...Hogarth depicted ordinary people as they lived. He was an inspiration to Goya and Daumier. His rough dramatic paintings also helped open the way for the French impressionists to chronicle the real world around them. He was a Shakespeare in oil paint...
...Bradley Smith. 296 pages. Simon & Schuster. $30. An explosion of color that richly and often wittily tells the complicated story of Spain's long journey from obscurity (TIME, Jan. 21). The somber Iberian chord is struck again and again-in El Greco's haunted saints and cities, Goya's grim disasters of war, processions of penitents flogging themselves and one another. Appropriately, the final plate is Picasso's brush drawing of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza...
...Cola, is a cubistic jigsaw-puzzle picture of the go-go generation. In his usual abrupt abstract style, Godard scatters the screen with dissociated pieces of plot: a Marx-marked high school dropout (Jean-Pierre Leaud) meets and mates a Coke-stoked rock-'n'-roll belter (Chantal Goya), but not long after dies in an absurd accident, leaving the girl to face an amateur abortion performed with a curtain rod. The puzzle is further complicated by irrelevancies: switchblade suicide, lesbian interlude, subway murder, movie within a movie within a movie that culminates in a very dirty joke...

Read in fiery Russian by the poet, and in English by Stanley Kunitz, William Jay Smith, Richard Wilbur and W. H. Auden...
...Cleveland's finest acquisitions are Goya's portrait of the Infante Don Luis de Boróon and Ribera's Death of Adonis (see color pages). Both works demonstrate Lee's flawless flair for picking a masterpiece that is also an unusual example of its kind. "The modern audience," says Lee, "has come to look to Goya for a brush that is wicked and bitter. But this portrait is of a man that Goya respected and admired. Clearly, he would never win a prize for handsomeness, but there is a sensitivity in his eyes and warmth...
