...love." But figures rarely appear in his work at the Landry: his paintings have become "essential surfaces" in which he tries "to penetrate the primeval aspect of matter." Shells, corals, bones, bulbs-all fascinate him. So do his microscopic studies of bits of skin, strands of hair, pieces of crystal. Transposed to canvas, these forms turn into other forms, so that the interior of an ear can just as well be the inside of a flower...
...blood bank. The Germans volunteered with the rest. Since then, collective members have invited Germans into their homes, take them along to domino contests and movie nights in Tel Aviv.

When the Colorado legislators declined the offer, McNichols went right ahead and accepted it-and he is now living in the Boettcher museum. In short, McNichols enjoys his let-the-chips...
...come from Bell Laboratories. The principle of atoms being raised to excited states by absorption of radiation, and subsequently being stimulated by radiation to give out their stored energy, has been known in science for a very long time. The maser consists of a synthetic ruby crystal containing chromium ions which can absorb and store light in excited states of the chromium atoms. After a time the stored energy is emitted in a powerful short flash, which in some cases has reached the, equivalent of 1,000 kilowatts in intensity. Already this has been used to illuminate an area...
persions on the legitimate science of astrology. There is a world of difference between scientific astrology and what the quacks practice. I despise crystal-gazers, gypsies and tea-readers, who fleece the public. Something should be done about them...
