His entirely undefensive, marvelously buoyant book tells the history of connoisseurship with references to Giovanni Morelli, Roberto Longhi, Bernard Berenson, and some other more recent figures, many of them female, who have made significant attributions of European old master drawings and paintings.
|

The original Star Wars trilogy's Jabba the Hutt is so marvelously, viscerally disgusting because of the genius of the film's puppeteers — a genius brought painfully home when George Lucas inserted an ill-conceived, rubbery CGI Jabba into later editions of the films.
|
|
Phelim McDermott's production of Philip Glass's "Akhnaten" — originally for the English National Opera in 2016, and expected for the Met in fall 2019 — evokes the two-dimensional tableaus of Egyptian art while making them vibrate and ripple with marvelously judicious musical effect.
|
|

|
|

|
|
The 1870 score — a marvel of melody, orchestration and brio — is by Léo Delibes; one of the passages in which it most marvelously marries lively characterization to formal perfection is the Slav theme and variations, in which Swanilda and her chums just dance.
|
|
In its marvelously acted first half, Ben Is Back feels like it could swerve at any moment into horror, largely because of the contrast between Holly's denial and the tense caution of some of the other family members, like Ben's sister Ivy (Kathryn Newton).
|
|
The role of Titania beautifully showcases dissimilar dancers: young Miriam Miller, with face and limbs registering wonderfully throughout the theater, is all springtime bloom; Teresa Reichlen, marvelously incisive and exact, is warmly imperious; Sara Mearns, at her freshest and grandest, makes the dance joyously voluptuous.
|
|
Since last fall we've been casually crushing on rising LA singer Gallant—purveyor of low-lit R&B—fabulous on his own, sure, but now he's applied his dexterous falsetto to this marvelously mellow tune, "Skipping Stones," luring in Jhené Aiko for a sultry duet.
|
|
And consider the starting pitchers in the championship game: Puerto Rico's Seth Lugo grew up in Cajun country in Louisiana, and Marcus Stroman, who marvelously spun six no-hit innings for the United States, once expressed hope of pitching for Puerto Rico in this tournament.
|
|
Polonsky's illustrations, richly detailed and sensitively rendered, work marvelously to fill in the gaps, allowing an image or a facial expression to stand in for the missing text and also providing context about Anne's historical circumstances that is, for obvious reasons, absent from the original.
|
|
You might be able to find a moral about the thin line between those whose opinions we inherently respect and those whose opinions we inherently distrust in the marvelously nerve-rattling "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet" (season five, episode three; scripted by Matheson and directed by Richard Donner).
|
|
Here are a few moments that, once I discovered them, I've needed to revisit: The Thomas Edison clip below, from "The Passing Show," only a few seconds long at an odd speed — but yes, from back in 1894 — conjures a whole world of marvelously informal flair.
|
|
The spectacular makeup of the Kalamandalam players, their brightly formal costumes, the fabulous grotesquerie of their demonic characters (and the often cacophonous din of the percussion music accompanying them): These were marvelously intense, though that music seemed to take many aback, as did the story's goriness.
|
|
As yet another ballerina pauses on flat feet to prepare for a multiple pirouette, her features show an expression of goggle-eyed terror: It lasts less than a second, the pirouette goes just fine, and she sweetly resumes the marvelously long, complex phrases of her dance.
|
|
When I started documenting the lolita subculture, I quickly realized that every lolita I met was marvelously unique not only in the specific intricate outfits they chose to wear that day—or "coords" as they're referred to in the fashion—but also in who they were as people.
|
|
We are allowed to pine for that simpler time before swaddle blankets and sleep cries, when time was still our time, unplanned and marvelously flexible, when we could watch an entire season of "Six Feet Under" in one sitting because … well, what else were we going to do?

He danced two world premieres here: the solo "38109," with music by himself and the composer-performer Caroline Shaw, and "Ascending Bird," a sextet amalgamating jookin with tap, in which he and Ms. Dorrance led four other performers, including Ron Myles and Phyouture "Lil P," both marvelously individual jookers.

Jeff Koons's "Bluebird Planter" (217-2016), an outrageous, giant bluebird made of mirror-polished stainless steel with transparent color coating, and housing live flowering plants, faces Sigmar Polke's marvelously inventive "Auto (Jeep)" (1992), with the black, cartoonish outline of a jeep painted on polyester treated with artificial resin.

|
Only one — Sabrina's housebound cousin Ambrose played by the luminous Chance Perdomo — has the luck and writing to be captivating from his first appearance to his last, but others like the nasty teen witch Prudence, Aunt Hilda, and Sabrina's friends Ros and Susie grow marvelously over the course of the season.

The installation at the Met Breuer is marvelously spacious and intermittently chronological, emphasizing Mr. Whitten's development as a carver as well as the good luck he had in Crete, with its wealth of lustrous woods: black and white mulberry, wild cypress, butternut, olive and cherry, Serbian oak and Cretan walnut.
|

Without notes and with neither haste nor waste, she speaks of Pillow tradition (marvelously eclectic — multicultural, too); welcomes back companies that are old friends; proudly announces premieres; and mentions which companies she is happy to see making their debuts at the Pillow this year precisely because she's seen their work elsewhere.

