With these few exceptions, the formal element in Gerassi's painting has been reduced to a minimum. What the pictures lack in content of line and structure, they make up in color and texture. The result is "a warm and sunny kind of innocence." Gerassi's preference for emotion over thought is expressed even by the fact that curves take precedence over straight lines or angles. When angularity occurs it is usually accompanied by a more structural effort, where space and form are more defined, as in "Ulysses." But on the whole, the curve, that is the lyric sense, prevails...

If John or Louise Mackay had a thought beyond material success, the book does not suggest it. They knew what they wanted and were content when they got it, even though Louise may have partially agreed with Mrs. Paran Stevens, who said to her: "Odd, isn't it, how hard we work to get into a world which isn't after all very amusing...
