Fifty years before Andy Warhol highlighted Marilyn Monroe's features and repeatedly printed her face, the northern German artist Emile Nolde accentuated a woman's hair, lips and eyebrows in color lithographs to produce a very different effect. Nolde's prints of a "Young Danish Woman" (1913) appear aged, as the Shroud of Turin. Like most of the works in the dazzling show Emile Nolde: The Painter's Prints and its satisfying counterpart Nolde Watercolors in America, the woman is a delicate relic rather than amass-market commodity.

The device seemed promising, but cardiologist Michael Callaham, who oversaw the trials, says later field tests on 859 patients "unfortunately showed the pump to be of absolutely no benefit." The FDA stopped the study, says Callaham, "but we talked with...
...publishing sleeper of 1993 proved to be, rather surprisingly, a , translation from the Danish. Peter Hoeg's Smilla's Sense of Snow enchanted reviewers and book buyers alike with its suspense -- a wise woman detective tries to track down a child's murderer -- and its eerie rendering of the landscapes and atmosphere of Greenland.
