...mark the event, Manhattan's Metropolitan Museum of Art has put on a sumptuous show titled "Monet's Years at Giverny: Beyond Impressionism." It contains 81 paintings-a third of them lent by the Musée Marmottan in Paris, all of them images from the garden. We see, lined up, the different versions of each motif that Monet so obsessively worked at, in every possible variation of light, laboring to divide nuances into further nuances and stabilize their intervals with the devotion of a particle physicist: the poplars, the haystacks, the rose-twined tunnel of the arbor...

...person al expenses for food (about $800 a month) and entertainment of private guests (including overtime paid to White House servants) also come out of his $1 1,250-per-month income. The same is true of vacations and insurance, taxes and upkeep on the Fords' 1971 Mus tang, two Jeeps, and residences in Alexandria, Va., Vail, Colo., and Grand Rapids - all of which add up to an eminently comfortable lifestyle...

...takes one great exhibition to open the subject afresh; and now it has come, under the title "French Painting 1774-1830: The Age of Revolution." Jointly organized by France's Réunion des Musées Nationaux, the Detroit Institute of Arts and the Metropolitan Museum, it was seen last year at the Grand Palais in Paris. In an abbreviated form (149 paintings out of the original 207), it opened last week in Detroit, and will go to the Met in June...

...from a Ring (1940-41) is a fat torus or ring sliced in half and then set up with one half balanced on the other. It is a geometrical form, like the three-dimensional mathematical models that made an indelible impression on Bill when he saw them at the Musée Poincaré in Paris in the '30s. But then the bronze surface is polished and gilded to the point where the solid sculpture almost disappears in an ecstatic dazzle of light and twisting reflections; the mathematical form condenses ambiguities...
