<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 28px;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It has been twenty five years since the biggest art theft in history was pulled off at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">On Thursday, the U.S. Attorney’s Office released a newly discovered video taken the night before the heist, and is asking the public to help identify one of the two individuals captured in the footage. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The six-minute video, shows an unidentified man enter the museum at 12:49 a.m. on March 17, 1990. At almost exactly the same time on March 18, thieves dressed as Boston Police officers entered the same door, handcuffed two museum guards, and left with 13 pieces of art now valued at over $500 million, according to law enforcement officials. The museum has since offered a $5 million reward for information leading to the return of the stolen art. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Over three decades, Isabella Stewart Gardner traveled the world and worked with important art patrons and advisors Bernard Berenson and Okakura Kakuzo to amass a remarkable collection of master and decorative arts. In 1903, she completed the construction of Fenway Court in Boston to house her collection and provide a vital place for Americans to access and enjoy important works of art. Isabella Gardner installed her collection of works in a way to evoke intimate responses to the art, mixing paintings, furniture, textiles, and objects from different cultures and periods among well-known European paintings and sculpture.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">She spent a year carefully installing her collection according to her personal aesthetic. The eclectic gallery installations from different periods and cultures combine to create a rich, complex and unique narrative. The museum was opened in 1903 with a grand opening celebration featuring a performance by members of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_Symphony_Orchestra" style="background-image: none; text-decoration: none;" title="Boston Symphony Orchestra">Boston Symphony Orchestra</a> and a menu that included champagne and doughnuts.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum's preeminent collection contains more than 2,500 paintings, sculptures, tapestries, furniture, manuscripts, rare books and decorative arts. The galleries house works by some of the most recognized artists in the world, including Titian, Rembrandt, Michelangelo, Raphael, Botticelli, Manet, Degas, Whistler and Sargent. The spirit of the architecture, the personal character of the arrangements and the artistic display of the enchanting courtyard in full bloom all create an atmosphere that distinguishes the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum as an intimate and culturally-rich treasure.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px; text-align: start;">Isabella Stewart Gardner amassed the bulk of her collection in a remarkably short period of time. Like many wealthy Americans, the Gardners bought paintings and objects to decorate their home. In the 1880s, Isabella Stewart Gardner attended lectures on art history and readings of Dante given by Charles Eliot Norton at Harvard College. This sparked a passion for Dante, and Isabella Gardner began to buy rare editions by the writer. She became a serious collector of Dutch and Italian pictures in the 1890s. Beginning in 1894, Bernard Berenson, then a young art historian, started to recommend Italian paintings for acquisition. He was just as new at this as Gardner was, but within two years he had guided her towards a collection that included Botticelli's </span><a href="http://www.gardnermuseum.org/collection/artwork/2nd_floor/raphael_room/the_tragedy_of_lucretia" style="color: #4a4a4a; line-height: 17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Lucretia</span></a><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px; text-align: start;">, Titian's </span><a href="http://www.gardnermuseum.org/collection/artwork/3rd_floor/titian_room/europa" style="color: #4a4a4a; line-height: 17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Europa</span></a><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px; text-align: start;">, Vermeer's </span><a href="http://www.gardnermuseum.org/collection/artwork/2nd_floor/dutch_room/the_concert" style="color: #4a4a4a; line-height: 17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The Concert</span></a><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px; text-align: start;">, and Rembrandt's </span><a href="http://www.gardnermuseum.org/collection/artwork/2nd_floor/dutch_room/self-portrait_aged_23" style="color: #4a4a4a; line-height: 17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Self-Portrait</span></a><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px; text-align: start;">.

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Isabella Stewart Gardner disliked the cold, mausoleum-like spaces of most American museums of the period. As a result, she designed Fenway Court around a central courtyard filled with flowers. Light enters the galleries from the courtyard and from exterior windows, creating an atmospheric setting for works of art. Love of art, not knowledge about the history of art, was her aim. Her friends noted that the entire Museum was a work of art in itself. Individual objects became part of a rich, complex and intensely personal setting.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The Museum also provides personal glimpses into the sensibilities and personality of Isabella Stewart Gardner, poignant testaments to her personal tragedies and triumphs. The loss of her only child at the age of two is suggested in the Spanish Chapel, opposite John Singer Sargent's <a href="http://www.gardnermuseum.org/collection/artwork/1st_floor/spanish_cloister/el_jaleo" style="color: #4a4a4a; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">El Jaleo</span></a> (1882), a painting that celebrates the excitement of life. Titian's <span style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Europa</span> (1561-1562) hangs above a piece of pale green silk, which had been cut from one of Isabella Stewart Gardner's gowns designed by Charles Frederic Worth. Throughout the collection, similar stories, intimate portrayals, and discoveries abound.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.45; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

