...people who run Harvard run it the way they do--because it is really running them. When Harvard bleeds its unions at the bargaining table, when it spreads out into the city and evicts tenants along the way, when it tells its students they will have only the tiniest say in forming a new curriculum, and no say at all in deciding whether to get rid of certain lucrative stocks or a well-endowed name on its new library, there is always a good reason for doing so.

But Close's big paintings, each head 7 ft. or 8 ft. high, try not to make any generalizations at all. Every feature is recorded in its tiniest particular, with the strange result that his subjects become almost unrecognizable - they are veiled by the surplus of information on the canvas. As a consequence, Close's works are among the most troubling icons of American art in the '70s. He is perhaps the only artist...
