...National Gallery. Bought after the boom in 19th century French impressionists was well under way, the paintings in the Niarchos show will include no less than four each by Cézanne, Gauguin and Degas, six Rouaults, nine Renoirs, seven Van Goghs, plus outstanding works by Matisse, Picasso, Toulouse-Lautrec, Goya, Delacroix, Corot and El Greco (see color pages).

...period sets of the 1920s in Paris and Pamplona, through which these disoriented drifters pass, are gaudily authentic, and indoors or out, the color camera work (directed by Leo Tover) catches the blues of Toulouse-Lautrec in Paris, the gold of Goya in Spain's sunny streets. Against these backgrounds, the essence of Sun is played out. The difficult role of Brett's ultimate conquest, young Bullfighter Pedro Romero, is played with fierce intensity by handsome newcomer Robert Evans. In the movie's arena sequence, Actor Evans conveys Hemingway's paradoxical feeling of affection for what...

...join the gentlemen on horseback at the Bois de Boulogne with Toulouse-Lautrec, or scale the white stone heights of Montmartre's Sacre-Coeur with Utrillo, or decorate the Eiffel Tower like a Christmas tree, as Seurat's fancy did. Telescoping the centuries, one can see the coronation of Napoleon or Marie Antoinette in prison. Here is Paris drinking the cocktail of the sun, and here is Paris wrapped in the misty veils of a Salome. These books present a courtesan, the irresistible city of a thousand wiles, painted by her infatuated admirers...
