Łtions that are elegant, yet full of feeling. ŌĆ£For both of these artists, art remains an important way to think about what it means to be human and to have an inner life.ŌĆØRead the full article »
Judy Kensley McKieDecember 2nd, 1995
Working in bronze, that most ancient and enduring of mate┬Łrials, JUDY MCKIEŌĆÖs work reveals the power of art to console and heal.

A life force.ŌĆØRead the full article »
EmmaJanuary 1st, 1996
Hollywood has fallen in love with JANE AUSTEN. Her scripts feature snappy dialogue; her plots follow the classic formula of girl meets boy; girl loses boy; girl gets boy; her story lines move deli┬Łciously from chaos and confusion to harmony and delight. The latest is EMMA, played to perfection by GWYNETH PALTROW in Wedgwood colors, Empire dresses and pearl-drop earrings.Read the full article »
BasquiatJanuary 2nd, 1996
BASQUIAT captures the artistŌĆÖs yearning and anguish, moments of bliss and the sheer physical pleasure of making art. His later descent into drugs, lone┬Łliness, confusion and despair is truly tragic ŌĆö you feel him pursued by the Furies of greed, racism, and disease, tracking him inex┬Łorably down.Read the full article »
Julian SchnabelJanuary 10th, 1996
ŌĆ£The scene when BASQUIAT is painting ŌĆö the Charlie Parker and Max Roach riff is from his record collection. ItŌĆÖs very heady at that momentŌĆ"Success is when youŌĆÖre making the work of art. The moment of perfect sonorous bliss.ŌĆØRead the full article »
Richard LinklaterFebruary 1st, 1996
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs unful┬Łfilled longing. ItŌĆÖs being young. Meet me at 20. I donŌĆÖt know what I want to do. I kind of want to write. You want to be a artist, to express whatŌĆÖs going on in your life. ItŌĆÖs a way to lose yourself in your discontent. Otherwise youŌĆÖd just go out and shoot and vandalize. Art is more internal.ŌĆØRead the full article »
Stephen McCauleyFebruary 2nd, 1996

Winslow HomerMarch 2nd, 1996
WINSLOW HOMER spent most of his life fishing and painting, reeling in the deep, unfath┬Łomable mystery of the sea. His pictures often show somebody gazing out to sea, concen┬Łtrating on some┬Łthing no one else can see. Maybe itŌĆÖs the light on the water, or the wind in the sails, or a boat coming home to shore, or just the flicker of a dream.Read the full article »
Herman MelvilleApril 1st, 1996
ŌĆ£Give me a condorŌĆÖs quill! Give me VesuviusŌĆÖ crater for an inkstand! Friends, hold my arms! For in the mere act of penning my thoughts of this Leviathan, they weary me, and make me faint with their out-reaching compre┬Łhen┬Łsiveness of sweep, as if to include the whole circle of the sciences, and all the gener┬Ła┬Łtions of whales, and men, and mastodons, past, present, and to come, with all the revolving panoramas of empire on earth, and throughout the whole universe.ŌĆØRead the full article »
Mark Morris/OrfeoApril 11th, 1996
ŌĆ£It begins with a funereal chorus in the antique style, with cornetto and trom┬Łbones. And then Orpheus comes in, lamenting his lost love, and sings one single word. Eurydice.

The Fire of HephaistosMay 1st, 1996
These ancient bronzes, which have long since lost their golden gleam, are still numinous frag┬Łments of a vanished world. One statue of young man was recently pulled out of a river; his pale sea-green body is scratched and scarred; but he is still a lovely apparition, reminding me of some lines from ShakespeareŌĆÖs ŌĆ£The TempestŌĆØ:
ŌĆ£Nothing of him that doth fade
But doth suffer a sea change
Into some┬Łthing rich and strange.ŌĆØ
Object as Insight: Japanese Buddhist Art and RitualJune 1st, 1996
Bodhisattvas with serene, all-embracing smiles; golden flower baskets for carrying lotus petals to purify a sacred space; ritual bronze chimes adorned with peacocks.

Larissa PonomarenkoJuly 1st, 1996
Ballet is all artifice; but she makes even the Snow QueenŌĆÖs dazzling, delicate swirls seem easy and natural. From a distance, she seems fragile, ethereal.

