...program continued with Henri Dutilleux's Symphony No. 2 from 1959, "Le Double," for large orchestra and chamber orchestra. Here was a symphony embodying many of the most favored textures and planar forms in this decade's classical music. When one considers that Dutilleux, who walked onstage to accept an ovation after the performance, was once a contemporary of Shostakovich, the character of his work becomes all the more remarkable...

...space. The white has traces of black to reveal the underlying layers of the painting as well as to indicate the presence of the painter himself. High Street (1950) portrays a more complicated definiton of space less successfully through the application of black and white.

...paint and dense with melancholy, or, in the area of abstraction, Erick Stenberg. In the 1960s and '70s, Stenberg's work was a prolonged meditation on constructivism and suprematism, the chief movements of the "classical" Russian avant-garde in the years just before and after the revolution: finely tuned planar constructions in a pale, deep space. Lately, in a way that parallels Malevich's return to peasant themes in the 1920s, Stenberg has deepened his color and turned to images of a remote village where he spends part of his time: bare roads, cottages, grave markers, religious symbols like...
