...frayed hole at the elbow, emblematic of poverty, brilliantly accentuated with a few impasto flicks of white light on the dangling threads to give a hint of contrast to * the massive carving of the rest of the forms) to the shrouded face whose eyes Zurbaran loses in blackness to suggest the hermetic nature of the saint's vision. His gaping mouth is doubled in the gaping eye sockets of the skull he clutches. The eyeline is set low, so that the saint towers over you even as he kneels. The light snatches the forms out of an eroding darkness...

Certain television producers understand this instinctively, which is why Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas do not star in a show called Toronto Vice. Canada's rising cosmopolis may suggest a bright promise of public responsibility and efficiency, but it is Miami whose hard-edged pastels define the pitiless sensuality...
...many housing units. The Cambridge PBH has been tutoring kids for many years. When are the "big-wigs" in Harvard College 'n' City Hall goin' to wake up to the fact that kids up at PBH are doing just what Senator Kennedy is tryin' to do.
