...Dyck was truly a painter's painter. There is nothing intimidating about his work, as there often is about Rubens'. He loved private character and painted the interplay between that character and the public mask with a sensitivity that few artists have rivaled since. Sometimes he would seem to have done this by guesswork. His 1633 portrait of Henry Percy, "the Wizard Earl" who spent 16 years of his life immured in the Tower of London for his supposed complicity in the Gunpowder Plot, is an icon of saturnine intellect, from the same introspective domain as Robert Burton...
...bandleader Gerry Mulligan, 63, is particularly impressed by Wynton's developing skills as a composer and his "sensibilities as a bandleader."

The solid blocks of monochrome color are seen through the decisive black curves that define the nude figure. We cannot be certain that the figure is the subject matter of the work. We begin to suspect that the blocks of color--overpowering the transparent figure by virtue of their expansiveness and contrasting tones--are themselves...

Among the everyday elements featured are sponges, licorice, and wash clothes, covered in bright yellow paint. The vivid color and interplay of textures draw the veiwer in to examine what beneath the paint creates the unusual texture. The painting is fun to look...
