- Treasures from Budapest | Visual art review
Royal Academy, LondonIt is understandable that publicists for this exhibition chose to put Egon Schiele's 1915 work Two Women Embracing on the posters. Sex sells, and drawing does not come any sexier than Schiele's transfixing image, whose ultimate provocation is the way one of the women looks around at the artist to show that she is gratifying his fantasy. But there is more to the foregrounding of this erotic masterpiece than commerce: it exemplifies a theme that runs through this once-in-a-lifetime show.From the first room, where Hungarian gothic altarpieces are juxtaposed with Italian Renaissance delights, to the last, where Schiele gives you a final thrill, the art of central Europe is richly mingled with extraordinary works from the west that are in Hungary's public collections. I've never seen such a generous loan from one country's museums – by comparison, the Hermitage exhibit at the RA was quite cautious. This is a true blockbuster, practically a museum in itself, stuffed with surprises and marvels. Highlights include a portrait by Frans Hals that proves him the equal of his contemporary Rembrandt, a pair of working-class heroes painted by Goya, a Raphael homage to Da Vinci and, oh yes, a couple of Leonardo's own greatest designs. And that merely scratches the surface.The thread that connects it all is a vision of Europe. Western Europe's artistic development has been written as a march of progress since the Renaissance. Hungarian collectors fully subscribed to that version, and bought some supreme Italian works. But here you see those paragons alongside carved wooden saints from Hungarian churches in a way that expands your sense of the variety and greatness of the continent's heritage. European art through Hungarian eyes is a landscape made new.Rati ロイヤルアカデミーは、LondonItは、この展覧会の時事評論は、エゴンシーレの1915作品ポスターに抱きしめるふたりの女を置くことを選んだことは理解できる
- Democracy Village was a credit to Parliament
The Westminster protesters gave tourists the impression that our politicians can handle dissentWell, it's a shame that the Democracy Village has gone from Parliament Square, because it really made the Palace of Westminster look like it was capable of handling and absorbing dissent with some aplomb. Any tourist tipping up to visit the Houses of Parliament would surely have been intrigued, if not impressed, to see quite marvellously eccentric tolerance in action before their very eyes, littering up the place and making it look horribly untidy. They'd have been slightly misled, of course. But not as misled as they will be by an empty, manicured lawn, speaking only of a nation content and at ease with its wise and noble political masters.ProtestLondonDeborah Orrguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds

- Election TV debate from a US perspective | Larry Sabato
The three party leaders' articulacy put US politicians to shame, but Cameron seemed high-handed and Brown old-fashionedFrom an American perspective, there was a clear winner of Britain's first-ever prime ministerial TV debate: Nick Clegg. He looked sharp, was consistently articulate, and was able to challenge the other two candidates pointedly and effectively. By contrast, the other candidates gave unmemorable performances. Just as advertised, the incumbent prime minister seemed to belong to a pre-television era. Gordon Brown came across as old and leaden without seeming especially wise. David Cameron was stiff and occasionally uncertain, with an upper-class manner that appeared high-handed at times.Having said that, Clegg had it easy. Almost no one thinks he's the next prime minister, so the pressure was off. Both Brown and Cameron were respectful and friendly because they covet his voters. Both the Labour and Tory candidates occasionally used Clegg as a battering ram against the real opponent.In an American context, the three party leaders were marvellously articulate, putting US politicians to shame, including Barack Obama – who can be stilted without his teleprompter. This was a debate steeped in details and policy. There were plenty of memorised soundbites, yet the format encouraged quick thinking and gave voters a sense of the mental agility of each candidate.The subjects of the questions were familiar to anyone who watched the 2008 US presidential clashes: immigration, education, the healthcare system, and war casualties. The answers were different, for sure. Americans wouldn't necessarily have recognised the reasonable, constructive, multi-party approach to immigration, the informative commentary about educational reform, and the consensus about the worth of gov 3党の指導者の明確さは残念に米国の政治家を置くが、キャメロンは高圧とブラウン古いfashionedFromアメリカの視点ように、英国初の首相のテレビ討論の明確な勝者：ニッククレッグされました
- JD Salinger: A guy you'd want to call up (but he wouldn't take calls)
Not the beatnik you'd expect to write the novel that invented the 20th-century teenagerHolden Caulfield, the hero of The Catcher in the Rye, says that a good writer is someone who makes you feel you can call them up on the phone.JD Salinger's work had that quality in spades, which made it all the more intriguing that he spent so many decades not taking calls from journalists, biographers and – above all – publishers.His silence and unwillingness even to be photographed made him a powerful mythical figure. Don DeLillo once wrote a whole novel inspired by a photo of Salinger fending off a photographer.Yet Salinger was not a man for avant-garde stunts. He made his name writing for the New Yorker in the legendary days when short story writers could command big bucks and big audiences.Nor was Salinger the kind of beatnik figure you'd expect to write the novel that invented the 20th century teenager – at least not until he started taking an interest in Zen Buddhism and writing his last published stories. For all his marvellous grumbling, Caulfield was a privileged east coast prep schoolboy.Even so, Holden became a role model for several generations of disaffected teens. Ian Hamilton, Salinger's first biographer, wrote that when he first read The Catcher he went around for months afterwards being Holden, and was annoyed to discover later that thousands had done the same.The fact that people felt that way was only partly to do with Holden's appealing anti-phoney stance. It came down to Salinger's ability to make sophisticated writing look like speech – a harder thing to do than he made it seem.Salinger's silence since 1965 has invited a lot of speculation. Like Thomas Pynchon, but perhaps less deliberately, he turned himself into a cardinal symbol of the cultural refusenik i 探しているビートニク場合には、20世紀teenagerHoldenコーフィールド、畑でつかまえてキャッチャーの主人公は、発明小説を書くことを期待したいことは、優れた作家たちあなたphone.JD上でそれらを呼び出すことができますを感じさせる誰かが言うサリンジャーの作品はスペードのそれよりは、彼のジャーナリスト、伝記作家のすべて-上-からの呼び出しを取らないので、何十年も過ごした魅力のすべてては、品質が沈黙し、不本意にも撮影するpublishers.Hisは彼に強力な神秘的な有名人となりました
