Setting aside who comes out the best individually, though, the three artists do make a trio as neat as any geometry lesson, with Picasso's unerring sense of the human body as a mass in space, Klimt's fixation on gauzy planes and surfaces and Schiele's potent, monomaniac line.
|
|
An early "View from Rouelles" (1858) testifies to the young Monet's mastery of verisimilitude — a fixation on realistic rendering that he disengaged as he developed the style for which he would become famous; a turn towards loose brushstrokes unfolds as the exhibition progresses toward Impressionism proper.

|
|
The exchange was something we all could have guessed from how Ronnie bristled over Sammi's decision to skip Family Vacation, or his fixation on the creepily lifelike "Sammi" doll DJ Paul DelVecchio brought, but it was still shocking to hear the father-to-be speak his emotions out loud.

She's also a top producer at Hard News, skinnier than she's ever been (this series' fixation on Bridget's weight remains one of its most obnoxious qualities), and living in a nicely updated version of her shabby-chic London flat, which has to have quintupled in value since 2001.
|
|

|
|
It feels cheap to draw a parallel between Minaj and President Trump, but the attitudinal similarities—the obsession with winning, the instinct to dismiss critics as losers or liars, the paranoia, the rabid fixation on the initial victory rather than the ensuing work—are also too obvious to ignore.
|
|
There is a digression, too, on the Western funeral industry's fixation on "dignity," by which they really mean silence, composure, and repression—this, too, is a moment of genuine feeling, and Doughty shows that though her tone is often light, she has the capacity to move and enrage.
|
|
At the time, Drake was considered a total lyrical lightweight, roundly mocked for his "hashtag" punchlines and one notorious radio "freestyle" in which he read his lyrics off his Blackberry (you could probably argue his current fixation on revenge is still about proving his critics from this period wrong).
|
|
Covid-19 is about 80 percent similar to SARS, as Hotez pointed out in his recent testimony to the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology of the United States House of Representatives, but we were caught flat-footed by a fixation on "innovation" and lack of public options.
|
|
And of course, Taylor Swift, whom Ms. Bryan has studied in depth, from that singer's early-career fixation on cool girls and the girls they exclude, and also the way she alternates between breathlessly racing through syllables and then pulling back to hit a few of them with power.
|
|
Hannity said the story became the media's "fixation" on Thursday night, and that the mainstream media "were too busy being the sheep in their echo chamber" to cover the story of text messages sent between FBI agents that Hannity argues show political bias in the investigation against Trump.
|
|
His career-long fixation on his own contradictions eventually consolidated into an aesthetic, one that gave rise to a generation of male artists, such as Drake and The Weeknd, who wallow in soft self-loathing and explain away their loutish behavior as the result of melancholy and bruised ego.
|
|
But as the UC Irvine researchers—and a story in WIRED—noted, Price's extraordinary feats of recollection were accompanied by a kind of obsessive-compulsive fixation on recording the details of her life, one that appeared to have taken root after a "traumatizing" move to LA when she was a girl.
|
|
That said, I wonder if my fixation on Shredder, this silent, dangerous person who holds your life in his hands, led me to be a little too eager to forsake safety precautions—and whether my fascination with martyrdom led me to mistakenly identify as a submissive for a long time.
|
|
In the final days of this campaign, we have returned to where we began, with an odd fixation on whether this man who aspires to the presidency can avoid saying anything ignorant, bigoted, inscrutable, or otherwise disqualifying for an hour or so at a time, once or twice a day.
|
|
Netflix was among the best-performing S&P 500 stocks in the first quarter, but the recent volatility in tech stocks and fears it may give up its market leadership due to valuation concerns, and President Donald Trump's fixation on Amazon in particular, make the winning bet on this sector tenuous.
|
|
Last year, in his valuable book "The Testing Charade," Harvard University's Dan Koretz aptly captured this tension, noting that tests provide valuable insight into how students, schools, and states are doing — but that testing has also been distorted by overuse, ill-conceived accountability systems, and a fixation on test preparation.
|
|
Mr. Wellerstein is worried over the Trump administration's fixation on hints that North Korea would consider "denuclearization," which North Koreans tend to mean as gradual and mutual easing of tensions but which Americans read as complete North Korean disarmament — an expectation that Mr. Wellerstein called "bizarro" in his Twitter feed.
|
|
But the liberal establishment's fixation on Facebook's 2016 sins — first the transmission of fake news and now the exploitation of its data by the Trump campaign or its appendages — still feels like a classic example of blaming something new because it's new when it's the old thing that mattered more.
|
|
Today I'd say that the metal scene is not even to be considered a subculture anymore, but a huge global music community; I'd hope this has made it easier for non-males to feel comfortable in their music preference, but instead the sexism and fixation on appearance is much more obvious.
|
|
At the time, I was slightly worried that there was something wrong with her — at best she was a proto-goth who would be really into the Cure as a teenager; and at worst, her questions meant she had some troubling anxiety that was emerging through a fixation on death.
|
|
But operatives overseeing the midterm effort and some lawmakers facing difficult re-elections are growing more alarmed that Mr. Trump's fixation on the Russia inquiry, personal slights and personality clashes inside and outside his White House are only encouraging his congressional and conservative news media allies to swerve off message.
|
|
If Mr. Trump is winning the contest for mindshare, the more important question is whether he's really winning — whether the fixation on attention is an astute assessment of where the real power lies in our times, or just the superficial and maybe uncontrollable pursuit of attention for its own sake.
|

