My father, the famous artist

Article Abstract:

It is sometimes very difficult to have a parent who is famous, according to jazz musician Marty Grosz, son of satirist George Grosz. He felt that he had to come out of his father's shadow in order to develop, and this is why he turned to jazz music. He was encouraged to develop his musical talent by his father, whose own talent began to wane when he left Berlin, Germany, for the US. Marty Grosz has grown up a true internationalist, having very flexible views about national boundaries.

The local Muse service

Article Abstract:

The Waverley Writers meet weekly in Godalming, Surrey, England to compose poetry. The group, which grew out of an adult education class, has been going for seven years. The National Poetry Foundation has accepted some of their poems. They inform each other of competitions, publications and events concerned with poetry. They read out poems they have written during the week and compose spontaneously from a given title. Group critique is important.

Turning the other cheek for art's sake

Article Abstract:

Photographer Spencer Tunick specialises in photographing ordinary people naked in urban settings. He recently undertook a project in Berkeley Street, London, for which he used 25 volunteers. He received many offers of help, although some volunteers were nervous when it actually came to lying naked in the street. He believes that nude pictures can be extremely interesting if they have realistic backgrounds.
