...captured, contains intense emotional value. The photographs were shot with a largeformat view camera whose slow exposures and sizable 8x10 inch prints produce an almost magical sharpness and delicacy of color. All the photographs in the museum, and the majority in the gallery, were taken over two summers at Cape Cod. There, after many years' experience photographing in black and white on the streets of New York, Meyerowitz was struck by a beauty that, as he recently recounted in a museum symposium, "liberated me from the incident." He was enamored by the purity of the light, "a light that cast...
However, beneath his first astonishment, the gallery-goer can feel an obscure troubling of dissatisfaction with this work. In an articulate, chummy interview published in the catalogue that accompanies the museum show, Meyerowitz cites the painter Edward Hopper among predecessors who have taken the Cape for a subject. The comparison is instructive: Meyerowitz has, like Hopper, great feeling for the season, weather, time of day in the scene he records, and has a similar ability to make the commonplace seem monumental.

Her entrance in the first act rescues it from tedium, and in subsequent scenes Lewis outclasses the other players in dramatic ability and depth of character. Only in the last act does she fail to hold her own, lapsing into moon-eyed fatuousness at Jeffrey Harper's words of love...
