Great art takes time to appreciate, even if it is a straightforward as a Persian manuscript or a view of the National Gallery of Art in Washington. But for those who prefer to sample a wide variety of art in a short time, the current exhibition of "Small Paintings" from the collection of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Mellon is a visual feast.
The exhibition, which opened on Saturday and will remain on view until February 2, includes 50 paintings and drawings from the Mellon collection. The works, which date from the 17th century to the present, are all less than 15 inches in the greatest dimension.
The Mellon collection is a treasure trove of small masterpieces. The exhibition includes works by some of the most celebrated artists of the Western world, including Rembrandt, Goya, and Picasso.
The exhibition is arranged chronologically, beginning with two 17th-century Dutch paintings. One of the highlights of the show is Rembrandt's "Self-Portrait," a small but powerful work that captures the artist's intensity and vulnerability.
The exhibition also includes a number of French Impressionist and Post-Impressionist works, including a beautiful small landscape by Monet and a still life by Cezanne.
In addition to the paintings, the exhibition also includes a number of drawings, including a delicate sketch by Picasso and a powerful drawing by Goya.
The exhibition is a reminder that great art can be found in small packages. It is also a testament to the discerning eye of Paul Mellon, one of the most important art collectors of the 20th century.
Berenson camp mounts a counteroffensive
By Robert Taylor
At large
I met him first in 1977. Since then I have seen him only a few times. But in that short time, he has become one of the most important figures in the art world.
Bernard Berenson, the dean of art historians, is now in his 90s. He is a small, frail man, but his mind is still sharp. He is a man of few words, but when he speaks, he speaks with authority.
Berenson has been a controversial figure for many years. He has been accused of being too close to the art market, of being too willing to authenticate works of art for a fee. But he has also been praised for his scholarship and for his ability to see the beauty in art.
In recent years, Berenson has been the subject of a number of lawsuits. He has been accused of authenticating forgeries, and of making mistakes that have cost collectors millions of dollars.
But Berenson remains defiant. He continues to work, to write, and to defend his reputation. He is a man who has dedicated his life to art, and he is not about to let a few lawsuits stand in his way.
In the coming weeks, we will be publishing a series of articles about Bernard Berenson. We will be looking at his life, his work, and his controversial reputation. We will be talking to his friends, his colleagues, and his critics. We will be trying to understand the man who has been called the "Pope of the Art World."
In the meantime, we invite you to share your thoughts about Bernard Berenson. What do you think of his work? Do you think he has been treated fairly by the art world? Let us know what you think.
