There was humor, as in the brightly uniformed Captain Jinks, who once was in front of a cigar store. And there was a talent for caricature, as in the stubby statue of Henry Ward Beecher. A Carrousel Rooster scampers off to nowhere, each wooden feather in place. A copper lady of fashion, which once adorned a dressmaker's establishment, is a swirl of rhythm. Eagles, monkeys, cats, lions, woodchucks, hogs, pouter pigeons, turtles and horses make up a delightful menagerie that reported on the wind, beckoned to the thirsty, announced the presence of circuses, and symbolized the glory...
...peaceful landscapes and bustling city streets never scream for attention or proclaim their mastery. But the mastery is there all the same. In his last year, when he could not easily get about, Pissarro painted what he could see from his apartment windows-the Tuileries, the Louvre, the Carrousel. In one of these, he captured perfectly the golden summer light of Paris. But he did it, as usual, in a humble and muted manner forcing the viewer to take a long and tender look...
...pluck at every passing sleeve. Martini's kingdom ranged from the velvet-lined, expensive Shéhérazade to the Moulin Rouge, mecca of U.S. tourists.

But Mama, Carrousel, Swing, or Fujiya Music Salon are nothing like Manhattan's Metropole or Birdland. Instead of the usual clutter of tables and clatter of highballs, Japan's hipsters sit in desklike seats set in rows of two, railroad-style, sipping their drinks in scholarly contemplation and rarely speaking, as jazz, either recorded or live, engulfs them in smoky parlors. Girls in the crowd affect tight toreador pants; the boys...
...that yet. I will do as much when I am that'age." When he was only 21, he submitted Manege de Cochons (a twirling semi-abstract with pigs racing about and black-stockinged legs and top-hatted figures joining in the carrousel of life) to the 1906 Salon d'Automne. It so enraged Painter Georges Rouault, a member of the jury, that he threw it to the floor and trampled it to shreds. After that, Delaunay moved into his fruitful "destructive" period...
