...approach the beautiful, sure clarity with which Rem brandt set down, in a few streaks and slashes of bistre, a windmill facing the estuary from an old bulwark of Amsterdam.

Once again the Morgan Library, eschewing...
...which opens this week in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., is provocative but tantalizingly incomplete. The Hermitage has, for instance, 23 Rembrandts, and Hammer & Co. managed to extract just two, painted some 20 years apart. One is a tender portrait of Rembrandt's young bride Saskia, resting her hand on her presumptively pregnant belly; the other is a magnificent, hauntingly evocative biblical work painted when intimations of mortality obsessed the artist.

...contraction, of elevation, of "growing pains," of terror, of playfulness, of ecstasy. Simply to turn this catalogue of seeming abstractions into something palpable and concrete and real is a measure of the extraordinary achievement of the play. The players who perform the feat are Gerry Bamman, Tom Costello, Saskia Noordhoek Hegt, Jerry Mayer, Angela Pietropinto and Larry Pine. To single out one would be to slight...
