...postwar French artists I respect, lumping together postwar French art with the great masters from before 1930 is artificial and unfair. The work is simply not of the same order." He is at least 91.23% correct, though the distinction is not likely to disturb the average museumgoer, who will revel in the early, if decidedly familiar canvases by Matisse, Chagall, Braque, Dufy, Derain, Vlaminck and other cubist and fauvist favorites.

"To learn," writes Eble, "is to love." Students ought to revel in discovery, he adds, but educators, from grade to grad school, have a knack for taking most of the joy out of learning...
