...Fogg show includes his earliest comic-book panels from 1963, which first won him his notoriety. Lichtenstein went off on an entirely different tangent in his attempts to convey the wavy fluidity, "the absolute indeterminate essence" of the sun, sky and ocean. He uses a combination of schematic and symbolic lines, actual color photographs, and a shimmering plastic called Rowlux, that in any other context--the plastic body of a comb or a brush, a drug-store display, a hair-salon wall--would be called vulgar. But here it is uncanny in its hypnotic approximation of nature...
...will provoke great curiosity. On the whole, the curiosity will be rewarded: there are splendid objects in the group (see color opposite and next page). The earliest is a 14th century hand scroll of portraits of Emperors, seated in their ceremonial robes like weighty butterflies. There is an exquisite passage from the Tale of Genji copied out on silver-dusted paper by the great 17th century calligrapher Konoe Nobutada.

Seated at his desk in the Oval Office, backed by four campaign aides, he read a brief, low-key statement in a firm, confident voice...
...Keatons. It must be said that at bottom-which is exactly 5 ft. 6 in. from the top-Allen has not altered in technique since his earliest films. The only plot that ever concerns him is the one in which he will be buried. His persona is still the kind of man whose profile should not be painted but wallpapered. His situations continue to bear traces of two Keatons. In this case, Buster is the right source; Diane is not. Allen's longtime companion is saddled with Lines that make her Groucho in bombazine ("Thank you, your grubbiness"). Because...
