One of the best things about the sudden profusion of Cezanne-and-his-progeny shows is the opportunity to see how other artists learned from — and measure up to — the father of modern painting.

Just when you thought that you were finally making headway through the riches of the Philagrafika shows, 90 clay shows and events are starting to open all around town.

Illustration: Owen Jones Middle Ages Ornament from his The Grammar of Ornament 1856 Interestingly Owen Jones called the colour plates dedicated to the chapter dealing with medieval ornament in his 1856 book The Grammar of Ornament , as Middle Ages , while he entitled the chapter itself as Medieval Ornament .
