...catalogue introduction, Curator John Walker achieves what is perhaps the best definition yet of "primitive painting"-at least as it applies to the Garbisch , collection.

"His Object All Sublime' is a thinly veiled parody of a local figure. Besides not being especially funny, it's taste is questionable. And "The Future of Shakespeare at Harvard" revolves on the worn theory that the verbose extension of an absurd idea is uproariously funny...
