Sometimes he painted her in the style of his Blue Period, other times rather in the mode of Toulouse-Lautrec. By 1918 Picasso and Fernande had parted, and that year he married the dancer Olga Koklova, by whom he had his son Paolo...
...century silver point* miniature drawing of an elephant and a mouse by an anonymous artist to works of the Goyaesque Felice Giani, who died in Rome in 1823 after an artistic career that included decorating the apartments in the Tuileries for Josephine Bonaparte.

The celere, under orders to permit no demonstrations of any kind, quickly moved to disperse the mob. The crowd charged the police, heaving bricks and wielding staves. Then a troop of mounted carabinieri rode into...
