...light and wind stream from the blue, heat radiates from the brown. Motherwell's Elegies to the Spanish Republic, a lengthy series that lasted some 30 years and ended after the death of Franco and the restoration of parliamentary democracy in Spain, are best seen as an American pendant to Picasso's Guernica, though with different imagery. Black in the hands of some painters-a Manet, a Goya, a Matisse-is a color, not an absence of light; and el negro Motherwell, as the Spanish poet Rafael Alberti called it, sometimes acquires a walloping chromatic power...
This was also true of his prints. In the past few years Stella has emerged as one of the leading American peintre-graveurs-artists whose printmaking is an integral part of their work, not merely a pendant to it. A retrospective of Stella's prints, accompanied by a full catalogue by Art Historian Richard H.

No trouble picking him out of the crowd in the cornfield...
...Cambridgeshire, 21 miles north of Ampthill Park, where Henry's abandoned Queen died in 1536. The castle, now a girls' school, yielded nothing. Then Thomas took a shrewd tack. He researched Williams' own background for links, figuring rightly that the author would have buried the pendant in a place he knew. Ultimately, however, success was due as much to luck as to deduction. Driving past Ampthill Park one afternoon, near a spot where Williams had once lived, Thomas let his dog out for a run. The dog gave him a leg up on his search by discovering...
