One of the masterstrokes of this small but rich exhibition is that, wherever possible, the designers of each pattern are credited near their fabric samples, and each dress or suit is likewise attributed.

The first movie's vault into our reality was one of its biggest masterstrokes, so it makes plenty of sense that The Lego Movie 2 would try to make the same leap, both early and often.

So be glad "You Won't Even Know I'm Gone" and "You Can't Break a Woman" on marriage and "People Get Old" and "Young and Angry Again" on the passage of time are close enough to masterstrokes themselves.

In reality, it's more like a dungeon-crawler with guns, and while there's plenty of scope for tactical masterstrokes and carefully-calibrated teamwork, it's not so much a DOOM game as an engaging, combative co-op in a DOOM skin.

Game of Thrones keeps saying that Cersei is cornered and on the last legs of her power, but then all it actually shows us are bold masterstrokes that make it seem like she's about to win the war without even having to try that hard.

Except for the somewhat too-vivid yellow of the marshals' armbands — arguably, the picture's only flaw — and the almost bridal whiteness of the little girl's dress, which is one of its masterstrokes, the only patch of color that's meant to draw the eye is the stain on the wall behind them, the residue of a flung tomato.

Cruz is expected to compete in other southern contests -- including Louisiana on March 5 and Mississippi on March 8 -- and caucus contests like Kentucky could be attractive to them without Rand Paul in the race (Steve Munisteri, a former senior Paul adviser, said there was no chance that Paul would endorse.) But people skeptical about Cruz's chances think that if Cruz flops on Tuesday, whatever masterstrokes he has planned for later in March won't matter.

The pedal point for trombones in the "Hostias" section of the Requiem is often cited; some musicians such as Gordon Jacob have found the effect unpleasant. Macdonald has questioned Berlioz's fondness for divided cellos and basses in dense, low chords, but he emphasises that such contentious points are rare compared with "the felicities and masterstrokes" abounding in the scores.Macdonald (1969), pp. 256–257 Berlioz took instruments hitherto used for special purposes and introduced them into his regular orchestra: Macdonald mentions the harp, the cor anglais, the bass clarinet and the valve trumpet.

"Let's Dance" was described by Ed Power in the Irish Examiner as "a decent chunk of funk-rock". Writing for the BBC, David Quantick said "the combination of Bowie and Rodgers on the title track was perfect – Bowie's epic lyric about dancing under 'serious moonlight' and the brilliant filching of the crescendo 'ahh!'s from the Beatles' version of the Isley Brothers' 'Twist and Shout' were masterstrokes, each welded to a loud, stadium-ised drum and bass sound". In his retrospective review of the Let's Dance album, Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic called the song, along with "Modern Love" and "China Girl", a "catchy, accessible song that has just enough of an alien edge to make [it] distinctive".

Roger Ebert loved the film, calling Herzog's casting of Adjani one of his "masterstrokes" in the film. He wrote that she "is used here not only for her facial perfection but for her curious quality of seeming to exist on an ethereal plane." The cast and the crew filmed both English- and German-language versions simultaneously upon request of 20th Century Fox, the American distributor, as Kinski and Ganz could act more confidently in their native language. In 1981, she received a double Cannes Film Festival's Best Actress award for her roles in the Merchant Ivory film Quartet, based on the novel by Jean Rhys, and in the horror film Possession (1981).

Sarpaneva thought the turning point in his career came for him at the age of 22 when he received the second prize in the Riihimäki Glass Design Contest – second only to his college professor, Arttu Brummer, who won the top award. Sarpaneva worked intermittently with metal, wood, textiles, ceramics, and porcelain (china), while glass remained his main medium from his earliest awards for much of his life, both in industrial design and in display art objects. Trained as a graphic designer, he spent the majority of his life in industrial design while seeing himself more as an artist than a designer. But he discounted the option with a joke when confronted with rumors that Andy Warhol had suggested Sarpaneva's fabrics were masterstrokes ready to be framed as paintings.
