Ruth Cobb, at 93; paintings evoked a dreamlike state Feb 3, 2008
Art historian Francine Koslow Miller of Andover said in an essay to accompany the Brandeis exhibit that Ms. Cobb's art could aptly be described as intimiste, the French word often associated with the mood of late 19th-century paintings by two of Ms. Cobb's favorite artists, Edouard Vuillard and Pierre Bonnard. The term, which evokes a middle-class life characterized by intimate, cozy domesticity, also aptly describes Ms. Cobb's delicate and subtle interiors, Miller wrote. (Boston Globe)

Degas, Monet highlights of exhibit Dec 30, 2006
Less important works are two Renoirs, which don't represent the artist at the height of his impressionism; ''The Two English Friends'' by Edouard Vuillard, which doesn't have the intense patterning and rich textures of the artist's best paintings; and the Toulouse-Lautrec, which is just a shadow of his most famous work. But then there are the grand sculptures of Henry More and Jacques Lipchitz. (Cape Cod Times, MA)
A public show of a private collection proves a mixed blessing at the MFA Dec 29, 2006
A 1923 painting by Edouard Vuillard of two women in a room, one nude and the other helping her to dress, is another intriguing oddity. And a 1934 stripe-patterned portrait by Picasso of his lover Marie-Therese Walter is arresting for its boldly colored abstraction, even if it is not among his best works of the period. (Boston Globe)
