...jolt to the senses. In the superabundance of his strange devices, there are still things that shock. In the El Greco show that opens this week at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, there are nearly 80 of his canvases, including many of his most headlong, floodlit and clamoring. Earlier this year, for its exhibition of small drawings by Leonardo, the Met sold magnifying glasses at the door. For this one, they may want to think about Ray-Bans...
