We're asking you to help compile a definitive list of must-see masterpieces | | Guardian Unlimited Arts
The new arts blog
The Guardian's film, book, TV and arts critics will form the backbone of our new blog site. They will by joined by fresh new voices - poets, artists, novelists, musicians, directors and actors among them - in what we hope will become a noisy forum for debate about everything from South Park to Mansfield Park, White Cube to Albert Square. We will also be giving readers space to post their own reviews. Join in at blogs.guardian.co.uk/arts
