...gravy that has little to do with the U. S. Painters like Grant Wood use a clear sauce distilled from 14th-Century Italian primitives. Painters like Thomas Benton use their own highly flavored, homemade ketchup. One painter who presents the U. S. scene without trimmings is Minnesota-born Arnold Blanch, 26 of whose bleak, overcast landscapes and figure-paintings drew Manhattan's gallerygoers last week to the Associated American Artists' Galleries...

Years ago he earned a little extra money by weaving rugs and tapestries, briefly running a cafeteria at Woodstock's art colony.
