20 years on. Dario Marianelli’s score for #PrideandPrejudice became one of the most iconic ones of the 21st century. My favorite is the Purcell inspired dance sequence at Netherfield. Beyond the tumblr frenzy this film caused, Joe Wright redefined the literary adaptation for film. #JaneAusten250

The pivotal Pemberley sequence of Joe Wright’s #PrideandPrejudice 20 years on. Beautiful use of a monotone color palette in the sculpture gallery. Marianelli’s score. Highlights Elizabeth’s regret. Pemberley serves as a focal point for which all the lines of conflict are drawn. #JaneAusten250

One of the great examples of the importance of close looking, historical inquiry, and the usefulness of reproductions is the set of rooms that make up the Cast Courts at the V&A Museum in London. #WorldArtDay

On #WorldArtDay from a recent visit to the Museum of Modern Art in NY. As a formally trained art historian I try to focus on what this profession means, especially now, and with my own ethnic & racial background. How do we convey the importance of cultural artifacts to our evolving human condition?
