By Alyson Brodsy and Ben Nuckols · Thursday, Nov. 16,2006 12:02 a.m.

BALTIMORE -- When Gustave Courbet painted "The Stream of the Puits Noir," or black well, he emphasized the noir. The picture is drenched in black to the point of near-abstraction.

"Courbet and the Modern Landscape," an exhibition on display at the Walters Art Museum, makes the case for Courbet (1819-1877) as a radical. Best known for his realist, figural pictures such as "Burial at Ornans," Courbet churned out countless landscapes in his late career, but many of them were painted by assistants with only a brief touchup by the master.

By Harlan Cohen · Monday, Nov. 13,2006 10:44 p.m.
