...Parmigianino, most of them as slender as greyhounds, are nothing like El Greco's rough-cut saints, famished men with skin the color of split timber and stiff robes draped around them like crumpled fenders. And while the Mannerist palette, all that coy bump and grind of pink and yellow, is calculated sometimes to startle, the explosive oddity of El Greco is something else altogether. In his magnificent late canvas The Adoration of the Shepherds, the yellows and crimson, acid green and purple, jammed together to ecstatic effect, are so artificial that they give parts of the scene the impression...

In 1996 Kiron Skinner, now a professor at Carnegie Mellon, was researching a book on the end of the cold war when she stumbled on the first...
...gold symbolized it perfectly." She turned the specially treated material into whimsical shapes, like a square of chocolate that seems to melt over the finger, and another that looks like it's been nibbled. The rings start at about $700 (there are also $600 versions in plain old yellow gold) and represent Boucheron's first attempt at an "access line"?fashionspeak for "affordable." But if you don't tell, she'll never know...
