The article presents information on various developments related to art. New York is seeing two exhibitions of superlative quality this season, both to remain open till the first week of January. The one of Van Gogh at the Museum of Modern Art and the one of the French eighteenth century at the Metropolitan Museum are alike in a single respect-that the works in them are perfectly chosen, otherwise they differ as widely as it is possible to imagine. The eighteenth-century paintings, sculptures, and engravings are so far from all our turmoil that it is worth while to have glanced at Van Gogh-whose art is completely opposed to them-in order to appreciate the abyss between the two periods.
