Lawrence (1917-2000) was the first African American artist to show at New York’s canon-defining Museum of Modern Art, which this week unveiled an exhibition centered on “The Migration Series,” Lawrence’s most famous ensemble. [...] nobody else’s art combines the flat edginess of Lawrence’s forms — so sharp at times they seem to threaten the probing eye — and a deployment of color so confident as to prolong the attention of impatient viewers until the subtle intensities of his social vision sink in.

I regard myself as a long-term investor. The no pain, no gain portfolio's longest- serving constituent dates back seven years, although I personally have held some shares for more than 30 years.

Granted, it's a dreadfully personal question, but I nonetheless feel compelled to ask: do you have any skeletons in your wardrobe? Any cranium in your atrium? I only ask because I most certainly do. Not that I used to run a stable of fighting dogs out of my South-east London lock-up, although some people may well react to the following news as if that is the case.

Putting people in control of their own retirement funding gives greater flexibility in making the best use of pension savings, but for many it will be a daunting task and one where they will need support and guidance.

Pension Freedom Day is only two days away. I repeatedly hear that a significant amount of pension money will be invested in buy-to-let, so I thought I would give my two penn'orth on the subject.

Sunday marks the last day of the 2014-15 tax year. That means it's the last chance to use up all your current tax allowances. The key one for most people will be the tax-free Isa allowance, although some may also want to maximise their contributions to their Sipp. If you're reading this on Saturday morning, however, you need to get a move on.

With five pictures under their belt, it might be safe to say that director Arnaud Desplechin and actor Mathieu Amalric are France's Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro. But where that pair haven't worked together in a couple of decades, Desplechin and Amalric are back together in the upcoming "Trois souvenirs de ma jeunesse" (AKA "My Golden Years"), and the first international trailer and images for the movie have arrived.