The sense of vitality and artistic flair that she found in Venice - and by which she lived her life - is eloquently captured in Zorn's <span style="margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Isabella Stewart Gardner in Venice</span>, 1894. Painted in the Palazzo Barbaro, the portrait captures the moment when Isabella Stewart Gardner, watching fireworks from a balcony, stood in the doorway, arms outstretched and invited her guests to join her to watch the display. Today, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum's historic collection remains as Gardner created it, a collection of intimate effect and ongoing inspiration for visual, musical and horticultural innovation and scholarly thinking.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Bullfighting, as Mr. <b>Hemingway</b> says, "a decadent art in every way," is an art, indeed, "if it were permanent it could be one of the major arts." It does not seem absurd to Mr. Hemingway to compare it with sculpture and painting, or to set Joselito and Belmonte side by side with Velazquez and Goya, Cervantes and Lope de Vega, Shakespeare and Marlow. Even such refined elements as the line of the matador's body at the critical instant or the "composition" of bull and man enter into the intelligent "aficionado's" enjoyment. Bull-fighting is thus presented as an art heightened by the presence of death and, if the spectator can project himself into the matador's place, in the terror of death. For even the best matadors have their moments of fear - even their days and seasons of fear.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Some try to link Spanish bullfighting to the Roman circus and even further back to Minoan bull-leaping but this is probably stretching it a bit. What I think it really boiled down to was battle and horses. In the not so distant past the aristocracy liked to fight and always from back of a horse. If rider and steed were not a quick and nimble combination the chances were they both died on the battlefield. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">To practice, Spanish nobles clubbed together (the clubs still exist today, in Sevilla or Ronda, for example) to organise competitions amongst themselves, usually in their town’s main square. There was nothing unusual in this; competitions like these have been around for as long as people have ridden horses. It’s just that at some point bulls were thrown into the mix, which definitely was a departure. A loose, and slightly grumpy, bull was an excellent way to test horse and rider under pressure. The horse had to remain surefooted and his noble rider calm as they showed off their bravery and skill by riding circles around the bull, inches away from its horns. A safety net was provided: Servants were on standby on the sides to distract the bull when things got too hot – or went wrong. No doubt the servants waved around their hats or capes to catch the bull’s attention when necessary.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Sometime in the early 1700s <b>King Felipe V </b>banned nobles from fighting bulls. Apparently Felipe disapproved and thought it set a bad example to the masses. The Pope agreed. It is more likely too many of Felipe’s nobles were getting killed. It was at the time of this ban that the men on the ground started to become the main attraction. Waving around their cape developed eventually into a system of stylized passes, each with its own name, like the “veronica“; traditions were born and bullfighting gained a life of its own. In time, however fighting bulls from the back of a horse did return, which means there are two broad forms of bullfighting in Spain. The “corrida de toros“, where the bull is fought by a men on their feet and the “corrida de rejones” where it is done from a horse. The majority of bullfights, by far, are “corridas de toros”. There are also minor variations to both forms, but generally they follow the same format. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Some say bullfighting is a sport. Others say it is an art form. In Spain the bullfights are reported in the culture section of the newspapers – next to the book reviews. However there is scoreboard in bullfighting – the “escalafon” – where the number of ears and tails a bullfighter has been awarded through the season are chalked up, so you could say it is a kind of sport. But is it art? Bullfighting certainly has aspects of an art form. The stylized passes with the cape can be expressed in a certain way, a bit like expressing something through dance. Some people find the passes beautiful to look at and ballet-like. Others simply see a self-important ponce prancing about in tight pants. The bullfight certainly carries a lot of cultural baggage, like the “pasodobles” you will hear played at bullfights. There is plainly a cross pollination between Flamenco culture and bullfighting culture. In the south of Spain especially, the connection with the spring fairs – the Ferias is obvious. When one thinks of Spanish culture, it’s hard not to include bullfighting in that mental picture</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">The Association of Photographers' Student Awards have been announced with Jordi Ruiz Cirera from London College of Communications named as the 2012 Student Photographer of the Year</span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3a4041; line-height: 17px;"><div style="color: #363636; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 12px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 12px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; width: 465px;">
Ruiz Cirera's series of portraits of members of the Mennonite communities in Eastern Bolivia won him the top prize. The Mennonites emigrated to Bolivia in the 50s hoping to be able to preserve their traditional lifestyle away from the trappings of the 20th century. "This series of portraits intends to showcase the relations and the family roles within the Mennonite community, as well as their deep isolation from contemporary society," says Ruiz Cirera.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Peter Mendelsund isn't generally known as a designer who makes garish book covers. But in his recent designs for three late works by Simone de Beauvoir, he's done exactly that. And for good reason...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">His covers for de Beauvoir's memoirs Adieux and A Very Easy Death, and the novella collection The Woman Destroyed apparently reference the look of the handmade protest posters seen on the streets of Paris in 1968.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Bringing the look up to date, the lettering has the quality of freshly daubed marker pen, while the illustrations are in bright blocky colours – the messy imagery on The Woman Destroyed reminiscent of an early MS Paint application.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">"I wanted a style that had a certain directness – and I liked the idea of co-opting the visual language of revolution for a writer who was nothing if not (philosophically, politically) revolutionary," writes Mendelsund on his blog Jacket Mechanical. "Also the style is more or less temporally and geographically correct. The simplicity of the style made it possible for me, with my limited skills, to make them myself."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">This is an unusual direction for Mendelsund who, as an associate art director at Knopf in the US, has a reputation for producing some quite beautiful and elegant book covers for writers such as Michel Foucault, Roberto Calasso and Franz Kafka (whose entire works he recovered in 2010 – we reported on the series, here).</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">On his blog, Mendelsund writes that his work for the de Beauvoir project sought to be both brash and attractive at the same time. "I've certainly made ugly covers before; and I hope that I've made pretty ones," he writes. "But it's the coexistence of both attributes that makes me happy here."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Mendelsund also prefaces his explanation of the cover direction with a smart essay on the relationship between de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Satre, using a single photograph of the couple as his starting point.</span></div>
