Loosely derived from Cubist approaches to defining form and space, Hofmann’s rectangles provide pictorial structure as well as a sense of motion, atmosphere, and mood.
These rare and amazingly well-preserved works by early landscape and bird-and-flower painters of the late Song and early Yuan periods (thirteenth and fourteenth centuries), rendered on silk or paper with ink and light color, demonstrate the sophistication and accomplishment of the early Chinese painting tradition.

When a witch turns thirteen, she must leave home for a year of training, so young Kiki takes off with her mother's broom, her father's radio, and her own black cat, the sardonic Jiji. Unskilled in sorcery, she supports herself as best she can, delivering parcels by broom. 
Abandoned by their father and bereft of their mother who recently died, nineteen-year-old Boni and his younger sister Nénette are barely on speaking terms, with life or with each other.
