...Black himself, has the same sort of deceptively casual air as Black. He likes to drape his long, thin frame over a chair in his First Boston office, fix visitors with his liquid brown eyes and invite them to "walk around the problem." The walk is friendly and pleasant, but when it is over, the visitors usually find themselves accepting Woods's view...

Why should "an only moderately proficient painting called Le Trompeur and a pleasant but unexceptional still-life, without dates, signatures or certifications, be offered as Manets when the best you can say for them with certainty is that in a weak way they share certain characteristics of Manet's art? And when a painting is recognizable...
