...weather was a bit too warm, foliage cut down visibility, and there had been no early snows to drive deer and elk from the high areas. But the early-season shooting was fairly good nonetheless. Stalking through the valleys, over barren ridges, through clumps of quaking aspen and oak brush, across rocky peaks, the luckier hunters had plenty of chances at game...
...Georges Rouault's Nude had been done with just a few swirls of a heavily loaded ink brush. Her head was heavy and rough as rock, her breasts were like sheep's eyes, her puny thighs terminated in doughnut knees. But the picture's very crudeness gave it drama. Backed into a dark corner, the body was startlingly white.

Abandoning Matisse, he found a more congenial master in Renoir, though he never approached Renoir's skill with a brush. A third of the paintings in last week's show were studies of Peirce's third and fourth wives and their five children, warmly and sometimes clumsily pictured in action. Today his kids chase Indians, blow trumpets and sail boats across the walls of a number of leading U.S. museums. Far from being great art, Peirce's paintings of his family glow...
