Inside the exhibition, one wonders what all the fuss has been about. Wyeth is clearly what used to be called a petit-maitre. He has staked out a small and somewhat predictable area of visual sensation, a narrow range of images, ideas and colors, and worked it so thoroughly as to exclude all followers. Some memorable works have resulted. The close and beautifully exact tonal painting of a landscape like Brown Swiss (1957)-"I wanted it to be almost like the tawny brown pelt of a Brown Swiss bull," he tells Met Director Thomas Hoving in the catalogue text...

At times Tacchella's characters beg to be taken seriously, but in the end he always seems to be more comfortable with group scenes and visual humor. No one in Cousin, Cousine is witty--Tacchella wouldn't allow a character that freedom. He prefers to draw back and let us laugh at people and situations--a man with his pants down at a formal dinner, a woman about to slit her wrists who stops...
