...duchess. In art, Dr. Claribel's choices included Matisse's early Blue Nude (1907) and Cézanne's monumental Mont Ste Victoire. In sharp contrast, soft-spoken Miss Etta, an accomplished pianist and lover of old lace, bought glowing Matisse interiors, a Manet pastel, and Picasso's finely drawn, classic Mother and Child (TIME, Sept. 1, 1952). Both sisters were sketched by Matisse and Picasso. But back in Baltimore, the neighbors decided that the Cones had become "mental cases." Undaunted, the two sisters, with their bachelor brother, turned the 17 rooms of their adjacent apartments...
...years of marriage, painting was one of several Gauguin hobbies; he also fenced and played billiards. Mette thought Paul's pictures were very pretty and perfectly respectable (at first, they were).

Like Manet, Monet and Degas, he covered his canvases with veils of light and shadow. But Vuillard's subjects were domestic-his mother, his friends and the quiet, bourgeois, wallpapered rooms in which they lived. To those everyday themes, he brought the quiet joy of small mysteries...
...equaled in any museum outside of Spain. Pieter Bruegel's ecstatically tranquil Harvesters dominated one room. Caravaggio's Musicians another. In the galleries devoted to modern painters. Pablo Picasso's peaceful Woman in White, recently acquired from the Museum of Modern Art, and Edouard Manet's great, sea-fresh Boating were standouts...
