Culture - International Herald Tribune
Culture news and reviews from The International Herald Tribune, the world's daily newspaper online.
- Out of the shadows, French bronzes are a revelation
"French Bronzes - From the Renaissance to the Century of Enlightenment," on view at the Louvre until Jan. 19, will make some wonder why it took so long for this stunning art form to be the focus of an exhibition. - Sketches, possibly done by Leonardo, found on Louvre painting
Three previously unrecorded sketches probably from Leonardo da Vinci's own hand have been discovered on the back of "Mary with the Infant Jesus and Saint Anne," painted by the Florentine master in the early 1500s. - Christopher Plummer's legendary life, wonderfully retold
For anyone who loves the theater, not to mention the vanished New York of the 1950s and '60s, Plummer's memoir is a finely observed, deeply felt (and deeply dishy) time-traveling escape. - A grand master of memory, and a martyr partly forgotten
Bruno was burned at the stake in Rome in 1600 as a martyr to something. It is known that he was a religious reformer, philosopher and a master of memory. But much has been forgotten. - Gustav Niebuhr's 'Beyond Tolerance'
What lies beyond tolerance? Respect and recognition - not just for individuals but also, as Gustav Niebuhr argues, for the faiths to which they are committed. - Jeffrey Yang's 'An Aquarium'
Not since D. H. Lawrence or Kenneth Rexroth has a poet wrung so much human meaning from the natural world. But whereas Lawrence is discursively tender, and Rexroth wry and epigrammatically clever, Jeffrey Yang speaks in tongues as if touched with a Pentecostal flame. - Jeremy Piven, Meryl Streep, Kate Winslet

Tributes poured in from Dublin's political, academic and literary establishment for a man who championed unpopular causes, relished enemies and arguments, and challenged Ireland on its twin devotions to nationalism and Roman Catholicism. - How a 'modest' Bryan Singer film swelled into a Tom Cruise blockbuster
Bryan Singer was looking for a modest film to make. Two years, a reported $90 million and the arrival of one big movie star-turned-mini-mogul later, "Valkryie" is being released. - Dylan Loeb McClain: Chess
The weekly chess column. - Los Angeles museum agrees to accept rescue deal
The board of the ailing Museum of Contemporary Art was in talks with Eli Broad, the billionaire philanthropist. - Carrie Underwood, Whitney Houston, Madonna
A roundup of the day's celebrity news. - Film workers protest against strike at SAG meeting
A dozen film industry workers protested outside a town hall meeting of the Screen Actors Guild on Wednesday night, pleading with actors not to authorize a strike that would bring the entertainment business to a halt. - 'Doubt' tops SAG pack with 5 nominations
The Catholic school drama "Doubt" led contenders Thursday for the Screen Actors Guild Awards with five nominations, including honors for Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams and Viola Davis. - Book Reviews: 'The War Behind Me' and 'Frontier Medicine'

Smith translates a comic novel by the Belgian writer Jean-Philippe Toussaint into English. - Italian cultural paradox: Love it, live in it, leave it to the creaky bureaucracy
A half-dozen structural revamps of the culture ministry during the last decade haven't really done much except to shuffle around the burden of a creaky and defensive bureaucracy. - Chinese author of book on famine braves risks to inform new generations
A book published this year in Hong Kong has been hailed as the most comprehensive account by a mainland Chinese writer of the Great Famine of 1958-62, with a toll he puts at 36 million. - In 'Hamlet,' a star-spotter alert for the understudy
In Royal Shakespeare Company's production of "Hamlet," the lede actor, David Tennant, was indisposed due to a bad back. But Edward Bennett, his understudy, has acquitted himself triumphantly. - 'Intermezzo' in Vienna: A comic minor masterpiece by Strauss
Portraits of happy marriages are rare in opera. This lightweight plot is more akin to screwball comedy than opera. - 'The Americans' of the '50s through the lens of Robert Frank
No one has had a greater influence on photography in the last half century than the Swiss-born Robert Frank, especially through his book "The Americans." In January a comprehensive publication, "Looking In: Robert Frank's 'The Americans,"' will accompany a major exhibition in Washington. - Dr. Katz: Comedy on the couch
A best-of compilation of Comedy Central's "Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist," a forerunner to the popular "South Park" show, was released this month. - The belching green ogre has a song in his heart
"Shrek" is not bad. But it does not avoid the watery fate that commonly befalls good cartoons that are dragged into the third dimension. - Book Review: 'Panic'
"Panic," edited by Michael Lewis, carries the cautionary message that the wisdom brought by a financial collapse is wisdom that rarely sticks. - Out of the shadows, French bronzes are a revelation
