Experimenting with unique subject matter allowed impressionists to stretch the limits of still life painting, and the exhibition successfully illustrates this breadth. The range of artists is also extraordinary, from those known for still lifes like Fantin-Latour and Cézanne, to those known for landscapes like Monet, Pissarro and Sisley, to those known for figure painting like Degas, Cassatt and Caillebotte...

The abortion rights faction no doubt will argue that the employment of “precious feet” pins (which depict, appropriately, a pair of infant feet) is nothing more than a form of sentimental propaganda, an attempt to appeal to the public’s infatuation with babies. This charge, however, is far from the truth...
