British Museum, London Picasso defiled the refined genre of fine art prints with brutal images of violence and desecration, in one case portraying a bearded artist relaxing with his best mate the Minotaur Pablo Picasso had a lot on, from shattering the western pictorial tradition with cubism to making sculptures from string and gloves. Why did he also produce a lifetime’s worth of fine art prints? Right through this show we see how he took on this refined genre in order to defile it, rubbing art history in the muck while giving it perverse, indestructible new life. The desecration begins with his 1905 print Salomé. Herod watches dead-eyed as Salomé dances naked, but Picasso lets us see more than the Biblical King as Salomé raises her left leg high in the air like a dancer at the Moulin Rouge. Already Picasso is depicting the body, as he said he wanted to, “like a blind man who pictures an arse by the way it feels”. Continue reading... from The Guardian https://ift.tt/5SogsmM via

The former president faces an investigation by the international criminal court for crimes against humanity over the alleged extrajudicial killing of thousands of drug suspects Soon after his election in 2016, Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte launched his so-called “war on drugs”, a bloody campaign in which as many as 30,000 civilians were killed. Most of the victims were men from poor, urban areas, who were gunned down in the streets or their homes by police, or in some cases, unidentified assailants.

‘We got dragged into the game Newcastle wanted’ Manager refuses to concede that title race is over Mikel Arteta had no complaints about his side’s defeat at Newcastle but refused to concede that the title race is all but over. “I am very frustrated, we deserved to lose today,” said Arsenal’s manager after Alexander Isak’s fine first-half header secured Eddie Howe’s team a first win in six Premier League games. “We got dragged into the game Newcastle wanted and not the one we wanted. But you have to be at your best in every game to give you a chance to win.” Continue reading... from The Guardian https://ift.tt/syu2PKU via IFTTT

Multiple anonymous complaints about Peanut – also spelled P’Nut or PNUT – brought at least six officers from the state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) to Mark Longo’s home on Wednesday, Longo said.

A cast recording for the souped-up train musical is released, Michael Sheen plays the NHS hero at the National and David Hare delivers his Covid memoir “Tonight is the most important night in the history of the world!” That announcement in the overture might be a lot of hot air, but director Luke Sheppard’s souped-up Wembley Park revival of the railroad-race musical is a lot of fun even without the skates on. The cast recording, featuring new rap Hydrogen, redefined characters and fresh orchestrations by Matthew Brind and Andrew Lloyd Webber, is released on 8 November . Highlights include Jeevan Braich, who makes his professional acting debut as Rusty, giving a shining version of Crazy. Continue reading... from The Guardian https://ift.tt/c0GqK4g via IFTTT

Noël Coward theatre, London Adding a fourth role to Peter Sellers’ three turns in the classic film, the comic excels in a fun yet unadventurous adaptation Stanley Kubrick’s 1964 satire, about cold war brinkmanship tipping into nuclear conflict, seemed to be a vehicle for Peter Sellers to showboat in three central roles. It might have ended up like Carry On … to Armageddon but with the combined genius of Kubrick and Sellers rocketed into the film canon. It takes a confident – foolish? – team to tamper with a work quite so revered, and so suited to the screen. How, for instance, do you turn the legendary scene of a pilot riding a careering nuclear warhead into credible theatre? This production achieves the dubious feat of turning an edgy, absurdist story into broad entertainment with accessible laughs, along with a few topical references and excellent performances all round.

Face-to-face military confrontation on each other’s soil has now been normalised For years, Israel and Iran have waged a “shadow war”, attacking each other indirectly using proxy forces, assassinations, informants, spies and hybrid, non-military covert means. Now this undeclared, largely silent war is undisguisedly out in the open. It’s become a shooting war, it’s noisy, it’s escalating, and there’s no end in sight. This is not to say Israel’s large-scale, three-wave air assault on Tehran and other targets inside Iran early on Saturday morning means the two enemies are now engaged in all-out conflict. This is not yet the full-scale, region-wide conflagration so many in the Middle East fear. That may be coming, but it’s still in the future.

British boxer wins super-lightweight fight in Manchester Judges score 116-109, 116-109, 117-110 in Catterall’s favour Jack Catterall took a significant step towards finally becoming a world champion when he beat Regis Prograis in a strange and messy 12–round super-lightweight contest. Catterall sealed his victory by lopsided and generous scores of 116-109, twice, and 117-10 over the former two-time world champion. A fight in which a chess match turned into a slugfest featured three knockdowns, the first scored by Prograis, as well as wild swings and misses with both boxers slipping and tumbling to the canvas. Prograis also seemed to hurt his ankle and leg near the end of the bout and the American was as gracious as he was philosophical as his own career appears to have ended in Manchester.

Dodgers host Yankees in Game 1 of Fall Classic Send David a tweet at @LengelDavid or email him The rosters The 26-man rosters featured some changes to both teams. Infielder John Berti was left off the Yankees roster after getting some time at first base this postseason. In his place is Nestor Cortes, an all-star staring pitcher who has been sidelined since September 25th with a elbow injury thought to be season ending. Should it go wrong for the 29-year-old, he could find himself sidelined next season, but he’s “all in for the chip.” Cortes will be a valuable lefty in the bullpen, having gone through rehab and passed a fitness test of a 29-pitch simulated game. New York will have 13 pitchers and 13 position players on their roster. Continue reading... from The Guardian https://ift.tt/OhLcSw4 via IFTTT