Brain OperaJuly 2nd, 1996
The beau┬Łtiful, beloved voice of LORRAINE HUNT began to rise and spread out through the room, in sweet, sad layers of sound, accom┬Łpanied by a visual chorus of flashing colored lights, magi┬Łcally trans┬Łforming the empty, mechanical space into a few moments of unearthly beauty.Read the full article »
Aretha Franklin/ Diana RossAugust 2nd, 1996
When I was young, ARETHA FRANKLIN and DIANA ROSS repre┬Łsented the two poles of womenŌĆÖs expe┬Łrience. DianaŌĆÖs sweet, lyrical voice cele┬Łbrated a womanŌĆÖs capacity to abandon herself completely to love. ArethaŌĆÖs ŌĆ£RespectŌĆØ was the ultimate expression of a womanŌĆÖs righteous anger and self-respect.

A Midsummer NightŌĆÖs DreamSeptember 12th, 1996
ShakespeareŌĆÖs A Midsummer NightŌĆÖs Dream is about a royal wedding, lovers lost in an enchanted forest, magic spells, and fairy sprites. But mostly it is about imag┬Łi┬Łnation.

Boston Baroque: Abduction from the SeraglioMay 21st, 1998
MozartŌĆÖs early opera, ABDUCTION FROM THE SERAGLIO starts out light and comic, grad┬Łually grows deeper, more melodic, and more profound, and ends in perfect harmony. He wrote in 1781, at the age of 25, bringing together elements of high art and melo┬Łdrama into a new form that tran┬Łscends them both.

He was the preem┬Łinent portrait painter of his day, and he gave it all up to paint land┬Łscapes. His private life is a mystery. His brushwork is still dazzling.

Navy Suspends U.S.S. Enterprise Captain for Raunchy, Homophobic Videos
Owen Honors's subordinates defend their captain on Facebook.
The Navy has responded swiftly to videos that surfaced this weekend made by Captain Owen Honors. The videos, which Honors aired on the aircraft carrier's closed-circuit television system on movie nights back in 2006 and 2007, depict profanity-laced skits where Honors repeatedly used gay slurs, showed sailors in drag miming masturbation, and simulated a rectal exam. Not to worry, ladies, he was an equal opportunity offender and also included a scene of "chicks in the shower," which he described as "his favorite topic," naturally. Gay-rights groups have come out in support of the military's condemnation of the videos, and ABC News reports that Honors, who was promoted after the videos aired, will be relieved of his duty pending investigation. The debate over Honors's actions has taken over the U.S.S. Enterprise's public Facebook page, with the majority coming out in support of the videos, calling them a lighthearted morale booster to make sailors laugh during extended deployment, something civilians couldn't understand.
But the videos themselves offer evidence that even back then, at least some of Honors's subordinates expressed their distaste toward the skits. In one (below), Honors, who appears side-by-side through video magic with two of his "alternate personalities" — one wearing a Top Gun outfit and the other a gay surface warfare officer — says:
Over the years I've gotten several complaints about inappropriate material during these videos--never to me personally, but gutlessly through other channels. This evening all of you bleeding hearts and you fag SWO boy why don't you just go ahead and hug yourself for the next twenty minutes or so because there's a really good chance you're going to be offended.
It's still unclear why or how the videos surfaced four to five years later, or, for that matter, what a high-ranking Navy officer's workload consists of that he had enough time on his hands to star in these lengthy skits while the ship was supporting two theaters of war.

These Thanksgiving charms are perfect for the holiday. You can attach them to wine glass for your guests during the holiday or you can make a necklace out of it. Use your imagination and create something great.These make for some great Thanksgiving crafts to make.
- Thanksgiving designs or a creative imagination
- Shrink Art or PolyShrink ( find polyshrink at www.luckysquirrel.com)
- Heat proof pad if using a heating gun
- Colored pencils or markers
- Heating gun or oven
- Jump rings
- Sandpaper
- Needle nose pliers
- Narrow ribbon
- Hole puncher
- Scissors
Using the sandpaper, rough up the sheet of plastic before you draw your design.
Draw your design at least half the size bigger than you want it to be. Most plastics will shrink down about 45%.
Cut around your design. Be sure to leave enough room to punch holes at the top. Punch several holes at the top. Remember the hole will shrink too!
If using the oven follow the directions from the manufacturer. I used a heat gun and a Teflon pad. Hold the gun over the plastic until it uncurls from the heat. You may need to flatten it a bit. Becareful it's hot.
Add a jump ring to the hole then ribbon.
- Tie your charm to your glass. Hang it from a necklace or use it to make anything else you can think of!

