...Millinery Shop” (1882-86) are both well-known portraits of materialism. Vincent van Gogh’s “Roses” (1890), painted in the last year of his life while in a mental asylum, introduces thick black outlines and cube-shaped petals into the composition of a vase of wilting roses. Paul Cézanne’s “The Kitchen Table” (1888-90) is a revolutionary still life because Cézanne shows that he has set up the table laden with fruit, jugs and a basket in his studio...
...Fauves were followed by the Cubists, led by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, who deconstructed the basic sphere, cylinder, cone and cube that learner artists were set to copy. They broke apart these simple solids to construct ambiguous images that appear to emerge from the canvas or flatten out like a collapsing card-house.

As they walked through the quarter-acre vegetable garden and apricot grove of Jobs' wife Laurene, Jobs sketched out the Platonic ideal for the new machine.

...then there's Microsoft's X-Box, Nintendo's Game Cube, Apple's iPod, and (according to the Wall Street Journal, anyway) disco-era throwback Shrinky Dinks, which sentimental boomers are apparently trying to pass on to their kids. And there's always this year's batch of "must-own" DVDs of didn't-need-to-see movies, the kind of stocking stuffer that tends to pile up in shoppers' hands (and on their credit-card bills). Maybe all retailers will need this Christmas is a few hot "magnet" items (sufficiently stocked) to get shoppers into the stores...
