Street life, horses, and mythological characters - they're all central to M.F. Husain's career. The 94-year-old painter helped bring modernism to the canvases of India, and Brown University celebrates his achievement with a show titled "Early Masterpieces, 1950s-'70s." "Husain's paintings and prints are associated with his cultural roots - steeped in Indian visual culture, as well as social and religious traditions - and demonstrate his diverse influences, from India's sensuous ancient sculpture to the colors of Rajathani miniature painting and the lines and forms of Pablo Picasso and George Braque." The Cogut Center for the Humanities, Pembroke Hall, 172 Meeting Street, Providence, hosts the show through March 26 | 401.863.2932

If you came of age in the late '80s and early '90s, you'll be happy to hear your boy Pauly Shore is still on the prowl, concocting stunt after stunt (like making us think he dissed a bunch of black comics before 'splaining it was just a Punk'd kind of deal) and creating laff after laff. They're usually sharp enough to get a round of guffaws going. He won't be shy when he takes the stage as the Comedy Connection, 39 Warren Avenue, East Providence, at 8 pm | $27 | 401.438.8383
