...summer fields, a humid-swamp night scene-can be readily identified by any Texan. But his grasshopper is not just a laboratory specimen; it is a wondrous creature of heat and noise. When he painted Brahma Bull, Dozier did not try to provide a guessing game for Texas cattlemen adept at estimating values on the hoof, but to capture "the thing you always feel about a bull. He's the most powerful of the animal kingdom, and he seems to know it." In Place in the Desert (see cut), viewers are more likely to respond to Dozier...
While still emphasizing content, there are indications that Shahn has become more interested if not merely more adept, in form and color in his recent work. He has become more abstract.

Wright started all four games for the Penn freshmen last year, and broke away for one long touch-down run against Cornell. Sikarskie saw little action last year due to an ankle injury. He is especially adept at quick starts and defensive play...
...lacks the experience required of a national officer. But being mayor of the City of New York is by no means a limited experience. That Wagner cut crime by 21 percent in New York City is not a recommendation for the Armed Services Committee, but Wagner proved himself equally adept in modernizing the city government, improving education and hospital facilities, and directing slum clearance. He has shown a Roosevelt-like ability to pick excellent advisers and to use advice effectively...
