Barbara Hepworth was one of the leading sculptors in America and Britain during the 1940s, 50s, 60s and 70s. But her career rarely crossed the English channel. Now, more than 40 years after her death, Hepworth is getting her first solo exhibition in Paris.

In the old days, farmers made distinctive bells to mark their cattle. Today, identifying who owns a herd is just a little different thanks to technology and fewer than a dozen of these bell makers are left. They come from a small town in the heart of Portugal, where they are trying to keep their ancient craft alive.

A career retrospective of prominent Russian painter Vasily Polenov has opened in Moscow. Best known for his landscape pieces, Polenov's peers in the late 19th-early 20th centuries would call him the "Knight of Beauty" as he incorporated European and Russian traditions in his work.
