Keeping an appropriate distance, the Boston Museum presents this show with a minimum of fanfare: no special installation, on wall labels. The viewer does not even have titles to distract him. The art speaks for itself; it is not staged to beat the Museum of Modern Art. But with this small, unpublicized show, the Boston museum subtly presents its permanent collection from a new angle, making the eye compare established art of the past with art today. The confrontation continues through Monday...

Girls in white pinafores stare from the spacious brown canvas by John Singer Sargent across an empty room to the portraits on the opposite wall.

Often sympathetic, especially about her favorites, she can also be sarcastic, as she showed when she cut up Julie Andrews: "There is a kind of flowering dullness about her, a boredom in rosy bloom-she is about as seductive as the average waitress at a teahouse." At times, she can be downright mean. Melina Mercouri, she reported, "had wall-to-wall hips, an ear-to-ear mouth, and more teeth than a pretzel has salt." Occasionally, the sarcasm cuts...
