Teeth in the T-Zone. The Women paintings are bathed in influences - 1930s Picassos and 1950s cigarette ads (that smile was originally a Camel "T-zone" clipped from a back cover of TIME), Cycladic sculpture and Mesopotamian idols, the "archaic smile" distorted into a toothy leer.

A victory by Mitterrand would bring to power the first left-wing coalition government in France since Leon Blum's Popular Front in the turbulent late 1930s. A Mitterrand regime would also include the first Communists in any major Western European Cabinet since the cold war began-a fact that might legitimize the idea of Communists sharing power in other Western European countries, notably Italy...
