Flashes of beauty have bloomed in the most random of places around New York over the past several years -- a trash can here, a phone booth there -- with surprise displays of flowers. But amid the pandemic, the floral designer behind them has a renewed sense of purpose. Lewis Miller, owner of floral design company Lewis Miller Design, has long transformed the city's most grittiest spots into giant flower displays. He calls them "flower flashes."

After the plague, death became a silent companion for Renaissance artists. Hisham Matar recalls a month in Siena, exploring love, loss, mortality and art

In a rare interview, the Nobel Prize winner discusses mortality, drawing inspiration from the past, and his new album: “Rough and Rowdy Ways.” A few years ago, sitting beneath shade trees in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., I had a two-hour discussion with Bob Dylan that touched on Malcolm X, the French Revolution, Franklin Roosevelt and World War II.

But sometimes, I feel downright frustrated by the works that have been chosen for inclusion.

Some 44,000 years ago, an artist climbed high onto a cave ledge on an Indonesian island, paintbrush in hand. Perhaps inspired by spiritual visions, the artist sketched a dynamic scene featuring tiny, animal-headed hunters armed with spears cornering formidable wild hogs and small buffaloes.
