...Southwest-to go hand in hand with the vast technical and industrial development of the area." In his latest haul, he is certain that he has netted at least two beauties: Zurbarán's Mystical Marriage of St. Catherine ("It gives you a feeling of serenity") and Goya's Man on Horseback ("It's fabulous-a joyful painting...
...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...

Read in fiery Russian by the poet, and in English by Stanley Kunitz, William Jay Smith, Richard Wilbur and W. H. Auden...
