...many cases this process has not only made possible the remounting of frescoes but has also laid bare the long-hidden preliminary sketches, or sinopias, drawn on the underneath layers of plaster. The current exhibit includes 24, which have been mounted separately and are shown next to their frescoes...
...Exit. The many facets of Lucas Samaras will be mirrored in an exhibit of 125 drawings and constructions that goes on view next month at Manhattan's Pace Gallery. Included will be drawings that date back to the early 1960s, when he and other young artists were rebelling against the prevailing mode of abstract expression.

Aznavour's tragicomic twinkle shines through in such films as Shoot the Piano Player...
...Exhibit B: The Killing Game. A husband-and-wife team (Jean-Pierre Cassel and Claudine Auger) manufacture Superman-style comic strips for a living, but run out of super ideas. Just a pair of fun-loving kids, they hang around the studio playing with their mental blocks until a wealthy Swiss named Bob (Michel Duchaussoy) invites them to his chalet for a stay. What starts out as kicky soon becomes sicky. Bob is a paranoid who imagines that an organization is out to expunge him. Unfortunately, it is all in his imagination, and to comfort himself he zooms about...
