...animated films, Down in the Deep is amazing as a curiosity: made in 190 in color, each frame was hand-painted. Otherwise it is boring, a sentimental undersea adventure with stilted mermaids. Dreams of Wild Horses (1960), on the other hand, tears at the viewer with the same urgent power with which two stallions in the film dance and kick and bite.

But in general it is clear that in the expressive Chinese phrase, the "mandate of heaven" had been withdrawn from most traditional-style Japanese painting by the turn of the century. No matter; the viewer goes to this show for its older works, and they are superb...

He reads the eyes of his subjects, waiting for that second when they reveal the facet of character he wants: he allows an older puffy-faced Capote to stare dully past the viewer; he confronts Igor Stravinsky eyeball to eyeball; and he has Sculptor June Leaf look through...
