...Mather's dining hall is remarkable for the way in which it defrosts the cold impersonality of Mather the Gallery.

High up on one wall is an illustration of two huge eyes--guess whose?--with a godlike sunburst beaming out from between them. The Artist's private office has a papal portentousness to it--the doors are made of stained glass.
