☆ Legendary Female Artists on the Younger Women Who Inspire Them
▼ + stars: | 2023-04-20 | by ( ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +20 min

The Artist’s Mind What it feels like for female artists to wrestle with ambition, ego, ambivalence and inheritance. That isolation has, historically, been especially true for women artists, some of the most celebrated of whom have seen “writer” or “painter” or “filmmaker” treated as a secondary part of their identity. For this issue, we asked legendary female artists to tell us about a younger woman whose work excites them and gives them hope. But for the current generation of women artists, who have come of age with models who more closely resemble them, identity seems more like a source of community than a trap. Women artists, born into a Babylon of exclusion and possibility, reveal that creative inheritance is as promiscuous as legal inheritance is strict.

I’VE ALWAYS had a weakness for elegant, old-world hotels. Maybe I’ve read too much Stefan Zweig, the Austrian novelist who set his work (like his 1927 novella, “Twenty-four Hours in the Life of a Woman”) in such lavish places. Or perhaps I’ve viewed “The Grand Budapest Hotel,” Wes Anderson’s 2014 confectionery pastiche, too many times. ); or a suite named after an obscure writer who stayed for one night in 1883. Rarely, though, have I slumbered in one of these old-world gems.

☆ ‘Chess Story’ Review: Playing the Nazis’ Game
▼ + stars: | 1938-03-11 | by ( Kyle Smith | ) www.wsj.com time to read: +1 min

All of the swells of Vienna are gathered for an intoxicating evening of fancy dress, fizzy wine and graceful waltzing. “As long as Vienna keeps dancing, the world can’t end,” reasons high-living notary Josef Bartok in “Chess Story.” Vienna stops dancing: It’s March 11, 1938. Later that night the Austrian premier will resign, turning the country over to the Third Reich as Bartok ( Oliver Masucci ) returns home. Adapted from the novella by Stefan Zweig , “Chess Story” is a diabolically knotted psychological thriller. The board game emerges as a fascist tool for crushing the psyche of one’s opponent, a portal to liberation, or possibly both.
