...Guggenheim show is that it contains none of the paintings from 1908-09 with which, at L'Estaque in the south and the village of La Roche-Guyon outside Paris, Braque dug himself into and then out of Cezanne. Nor does it have the clumsy but crucial Large Nude of 1908, in which he struggled to make sense of the shock of first seeing Picasso's Les Demoiselles d'Avignon. There is, however, the marvelous 1909 Harbor in Normandy -- a seascape of vectors, in which hulls, spars, water and sky are made of the same brown-and-blue prismatic substance...

Chaplin squatting grey and nude, atop his chiffonier, swinging his thyroid around his head by his bamboo cane, like a dead rat. Oona in an aquamarine gown, applauding madly from the bathroom." The banned Hamilton version: "At one point in a letter to Burnett ((Salinger)) provides a pen portrait of the Happy Hour Chez Chaplin...
...nude serenade had been purchased last week at Cabot House's annual Dutch Auction. "It was a good deal, for $52," said Brenda Wood, who was the highest bidder. Wood, who was visiting her daughter, Cabot resident Lori Wood '88, decided to buy the serenade for herself...
