In the new MFA show "Rhythms of Modern Life: British Prints 1914 -1939," more than 100 prints from 14 different artists working between the beginning of World War I and World War II are on display (including 'Speedway,' above by Sybil Andrews). It was a time when social and economic turmoil brushed up against unprecedented technological advancement, and the exhibit, including lithographs, etchings, woodcuts, and color linocuts, illustrates the effects of those changes, as well as the influence of Italian Futurism and French Cubism on the way British artists depicted the world around them. Today 10 a.m. - 4:45 p.m. (Through June 1). $17, $15 seniors and students, $6.50 ages 7-17. Museum of Fine Arts,465 Huntington Ave., Boston. 617-267-9300. mfa.org
