...appointed to fill her husband's term in 1932 and was elected on her own later that year. Edith Wilson effectively ran the White House after husband Woodrow was waylaid by a stroke. Today, there are still plenty of widows on the political scene, including two from Missouri, Sen. Jean Carnahan and Rep. JoAnn Emerson and two California House members, Mary Bono, wife of the famed Sonny, and Lois Capps...

The viewer does not get a snapshot of one small movement, but instead comes away with a sense of what happened artistically between the classic 18th century still lifes of Jean-Siméom Chardin and the 20th century innovations of Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. Related paintings are placed side by side to inform the viewer’s understanding of both the history and the aesthetics behind Impressionist still life painting...
