...Masses" and "The Invocation of Camelot" are abraded and blistered beyond repair. Another, "Hoving Accepting the Love of His Curators," has almost vanished. Close analysis suggests that the figures previously supposed to represent "The Purification of the Collections" are in fact a recondite allegory of "Charity to Dealers." The chiaroscuro here is very deep. Condition of other areas, especially "The Domination of the Trustees" (far right), is stable. Not deaccessioned. On interim loan to Caribbean...
What counts for most executives and wage earners, though, is not the national but the local scene. People in every state have had a substantial rise in personal income in recent years (see chart). But this year there is a remarkable chiaroscuro of regional lights and shadows in the U.S. economic picture. A guide to the variations, from brightest to darkest...
...claims to be just an experiment, but his awareness of their smooth, rolling contours can't be missed in his later handling of hats in "Hat Factory" (Luzzara Italy, 1953) (seen in the remarkable tow-violence retrospective monograph published by Aperture this year), and even in the Chiaroscuro of dark and light is such foreign architectural structures as "Gateway" (Rabat, Morocco...
Caravaggio's sense of theater furnished a host of imitators with a fresh vocabulary. The Caravaggisti were not a closely knit group or even a specially gifted one-though they included some painters of undeniable power, like Orazio Gentileschi.

To be sure, from Summer of '42 to Carnal Knowledge, total recall gluts the screen. There is nothing very ingenious about replaying Hank Williams records or showing a kinescope of Strike It Rich. But Bogdanovich has gone far beyond simple souvenirs. His film miraculously recaptures life-styles and attitudes-sexual, social, political that have almost vanished from the national consciousness...
