This is not to say that her paintings all have the same enviable unity. Schutz attempts something similar in “The Gathering,” which can be read as an allegory of the art world. Nice sentiment, but when the man is a woman her reach for excellence can leave her stretched to death. The seven large-scale sculptures in the show, by the way, also abound with narrative incident, but lack the cleareyed vigor of the paintings. **Tracey Emin, the British artist and brand name, seems like the opposite of Dana Schutz.
