In a work like Bread and Fruit Dish on a Table, 1909, Picasso picked up on Cézanne's monumentality.

Suddenly, the outdoor funeral service in the center of El Salvador's capital was transformed into a tableau of horror: exploding hand bombs, wild gunfire, terrified crowds stampeding in panic. Before it was over, 35 people had been killed; 185 others had been hospitalized with...
Some habitat owners with older properties, like Jim Franks of Santa Cruz, Calif., leave all their fruit and berries for their wild guests-which may include such nonfriends as skunks and snakes. "What the hell," says one wildlife friend, paraphrasing Robert Frost: "The land was theirs before it was ours...
