...foreign students -- Cormon's, Carolus-Duran's, Collin's -- all had, in addition to their stock of Americans, a number of Japanese students. Many of the students would have preferred to study with the new masters whose work was creating a modernist sensibility, but Van Gogh was dead, and Picasso did not teach...
...general the Japanese in Paris were conservative in their taste, preferring as models Renoir and Monet to Picasso. Some of the high points of this show are conservative in the best sense, such as Kishida Ryusei's superrefined Still Life (Three Red Apples, Cup, Can, Spoon), 1920, in which the Japanese passion for wabi -- unfussed, natural simplicity -- finds its way into a still-life scheme inherited from Andre Derain.

...murderous barber with a Marxist-sounding class grievance and a woman companion who cooks his victims in pies (Sweeney Todd, 1979); the impossibility of marriage (Company, 1970); and the decline of the chorus-girl kick line as a metaphor for the loss of American innocence (Follies, 1971). Like Picasso, who painted a few realistic canvases as if to demonstrate he could, or Eugene O'Neill, who leavened his epic tragedies with one comedy of formula perfection, Ah, Wilderness, Sondheim proved in his lyrics for West Side Story and Gypsy and his words and music for A Funny Thing Happened...
