NORA ORIOLI-D'Arcy, 1091 Madison Ave. at 82nd. Although she is known in her native Italy as a social realist, Nora Orioli seems more a pleasant genre painter, to judge from these picaresque and pastoral scenes that spring from lean, refracted layers of gloomy paint covered with glaze. Through...
METROPOLITAN-Fifth Ave. at 82nd. Anyone with enough derring-do to push through the wooden tunnels disguising the Met's current dishevelment (it's installing air conditioning) will discover...

A new ceiling and a new molding copied from the original have been added...
