Blue Smoke/Jazz Standard
116 East, 27th Street, Lexington/Park Avs.

Russell Malone’s diverse influences and prodigious talent meant he could have gone on to play almost any kind of music and played it exceedingly well. “As much as I love jazz music, I would never say that it is any more valid than rock, R&B, blues, gospel, or country," Russell once told an interviewer. “I would never say that because I love all kinds of music.” Fortunately for us, Russell Malone chose jazz and got his first big break in 1988 when he joined the classic organ combo of the late great Jimmy Smith.

The Museum of Modern Art, 11 West 53 Street (Theater 1 Gallery, Theater 2 Gallery and Special Exhibitions Gallery, third floor)
This major career retrospective on Tim Burton (American, b. 1958), consisting of a gallery exhibition and a film series, considers Burton's career as a director, producer, writer, and concept artist for live-action and animated films, along with his work as a fiction writer, photographer and illustrator.

Tim Burton is organized by Ron Magliozzi, Assistant Curator, and Jenny He, Curatorial Assistant, Department of Film, with Rajendra Roy, The Celeste Bartos Chief Curator of Film, The Museum of Modern Art.

The Art of Illumination: The Limbourg Brothers and the Belles Heures of Jean de France, Duc de Berry
Thursday, March 18th, 2010.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art
1000 5th Ave./82nd St.
, Upper East Side
The Belles Heures (1405–1408/9) of Jean de Berry, a treasure of The Cloisters collection, is one of the most celebrated and lavishly illustrated manuscripts in this country. Because it is currently unbound, it is possible to exhibit all of its illuminated pages as individual leaves, a unique opportunity never to be repeated. The exhibition will elucidate the manuscript, its artists—the young Franco-Netherlandish Limbourg Brothers—and its patron, Jean de France, duc de Berry. A select group of precious objects from the same early fifteenth-century courtly milieu will place the manuscript in the context of the patronage of Jean de Berry and his royal family, the Valois. On view through June 13th, 2010.

An important eighteenth-century silk needlework by a young woman named Prudence Punderson, The First, Second and Last Scene of Mortality (Collection of the Connecticut Historical Society), which provided original inspiration for Smith’s installation, is included in the exhibition. On view through September 12th, 2010.

Playing with Pictures: The Art of Victorian Photocollage
Thursday, March 18th, 2010.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art
1000 5th Ave./82nd St.
, Upper East Side
Sixty years before the embrace of collage techniques by avant-garde artists of the early twentieth century, aristocratic Victorian women were already experimenting with photocollage. The compositions they made with photographs and watercolors are whimsical and fantastical, combining human heads and animal bodies, placing people into imaginary landscapes, and morphing faces into common household objects. Such images, often made for albums, reveal the educated minds as well as the accomplished hands of their makers. With sharp wit and dramatic shifts of scale akin to those Alice experienced in Wonderland, these images stand the rather serious conventions of early photography on their heads. The exhibition features forty-eight works from the 1860s and 1870s, from public and private collections. On view till May 9th, 2010.

Oscar Wilde: De Profundis: The Exiles of Oscar Wilde
Thursday, March 18th, 2010.
7 p.m.
Symphony Space
Peter Norton Symphony Space, 2537 Broadway at 95th Street
,
Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) belongs to that class of artists for whom no introduction is needed. His name has entered our collective imagination and his aphorisms have become an indelible feature of the English language. Wilde's multifaceted personality, his biting wit, and the brilliance of his artistic genius added sparkle and glamour to late Victorian society. Wilde's personal life, brought into the glare of public scrutiny during his trial for homosexuality, intruded mercilessly on society's appreciation of his genius. Humiliated, degraded, exiled from society, and sentenced to two years of forced labor, Wilde became a thoroughly different person after his imprisonment.
