"All this he saw, for one moment breathless and intense, vivid on the morning sky; and still, as he looked, he lived; and still, as he lived, he wondered."
On Friday evening, we went to see a Rocky Horror Show rendition put together for the 50th Anniversary of the show, and currently touring Europe. I don't even know how many times we've seen this anymore: every time a new group comes to town, we...
As a passionate geometry student since I was a kid, Morandi and De Chirico have always fascinated me, though I must admit they don't always spark an emotional response in me. Palazzo Reale dedicates to the metaphysical Italian painter Giorgio Morandi a neat exhibition, curated...
