This, one realizes, is the first painting by Dali that actually means something, that opens the Pandora's box of obsession of his later, Surrealist work. What it means is parricide. He sees his father as a dark colossus, a parody of the figures of patriarchy that bulked so large in Catalan folklore. Much of his work thereafter would be devoted to dragging the paternal giant from his pedestal...
Sitting in a midtown Manhattan restaurant, long past lunchtime, Horne looks $ exquisitely beautiful under a big straw hat, without a line to mar her fine- boned face.

Indeed, MacKinnon found among the unsorted bones in the collection of Hanoi's Institute of Ecology and Biological Resources some skulls of the slow-running deer that had been gathering dust since the late...
Today, as always, Maya Prabhu is above all things proper, and at all times dressed for a garden party. She dons a fairly ubiquitous hat ("I don't want melanoma or carcinoma by the time l'm 25, l'm lucky that hats are fashionable, but l'd wear them even if they weren't.")
