Last spring, I wrote the best paper I've ever done in my life. The subject: American Impressionist Mary Cassatt. One of the few woman artists to gain critical recognition, and one of two Americans whose work hangs in the Louvre, Cassatt made images of women and children that are honest, straight-forward and, above all, very human. Her best works are her prints. The Raltimore Museum put together an exhibit of her graphic work several years ago that I kick myself for missing, but through December 31, the Alpha Gallery at 121 Newbury St. is presting a selection...
...international publicity following the destruction of the first art exhibit apparently had an effect. Scores of KGB agents stood quietly by while more than 10,000 spectators inspected some 150 paintings done in a variety of contemporary styles, including abstract, surrealist, impressionist and pop.

"Contemporaries of Degas," being shown in conjunction with the Museum's highly publicized Degas exhibit, displays lithographs, etchings and a few oil paintings by artists who explored the same subject matter as Degas or who were greatly influenced by the "reluctant impressionist." Prints by Toulous-Lautrec, Signac, Vuillard and Daumier are organized around the themes of women, nightlife, the circus--subjects which have rarely if ever been treated with as much insight and relish as in the works of these artists. "Paris Observed" is a brief but memorable introduction to mid-18th-century Paris...
...nowhere. As composer and keyboard man with Miles Davis from 1963 to 1968, Hancock long ago made his mark in the jazz community. When he stepped out on his own, it was to make a series of innovative LPs for Blue Note and Warner Bros, that combined an almost impressionist sense of harmony, fleet melodic lines and sprinting tempos...
