Matisse and the Nun: A Pure Love Story

Last updated on: December 31, 2016 at 7:39 am By Kate O'Hare

Today, Dec. 31, is the birthday of French artist (and atheist) Henri Matisse. Toward the end of his life, after surgery, he needed a nurse. The young woman who replied became a close friend — and later a Dominican nun. Matisse created the Chapelle du Rosaire (Chapel of the Rosary) for her in Vence, France. From ARTNews: In 1941, a nursing student named Monique Bourgeois responded to an ad placed by Henri Matisse for a “young and pretty night nurse.”... Read more

Mark Wahlberg’s ‘Patriots Day’ Documents the Boston Marathon Bombing

Last updated on: December 21, 2016 at 10:26 am By Kate O'Hare

Up front, let me say that “Patriots Day” is a well-made, exciting film. Produced by, and starring, Boston-area native (and devout Catholic) Mark Wahlberg, and directed by Peter Berg, it tracks the events leading up to the April 15, 2013, bombing at the finish line of the Boston Marathon, and continues through the massive manhunt for the bombers. As much as possible, the filmmakers used the original locations, and the film ends with interviews with the real people involved, including... Read more
