...summer's finer print shows. "Contemporaries of Degas," being shown in conjunction with the Museum's highly publicized Degas exhibit, displays lithographs, etchings and a few oil paintings by artists who explored the same subject matter as Degas or who were greatly influenced by the "reluctant impressionist." Prints by Toulous-Lautrec, Signac, Vuillard and Daumier are organized around the themes of women, nightlife, the circus--subjects which have rarely if ever been treated with as much insight and relish as in the works of these artists.

Some of the best customers of art galleries on Madison Avenue and the Faubourg St. Honoré these days are dealers from Tokyo or Osaka, their pockets stuffed with yen, who are willing to pay astronomical sums for French impressionist paintings. Japanese buyers are equally conspicuous at the yearling auctions in Saratoga and Deauville, bidding handsomely for the best thoroughbreds. In fact, the Japanese seem to have supplanted the stereotype Texans as the world's most eager status seekers...