A loan move until the summer would cost Juve €1.5 million and, should they then take up an option to sign him permanently, they would pay another €3.5m.
The 28-year-old can play either in the centre of defence or on the left. With Giorgio Chiellini out for three months through injury and Lucio having rescinded his Juve contract to join Sao Paulo, his arrival would be welcomed by coach Antonio Conte.
Peluso, who has three caps for Italy, joined Atalanta in 2009 from AlbinoLeffe.

|Advances in the determination of degradation intermediates of personal care products in environmental matrixes: A review
|Matamoros, Víctor; Jover, Eric; Bayona Termens, Josep María
|Issue Date:
|Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry 393 (3) : 847-860 (2009)
|In this review, recent methods developed for the determination of degradation intermediates of personal care products in environmental matrixes focusing on the extraction and determination steps are discussed. The five classes of personal care products evaluated are stimulants, fragrances, sunscreens, antimicrobials, and insect repellents. Methods are critically reviewed in terms of the analytical steps involved in the analysis, sample pretreatment, separation, and detection as well as the different confirmation strategies employed. Preconcentration from aqueous matrixes was performed by solid-phase extraction, liquid-liquid extraction, or solid-phase microextraction, allowing the simultaneous extraction of parent compounds and their degradation intermediates. Following the extraction and cleanup steps, the identification and quantification of degradation intermediates of personal care products at environmental levels (i.e., parts per trillion to parts per billion range) is usually performed by using mass spectrometry techniques such as single quadrupole mass spectrometry and more recently by time-of-flight mass spectrometry or tandem mass spectrometry. The main scope of this review is to critically evaluate the current state of the art of the analytical techniques used and to identify the research needs in the determination of degradation intermediates of personal care products in environmental matrixes. © 2008 Springer-Verlag.

Insider Tips: The X Window System
Thanks to automatic hardware detection, today's admins rarely need to configure the X window system manually. But if you want to use X11's excellent networking capabilities and tuning options, you will certainly benefit from some background knowledge.
Linux continues to spread to more and more ex-Windows desktops. A major factor in the success of Linux is the availability of easy-to-use desktops and applications. This abundance of software, however, means that bona fide admins must spend more time setting up the underlying tools that handle mouse and keyboard controls, graphics, and screen output for those applications. The X server is the component that underlies almost any graphical output on Linux. The major exceptions to this are the console and the SVGA-Lib [2] library, a legacy library that supports direct image output on Linux systems. The X server itself provides primitive routines for displaying windowing hierarchies. X server also provides simple hardware acceleration, as well as offering components that support keyboard and mouse handling.

Completely Disappointed
Not only does this App cost a lot of money, it's map display quality is extremely poor when zooming in (fuzzy and out of focus) and there is an endless distraction of advertisements showing up at the bottom of the screen. Also, there is an annoyance of the display jumping around and suddenly changing to a zoomed out scale when trying to zoom in!!! This App is so bad that iTunes should really consider blocking it.

This paper proposes a novel power-supply scheme suitable for 0.5-V operating silicon-on-insulator (SOI) CMOS circuits. The system contains an on-chip buck DC-DC converter with over 90% efficiency, 0.5-V operating logic circuits, 100-MHz operating flip-flops at 0.5-V power supply, and level converters for the interface between the 0.5-V operating circuit and on-chip digital-to-analog (D/A) converters or external equipment. Based on the theory, the values of on-resistance and threshold voltage of SOI transistors are clarified for the 0.5-V/10-mW output DC-DC converter, which satisfies both high efficiency and low standby power. The proposed flip-flop can hold the data during the sleep with the use of the external power supply, while maintaining high performance during the active. The level converter comprises dual-rail charge transfer gates and a CMOS buffer with a cross-coupled nMOS amplifier to operate with high speed even in a conversion gain of higher than 6, where the conversion gain is defined as the ratio of the output and input signal swings. The test chip was fabricated for the 0.5-V power supply scheme by using multi-Vth SOI CMOS technology. The experimental results showed that the buck DC-DC converter achieved a conversion efficiency of 91% at 0.5-V/10-mW output with stable recovery characteristics from the sleep, and that the dual-rail level converter operated with a maximum data rate of 300 Mb/s with the input signal swing of 0.5 V.