What's more, Pixar is the odds-on favorite to win this year, for its marvelously sweet and affecting Coco, which has received some of the strongest reviews for a Pixar movie made this decade (when the venerable computer animation studio has had its struggles and made far too many Cars sequels).
|
|
His book "Confucius: The Secular as Sacred" (1972) "revolutionized the field of Chinese studies" by identifying the sayings ascribed to Confucius and his disciples "as a marvelously subtle work sketching human potentials for dignity through humane interactions," Michael Nylan, who teaches Chinese history at the University of California, Berkeley, said in an email.

In fact, they are marvelously, toe-tappingly celebratory, and they come the closest that this show ever does to the great idea that being alive in this world, as we casually contemplate each other flouncing around in the local corner store, might be pleasurable and neighborly and more than a tad sexy.
|
|
Among the most exciting are a rare collection of gold coins dated back to the 11th century; the marvelously intricate gold filigree jewelry, made in the Islamic tradition; large jewel-encrusted crosses and relic-boxes, made in the European tradition; and European-Jewish jewelry depicting the long lost temple destroyed by the Romans in A.D. 70.
|
|
In the new year, Riccardo Muti and his Chicago Symphony have a marvelously diverse program of Stravinsky, Higdon, Chausson and Britten, as well as a spot of Brahms; the Boston Symphony outshines them in April with Shostakovich's Fourth and the second act of Wagner's "Tristan und Isolde," with the small matter of Jonas Kaufmann singing the male lead.
|
|
The overall work is still a marvelously manic patchwork, especially when we get a chapter from no character's point of view on Tacita Dean's attempt to catch a cloud, or ones on the months of March and April — or in the moments when Smith plays fast and loose with the timeline, skipping back and forth like a madwoman with a wonky telescope.
|
|
And when the desk clerk at our wonderfully comfortable hotel, Le Saint Sulpice, who had proven marvelously accommodating and thoughtful during our stay, suggested we return at the height of summer, when the streets are full of performers and music, when — he said — the city becomes a perpetual open-air (and free!) party, all of us, children and adults agreed: We'd be back.

The tale is really a poem told through text and pictures, and it is winningly contemporary, uniting a grandmother's domestic chores with a song and prayer about a granddaughter who is flying a fighter plane during World War II.

|
|
In "Island People," a travelogue of love and scholarship, Joshua Jelly-Schapiro explains that his fascination with the region stems from its linkage of "traumatic histories of colonialism and genocide and slavery" with a "persistent sense of cosmopolitan possibility and newness," brought to life in marvelously varied ways on hundreds of Antillean islands, big and small, each a little different from the others.

Here are five good ones to start with, to get a sense of what the site has to offer: Now You're Talking (1927, AT&T, nine minutes) Animation pioneers Dave and Max Fleischer — the men behind the classic Betty Boop, Popeye, and Superman cartoons — explain the dos and don'ts of the desk telephone in this delightful short, which mixes live-action with marvelously detailed drawings.

She wrote of circumsizing Sam for aesthetic reasons, noting that in her experience the uncut unit, as she put it, looked sort of marsupial, perhaps like a rodent trapped in a garden hose; the umbilical cord, when it fell off, reminded her of something the cat might get stuck in its tail; and she wrote, marvelously, of wishing she could just put the baby out on the porch for one night.

Hustvedt speaks here both as a writer of fiction (she's got six novels under her belt) and as a serious autodidact who has spent the last decade reading and writing about neurobiology in hopes that she herself might become that marvelously integrated citizen Snow was calling for: a person who has developed a mind-set that moves with ease between understanding derived from the emotional imagination as well as the analytic intellect.

Humeysha shot by Jordan Kenna Here's what we know about Humeysha: They're a quartet based in NYC (made up of Zain Alam, Dylan Bostick, Adrien DeFontaine, and John Snyder), they released their self-titled debut back in October, and their single is a marvelously mellow kind of psych-pop, but it's clean and sparkly like a diamond baguette, dappled with Bollywood-toned lilts, sung by Alam in both English and Hindi-Urdu (the project was initially conceived in India).
|
|
In her marvelously titled 1996 essay, "Thinking of Follows," Rosmarie — I have to call them by their first names here — speaks of "writing as dialog with a whole web of previous and concurrent texts, with tradition, with the culture and language we breathe and move in and that conditions us even while we help construct it," and a mere enumeration, more than 55 books that we would normally call "their own," suggests how expansive their dialogs (why not say, polylogs?) have been.

I do have an inexplicable soft spot for Howard Stern; you'd be hard-pressed to persuade me that he is not among the most fantastic interviewers ever: His conversation with Conan O'Brien, which he himself lauds as his best, marvelously delves into anxiety, depression, and the perils of success and failure; his one with Jon Stewart goes, deeply, into the former Daily Show star's estranged with relationship with his father; and his discussions with people like Lady Gaga and Gwenyth Paltrow will sincerely give you a brand-new perspective on both of them.
