| | Movement |
| | An art movement is a tendency or style in art with a specific common philosophy or goal, followed by a group of artists during a restricted period of time (usually a few months, years or decades). | | | The rise of cinema and "moving pictures" in the first decade of the 20th century gave the modern movement an artform which was uniquely its own, and again, created a direct connection between the perceived need to extend the "progressive" tradition of the late 19th century, even if this conflicted with then established norms. | | | Art movements were especially important in modern art, where each consecutive movement was considered as a new avant-garde. |

| | Famous diamonds |
| | The USSR Diamond Fund comprises many of the historical jewels that were amassed by the rulers of Russia before the Revolution of 1917, along with exceptional diamonds unearthed in the former Soviet Union during the last three decades. | | | Its introduction was also significant in the world of diamonds, which saw its first diamond with the characteristics of both the rose and brilliant cuts - which would subsequently be known as the Jubilee cut. | | | Known at the time as the Pitt, the diamond was sold to the Duke of Orleans, Regent of France, who was at first hesitant to purchase the gem because of the perilous state of the Treasury. |

| | othing gives me the feeling of having been born several decades too late quite like the modern "literary" best seller. | | | For years now editors, critics, and prize jurors, not to mention novelists themselves, have been telling the rest of us how lucky we are to be alive and reading in these exciting times. | | | More than half a century ago popular storytellers like Christopher Isherwood and Somerset Maugham were ranked among the finest novelists of their time, and were considered no less literary, in their own way, than Virginia Woolf and James Joyce. |

| | Typotheque: Thirty-six point Gorilla by Emily |

| | Blood to the Ghosts |
| | The shifts the field of modernist studies has undergone in the past two decades have been every bit as landscape-altering as the changes the New Historicism has wrought on early modern studies (and indeed, many of these shifts owe much to the example of historicizing trends in the early modern field). | | | As Rolfe's literary executor, Nelson has edited or co-edited the poet's selected and collected works, has featured him prominently in his critical books and in the anthology of American poetry he edited for Oxford University Press, and is currently writing his biography. | | | Two-thirds of my Cornell dissertation was on the American poet Louis Zukofsky (1904-1978), and by the time Louis Zukofsky and the Poetry of Knowledge was published, I was beginning work on a project that would address issues of language and cultural identity in contemporary Scottish and Caribbean poetry. |

Machover's "Brain Opera" is a modern phenomenon installed in Vienna, and his "Hyperscore" allows anyone to compose using a mouse. | | | The long list of contemporary artists pushing music in new directions includes seminal figures such as Pierre Boulez, Elliott Carter, Terry Riley, Steve Reich and Paul Lansky and younger trailblazers such as John Zorn, Eve Beglarian, Randy Woolf, Reza Vali and Thomas Ades. | | | Though notions like "originality," "master" and "hand of the artist" have been contested in postmodern times, working artists continue to ignore the theorists, finding new worlds to explore and creating correspondingly. |