Exeter, UK
Earlier this year, it was announced that the Simon West-directed sequel to Lionsgate's action star-palooza Expendables would sport a PG-13 rating instead of the R that the original so firmly earned. Lately, though, rumblings about the sequel moving back to its violent and bloody roots have been heard. Empire talked to star Dolph Lundgren, who said he's been hearing the same things.
"I heard that it's now R again," he said. "Stallone's basic setting is to make it very violent. That's just in his personality, and if it was me I would do the same. I guess the producers figure they can make another $50m if it's PG-13, and if it was my money I might say the same thing! But I think for the fans, if it's tougher it's better."
Lundgren went on to say that Chuck Norris, who joins the franchise with this sequel, has his own editor to cut the film down to whatever rating he might want.
Expendables 2 brings mercenaries Stallone, Lundgren, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Randy Couture and Terry Crews back together, and adds Norris, Jean-Claude Van Damme and Liam Hemmsworth. Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger, who both had cameos in the original, will also return in larger roles. The film opens Aug. 17.
Expendables 2 is rated CN, for Chuck Norris, which means that no one can watch it because the ammount of awesomeness will blow their mind… ok, that sucks. I'm not good at making Norris jokes, heh.
My favourite Chuck Norris fact:
Chuck Norris invented the internet, broke the internet in half, put it back together, and broke it again, because he's Chuck Norris and he can do whatever he wants.
And for the comic-geeks:
Chuck Norris once made a bet with the Hulk – the loser had to paint himself green.
When Bruce Banner gets mad he turns into the Hulk.
When the Hulk gets mad he turns into Chuck Norris.
Chuck Norris nearly killed this film, what a nerd.

Gough backs Mahmood bid
Darren Gough is in no doubt Sajid Mahmood has all the right credentials to be an England strike bowler for many years to come.
Twenty-five-year-old Mahmood, expected to be back playing for Lancashire later this month after a double hernia operation, has so far played eight Tests and 25 one-day internationals.
Gough, England's most successful limited-overs bowler, is not advocating Mahmood should necessarily be fast-tracked back into his country's one-day plans.
But speaking after a second successive washout in the Roses match at Old Trafford, the Yorkshire captain nominated the Lancastrian as a significant international player of the future.
"If England need a strike bowler and (Steve) Harmison is not playing (in one-day cricket) then Sajid Mahmood is obviously the next one," he said. "He needs to step up to the next level now.
"But he's got everything; he bowls at 90mph; he has a good slower ball - and he takes wickets.
"Unfortunately at the minute, he goes for a few too many (runs). But he has all the tools you need to be a good strike bowler for England in one-day cricket."
Gough's prescription for Mahmood's rehabilitation is a return to county colours to continue his learning curve.
"He has to work hard and play a bit more domestic one-day stuff for his county," said the 36-year-old, who confirmed he too is still available for limited-overs internationals.
"When he's bowling well he's as good as anyone. But when you're just playing Test cricket and one-day internationals you don't get a chance to really learn your game ... Saj needs to do that."
Meanwhile, Gough is remaining optimistic some meaningful action in the Roses clash may still be possible, but ruled out the possibility of a one-innings match which would take place should no play be possible before the start of the final session on Tuesday.
"We're hoping it doesn't rain again, leave the covers off overnight and hope to get two days' cricket - because both teams obviously need to get runs and wickets," he reported.

UPDATE 2:46pm- The Dothan Police Department has made an arrest of a person wanted in a fatal hit and run accident Tuesday night.
• Ladarius Ward, black male, 21 years of age, of Keating Road was arrested and charged with Leaving the Scene of an Accident with Injuries with bond being established later today.
Dothan Police are searching for the driver of a car involved in a fatal hit and run last night.
About 7:30 last night, a motorcycle traveling west bound in the 3600 block of the Ross Clark Circle.
Investigators say at 2003 Mitsubishi Galant pulled onto the Circle from a driveway into the path of the motorcycle.
The motorcycle collided with the car and the driver landed in the road.
Police say the man was then hit by a 2001 Ford Expedition that was unable to avoid him.
The motorcyclist was taken to the hospital but later died.
The investigation into the crash is ongoing and the name of the victim is expected to be released after all appropriate notifications are made.
Witnesses first told police that both drivers had fled the scene... but the driver of the Expedition contacted police immediately after the crash and is not expected to face any charges.
Investigators are still searching for the driver of the Mitsubishi and are talking to witnesses.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Dothan Police Department.
