...Angelica's Bequest. Half of the original 14 who showed at Florence were soldiers. Using portable easels and small canvases, they painted things that academicians shuddered at-prostitutes, troop maneuvers and barefoot peasantry. Then they turned to the subject matter that early French impressionism grew fat upon: landscapes populated by rocks and sheep, woodsmen warming in a shack, wheat harvests, the faces of peasants-all done in the subdued tonalities of their dulcet quattrocento ancestors, Fra Angelico, Domenico Veneziano and Piero della Francesca. This week in Manhattan, a show of 92 works goes on view at the American Federation...

Inevitably the crackup comes. First it is "greengage" (marijuana), then "the loony-bin" at Belmont...
...excluded; James treats them all with tender indulgence. The majestic agonies of Augustine are followed by the fussy gropings of an alcoholic. The founder of the Quakers, George Fox, has a vision of blood flowing through the streets of Lichfield (where Diocletian slaughtered 1,000 Christians), and strides barefoot through the city, crying: "Woe to the bloody city of Lichfield!" The doughty little evangelist Billy Bray hears the Lord speaking to him. "Worship me with clean lips," the Lord thunders. In ecstasy, Billy stomps on his favorite pipe, muttering solemnly: "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust...
