...were covered with moody, swirling blobs of color, as otherworldly as their titles (Strata No. 1, Tones of Silence, Pad '55). Only here and there does an oldtimer hold out. Ben Shahn in Second Super Market makes a tasteful composition out of wire grocery carts; the '303 echo in Philip Evergood's Quick Lunch, a ham-handed working man swigging a soft drink; Morris Graves's Bird is deftly caught on thin rice paper with a Chinese economy of line.
