...reconstructed, MOMA is still managing to play host to the kind of exhibition that will bring hundreds of thousands of people to a place with no hot restaurant and no cabs. At a time when the museum blockbuster is threatened by high insurance rates and topic fatigue--there are Monet haystacks I see more often than I see my mother--"Matisse Picasso," which comes to the U.S. after hugely successful runs at the Tate Modern in London and the Grand Palais in Paris, is proof that the blockbuster can still be a public service, not to mention a supreme pleasure...

Sternfeld teaches “Landscape Photography” this...

If you overlook the thatched-roof bamboo huts, Muslim mosque?some of the KMT were Muslim Chinese?and Buddhist temples, the place looks almost like a Monet painting...
