Barbara Tomlinson on select Frick Museum masterworks “Nobody does it better” Carly Simon once sang. We feel the same about Barbara—her wisdom, wit, and most importantly her unique ability to take us deep into the painterly and psychological brilliance of the paintings she discusses. This time she immerses us in a handful of the Frick Museum’s greatest portraits, these portraits also some of the very greatest in the world. The Library has free passes for patrons to visit the Frick Museum.
