History has tended to side with Byron. Nonetheless, buried beneath West's studied claptrap lurks considerable native talent. This gift shines forth in an exhibit of 36 rarely seen drawings, many of them owned until recently by descendants of the painter in England, now at Manhattan's Bernard Black Gallery. Since the drawings are mostly landscapes or sketches for larger compositions, the gallery placed them, wherever possible, next to a photocopy of the finished work. The demonstration is plain: as West's ideas progressed from initial draft to finished sketch to final oil, faces froze, bodies puffed...
...masterpieces from Spain. The heavily guarded collection, estimated to be worth $10 million, includes outstanding works by Goya, Velásquez, Murillo, Zurbaran and El Greco (see color pages). It not only represents the pick of the Prado, but also includes paintings from other Spanish museums. The exhibit is designed to tie in with the fair's theme, "The Confluence of Civilizations," by demonstrating that Spanish culture is itself a confluence of influences: Latin, Visigoth and Moorish. Even more pertinent is a 1767 map showing the New World's Spanish dominions, with San Antonio...

The thesis, as propounded in a provocative exhibit currently at Manhattan's Finch College Museum of Art, unaccountably fails to note the Dadaists, who introduced purposeful mangling into art half a century ago. "There is a great negative work of destruction to be accomplished," ran the 1918 Zurich manifesto. "We must sweep and clean." But the Finch exhibition compensates by showing how large a role destruction has come to play in the work of contemporary artists...
...that time, the sun shone in Vlaminck's pictures with greater fire and brilliance than in those of any fellow Fauve, including Matisse, Braque or Derain. Two dozen of these early paintings recently gathered together for an exhibit by Manhattan Dealer Klaus Perls showed the public what had rarely been seen by any but a few diligent art historians: Vlaminck's early work, taut with a passionate precision, is the finest of his career (see color...
