Between July 28, 1956, when the 84th Congress adjourned, and Jan. 3, 1957, when the 85th Congress convened, an avalanche of events had changed virtually every recognizable feature of the world landscape as seen from Capitol Hill. The U.S. returned Dwight Eisenhower to office in a devastating sweep-but for the first time in history a re-elected President would be confronted by a Congress controlled by the opposition. Crisis in the Middle East strained and stretched (but did not break) the historic alliance with Britain and France, even while crisis in Poland and Hungary demonstrated to the world anew...

" Redon found a meager market for his nightmares, eked out a living illustrating books, including Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven," and peddling his prints to dealers...
...apartment. Fascinated by the shell, Redon used it as the starting point for a motif as old as antiquity. His Birth of Venus is a subject that has inspired artists from the time of the Greeks to Botticelli. Redon painted it as something glimpsed deep in the sea or seen fleetingly but unforgettably in a dream...
