What the show demonstrates, however, is that art theory plus craft does not equal art. Each of Kupka's major works is hung so that it is prefaced by a group of his preparatory line and color studies. Too often, in the progression from the fluent immediacy of the crayon sketch to the lyrical color study to the painting, the art loses itself in an exercise, becomes stilted, studies.

Verneuil suffers from the same perceptual malady as the killer Minos; the suspense of his thriller disintegrates because he is only capable of focusing on one isolated idea at a time...
