NYT May 24, 2022 Andrey Kurkov has spent his life writing about realities so absurd they defy satire. It was perfect preparation for this moment.
On the morning of Feb. 25, the day after Russian bombs began falling on his country, Andrey Kurkov, Ukraine’s most famous living writer, received a phone call at his home near Independence Square in central Kyiv. The call was from an old friend, a businessman with close ties to the government, who had just got hold of some privileged information: Kurkov, a longtime critic of Vladimir Putin, was on a list of “pro-Ukrainian activists” drawn up by the Kremlin, whose forces could seize the capital in a matter of days. He needed to get out.

Paul Cézanne, a Painter’s Painter

As modernism settles into the distant past, the role of French artist Paul Cézanne in forging that movement has never seemed more certain. Born in 1839, Cézanne pointed the way ahead by looking backward, turning traditional genres such as still life and landscape into vehicles of subjective expression. The first retrospective of his work in Paris after he died in 1906 jolted the history of Western art, making Cézanne a source of inspiration for everything from Cubism to abstraction. In recent years, the world’s leading museums have mounted compelling exhibitions focusing on specific aspects of Cézanne’s work. Now the Art Institute of Chicago offers the first full-fledged survey in the 21st century with “Cezanne,” opening May 15. Find out More
