'Mastery of the human condition'

Girlhood'', by  the late THERESA BERNSTEIN, in the show "Theresa Bernstein:  A Century in Art'', at the Heftler Gallery, Beverly, Mass., through July 11.

The show is meant to acquaint viewers with "her mastery of the human condition.''

As often is the case in these days of identity politics, Ms. Bernstein's relative obscurity is blamed on her being a woman and so not being given adequate respect and publicity. I don't know about that, but she certainly was a fine painter.
