...museum considered it well worth the purchase price, cited the opinion of Harvard's Rembrandt Scholar Jakob Rosenberg: "The portrait of a young man with beret and gold chain is one of the finest Rembrandts that ever came to this country." Last exhibited 45 years ago at London's Royal Academy, the painting has been hidden from view since then in a private English collection. Covered with coats of varnish. Hartford's new Rembrandt had to be painstakingly cleaned before the artist's original signature was uncovered. The date. 1655, placed the painting in the period...
...Glass Slipper (M-G-M), Hollywood feels about as comfortable with Leslie Caron as a truck driver does with a beret-whatever it is, it's not normal. Everybody loved her in Lili (TIME, March 9' . 1953)) but what was it everybody loved? Was she pretty? Not by the usual U.S. standards. Could she act?

One tomb contained the skeleton of a young Etruscan woman with a necklace of Baltic amber...
...mark. But Curry did have the boldness to conceive a Cineramic view of the land he loved. At the height of his fame, he called Wisconsin Landscape "my greatest." Grant Wood, like Benton, sowed some Midwestern oats in Paris. There he sported shocking pink whiskers and a Basque beret, painted hazy, impressionistic canvases. Back home in his native Iowa, he mainly taught art for a living. He shaved his round face smooth, and assumed an exterior as mild as a cup of Ovaltine...
