Adrian Harris and Louise Cart-wright arrived at their spacious shell in Hollis on the first day dorms opened in September. Things began well enough as the two of them unpacked their belongings and decided, compatibly where to hang their impressionist prints and ivy pots, and agreed on where to place the beds, desks and chairs. There was not a whole lot of room for creativity, but the process occupied most of the first week-end of freshman week and provided ample time for the two to discuss their families, high schools and become acquainted.

Policemen should be employed to go out and gun down all the easels that cluttered up the beautiful countryside, he remarked one day. And once, on passing an Impressionist canvas whose subject was buried...
...show includes more than 150 works by 85 painters. Some of them, like American Impressionist Mary Cassatt and her French counterpart Berthe Morisot, are already embedded in the history of modern art. Others, just as famous in their day, now seem more like footnotes than culture heroines: Rosa...
