...triggered by conventional explosives instead of "dirty" fission, there is much less blast or radioactive contamination-so that the bombarded area is left intact and friendly troops could occupy it. Furthermore, neutron weapons would be much lighter and cheaper than existing nuclear weapons, thus have enormous implications for brush-fire-war tactics...
Gradually his primitivism disappeared, but no matter how mature his brush became or how rich his palette, his paintings never lost their Oriental lilt. His women were sensuous and thoroughly American, but they were nearly always by themselves, sad and impassive.

Some of Klein's early paintings were all green, some all red, still others orange. But Klein's favorite color is I.K.B. (International Klein Blue), which has something to do with the space age.

Diagnosis: incipient diabetes complicated by high blood pressure...
Back in Brazil, he became enchanted with his native land. With a brush dipped in fantasy, he painted its tangled forests, soaring mountains and garish carnivals. In 1940 President Juscelino Kubitschek, who was then mayor of Belo Horizonte, set up an art school and made him a star instructor. But Guignard, bubbling over and chattering through his harelip, either drank up or gave away everything he made. He once traded a painting for a necktie, recently gave another for a pair of long-toed shoes. The transaction, he said, was "completely fair: they're like the shoes Charlie Chaplin...
