...Velazquez has never been seen as anything but the summit of excellence in art, embodying a degree of intelligence, pictorial skill and lucidity of realization that defy not only imitation but, in some final way, analysis itself. He is to realism what Piero della Francesca is to abstraction. First Edouard Manet and then a whole succession of French painters from the 19th century into the 20th (not to mention English and American ones as well, in particular Sargent and Whistler) were transfixed by Velazquez when they found him on their pilgrimages to the Prado. Francis Bacon contorted Innocent X into...
...worried Chamberlain telephoned French Premier Edouard Daladier and said Britain could not wait 48 hours; Daladier said it must. Halifax called Bonnet and proposed that an ultimatum be delivered at 8 a.m. Sunday, to expire at noon. Bonnet insisted on no ultimatum before noon. Halifax said the House was meeting at noon, and any further delay would mean the downfall of the government. He said that if necessary, Britain would "act on its own."

After he was born, David received an injection...

After an extended fact-finding tour of Lefebvre's religious houses last year at the Pope's request, Canadian Edouard Cardinal Gagnon, a Vatican official highly sympathetic to traditionalists, sent John Paul a favorable report, typing it himself to keep the recommendations confidential. Lefebvre then put the pressure on, threatening for the first time to ensure his movement's future by naming schismatic bishops. The Pope directed Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, the Vatican...
...Asheville, N.C., in 1951 and is certainly among the more gifted American artists of his generation. But this show's catalog hums with inflated comparisons and claims. "He seems formed in the Manet mold," writes one contributor, Ian Dunlop, adducing by way of proof that Sultan, like the great Edouard, is ambitious, paints images from "modern life," looks at old master paintings, etc. Sultan does have a crush on Manet; a small still life with asparagus pays homage to Manet's famous single asparagus stalk, and a little detail of masts and sails in Manet's Moonlight over Boulogne Harbor...
