...first memo, which actually dates from 1929, before the avalanche begins, brusquely dismisses Rin-Tin-Tin. The introduction of talking pictures, argues one Warner executive, has turned their canine star into just another unemployed hound, "very obviously, of course, because dogs don't talk." To the regret of Jack Warner, who ran the studios (Brother Harry was president and Albert was treasurer), his other stars could talk and often did. When Davis objects to being cast in something called Hollywood Hotel (1937), her withering look can be seen between her lines to him: "I have worked very hard to become...

One of the most charming is Yi Song Rin's 1748 Sage and Child Under the Moon and the Pine. Confucian philosophy acknowledges the centrality of man, the importance of learning, the appreciation of nature and the cycle of life. All are here, as the little boy, holding his lunch box in one hand and his scroll box under...

...picture by Helmut Newton, photographer of consequence, full-time provocateur, dirty old man. In the 1970s Newton became famous with fashion shots that introduced to the pages of Vogue the black leather of European decadence. (This was before Robert Mapplethorpe showed us that dog collars were as American as Rin Tin Tin.) It was a moment of witchy aftershocks from the '60s, when the energies of liberation had moved on to less wholesome destinations. Instead of pot, cocaine; instead of Joan Baez, Patty Hearst. Newton plunged into this atmosphere with pictures of deluxe women in bondage gear and lesbian...