There's also the fact that, prior to carrying out this plan, Uematsu wrote a letter detailing his bizarre fixation on killing people with disabilities, offering to eradicate mass numbers of them so long as the government changed his name and ponied up some serious cash to help him start over.
|
|
By last summer, Ms. Geiger said, she was smoking up to two packs and a half-ounce of weed a day; she had also developed obsessive-compulsive tendencies that manifested as ruminating thoughts and a fixation on keeping her nails — which she'd begun painting on the advice of an ex-girlfriend — pristine.
|
|
Some of Mr. Trump's top lieutenants, like Vice President Mike Pence and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, have called attention to the Uighurs' plight, but given the president's fixation on tariffs, he may well decide to hold his fire about the Uighurs to appease Mr. Xi in pursuit of a trade deal.
|
|
Jimmy Butler's M.V.P.-worthy impact at both ends has been so instant and dramatic that the Wolves, who didn't even reach the postseason in Kevin Garnett's last three seasons in Minnesota, are on a 52-win pace — despite the inevitable news media fixation on how much Coach Tom Thibodeau relies on his starters.
|
|
Alice is defined by her love for her child, some evoked elements of her pseudo-Buddhism (skull beads, mantras, the hippie-dippie healer she imports into the city to lead her in yoga and tisanes), and her professional life in fashion, which manifests for most of the book as a fixation on boots.
|
|
Mr. Trump's fixation on Barack Obama's birth certificate gave him the white nationalist street cred that no other Republican candidate could match, and that credibility has sustained him in office — no amount of scandal or evidence of incompetence will undermine his followers' belief that he, and he alone, could Make America White Again.
|
|
As a survivor and an anti-rape activist, too often I leave these movies feeling wrung out, triggered, and frustrated — at the filmmaker's fixation on making audiences and victims relive the trauma of sexual violence over and over again, and failure to seize opportunities to help viewers understand their power to make change.
|
|
But underlying all the blood and gore, Goldberg&aposs unhealthy fixation on those he loves might be attributable to a surprisingly common condition called love addiction — a desperate need to find someone to love unconditionally fueled by the irrational fear of being alone or being rejected, according to The Ranch Treatment Centers.
|
|
The attack by Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier stunned the nation -- especially after it emerged that they targeted her due to their fixation on "Slender Man," an internet boogeyman In a deal with prosecutors, Geyser pleaded guilty to attempted first-degree murder and got 40 years in a mental institution instead of serving jail time.

