Mette thought Paul's pictures were very pretty and perfectly respectable (at first, they were). The clash came when Paul began buying paintings by a group of eccentrics who were called Impressionists-Manet, Monet, Pissarro, Renoir. They were then looked upon by the French art world as something like a bunch of nudists at a bishop's tea. By the time Mette had borne her third child, father Gauguin...
...modern style construction would not clash with existing buildings, Chermayeff added, "because the essence of Harvard is not a particular style but the blending of styles." He noted "the archway entering an open area, and the view onto a closed quadrangle." There are no enclosed courtyards in the student design...
