...auction at Sotheby's in London last week, U.S. Collector Charles B. Wrightsman bought for $392,000 the Duke and Duchess of Leeds's portrait by Goya of the first Duke of Wellington.

Yet Velásquez sang a song of life as rich and full as any of his countrymen...
...sadness of Spain and the monotony of the Spanish coloring is admirably reflected in the work of Tàpies, Millares, Saura, Rivera, Chillida, as it was in the work of their forefathers Goya, El Greco, Juan Gris, Julio Gonzalez, and still is in some of the best work of Picasso...
