...artist's sudden maturation is balm to see: 20 years of work, elusive recognition-then a burst of paintings of exceptional originality and depth. It does not often happen that way, but in the past year it has to a soft-spoken California painter named Joseph Raffael, 40. His series of five Water Paintings-large studies of light and reflection on fragments of river, without horizon or air or any of the normal appurtenances of landscape painting-goes on view this week at the Nancy Hoffman Gallery in lower Manhattan...
...first movement of the Symphony, an allegro, is skillful and delightful. Not surprisingly, it was written in a burst of inspiration; the other movements were constructed afterwards. The serene opening fills out into a vigorous and full-voiced movement.

Now numbering a claimed 20 million adherents worldwide, the "classicals" at the Korean conference were joined by enthusiasts from more recent Pentecostal flowerings. Many neo-Pentecostals from Presbyterian, Anglican and other mainstream churches also attended...
...brilliant months in 1967 and 1968, he injected explosive energy into electric blues and outrageous rock. Playing on his back, playing with his teeth or simply playing it straight, Hendrix and The Experience and their banks of tortured amplifiers seemed to own the future as they burst first upon England, and then, America...
