...Ginza, the Yoshii Gallery, sold a Rouault oil to a collector for $2.6 million last year, and Japan's new passion for Western painting has been reflected in similarly inflated prices all the way down the line. Works by the old reliables of the Paris School-Chagall, Modigliani, Renoir, Picasso-many of inferior quality and some of them outright fakes, routinely go for 20% to 2,000% above their New York or London prices. About 500 galleries have mushroomed in Japan, and especially along the Ginza, in the past few years. Says Dealer Yoko Fukushima: "The mad Japanese buying...

...hardly denying his right to make social statements. But like Godard, he forgets or ignores the fact that in art as implicit social criticism is far more effective than explicit didacticism. Thin of Rules of the Game. Unlike Tanner, Jean Renoir understand that the best way to show how society maltreats people was through the struggles of his characters to define themselves while playing their game. In the Renoir film we are dealing with people who are truly caught between expediency and integrity...
