Though her oils sparkle with the French impressionists' gay, effervescent color, she does not share their brief encounter with wind and weather. Instead, she sets down a gossamer tapestry of nature that, though fragile and even frivolous, appears timeless. Sunshine unabashedly pours from the clouds; foliage and fogs spring lively to the breeze that sweeps a meadow...
Here was lust and love, birth and creation, hell and despair; and each emotion showed not only on the faces but in every muscle of each arm and leg. The portrait busts seemed timeless, as if the sculptor knew no theme that was not eternal. The Auguste Rodin show at Manhattan's Museum of Modern Art was near perfection-the superb work of a giant superbly installed.

The figures pray or weep, bend in joy or agony, play out roles in a cobbler's shop, or at the foot of the Cross. They all bear the same basic message: all men live...
