...Delacroix. Ingres was now the champion of classicism, though it was his own brand. Delacroix and his followers were romantics who worshiped not Raphael but Rubens. While Ingres exalted line and form and insisted that the brush stroke should never be visible, the new painters reveled in color and pigment. "Yes. to be sure," grumped Ingres, "Rubens was a great painter, but he is that great painter who has ruined every thing." He flatly refused to let his students even look at the Rubenses in the Louvre. When, years after Ingres was elected to the French Academy, Delacroix was also...
...yourself whipped-with love, but you were torn up just the same." The color bar was as strong in Laurel as anywhere in the South, but the children were not aware of it at the time: "We were taught to judge peo ple as individuals, not on the pigment of their skin," says George.

From a commercial laboratory he learned that traces of iron reduce the yield of toxin. He was able to determine that the production of a pink pigment called coproporphyrin was similarly diminished by iron. This discovery in turn led him back to work he had done as a graduate student...
Spread daily on the body in the form of an ointment, MBEHQ interferes with formation of the natural skin pigment. It works only on Negroes who already exhibit telltale light splotches of vitiligo therefore have a demonstrated tendency toward depigmentation. Dr. Stolar reported that he had successfully treated more than 300 vitiliginous patients, many of whom chose to use the ointment only on small areas of their skin. But 16 patients who decided to try MBEHO more extensively, Dr. Stolar said, have achieved almost total body depigmentation, which presumably will last as long as they continue using the drug...
