Thomas Gainsborough, for example, is represented most tellingly by a flamboyant "fancy picture" (a fantasy) of a sleeping country girl. John Constable's Study for "A Boat Passing a Lock" illustrates through its snapshot organization and cavalier brushwork his influence on Delacroix, Millet and Corot. Hardly less impressive are five canvases by the provincial Joseph Wright of Derby (1734-97), which range from a firelit Iron Forge to the protosurrealism of The Old Man and Death...
Love at First Snapshot. Canny, cautious and quiet through all the intrigue of the seven governments that came and went until he and Ky took power in June 1965, Thieu stayed close to the shifting center of control. Though he was chief of state in the military government that ruled Viet Nam until last week, and thus was nominally No. 1, Thieu was overshadowed by the flamboyant Nguyen Cao Ky, who as Premier visibly ran things. Thieu seemed a man more private than public...
...private life was distinguished by something still rare in Asia: a marriage not of convenience but of love. As a young officer he had been attracted by a snapshot carried by a colleague of a pretty Delta girl; he sought her out, fell in love, and in 1951 married her. Nguyen Thi Mai Anh was a Catholic, Thieu a Confucian Buddhist, but for her he promised to convert to Catholicism. He finally did in 1958-just in time, his detractors say, to help his army career under the Catholic Diems...
...inch forward toward their goal, the action stops to let each one run over in his mind a private snapshot album of The Ways Things Were. And over across the hill, the Japanese are doing the same. Every cliche is in its niche: the sensitive downy-cheeked youngster who wants to be a lawyer; the noble captain (Wilde) who tells the lad that he "will be a better lawyer for all this"; the hillbilly hankering after "jes' one more woman afore Ah git it." Grisly glimpses of shot-off limbs and other carnage lend the film a certain sense...
...motion and other optical effects, and Zero presaged the founding of half a dozen other experimental groups in as many different countries. Another leader is Painter Gerhard Richter, enigmatic 1960 fugitive from East Germany's socialist realism, whose eerie and deliberately vague and cryptic oil renderings of commonplace snapshot subjects, magazine and catalogue illustrations have elicited viewers' shudders and critical raves throughout West Germany, Switzerland and Italy...
