THE ANDO\ El Greco's Masterpiece, "The Annunciation," At Addison for One Week Every once in a while something extraordinary happens that makes you stop for a minute just to be glad that this is happening to you. that you haven't inadvertently sidestepped a momentary experience that is lastingly enriching. Sometimes it is planned but often you stumble upon it unaware. It was like that on Tuesday when I rushed up the hill to the Art Gallery to see what "this picture" was all about that is being shown for just one week in connection with Patrick Morgan's lecture on "The Background of Modern Art." The exhibit was being hung in the large room upstairs and people were dashing around measuring and planning and discussing what would go where, but in the center of the long wall, its serenity undisturbed by the bustle, was IT, El Greco's master- piece of "The Annunciation," its radiance undimmed by the centuries. It would be possible, I suppose, to put to prosaic words the qualities of the painting that make it great, El Greco's use of color, his rhythm of lights and shadow, the emotional and story-telling elements. But it is better to slip quietly into one of the gallery benches, to absorb and store up the beauty that emanates from the old masterpiece. Showing the gradual build-up in emotional intensity and drama as the Renaissance artists increased their knowledge of illusionistic paintings are other interpretations of the annunci- ations, while other works of El Greco, including his "St. Jerome," and of his contemporaries show the trend of the time. Samples are: Allesandro Magnasco's "St. Jerome Praying," Rembrandt's "Christ on the Cross," Simone Marlini's "The Archangel Gabriel" and "The Virgin," and Tintoretto's (Jacob Robiesti) "Study From an Antique Head." A separate exhibit but not out of keeping with the won- ders of the old masters and the preservation of their works through the ages is a photographic collection assembled by the editor of Life in collaboration with the American Com- mission for the protection and salvage of artistic and historic E1 Greco's "The Annunciation" at Addison Gallery for one wdek, monuments in war areas which is also current at Addison.
