...example among many is Woman with a Coffeepot, circa 1895. One would need to go back 400 years, to Piero della Francesca's Madonna del Parto, to find a painted human figure of such monumental gravity. All is volume, all is power, not only the large masses--the head that seems hewn from some skin-colored rock, the torso and the flaring blue pyramid of the skirt, the cylindrical coffeepot and the cup with the spoon set vertically in it--but also the microforms, such as the knot tying the woman's apron at her waist, which has the finality...
...many mistakes made in this relatively short article was the misidentification of one of the arrested students as the current and sole social chair of our house committee. With relative ease, Mr. Kaufman would have been able to find that the current social chairs of the committee are indeed Francesca Bosco '98, Susan Chen '98 and Elizabeth Montgomery '97, none of whom are the individual Mr. Kaufman named...

Like Piero della Francesca, Vermeer was a highly inexpressive artist. He didn't even paint a self-portrait, as far as anyone knows. You come out of the exhibit knowing almost as little about Vermeer the man as when you went in. Biography, faint: Lived in Delft, a backwater. Son of a silkworker. A Papist in a Calvinist town. Quite successful nonetheless. Married...
Certainly, they have added their own touches along the way--Waller's Francesca had a "hint" of an Italian accent, which Streep expanded to create an exaggerated, yet truly convincing, Italian voice for Francesca. Eastwood, who is also the director, is not precisely the long-haired hippie that waller describes, but is nonetheless perfect as the "last cowboy" with a profound wanderlust...
