...this cautionary tale of blond ambition, Kidman concocts a savory cocktail of strychnine and syrup. Imagine a bourgeois sex kitten mistaken for a prom queen. Her eyes are fixed in a cutesy-predatory gaze that evokes and parodies the early Ann-Margret and her cinema avatars Melanie Griffith and Drew Barrymore. Her voice has the blithe assurance of someone who has never been told no. On her teeth is a little lipstick residue, like unlicked blood. She's got It, and she knows how to peddle it.

Griffith-Joyner's brushwork is similar to her track work. "I can do 10 or 15 canvases a day," she says. And her style? "I've seen a lot of work in this museum like what...
