...from Fauvism to Cubism to Dadaism, and with new fashions developing in geometric progression, it is graced by a label which, while evoking instant recognition (everyone's aunt gushes over "the lovely Impressionist paintings"), does not really set any limits on an artist's self-expression. Impressions pure and simple. Few painters escape the biggest pitfall along this path--a surrendering to the superficial image, a revelling in aesthetics and the senses as a compensation for one's alienation from modern life, what Walter Pater called a "quickened multiplied consciousness"--yet Malet seems...
...century art--should be the vehicle for this man's repeating for fifty years the same kind of radical challenge to the etiquette-formal image. After all, wouldn't an old man view the scene about him somewhat differently than a young one? This may be explained by the pure accident that there are very few of them on the market just now, so it is possible that the artist did make weird and wonderful journeys in the tangled warren traversed by the successors of Manet, Degas, et al., but here, now, it is hard to trace a great deal...

...reached adolescents sitting at home with transistor radios and he reached their older siblings on wheels. Although it is fashionable now to sneer at the musician-turned-glitter star, his influence on popular music was once very real. His popularity did not arise in the beginning out of pure hype. Simple songs of affection like "Your Song" and "Daniel" can still move those who are disposed to be moved. If less memorable, cheerful piano boogie numbers like "Honky Cat" and "Crocodile Rock"set many feet tapping when the American Top 40 smiled on them four or five years...
