Elizabeth: Trawling around today's Chelsea galleries recently made David and I mindful of the days when we would wander the streets of Soho looking at art in some pretty great galleries. After the sun set, there were no Comme des Garçons or Cookshop to light the way home, but thin bedraggled men filling dumpsters with compacted shredded rags from the remaining sweatshops that dotted the area south of Houston Street. Frankly most of what was below Houston in the late 1970s and 80s was pretty creepy, outside of a few old standbys. Still, if you were there for the art, music or dancing, its edginess was exciting and romantic. It was also affordable to take a cab out of there -- if you could find one.
David: Yeah, today’s Chelsea is fast becoming the Epcot center for flashy haut bourgeois boutiques, signature architectural confections designed to blot out the light and in time,...

The painter stars alongside Van Gogh and Gauguin in an exhibition of treasures from the Pearlman Collection. Plus Wes Anderson's fictional artwork Boy with Apple, and a 'memory wound' in Norway – all in your weekly art multipack
Exhibition of the week
Cézanne and the Modern
The awkward, isolated, thoughtful eye of Cézanne digs deep into the structure of things as he tries to paint not the passing show but the inner truth of nature. That struggle leads him to the discovery that everything is ambiguous and there are no certainties, as his pictures start to break up into planes of light. He and other founders of modern art, including Gauguin and Van Gogh, star in this exhibition of treasures from the Pearlman Collection.
• Ashmolean Museum, Oxford OX1, from 13 March until 22 June.

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.

A month-by-month rundown of 2013's most outrageous examples of sexism: from Seth Macfarlane's Oscar song to Kate Middleton's 'baby weight'
January
Good old Georg Baselitz kicked off the year in spectacular sexist style with the confident declaration: "Women don't paint very well. It's a fact." As it turned out, he was just the first in a long line of prominent men to confuse "prejudiced opinion" with "fact" over the course of the year – an easy mistake to make. Meanwhile, the New York Post took it upon itself to set the tone for a year of misogynistic media with a front-page picture of Hillary Clinton mid-passionate speech, with the headline: "No wonder Bill's afraid". This would have been brilliantly original were it not for the well-trodden path of decades of similar pieces attempting to discredit female politicians as shrill harpies. Yawn.

The Royal Academy of Arts announces details of exhibition called Dennis Hopper: The Lost Album
More than 400 previously unseen photographs from the 1960s, which were discovered in cardboard boxes after the death of the actor Dennis Hopper, are to go on display in Britain for the first time.
The Royal Academy of Arts on Friday announced details of an exhibition called Dennis Hopper: The Lost Album.
Hopper is best known as a hell-raising actor and director with films such as Easy Rider, Apocalypse Now and Blue Velvet. But he was also a respected artist and photographer.
The Ra's director of exhibitions, Kathleen Soriano, said the discovery of the boxes by his family, after his death in 2010, revealed "just how obsessively Hopper took photographs with a 35mm Nikon camera that his wife gave him after their house, with all his paintings in it, was destroyed by fire in 1961".
Hopper took photographs of everything.

Georg Baselitz Gagosian Gallery Through April 7, 2012
"Art demands fanaticism" -- Adolf Hitler, 1915
Georg Baselitz's (born 1938, Deutschbaselitz, Saxony, Germany) recent work at Gagosian, paintings on a monumental scale, presents the artist as a still-vital explorer, using both his personal history as well as myriad art historical references in a search for a unified, iconic image. Enormous canvases, measuring over twelve feet high, combine elements from his early works, such as "Die grosse Nacht im Eimer" (1962–63) and "A Modern Painter" (1966), remixed in a gambit designed to distance himself still further from the nearly thirty-year span of his signature, inverted, pseudo-Ab Ex work. A sense of nostalgia and reflection is evident here, as well as an undiminished appetite for new forms and styles.
Of these pieces, Baselitz says, "I don't want to create a monster; I want to make something which is new, exceptional, something that only I do...something that references tradition,...
