...quite coincide with the old. This is true of modern art, too, which itself has become old; and it even applies to impressionism, the most accessible, popular modern movement of all. Sometimes later styles "reinterpret" earlier ones, as abstract expressionism fostered the present veneration of the late works of Monet...
...good barbell for beginning weight lifters, is a collection of Harrison's photos, reflections and lyrics. Many of these are printed not only in elegant type but also in their original scribbled state, with inks and stationery letterheads reproduced with the craft and fidelity usually reserved for a Monet. Though he wrote Here Comes the Sun and Something, Harrison was not the foremost of the Fab Four as everyone - perhaps including George himself - would agree. "The small change of a short lifetime" is the way he describes the contents in a foreword. "I have suffered for this book...
...problem is simply that except for Cassatt, none of the Americans whose work reached toward what was being done in Paris by Monet, Renoir, Degas or Pissarro could consistently perform on a high level.

Hassam's view of a victory parade in 1918, The Union Jack, New York, April Morn, with its vibrant banners hanging over a throng...
...better than France's First Lady to open what could become France's First Garden? A palette of colors again are the grounds at Giverny that Impressionist Claude Monet planted and painted for 43 years. They withered after he died in 1926, but are now restored. Indeed, a photograph of Anne-Aymone Giscard d'Estaing, backdropped by blossoms, looked a little like a Monet...
