Nobody cares about Art

[Innula Zenovka]

If I'd thought about it, I'd always assumed the door was to the right, out of the frame, but I've always thought of the painting as being about how the viewer is stuck outside in the deserted night-time streets, shut of the conversation going on inside the warmth and light of the diner.

'We are all Edward Hopper paintings now': is he the artist of the coronavirus age?

With his deserted cityscapes and isolated figures, the US painter captured the loneliness and alienation of modern life. But the pandemic has given his work a terrifying new significance

Johnson claims UK legitimate owner of Parthenon marbles

Britain is the legitimate owner of the Parthenon marbles, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has claimed when speaking to a Greek newspaper, rebuffing Greece's permanent request for the return of the 2,500-year-old sculptures.

Britain is the legitimate owner of the Parthenon marbles, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has claimed when speaking to a Greek newspaper, rebuffing Greece's permanent request for the return of the 2,500-year-old sculptures.

Since independence in 1832, Greece has repeatedly called for the repatriation of the treasures - known in Britain as the Elgin Marbles - that British diplomat Lord Elgin removed from the Parthenon temple in Athens in the early 19th century, when Greece was under Ottoman rule.

However the British Museum in London has refused to return the sculptures, roughly half of a 160-metre frieze which adorned the 5th century BC monument, saying they were acquired by Elgin under a legal contract with the Ottoman Empire and are part of everyone's "shared heritage".
