...home territory-and yet, in a way, new ground-for Artist Geoffrey Dickinson, whose work for the BBC, Punch and other publications is well known in Britain. "I know this world, this swinging London," he said, discussing the cover assignment. "I have many friends who go to Dolly's and do the whole scene. But I wouldn't say that I am in the scene myself. I wouldn't describe myself as a swinger. So I had a lot of research to do." He prowled from Carnaby Street to King's Road, slipping...
...Julie Christie goes to in Darling, at Robert Eraser's art gallery on Duke Street. There she sees Fashion Designer Pauline Fordham in a silver metallic coat, Starlet Sue Kingsford in a two-piece pink trouser suit with a lovely stretch of naked turn, Los Angeles-born Pop Artist Jann Haworth Blake, Detroit-born Negro Model Donyale Luna.

His masks painted on brown wrapping paper are cutting satires. "They are not caricatures," Steinberg insists. "They are the faces, the masks of the middle class. What people...
Except for the glint of halos, the figures in this youthful Madonna, despite their hierarchic gestures, are close kin to flesh and blood. Subtly but simply, the artist has divided his composition in two: at right, the blue haze dissolves into atmospheric depth; while at left, the leafy, lemon-bearing latticework seems to push the Madonna's arm forward. The artist flips her cloak inside out to balance the push and pull between foreground and background, playing its green lining against distant hills, its blue surface against the trellis...
