Last June, Aramco asked Fluor to design and build a $4 billion plant to collect, process and pump 5 billion cu. ft. of natural gas per day. When completed in 1979, the facility will fuel Saudi Arabia's $142 billion industrialization program. The job will return to the U.S. a lot of money that American industries spend to buy foreign oil. "The Saudis instructed us both to buy as much equipment as possible in the U.S. and maximize engineering in America," says Bob Fluor. "That may be $3 billion in equipment orders.

The magic and the music of the earlier paintings disappears; the movement here is not that of the cosmos, but that of a machine. These canvases are products of design, not creation...
