British artist David Hockney shows friends how he works on an I Pad at the Pierre Berge foundation, in Paris, Monday Oct. 18, 2010. Canvas is just so 20th century. That's the lesson of David Hockney's new Paris exhibition, where glowing i-Pad and i-Phones _ their screens a changing medley of still lives and landscapes made by the celebrated British artist on the "Brushes" application, replace traditional canvases


A visitor takes a picture of the painting 'Jeune Fille Endormie au Chat' (Sleeping Girl with a Cat, 1880) by French artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir displayed during the exhibition 'Passion for Renoir' at the Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain, 18 October 2010. The Prado Museum hosts the first monographic exhibition in Spain dedicated to Renoir, with paintings collected by the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute.
