...TIME presumed to change the title of a Salvador Dali painting from his spelling GALACIDALACIDESOXIRIBUNUCLEICACID to the more orderly GALACIDALACIDE-OXYRIBONUCLEICACID. Would you paint over a piece of his canvas...
...Painting in Gems. The Wittelsbach treasure represents some of the finest works of a moribund art in which precious stones, rather than paint, provided color, and malleable gold and silver, rather than marble, was shaped to the sculptor's concept of form.