|
Dr. Jamie Hakim, the author of the study and lecturer in Media Studies at the University of East Anglia, based his research on qualitative interviews with a small sample of young white men in Britain, who spoke to the relationship between the fixation on their appearance and the fallout from Britain's 2008 financial crisis.
|
|
Their Tumblr fanbase seems to fall mostly into that demographic, though many of the biggest fan blogs are run by young women in Australia or the UK. Their Reddit fanbase is harder to pinpoint, but the fixation on merch and branding makes the discussion read like young boys hanging out in a streetwear forum.
|
|
With the Trump administration working to finalize its choices for who will run the Pentagon and State Department, it's becoming clear that getting top national security posts in the new White House requires two qualifications: intense personal loyalty to Donald Trump himself and an almost obsessive fixation on the potential threats posed by radical Islamic terrorism.
|
|
But the right's enduring fixation on Obama and sex—its impulse to find the secret sexuality in innocuous things the former president does, the insistence that there's something wrong or hidden about his sexuality—is ironic considering the current president has allegedly had multiple extramarital affairs and been accused of sexually assaulting or harassing more than a dozen women.
|
|
You can go all the way to 83x with software-enhanced zooming if you really want, so Oppo's fixation on the 10x setting for the literal name of the phone feels misleading — not to mention that this phone really has three prime lenses with software to fill in the gaps, rather than an actual zoom lens.
|
|
If Donald Trump wins the Republican nomination — or, heaven forbid, the White House — it will be partly because we in the media justified saturation coverage of him by pointing to polls, which in turn legitimized his fixation on them as proof that he's up to the job: He must be, because plenty of people apparently picture him in it.

Verizon CEO confirms interest in buying Yahoo Cramer game plan: Beware this falling knife Ford CEO: Auto industry is being underestimated "Not only that, but this endless fixation on rising wages, without caveating the numbers by considering that so many states and cities have raised the minimum wage because it's a digitized economy, is ridiculous," Cramer said.
|
|
At the same time, by acquiescing to a center-left stratagem, the anti-establishment left forfeits its own ability to shape the public perception of the Resistance; and because the center-left is where the fixation on Russia originates, the most salient means of opposing Trump is viewed as taking him down on Russia-related grounds.
|
|
Even if we leave aside the unproven but disturbing allegation that he molested his daughter Dylan Farrow, there is the undisputed fact that he has a sexual fixation on teenage girls (an obsession that features in many of his films) and that he had an affair with Soon-Yi Previn, the daughter of his then-partner, Mia Farrow.
|
|
The reverence that is paid to the minutiae of refugee life, a brilliant choice, is sometimes undermined by too much fixation on detail — the protagonist repeatedly turns his head to observe too closely his own feces; his wife; the clippings of his filthy hair; the smooth stump of an amputee; a dying bird; a dying gecko, etc.
|
|
Instead, Trump fell into the same trap as the cosmopolitan sophisticates — acting as though the specter of panic is worse than the disease itself, focusing on the more reassuring estimates of the virus's fatality rates instead of recognizing the wide spread of possible scenarios — while mixing in his own short-termist fixation on the stock market.
|
|
Fan-unearthed racist tweets from one white cast member featured during Rachel Lindsay's recent season of "The Bachelorette" didn't come up on the show explicitly, but whether producers knew about his beliefs was heavily debated online, and there was a noteworthy fixation on the racial tensions between him and a fellow black cast member for several episodes.
|
|
It's a much more simplistic and less bleak take on female friendship and betrayal than Fleabag's first season, but the influence of Phoebe Waller-Bridge's breakout creation is visible in both the unravelling of the friendship and in its fixation on the masks we put on for others, the energy that goes into maintaining them, and why.
|
|
Announcing the charges at a banquet center not far from the Flint River, Bill Schuette, the state's attorney general, described "a fixation on finances and balance sheets" as at the root of what happened in Flint, where the water has been tied to the lead poisoning of children and the deaths of 12 people from Legionnaires' disease.
|
|
Even at its strongest, Iran is of no threat to the U.S. Washington's fixation on the Islamic Republic mostly reflects the concerns of allied states, particularly Saudi Arabia, a wealthy and well-armed monarchy, which is more repressive politically and radical theologically than Iran, and Israel, a nuclear power and regional superpower, which is well able to defend itself.
|
|
Instead, Mr. Kelly is giving every indication that he and his vast department are fully on board with executing Mr. Trump's fixation on protecting the nation from an imaginary siege at the southern border, while waging an all-out deportation campaign against millions of unauthorized immigrant workers and families who pose no threat to the nation.
|
|
President Donald Trump's fixation on border security in the closing weeks of the campaign has given a tight-knit group of senior staffers from the White House and several departments the chance to put Trump on the record, yet again, on immigration policies he touted aggressively in 2016 but which had faded amid the mayhem of his early presidency.
|
|
For example, the fact that the character Teacher Stuart (Sheppard) has become emotionally involved with Teacher Caroline (Kidwell) remains hidden for some time, and when their relationship is revealed, it's shown to be deeply inflected by a fixation on the other's racialized otherness, though that otherness is also treated as something to be protected from strangers' contempt.
|
|
And where a fixation on mortality in his art had roots in childhood — his mother died of tuberculosis when he was 21897, his sister when he was 21887 — the morbidity that ran through Expressionism was a reflection of the present, a time gearing up for the Armageddon of World War I. Whatever the differences, younger artists learned from Munch; and he from them.
|
|
But it has also been caused by self-imposed constraints: an anti-tax ideology that rejects virtually all sources of new public funding; a fixation on deficits at the expense of the deferred maintenance bills we are passing to our children, particularly for infrastructure; and a political system so partisan that previously bipartisan ideas like bridge and airport upgrades are nonstarters.
|
|
Given that the President has failed to divest from his own business interests, which are currently held by a revocable trust managed by two of his sons, and in light of the questionable circumstances surrounding the business dealings of Ivanka Trump and Kushner while they serve as senior White House advisers, Trump's fixation on the Bidens' conduct looks like politically motivated crocodile tears.
|
|
In an editorial in today's USA Today, Trumka's message was eerily similar to Trump's recent fixation on But Trumka did not mention the GOP front runner even once in the editorial and the Power Lunch anchors challenged the labor leader on whether he's trying to ride the wave of Trump's popularity without having to actually support or even credit the controversial candidate.

