...except two classes: the dignified old dealers like Macbeth and the very young, radical galleries not likely to want the same pictures as the Metropolitan, like the Rehn, Downtown and Milch Galleries. Curator Burroughs selected two painters each from the Macbeth, Rehn, Downtown and Milch Galleries and one from Ferargil. Several good examples by each man were sent to the Museum. Next part of the spree was by the Board of Trustees' Committee on Painting, long a rampart of conservatism. Committee conservatives are Architect Cass Gilbert, Lawyers Elihu Root Jr., William Church Osborn and Sugarman Horace Havemeyer...

...Joshua Reynolds flattered 18th century women with his graceful, glimmering brushwork. But when he painted self-portraits, which he did at least 45 times, he exercised all the artistic honesty that Rus- kin could have wished.

The stately, long-nosed Sir Joshua wears the rickety spectacles that were harbingers of his pitifully failing eyesight. For him, shining satins would not much longer shine. Shortly after completing this prophetic portrait he made a stoically doleful remark. "All things have an end," he said, "and I have...
