KAREL APPEL-Hahn, 960 Madison Ave. at 75th. Appel pummels the canvas in violent combat with his images, beating his nudes into a submission that they mock with their startling audacity.

The hot, flat fuchsias, reds and greens of this young modern primitive tangle in a fluid phantasmagoria of form, motion and space. Through...
