...cast does everything it possibly can to buoy things up. Stephen Elliott's God is a bull-roaring cosmic paterfamilias and Bob Dishy as Adam is playfully endearing as a man whose innocence has been tampered with. As Eve, Australian-born Zoe Caldwell suffers from an imperial sibilance in her delivery, which somehow implies that the Garden of Eden was the first British colony. George Grizzard's Lucifer is best of all, a celestial Richard III combining a ravenous appetite for power with silky glints of mischief...
...politics or science or both. This was not always the case. For a millennium and a half the worst horrors were theological. The fear of hell and the hope of heaven gave shape to some of the greatest achievements of the pictorial art of Europe. On this eschatological basis, Australian-born Critic Robert Hughes has compiled a catalogue of terrors and delights, drawn mainly from Italian, French, Spanish and Dutch masterworks. Man, it is clear, has found it considerably harder to envisage felicity than its opposite, and so the infernal regions have been illustrated in a highly spirited fashion...
...Francisco, Robert Arneson, 37, started out making pornographic telephones incorporating both male and female genitalia and typewriters with keyboards of secretaries' red-nailed fingers. He has since graduated to relatively clean flowerpots and realistic, 8-ft.-long clay models of his ranch house at 1303 Alice Street. Australian-born Margaret Dodd has created a rococo ceramic line of miniature cars, ranging from a Volkswagen microbus to a 1937 La Salle. David Gilhooly, 25, molds dyspeptic hippos, crocodiles and warthogs that possess much of the pudgy charm of their 6-ft. 5-in. 250-lb. creator...
...Australian-born Zoe Caldwell, who was awarded a Tony for her performance in Slapstick Tragedy, camouflages the plight of a play that has said its all in the first 20 minutes by resolute diversions of voice, manner and meticulous comic timing. Unfortunately, she would rather see through, than be, Miss Brodie. She does not trust the role enough and kids it in a slyly satirical put-on instead of letting herself be consumed by it. If she had created a warped, vulnerable, fitfully valiant and perpetually self-deluded human being, playgoers might have laughed with Miss Jean Brodie...
...trying to paint the life force of a thing," says Australian-born Brett Whiteley. "There has always been a sense of violence in my work." There has also been a strong strain of sensuality. Three years ago, at the age of 25, Whiteley established himself in the vanguard of young London painters (TIME, Oct. 9, 1964) with one Baconesque series of 25 paintings, all showing his pretty young wife nude in the bath, plus another series depicting the passionate antics of Sex Murderer John Christie. His latest show at Marlborough New London Gallery is difficult to characterize. Is it expressionist...
