...huge tapestry curtains woven at Aubusson to designs by Australian Artist John Coburn are soggy pastiches of Matisse's paper cutouts. In the foyers, no effort to mask and confuse the nobly strict curves of the roof ribs has been spared: one is met by a jumble of well-made but visually meaningless joinery, as if some gnome from the stingyback forests had gone berserk promoting the rarer Australian hardwoods...
...words, The Crimson plunged into its second century. the first century had been memorable: Crimson editors had gone on to become presidents, Pulitzer Prize-winners, Marxist economists, business magnates.

Because Arikha uses undiluted black ink on untinted white paper, the shifts of tone depend entirely on the pressure of the brush. But his sense of gradation, from deep velvety blacks through grays to un touched white, rarely falters...
