...after the autumn of 1900, a young artist in Paris, was markedly better at imitating Steinlen or Toulouse-Lautrec than other Spanish artists were, but that he could run through the influences so quickly, with such nimble digestion. What he needed, he kept. He had no use for the tendril-like, decorative line of Spanish art nouveau, for instance, but he retained its liking for large, silhouetted masses, and they, grafted onto the pervasive influence of Toulouse-Lautrec, keep appearing in his Parisian cabaret scenes of 1901. Some of these are of remarkable intensity. Picasso painted Gustave Coquiot, a fashionable...
Sadat and his official party, which included former U.S. Envoy Robert Strauss, were then driven to nearby St. Catherine's monastery. There the Egyptian President was shown the site where Moses, according to tradition, saw God in a burning bush; Sadat was given a three-foot tendril snipped from a plant growing on the spot. Upon his departure, the site of the flag-raising ceremonies swiftly emptied...
...danger is compounded because the eucalyptus continually sheds both its thin bark-which hangs from the upper portions of the tree in long, tendril-like strands-and its leaves. Together, bark and leaves form a thick and highly combustible layer of "duff" on the forest floor. The increased fall from dead and dying trees has now piled up to depths of 12 in. to 18 in. in some areas; there, the ground is covered by as much as 50 tons of debris per acre. In strong winds on a hot day, the duff could burn so furiously that huge updrafts...

Sakai Hoitsu's (1761-1828) screen of Thirty-Six Immortal Poets is virtually a compendium of Rimpa techniques and virtues: the sprightly drawing of flower and tendril; the formal presentation of each poet in a separate cartouche, as in a print. In his more realistic vein, as in a screen depicting Flowering Plants of Summer, Hoitsu possessed epigrammatic powers of observation: the fronds bend and bow under the summer rain, weaving a delicate lattice of green against...
...Alias the Doctor," probably the better of the two, is the vehicle selected for the restricted abilities of Richard Barthelmess. Since the atmosphere is melodrama and the theme is medicine, where else can such icy voiced and tendril fingered experts exist as those of Austria; so Bathelmess becomes Muller, and Richard, Karl. And thus before a background of beer steins, rambling stucco farmhouses, operating rooms and music boxes, Karl Muller develops as the boy who loves the soil but is forced to become a surgeon. Complication after complication is thrown in to keep awake a sleepy audience, but the chief...
