Amoral Pleasure. When Englishmen of Smith's generation (he is now 44) started looking to America, what caught their eye was less the painterly heroics of abstract expressionism than the "media landscape"-to borrow a phrase of the day-from which Pop art was sprouting. Though as a painter he was not interested in the icons of popular culture, Smith was fascinated by its mechanics, particularly by what happened to color and form in reproduction.

What is this pernicious influence, bordering on a cult, that is now sweeping the U.S.? The word is Monty Python. Five roopy young Englishmen, who methodically take the world apart each week in a series of sketches mysteriously called Monty Python 's Flying Circus, have conquered the U.S. air waves. The Pythons are getting the kind of following that a presidential candidate might envy. They are the hottest TV import; 78 public-television...
