Nacht Wacht at Rijksmuseum
Released in 1972, "Ways of Seeing" has proven to be as worthy of study as the artistic traditions it investigates.
Pope
Far from acting as the conduits of a benevolent deity, these religious leaders threw the teachings of their own church out of the window.
utopia
The insurmountable contrasts between their visions help explain Russia’s stunted development and hint at its destructive future.
Mexican Revolution
The decades-long conflict is best understood not through secondhand accounts of historians, but the primary accounts of people who actually experienced it.
Leon Trotsky propaganda
Although equal parts Hollywood blockbuster and Putinist propaganda, "Trotsky" still manages to capture the good, the bad, and the ugly of Russia’s revolutionary past.
Satan
By taking Satan out of the religious context, storytellers explored the nature of sin in new ways.
