...growing consensus that gigantic black holes lurk at the core of many galaxies--including our own--was confirmed by Holland Ford, now at Johns Hopkins, and his collaborators, who used the Hubble to spot a superheated disk of gas spinning at a dizzying 1.2 million m.p.h. at the very heart of the galaxy M87, 50 million light-years from Earth. The only reasonable explanation: the gas is funneling, like water down a drain, into the gravitational pit of a black hole as massive as 2 million suns...

The momentum of his work begins with landscape--the delicate screens and friezes of trees above watery meadows, in their pearly gray light. The color explodes in 1908 with his Mill in Sunlight, an orgiastic...