"(The Russians) have taken Trump's measure and while they are willing to exploit his goofy fixation on Putin and naive sense you can do deals with someone like Putin ... they realize his clownish performance as president makes it really hard for him to deliver on any of the big things that Russia wants," said Andrew Weiss, a former national security council Russia expert.

President TrumpDonald John TrumpFacebook releases audit on conservative bias claims Harry Reid: 'Decriminalizing border crossings is not something that should be at the top of the list' Recessions happen when presidents overlook key problems MORE's fixation on a border wall, and his willingness to leave the "Legends" of the Coast Guard unpaid shows just how bankrupt his policy prescription is for border security.

It is weakening our political and social bonds, separating our economic fortunes and driving bitter cultural divides...

|
|
Mixed messages on the status of an agreement have been coming from two sides close to the White House: Advisers who want to calm the markets and at the same time appease Trump's fixation on stock performance, including National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, have been expressing optimism in recent days that a deal is almost completed.
|
|
While Giuliani's fixation on Ukraine dates back to 2017 and he spent the spring of 303 using Spygate talking points to discredit the former FBI director Robert Mueller's probe, he didn't really start his anti-Ukraine social media campaign until March 22 of this year — the day Mueller submitted his report on Russian interference in the 2016 election to Attorney General Bill Barr.

Genevieve: I'll throw in a couple more subtle nods to this episode's thematic fixation on our food and where it comes from: Mischa is smuggled out of the country inside an empty refrigerator, and when Elizabeth returns home from her first trip to Kansas, she joins Philip on the couch in front of a nature documentary showing footage of bees pollinating plants and making honey.

As generations of Hispanic-American immigrants increasingly blend into the American mainstream, focusing (most effectively, I should add) on obtaining a quality education, a good job, and providing for themselves and their families, the Democratic left, with its fixation on identity politics, tends to typecast Hispanic-Americans as simply members of a "non-white minority" in need of all manner of government protection and programs.

Even some of the most bizarre facts of online life chime with what's come before: Anyone familiar with the ancient Egyptian fixation on felines (cat mummies, cat statues, cat pictographs) and the mid-century American obsession with TV would at least have some pretext to accept that one of the largest conglomerates on the planet is the owner of a massive video site with millions of cat clips.

