...With Matisse painting rediscovered primary color: red, blue, yellow; colors he put down on the canvas right next to each other, vibrating wildly, with no concern for reality.

Matisse and his French followers, André Derain and Maurice de Vlaminck, were nicknamed les fauves (the wild beasts) because they painted lemon yellow and lime green skies above pea green seas upon which sailed geranium red boats. There was another wild color that these Fauves used: white. In Alfred Sisley's Impressionist view of Willows...
...because all the greatest artists of the century were connected with it." With 500 paintings and sculptures, the show documents the whole range of Surrealism's vast output in pursuit of surprise and mystery. It even exhibits an entire wall from the Paris studio of Surrealism's ideological father, André Breton, hung with 44 years' worth of his bizarre memorabilia and his own collection of Rousseau, Kandinsky...

Much as Capa held his camera only inches from the faces of the grief-stricken and the grievously wounded, Kershaw focuses - tightly and unblinkingly - on a man who "invented himself" and who was exposed to an excess of both joy and horror in his 41 years.

But the troubling allure of Berthezène, Le Pen and their fellow extremists frightens and perplexes many Gardois as much as lurking criminals do. Aware that...
...pool of suitable candidates, which he estimates at about 30,000 in this predominantly Protestant country of 7.3 million. Now three recruiters are visiting the nation's military boot camps, Catholic parishes and seminaries, giving motivational talks about the benefits of serving in the Swiss Guard. One of them, André Wyss, retired head of recruitment for the Swiss Army, acknowledges that finding willing candidates is a difficult task. "Years ago, when Catholic families in Switzerland had many children, it was easier to fill the ranks," he says. "At times, there was even a waiting list. Now young people...
