(File Photo | PTI) Grief, anger, frustration and cynicism are colliding in personal and public space and the convergence has left millions afraid and alone, fearful and lonesome. The vignettes of angst and anxiety streaming onto mobile devices are vivid. The magnitude of the surge and the resultant crisis is manifest in the data and the images. On Friday, India recorded 2,34,692 cases and 1341 fatalities that is 162 cases every minute and a death nearly every minute. To get a sense of the surge consider this: In just 60 days, the count of active cases has shot over ten times from 1.38 lakh to 16.7 lakh between February 16 ....
comments Turkey has a no kill, no capture law towards all its stray animals, including the 100,000 dogs that roam the streets of Istanbul. From 2017 to 2019, documentarian Elizabeth Lo focused her lens on three Zeytin, Nazar and Kartal and, with a quiet compassion, assesses what their lives say about the human condition and how we treat each other in her new film Stray.

(I’m acquainted with Aretino from a bounteous 2012 biography, “Titian: His Life,” by Sheila Hale.) Turning to the Bellini (circa 1476-1478), we behold St. Francis standing outside his cave in a rustic landscape with meadowed sheep nearby and mountains and noble buildings in the distance. He looks skyward and holds out his open hands i ....
Sixty-two cultural figures have contributed a text about their favourite work of art in the Frick Collection for a new publication, The Sleeve Should Be Illegal & Other Reflections on Art at the Frick. The book, published this month, was brought together in part to mark last year’s 85th anniversary of the much-loved New York museum, which houses the Old Masters collection amassed by the 19th-century industrialist Henry Clay Frick. The publication takes its title from one of the texts written by the US novelist Jonathan Lethem, who describes the sumptuous sleeve of Sir Thomas More, depicted in Hans Holbein the Younger’s 1527 portrait, as “ecstasy, the sleeve should be illegal, the sleeve was Utopia”. ....
