...HENRI ROUSSEAU by Dora Vallier. 327 pages. Abrams. $25. In contrast to the splendid presence of the Goya volume (see above), these two large and well-made books might seem modestly conceived.

...artists on display in Pittsburgh will be remembered longer than, say, Gaston La Touche, a 1907 winner, or 1947's Zoltan Sepeshy.
