...only infrequently in Portugal, fado has lately fallen into a state of flux. Many of the old fado taverns, looking for the tourist dollar, are pushing pop fado, an attempt to internationalize the art by adding drums and clarinet to the traditional guitar accompaniment. Its chief exponent is sunny Maria da Fe, 24, who sings such classics as It's as Empty and Cold as My Heart to a sizzling jazz beat.

...always rely on available models. The studio of Charles Spitz, then Tahiti's only professional photographer, supplied him with inspiration for his art. His Pape Moe (The Mysterious Water), which shows a Tahitian boy drinking from a mountain spring, was painted from a Spitz photo. In la Orana Maria, one of his best-known canvases, the Tahitian figures strike poses deriving entirely from a photograph of a Javanese-temple frieze that Gauguin had brought from Paris...
