Get in touch to send in cinephile news and discoveries. For daily updates follow us @NotebookMUBI.NEWSAbove: Anna Karina and Jean-Paul Belmondo on the set of Pierrot Le Fou (1965). Jean-Paul Belmondo has died, leaving behind six decades of films that started with his breakout role in Jean-Luc Godard's Breathless (1960). In his tribute to the iconic actor, critic Richard Brody describes Belmondo as the "height of cool [...] an icon of a cinema to which he didn't belong." The world has also been shocked by the death of the singular actor Michael K. Williams. Known to many as Omar Little from The Wire, Williams also worked with auteurs like Paul Thomas Anderson, Ava Duvernay, Martin Scorsese, and Steve McQueen. As his The Wire co-star Wendall Pierce says, Williams gave "voice to the human condition."Mondo is kicking off its Mondo x Death Waltz 10th Anniversary celebration with a deluxe reissue of...

“Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” creators Amy Sherman-Palladino and her husband Daniel Palladino are developing a drama series about female abstract artists in the 20th century for Amazon Studios, TheWrap has learned.
The tech giant has optioned the rights to Mary Gabriel’s 2018 book “Ninth Street Women” for the Palladinos to develop as the couple’s latest project under their overall deal with the studio, which they renewed in February.
Here’s the official description for the novel, a New York Times Critics’ Top Book of 2018: Set amid the most turbulent social and political period of modern times, “Ninth Street Women” is the impassioned, wild, sometimes tragic, always exhilarating chronicle of five women, Lee Krasner, Elaine de Kooning, Grace Hartigan, Joan Mitchell and Helen Frankenthaler, who dared to enter the male-dominated world of twentieth-century abstract painting — not as muses but as artists. These women changed American art and society, tearing up...

Released in 2018, the Mary Gabriel-penned work chronicles the lives of five women — Lee Krasner (wife of Jackson Pollack), Elaine de Kooning (wife of Willem de Kooning), Grace Hartigan, Joan Mitchell and Helen Frankenthaler — “who dared to enter the male-dominated world of 20th-Century abstract painting — not as muses, but as artists,” according to the book’s official logline. “These women changed American art and society, tearing up the prevailing...

Counterpoints to the Narrative Lichtundfire Gallery, NYC May 31 - June 30, 2017 The exhibition is jointly organized through Lichtundfire and Katharine Carter & Associates, D. Dominick Lombardi, Curator.
The concept of walls and borders has been tossed around with such frequency of late, and with such politically charged implications, it seems almost anticlimactic that artists would address this notion within a primarily aesthetic context. Counterpoints to the Narrative curated by D. Dominick Lombardi, features a group of artists exploring ideas that are simple, yet provocative, visuals of this complex subject matter. Sparky Campanella, Mark Sharp, and Martin Weinstein, two painters, one photographer, whose work, seen in combination is much more than a contrast in method and style; rather, it is a meditation on visuality and viewership. These artists are creating work that explores some of the ideas Rudolf Arnheim has put forth regarding the contrast between "seeing into" a work of art, and "seeing as.

Margaret Roleke's life has been spent in New York or the surrounding tri-state area except for three years living in London and two studying in Ohio. Her many trips to Europe, Asia, Central America, and South America have informed her practice. Roleke's art has been exhibited widely in the tri-state area, and also in several international shows. In the last year her work was seen at Scope Miami, Cutlog in New York, Fountain Art Fair in New York, and in several group exhibits in Connecticut, Harlem, and Brooklyn.
Bradley Rubenstein: It was great seeing some of your new pieces. I'm not sure exactly what we should call them -- they are a kind of hybrid print. Can we talk a little about them first? There is a show of works by Morris Louis and Helen Frankenthaler up now, and these reminded me of a combination of that kind of colorfield painting,...

We've had a complete history of nudes in art and the 10 sexiest artworks ever. Plus Clooney's on a Monuments Men-fuelled news frenzy – all in your favourite weekly art dispatch
Exhibition of the week
Strange Beauty: Masters of the German Renaissance
The art of the German Renaissance is full of witches, werewolves and supermodels. Lucas Cranach the Elder painted nudes with a lanky, bony beauty – the Renaissance's answer to heroin chic. He makes Venus look truly sinful. Cranach was Martin Luther's best man, and responsible for burning several supposed witches – so his infatuation with dangerous desire has a dark side. He and his contemporaries mix medieval folklore with the new classical ideas coming out of Italy to create bizarrely compelling masterpieces. This ought to be fascinating.
• National Gallery, London WC2N, from 19 February until 11 May.

Liz Markus: The Look of Love Zieher Smith Through March 17, 2012
Color, like scent, is one of the most powerful triggers of memory. The smell of cinnamon or nutmeg brings us back to our childhood kitchens, sweetly reminiscent, like something Mother used to bake. Or a signature perfume reminds us of a first fuck. Liz Markus uses color to tap into our collective memories, evoking the hues of time -- period colors: Seventies Polaroids, Eighties adverts, and the lurid tints of souvenir postcards. In the past her work used color as a weapon -- a blunt, punk-rockers attempt at identity. The paintings in The Look of Love show Markus all grown up, referencing a complex history of Modernism and Color Field painting.
In "Leaving My Best Friend" (2012), dark palm trees sway, backlit, as if viewed from a beach chair in Margaritaville. Roy G. Biv rainbows of color are washed across the scene,...
