There is, however, some sugar on the pill. The action is feverish and the interns sometimes leave the customers in stitches. But for the most part, the picture is an exploratory operation conducted, alas, without anesthesia...
...churches, hospitals and universities across Spain, even an 8,611-sq.-ft. bulwark in an electrical plant in Grandas de Salime. His murals are close to "official" art, full of public consciousness, but when he won first prize at the 1963 Paris biennial, it was awarded for his feverish blend of abstraction and figuration.

But he himself uses a latex and plastic mixture on pressed wood, or even plaster, as in the sails of his Homage to Rodrigo de Triana, the sailor on Columbus...

He does not give us the 18th-century melancholy aristocrat, or the 19th-century fragile neurasthenic. Nor does he recall Barrymore's Laborious Hamlet, or Olivier's Athletic Hamlet, or Weaver's Feverish Hamlet...

As on the chessboard, where the rational, 64-square battleground can scarcely contain the emotional knight, Ortman does not let the truth of his analysis overwhelm beauty...
