In a world saturated with images, learning to think about what we see is vitally important. ‘Letting art history become endangered and drift further into elite status is not only unfair, it’s also perilous,’ writes Helen Barrett

Art history is too important to be the preserve of the privileged

The subject is endangered at A level just as it couldn’t be more essential or universal. Helen Barrett makes the case for its survival in British schools

They by Helle Helle review – a novel to make the reader slow down and take notice

Minimalist but never austere, this mother-daughter portrait from the Danish author finds its power in everyday detail

Mark Ronson’s memoir is a hoot. He makes 90s NYC sound even more exciting than 90s London. My review for this week’s @thetls.bsky.social www.the-tls.com/lives/autobi...

Coming of age in New York’s music scene

“Every room was to be destroyed”, Mark Ronson writes in Night People, his rapturous account of his early life as a hip-hop DJ in New York in the 1990s.
