Realism at whose prow he is usually placed is in many ways the least of it. Several works could easily date from the 20th century by artists like Balthus Picabia or Max Ernst. What Courbet made most real was the sheer implicitly ironic uncanniness of painting itself which he conveyed in a commanding discombobulation. Some paintings barely hold together; others collapse inward into strange shapeless masses… org; closes on Sunday. More than 30 years later Ms. Wilson is having a show of her own 1970s work which was in sync with early feminist concerns about distorted and self-distorting images of women.
