...Purchase of Two Decades" exhibit shows, there has been no simple pattern to Coolidge's acquisitions. Morris Louis' "Color Barrier" (1961) hangs across from a Japanese painted screen of Magnolia blossoms against a gold background, and a Rembrandt is close to a Persian miniature. The exhibit (and Coolidge's purchasing pattern) is heavy on 17th century Dutch works because few gifts have been received from that period, and light on Impressionist paintings, which Harvard received in abundance from the Wertheim bequest...
...rolled onto the museum floor. Out from its pink, uterine interior stepped Phyllis Kronhausen, 39, dressed in a see-through minidress and nothing else. Neither she nor a stark-naked violinist offered much competition to the art, which included erotic Indian sculpture, a Guinea fertility goddess, a Rembrandt etching of the artist and his wife disporting in a four-poster bed, a Picasso engraving of a couple copulating, and a vast variety of dildos and phalli...

...Beethoven and Mozart never heard the sounds of today-the ringing of a telephone, the roar of a jet engine starting. If they had, perhaps they would have utilized them in their music.

Frankly, I would like to work with these composers who write crazy music, but they are terribly isolated. They should collaborate with performers; then, instead of looking to new instruments to produce new sounds, they would develop insight into...
...There is sexy balletic humor in a spoof of Arab amour that features sinuous ballerina Willy de la Bije as the most languid odalisque ever to scratch herself where it itches. Most ambitious American entry is Glen Tetley's The Anatomy Lesson, which takes as its starting point Rembrandt's famous painting of the white-ruffed, black-hatted surgeons of Amsterdam, solemnly posed around the dissecting table with its pallid corpse. In Tetley's version, the naked corpse (danced by Jaap Flier) suddenly twitches, sits up, leaps off the table, and begins to dance his yearning...
