Francis Ford Coppola’s grandiose, dystopian sci-fi is finally unleashed, and the young City bankers go green with Lord MuckMegalopolis
Out nowFrancis Ford Coppola’s incredible back catalogue (The Godfather! Apocalypse Now!) means a new FFC joint is always going to be a must-watch, regardless of the quality of some of the more recent work (Tetro, Youth Without Youth).

Board masters: artists’ palettes as works of art – in pictures
From Piet Mondrian’s plain white smudge to the vivid flourishes of Egon Schiele, the palettes artists use to create their masterpieces are mysterious, vibrant creations in their own right (Picasso’s palette from 1961 recently fetched £56,250 at auction despite being made of cardboard). Fifty of these small artworks, smeared with their owners’ personalised spectrum of paint, have now been collected in a new book, many of them for the first time. “A palette is both a -

London Standard’s AI imitation of Brian Sewell proves art critics cannot be easily replaced
Nonsensical article lacks Sewell’s authentic voice and is hateful way for paper to remember one of its best writersWho knew the late art critic Brian Sewell was such a tediously cliched writer?

And it was a posh voice. Evidently the chatbot used by the Standard -

Uncanny Visions: Rego and Goya review – it’s Little Miss Muffet vs the horrors of war
The Holburne Museum, Bath
Goya’s disturbing etchings, full of terrors plucked from the edge of the abyss, leave Rego’s mildly subversive Nursery Rhymes looking like superficial sketchesPaula Rego hung her small collection of Goya prints in her bedroom, facing her bed.

A woman who is wild and haggard with grief cradles the co -
