...fudge details, blurring locations and identities so they couldn't be recognized," Hunt told TIME Correspondent David Beckwith. But occasionally his superiors would censor a scene or a theme, he recalled, "and I'd learn that some episode I thought I'd made up from whole cloth had described an actual operation-one that I'd never heard about...
...enormous canvases; Olitski works equally well in room-sized paintings and in small ones. His spray technique has a finer grain, so to speak, than staining or brushing, and it creates surfaces which because they cover the canvas completely are not immediately scaled by the weave of the cloth. And in his paintings of this year and last, particularly the Other Flesh series, he employs rollers and sponges with a syrupy acrylic, using the edges built up by rolled paint to create a repeated width across the canvas.

"Our only object is wholeness," Matisse declared. "We must learn, perhaps relearn, to express ourselves by means of line. Plastic art will inspire the most direct emotion possible by the simplest of means." And once art gained that absolute concreteness of sensation, it could become the "subject...
