...Service had long ago recommended widespread vaccinations and predicted major outbreaks this year of both Type A influenza, which runs in a three-year cycle, and Type B, which runs in two-or four-year cycles. The Communicable Disease Center expected Type A to miss the Eastern states, or brush them only lightly, because they had outbreaks last year. So far, the C.D.C. has been correct. In the East, influenza B has attacked mostly the young and the old, with only a modest increase in resultant pneumonia. The Asian flu attacks all age groups indiscriminately, which explains the epidemic spread...
...that in finding his own style, Matisse had simply let his left hand tell him what his right hand should do. In 1911 and 1912, he visited sunny Morocco and, like Delacroix 80 years before him, fell in love with its Moorish seraglios and sultry colors. He let his brush line course over his canvas like an enchanted cobra.

"It will be an adventure...

With the deep personality splits and with Crane's deep personal attachment to Curry, the prospect of compromise was slim in the beginning and almost non-existent...
...paintings from Copley's early years in England are perhaps his best. Building on the skill that emerged during his last years in America, his brush became even freer, the paint more heavily modelled, and the stroke stronger and more concise. In the beginning he occupied himself as a portraitist to support his family and get himself established. But soon he had an opportunity to embark on a career as a painter of historical scenes when he was commissioned to paint well known Watson an the Shark. That work was followed by the Death of the Earl of Chatham...
