...protest against the fascist bombing of a Basque town during the Spanish Civil War, to a cluster of peg dolls he painted for his daughter Paloma. Paintings, drawings, collages, prints of every kind, sculpture in bronze, wood, wire, tin, string, paper and clay; there was virtually no medium the Spaniard did not use, and all are profusely represented...
...himself and his feelings. There would be no more collaborations, as with Braque. The corollary was that Picasso gave feeling itself an extraordinary, self-regarding intensity, so that the most vivid images of braggadocio and rage, castration fear and sexual appetite in modern art still belong to the Spaniard. This frankness?allied with Picasso's power of metamorphosis, which linked every image together in a ravenous, animistic vitality?is without parallel among other artists and explains his importance to a movement he never joined, surrealism...
Rubin, 52, set to work with the future head of that museum, Dominique Bozo, 45. Beginning in late 1977, they whittled their huge exhibition of 940 works from the Spaniard's colossal output.

Robinson, 48, a Cantabrigian who lives in a Surrey village Wodehousefully named Chipping Sodbury, worked for eight years as a Madison Avenue copywriter to finance his career as a novelist. The experience appears to have sharpened...
Columbus was one of the few travel writers in history who actually discovered the paradises they praised. To be sure, he could not say much for West Indian cookery in his day. Among the then dominant Carib Indians, who were cannibals, la nouvelle cuisine consisted of smoked or stewed Spaniard, followed in later years by filet of Frenchman and Londoner broil. Nor, for that matter, before paths were cleared through jungles and up mountains, could a seafaring man more than sense the islands' dazzling diversity of terrain or the richness of their flora and fauna. Since Columbus first gazed...
