Allan Savage on Duchamp, Man Ray, Picabia
"More than a group of artists marking the artistic modernity of the twentieth century, the association of Duchamp, Man Ray and Picabia sounds like a constellation... these three men constitute a kind of occult triumvirate of the artistic avant-garde." To coincide with the first exhibition to explore the inter-relationship between Duchamp, Man Ray and Picabia, to be staged at Tate Modern, Allan Savage looks at this relationship through the fascination of all three artists with the game of chess.

Lyle Rexer on Peter Doig
![Peter Doig, 100 Years Ago [Carrera], 2001](/images/cms/13719w_lyle_rexer_13.jpg)
A figure standing on the branches of a tree; a long-haired man in a canoe staring out at the river; a boy lost in concentration testing the ice on a frozen pond. Welcome to the painterly world of Peter Doig, whose imagery comes from a variety of sources - part memory, part art history, part borrowing from magazines, film stills, and posters.
Harry Mathews on Niki de Saint Phalle
Niki de Saint Phalle's formative years were spent with her first husband, the writer Harry Mathews, between 1950 and 1960. He talks about this time to TATE ETC.
