In a few hours, the picture is done: a wet, gaudy mass of color violently heaped and stirred. Sometimes it is a brutally simple likeness of man, woman, or beast; more often it resembles nothing at all. Typical Appels invariably shock the stuffy and are treated...
They have another prime reason: after ten years of secret planning, the U.S. is on the verge of developing a true "clean bomb," with enormous implications for both brush-fire war and big-war tactics. It is the neutron bomb, triggered by a fission process, topped off by a small hydrogen (fusion) explosion, designed to bombard enemy troops in a specific area with millions of fatal, invisible neutron "bullets." The neutron bomb does not damage property, scatters virtually no radioactive fallout, cannot be detected. Friendly troops could enter the area shortly after the bomb had been used. And although...

Park, 48, who sold 14 canvases at prices from $500 to $2,000 in a one-man show at Manhattan's Staempfli Gallery last month, still keeps the thick colors, fat brush strokes and overall concern with surface that marks the abstract expressionists, but he frankly welcomes figures back into art.
