My reading of Philostratus' "Imagines" is on http://Tony_Green. -- notes on artifice/illusion in painting.

At the same time I'm slowly making my way through the John Nash Jr bio: "A Beautiful Mind" -- of course, it's not at all like a movie, let alone The movie. The prose is readable, but not as good a read as the Spurling "The Unknown Matisse" . As with many bios, a lot of interesting material comes to light about the context, the other persons, institutions and circumstances. In this one -- so far -- the account of Nash's time at Princeton and then at the RAND Corporation are really informative. Sylvia Nasar is able, and this taks some doing, to write about the mathematics in a readable summary that makes sense of it. The story about Nash trying to kick the pigeons [transfered to Princeton in the movie] comes from the blue-collar staff of RAND watching him in the street and complaining to the management.
