  4. Gripping return to the Lindbergh kidnapping

    So many 20th-century murders were dubbed "The Crime of the Century" that erstwhile Chicago playwright-turned-Academy-Award-nominated screenwriter John Logan could have made a career from that carnival of mayhem alone &mdash; perhaps as a decade-by-decade, true-crime version of August Wilson's celebrated cycle of plays on the African-American experience. As it is, Logan (who won the Tony Award for "Red," his portrait of Mark Rothko, and more recently penned the screenplay for "Skyfall") first won local acclaim in 1986 with "Never the Sinner," based on the 1920s Leopold and Loeb case, followed the next year by his portrait of the German immigrant executed for the kidnapping and murder of the Lindbergh baby in the 1930s.

  5. Baltimore Museum of Art mounts exhibit of 20th-century avant-garde painter Max Weber

    Baltimore helped the avant-garde painter Max Weber forge a national reputation in 1915. Now, nearly 100 years later, this could be the city where the late artist begins his long-overdue comeback.

  6. Drawn and Quarteted: Artists Find a 'Landing Place' in T.S. Eliot's Poetry

    When T.S. Eliot was completing his cycle of poems called <em>The Four Quartets</em> in 1942, German bombs were falling near where he worked in London. Given the setting and his own often inscrutable intellectualism, this work &mdash; six years in the making &mdash; was something of a miracle, and now considered one of the finest achievements in 20th century verse.

  7. City Lights: There's more to the soccer ball than meets the eye

    When I was a graduate student in England, I once attended a soccer game &mdash; or football, as they call it most everywhere but here.

  8. At the Goodman Theatre, a taut canvas streaked with 'Red'

    THEATER REVIEW: "Red" at the Goodman Theatre &#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#189; ... Of all the sacred monsters of the art world, surely none was as discomfited by a flat, still canvas as Mark Rothko.
    Of all the sacred monsters of the art world, surely none was as discomfited by a flat, still canvas as Mark Rothko. If you were to distill this formidable abstract-expressionist painter down to two words — folly, I know — you could do worse...

  9. New museums to marvel over in Amsterdam, Rome and Paris

    In a wide-ranging trip to Europe this year, I found three major new museums to love: in Amsterdam, the first satellite branch of Russia's celebrated Hermitage; in Rome, a long-awaited museum for contemporary arts that is a work of art itself; and in Paris, a picture gallery with a constantly changing program of special exhibitions meant to shake up the enterprise of art appreciation.

  12. Jonathan Epstein shines as Mark Rothko in John Logan's Red at Hartford's TheaterWorks

    It's 1958. Painter Mark Rothko is at the height of his fame, and has accepted one of the most ambitious commissions of the 20th century: to create a series of large canvases for the prestigious Four Seasons restaurant in the new Seagram Building designed by iconic architect Philip Johnson. Should he do it? The money's great, yes, but do his contemplative abstracts belong in such a consumerist and commercial venue? Putting them there, do they simply become big versions of "over mantels," decorative pieces secondary to the function of the room, designed, effectively, to match the couch? What is art for? This is the dilemma at the heart of <em>RED</em>, the 2010-Tony-Award-winning play by John Logan, currently in a terrific production at TheaterWorks.
