Whatever this puzzling giant of a painting may have been intended to mean, it remains one of the pictorial achievements of the 19th century. To see it surrounded by the rest of Courbet's work, as a climax to his prodigious energy, is a revelation...
Dean Fox said yesterday, "The Vorenbergs have done a very good job--they are energetic and very successful masters." He added that administrators seeking a new master for Dunster will solicit suggestions from students as well as from tutors and House associates...
