Max, for instance, or Albert Maignan's Passage of Fortune, 1895, with its gauze-veiled figure of Lady Luck bumping on her wheel down the steps of the Paris Bourse? In such respects, the show will do much to replace the "heroic" image of early modernism?the intransigents battling the Academy?with a cozier picture, in which pompier and avant-garde share the common ground of being figurative, of supplying comprehensible images...
