- Summary:
- The remarkable paintings and drawings of Eugene Berman (1899-1972) seem at first glance to delineate a self-contained, private realm. But in truth, his precise depictions of decadent beauty and ruin reflect an attitude towards the past that is shared by a fascinating array of artists from both his own time and today.
