...York to spend the summer months in seclusion in the Southwest. Since then, she has been known as America's "leading woman artist"-a boldly condescending phrase-and largely dismissed as irrelevant by generations weaned on Pollock and Kline. To younger painters, her articulate images of mountain, bone and desert looked merely provincial. The milk train of history, having stopped at Tenth Street to pick up the Abstract Expressionists, could not be expected to halt at so remote a siding as Abiquiu, N. Mex.

Strenuous Responsibility. "Clean" is the adjective Georgia O'Keeffe's paintings constantly invite: clean as a bone, as a desert rock, as a haiku. She refutes the idea that discipline is masculine. O'Keeffe may, in a special sense, be the most aristocratic artist America has yet produced. This quality has nothing to do with a grand manner.

Once removed, the bones are deepfrozen or sealed in plastic for later...
...Malice. Unlike Hal Hoi brook in his Mark Twain Tonight, Whitmore does not attempt to achieve a flesh-tinted, bone-perfect reproduction of Rogers, nor does he even speak with Rogers' casual, careless Oklahoma drawl. What he tries for, and succeeds in evoking, is a psychic affinity with the wit of the Western corral, a man whose comic spirit always had a visible edge but no sting of malice, a man who could toss off a one-liner like, "I could have gone to West Point, but I was too proud to talk to a Congressman...
