I’m always a sucker for the T Magazine’s culture edition, but I particular like this one.
Check out the slideshow of Picasso’s work space in the South of France. He worked from lunch until midnight; friends visited him in his studio. Sounds lovely.
Check out the amazing gardens of Arne Maynard.
I do love those rolling hills of grass and the tuffs of shrubbery.
From Katie Roiphe’s profile of Bernard-Henri Levy — ‘‘Crisis X,’’ 1982, by Jean-Michel Basquiat, left, and ‘‘Crucifixion,’’ circa 1540, by Bronzino. The images in Levy’s exhibition are better than the profile.

The gardens are nice, but I’ll admit that I don’t actually believe in the colors in most of those photos, at least not the outside ones. I really wish people would not use photoshop so much to “sharpen” or “brighten” or whatever- to me, it just looks fake and much worse.

And it’s edited by Debbie Needleman of the old Domino Mag (not the one now that primarily recycles old content).

Ah, that’s why I loved it.

Katie Roiphe also has a very weird and sad article on Slate that’s supposedly about “siblings” but is really about the terrible relationship she has with her sister – who lived upstairs from her but did not come to see her new nephew (Katie’s son) until he was five months old.
