...HEART IS A LONELY HUNTER. Alan Arkin's magnificent performance as the mute in this Hollywood adaptation of Carson McCullers' novel is the only real glimmer of poetry in an otherwise determinedly prosaic film...

Yet, while artisans were elevated to the status of artists, painters often became as subservient as craftsmen. The vast majority of oils, watercolors and drawings made by Fragonard, Boucher, Watteau and Nattier to decorate boudoirs and gaming rooms were skillful but skin-deep pictures of pretty ladies, handsome gallants and idyllic landscapes...
