ART HISTORY
Pictures by Women, Museum of Modern Art, New York
If a museum tried to narrate the entire history of painting, sculpture or architecture using only work by women, the result would be a fitful, idiosyncratic show bearing little resemblance to textbook chronicles. It would barely graze history painting, skip portraits of the powerful almost entirely, stint on marble statues, and pick up momentum only in the past half-century.

"What do you see?" painter Mark Rothko (Alfred Molina) asks in the opening line of John Logan's new drama, "Red." It indeed is the central question, as this fascinating theatrical depiction of this complex figure at work should easily make audiences re-evaluate their notions about the artistic process.

‘Holy Russia’ at Louvre explores 700 years of art history
Some 20 years ago, the new exhibition at the Louvre in Paris would have been unthinkable.

It is easy to imagine how someone becomes an art expert, how one could grow in knowledge on the structural use of color in Matisse's paintings or the rise of kinetic art among Latin American artists living in Paris in the 1960s. This makes a kind of sense to those outside the art world.
