These apart, perhaps the most beautiful evocation of Provence in Cezanne's work is a seascape, The Gulf of Marseille Seen from L'Estaque, circa 1886. A blue bay, with blue hills on the horizon and a pale, scrubbed blue sky; a pier running into the blueness on the upper left, reaching (it seems) toward a white scarf of smoke coming from a chimney in the right foreground and binding the whole space between; below, the faceted blocks of houses and the lovely staccato rhythm of chimneys. It radiates peace and balance and, above all, easefulness--the sense of being...

His seascapes, mostly distilled from the coastal resort of Scheveningen, where a pier stuck out into the flat northern sea from the dunes, are of extraordinary beauty. The movement of waves and light is reduced to the twinkling of black bars and crosses, shifts and erasures, within an oval field of view. In the end, this breaking and reassembly of a motif go so far that only the barest clues to its identity remain--whether it is a tree, a seascape...

Meanwhile, the Senate endorsed a budget blueprint, including a $1.5 billion payment on the Navy's third Seawolf attack submarine, which was created to track and destroy the Soviet navy, and is now rusting at pier side. And the Army's first rah-66 Comanche helicopter-designed to defeat Moscow's Hokum helicopter-rolled out of a Connecticut factory attended by bunting, a military band and a real, befeathered Comanche chief...
