...soles and sides of my foot," he said. "I can see the footprints of my boots and the treads in the fine, sandy particles." Minutes later, Armstrong was joined by Edwin Aldrin. Then, gaining confidence with every step, the two jumped and loped across the barren land scape for 2 hrs. 14 min., while the TV camera they had set up some 50 ft. from Eagle transmitted their movements with remarkable clarity to enthralled audiences on earth, a quarter of a million miles away. Sometimes moving in surrealistic slow motion, sometimes bounding around in the weak lunar gravity like exuberant...
Other antic notions emerge as well. Militant playfulness seems to predominate in Sea Scape with Dunes. Its thorny blobs march across the canvas in a shape like a sea-horse at bay. A flamelike, almost scarifying vitality leaps forth from Interior Landscape, twisting savagely sidewise, up and around. Only the deliberately faded grays and greens, and the firm blue square in the middle, keep the painting from dissolving into a chaos of raw emotion. Still, any really good abstract painting, Helen argues, "plays on your emotional gut. It gets to you, and many people would just as soon leave that...
Their terrain is the fresh green land scape of ancient pastoral, replete with somber mountains, gloomy caves, anthropomorphic rivers. They sing not of ordinary men, but of lovers, amoebae, angels, village rustics, swans, emperors, unicorns. And their music is an eerie compound of British and U.S. folk traditions.

General Matthew Ridgway, commander of the United Nations forces, later recalled that "there was no wild celebrating or fraternizing such as had marked the end of other wars." Men slumped wearily around a bottle of whisky or tried the unusual sensation of standing upright without flinching. Thus, after two years and 17 days of simultaneous fighting and negotiating, the Korean War came to an end just 15 years ago this week. The U.S. suffered 140,000 casualties, including 34,000 dead, in the more than three...
Braque's versatility as a painter is legendary and a wide range of his development in oils can be seen here. A few examples include a 1906 land-scape very much like Fauvist work, particularly reminiscent of Vlaminck. Later, in 1911, at the height of the Cubist period, Braque painted the "Still Life with Banderilas," one of a series of muted-tone exercises almost indistinguishable from Picassos of the same period. Three still lifes, one of 1929, another 1939, and of 1941 show his developing interest. The first includes a lemon painted to look flat, while on an adjacent goblet...
