...EDOUARD MANET painted At the Railroad Station; four years later Claude Monet painted a similar scene. Manet chose to depict two pretty women sitting under a sunny sky with the station creating a bland industrial backdrop. Monet omitted the smiling women, painting only the dark, smoky blue train station; and the opening shot of Julia is a technicolor replica of his ominous image--an image that is repeated frequently throughout the film. Julia is the story of Lillian Hellman (Jane Fonda) and her childhood friend (Vanessa Redgrave) whom she christens "Julia," who together lost the insular beauty of their adolescence...
...part of its 50th Anniversary celebration, Harvard's own Fogg is displaying 150 of its rarest paintings, including works by Rembrandt, Botticelli, Monet, Degas, Picasso and Pollock. The chief complaint of Fogg officials is that they don't have enough gallery space to accommodate their ever-growing collection of acquisitions and their plight is illustrated in this slightly cluttered exhibition.

In Epstein's shot of trains, freight cars stand placed right and left, blocking out a space in which the smoke of a man's cigarette spirals into clouds Monet might have painted. The arrangement of bathers on Rubinfien's beach and stairs is reminiscent of classical paintings like Raphael's "School of Athens," especially since Rubenfien captures one old man who could easily pass for Socrates emerging from the water. These photographs all evoke multitudes of other images--perhaps...
...show at Manhattan's Pace Gallery (through Feb. 12), Dine once again deals with a commonplace object-a bathrobe, which he has painted over and over again with the persistence of Monet inspecting a lily pond. But the mood has changed. At 41, Dine has become a more somber painter, and a more ambitious...
