[ED: Taschenbuch], [PU: Lulu.com], Print edition. This book contains 250 anecdotes about art and artists, including this anecdote: New York artist Raphael Soyer visited the Sistine Chapel, where he marveled at the paintings Ñ Michelangelo had painted the ceiling when he was in his thirties and many years later had painted The Last Judgment on the wall. After Mr. Soyer had seen the Sistine Chapel for the first time, he and some friends saw an exhibition of European and American non-objective paintings. A young woman who was connected with the exhibition asked him (a friend translated the Italian) what he thought of the paintings. Rather than criticize them directly, he merely replied, ÒTell her that I saw the Sistine Chapel this morning.Ó The young woman understood. The friend translated her reply: ÒTrue, this [exhibition] does not speak to the heart."
