Early Impressionism. The Manet On the Beach is also an unusual work: an important example of the artist's conversion, in midcareer, to the informal open-air painting now known as Impressionism. Painted during the summer of 1873 on the seacoast of Berck-sur-Mer, its lighter palette and sketchier treatment present a striking departure from the indoor lighting and carefully worked-up details of the earlier, sensational Le déjeuner sur I'hérbe-an outdoor scene painted in the studio.

...Best Only. As his backing dwindled rapidly and his depression deepened, Ky slipped away to the seacoast city of Nha Trang, where he paced up and down the beaches, lost in thought. He returned to Saigon briefly last week, but only for a private goodbye to outgoing U.S. Commander William Westmoreland and to resign as head of the recently instituted Civil Defense Committee. "I'm going fishing," he snapped to a palace official, and with that he returned to Nha Trang and isolation...
