On a recent swing around the Mediterranean, she discovered at first hand the proto-baroque painters, Ribera and Caravaggio, and has borrowed their theatrical use of localized light to heighten her figures' impression of stirring the air around them...
...veto the Anglo-American proposal, thereby inviting a Turkish invasion of the island as the only means of rescuing Turkish Cypriots, or it can agree to the establishment of the force if it includes Communist troops, thus moving toward the historic Russian ambition of gaining a foothold in the Mediterranean...
