...disappear in a skin-tight jump suit with ostrich-feather cuffs under a "cage" of black chiffon, latticed with black velvet. Another black and white effect, frequently mistaken for a painting when it was standing still, was the calfskin coat by Furrier Jacques Kaplan, stenciled by Op Painter Richard Anuszkiewicz in a dotty pattern that focused disturbingly on Mrs. Lee Lombard's pretty kidneys...
...single color looks darker than it is against a lighter background. Some, like Steele, place contrasting shapes together, which cause the eye to perceive them alternately as figure and ground; the theory is that such shifts move between stimulation and repose, possibly to relieve eyestrain. Richard Anuszkiewicz, 34, plays with afterimages, or the way one color engenders the false sensation of its complement on the retina. In his Union of the Four (at right), the red pigment throughout the painting is the same hue, despite what the eye sees...
American Impersonality. The Americans, such as Julian Stanczak, 35, who roomed with Anuszkiewicz while studying under Albers at Yale, try not to imitate nature.

Precise black and white herringbone lines constantly wriggle, peak and valley, in an embodiment of vertigo. Visitors have become nauseated and dizzied by Riley's intense, chattering images that force their eyes to jerk to and fro. Not simply geometric tricks, they are larger than sheer optical delusions: orderliness clashes with chaos in the precarious proximity of black and white bands. They also...
...coiffed, sad-eyed Marisol Doll by Marisol; a block-toy chess set by George Ortman; William King's Pop guns; Lanny Powers' alphabet blocks, in which M stands for Marilyn Monroe. Among the playful creative elves: Andy Warhol, Robert Indiana, Ellsworth Kelly, Alexander Calder, Richard Lindner, Richard Anuszkiewicz. Through...
