Here again it is plain that the assigning of one long term paper to be handed in at the end of a course, militates against any kind of worthwhile communication and instruction. Dividing the paper work through the course of the term would, incidentally, relieve the burden of the grader in reading hundreds of final examinations and term papers at the end.1

The Christ carries the experiment to the ultimate, and the effect is something of a shock. The greenish corpse fills almost the entire canvas, the marks of suffering still plain to see. The ungainly intimacy of the portrayal has an impact of its own: few portrayals of the Pieta evoke such a powerful sense of grief and of pity for the tortured Christ-or of outrage for his murderers...
