...conceived on French soil during this century. Everything from Bonnard's impressionism to mirror-mobiles by Argentinian Julio le Parc can be found in it. Regrettably, in cutting back the show to fit limited gallery space here in Boston, the very most recent works--pop, op, neo-surrealist, have born the brunt of sacrifice.

He obviously has inherited his father's ear for dialect. On his own, he has the spontaneous gait and happy tone of a natural-born-if derivative-storyteller...