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump in recent days has fumed about the immigration courts that handle cases of people seeking entry into the US. But Trump's fixation on the courts and the judges who staff them flies in the face of what his attorney general has been trying to do to reshape the courts to align with the President's vision, including hiring more immigration judges and restricting asylum laws.

My fixation on this question began with President Donald Trump's tweets to North Korea's Kim Jong Un. This was the president of the United States, the man who controls the world's largest nuclear arsenal, launching deranged, unvetted provocations at the most singularly irrational regime in the world: Just heard Foreign Minister of North Korea speak at U.N. If he echoes thoughts of Little Rocket Man, they won't be around much longer!

The second, more complicated, and more pernicious part of the Little Distraction strategy is that the fixation on the Three T's makes Americans more likely to overlook what actually are the most sensitive issues: exposing wrongdoing by Chinese leaders and criticizing specific policies; encouraging political organizing in China; calling for regime change or suggesting the Party should not rule China; and actively campaigning for the independence of Taiwan, Tibet, Xinjiang, and more recently, Hong Kong.

After describing his "quick wit, dizzying writing style, and willingness to say absolutely anything about anybody" in "a catty, caustic way," and his fixation "on culture, style, buzz, and money, money, money," Cottle essentially argues that Wolff is more of a gossip compiler than a rigorous reporter: Much to the annoyance of Wolff's critics, the scenes in his columns aren't recreated so much as created — springing from Wolff's imagination rather than from actual knowledge of events.

" Since then, the list of writers considered for the award has encompassed a wide swath of genres and levels of critical acclaim: Tom Wolfe, Norman Mailer, and Manil Suri have won the award, as have lesser known authors, like Wendy Perriam, whose passage from Speak Softly won her the 2002 prize by virtue of its fixation on the eroticism of pin-stripes: "Weirdly, he was clad in pin-stripes at the same time as being naked.

Before Forbes pronounced her the world's youngest self-made billionaire, before the bombshell story in the Wall Street Journal, before she faced up to 20 years in prison for massive fraud and conspiracy, and even before she purchased a Siberian husky for several thousand dollars and then told everyone he was a wolf (adopt, don't shop), Elizabeth Holmes was a 25-year-old Stanford dropout with a visionary idea, a bizarre fixation on Steve Jobs, and a mousy brown bob.

And I am left standing on the sidewalk, bereft of the narrative I want from life in the Vanderpump bubble: the sense that I live among these people, and that as much as I mock the cast members' disheveled apartments, and their fixation on the idea that Lisa Vanderpump is a tastemaker, and their dumb drama and their even dumber need to tell me about it, I am still allowed to go to their parties, and to know all of their secrets because of their show.

Looking at arrests instead of convictions yields a similar outcome, where total arrests of illegal immigrants for those same crimes were 40 percent lower than those native to the U.S. In our current meme-driven culture, where many conservatives are quick to remind everyone that all lives matter, the irony should not be lost that that principle seems to step aside here for a disturbing fixation on anecdotal headline crimes from a group that actually looks to be a dramatically safer member of the community.

In the course of my conversations with dozens of compulsive gamers, a familiar narrative began to emerge: A young man repeatedly suffered some form of rejection from his peers; hurt, he turned to video games to soothe and distract himself; the games gave him a pretense of the kinship and achievement he never knew in the real world; when he left home for college or moved into his own place — and the familial checks on his day-to-day activities were lifted — his fixation on games intensified until it consumed him.

Following a hip-hop twist on her show's theme song — performed live by Saweetie — Bee monologued about Jared Kushner's hollow bird bones and former Attorney General Jeff Sessions' fixation on Civil War generals; sang about the erotic power of a good piece of investigative journalism ("I wanna be a notch on the Washington Post"); sang again about the mealy-mouthed habit the mainstream media has of describing racist behavior in euphemistic terms (a riff on My Fair Lady's "The Rain in Spain"); shouted-out her dad in the crowd; excoriated Sanders some more ("Her looks are the best thing about her … but on the inside it's as hideous as a pinworm in an anus," a reference to a controversial WHCD joke last year about Sanders' eye-liner); and addressed President Trump directly, in case he happened to be watching.
