...Ronald Rewald shuffled along the 26th-floor corridor of his former Honolulu office building one morning in early September, looking dazed and uncomfortable. No wonder. The once prominent "international investor" was manacled hand and foot and accompanied by two guards, who watched as he searched for records that bankruptcy officials might have overlooked. None could be found...
Until this summer there had been few hints of trouble in paradise. Over the past five years, Rewald, 41, had persuaded some 400 investors, many of them Hawaiian plutocrats and VIPS, to pour $13 million into his flimflam firm.

Later the Met disclosed that the swap had cost the Met not two but six works - another Gris...
Bright Vision. Seurat's The Watering Can, which Paul Mellon presented to his wife as a Christmas present, is a vibrant testimony to the pleasure that the painter found in contemplating his father's garden outside Paris.

Bonnard grew old joyously contemplating his own garden at Le Cannet above the shores of the Mediterranean, pursuing an ever more jubilant orchestration of clear blue skies and yellow blooms.
