...impossible to name all the artists or point out all of the outstanding works. Miro, Picasso, Chagall, Modigliani, de Stael, Matisse, Kandinsky, Vlamink--they are all there. Three very gentle and humourous Dubuffet's, a marvelous Miro bull, Max Ernst's flowers with sea-shell impressions for petals are examples of traditionally but well represented artists. Picasso steps out of the norm with a stage curtain painted for Diaghilev's Russian Ballet, recapturing Paris's sense of community, in contrast to the unique achievements of each artist separately...

But they didn't matter at all. For in Cambridge, England, 24-year-old Lytton Strachey was loudly proclaiming that he and his fellow members of the Apostles, a small society of intellectuals, were about to inherit the earth. They never quite made it, but in their later guise as the Bloomsbury Group-Maynard Keynes, E. M. Forster, Bertrand Russell, Virginia Woolf, Clive Bell among others-they did become...
