Inside every man there's a little boy who loves to play. Consider RCWAVE.COM, where we found the iRacer, a teeny remote-controlled car that makes a terrific desk toy for the executive who could use some comic relief. Or GIANTROBOT.COM (from home page, click GR Store), which carries Asian pop-culture kitsch, T shirts, comics, and other random items (Japanese Winney the cow egg toy: $7.50). Need a gift with more gravitas? Get silk ties, merino wool sweaters and other staples at BROOKSBROTHERS.COM. For the outdoorsman, there's REI.COM, which lists products by activity (cycling, cross training, Alpine skiing...

An example of this relationship is that Catalans unflatteringly dubbed the Casa Milà La Pedrera "the quarry," for its stone...
There is nothing so raw in the rooms that follow, filled with the surgical purity of Kinetic and Op art, until we reach works inspired by '60s politics. Like artists before World War I, Jean Jacques Lebel draws on images of lowlife, but in Parfum Gréve Générale, bonne odeur (1960), pretty girls posing in underwear rub elbows with bloody corpses. Jacques de la Villeglé's Boulevard de la Bastille (1969) uses torn posters from the previous year's near-revolution overlaid with depictions of General de Gaulle...
