When creating their lines for spring, it seems fashion designers unanimously concluded that this was the moment to update the peasant blouse. As stores stock up for warmer weather, the garment will soon become ubiquitous (Julia Roberts, Janet Jackson and Calista Flockhart have already been spotted wearing them).

His late gestural paintings, with their thick brooding darkness and emphatic signs, such as Secret Letters, 1937, meant a great deal to American modernists like Jackson Pollock and Adolf Gottlieb.
