...visitor approaches Darling's house today, he is confronted by a bewildering jumble of wild colors. He walks along a cement path adorned with Oriental mountains, and climbs a porch whose walls are filled with the birds, bears and skunks of Yellowstone National Park. He passes through a Mount Fuji screen door and walks upon upside-down rugs that glow with still lifes. He sits in a leatherette armchair covered with a rushing river in an idyllic field of gold, and rests his feet upon a footstool that depicts a deep green forest. On the ceiling, he sees snake...
...landed a job in a Detroit stock company, where, along with some good roles, he appeared in such asthmatic fare as Come Out of the Kitchen and Broken Dishes. His income was as puny as the repertoire, and after four years of fill-in jobs that included carpentry and cement pouring, Scott returned in desperation to Stephens hoping to teach again.

Perhaps the most interesting new project is one involving the use of Mylar plastic film coated so that one side reflects light while the other is transparent. Outsiders thus see only an opaque dome, but those inside have an unobstructed view...
...whole range of media, from paint and sculpture to architecture, sound and print, hovers behind all recent experiments in mixed media. Like Max Ernst, Schwitters is the "classical" Dadaist who destroyed nothing and became instead a kind of stylistic oracle. There have been a number of Schwitters retrospectives to cement the fame Schwitters himself never lived to enjoy. The latest, perhaps the definitive one, is now on view at the Kunsthalle in Düsseldorf, Germany, containing nearly 300 works...
