In Ramesses' day the room would have seemed positively cavernous; now it's filled nearly to the top with rubble washed in over the centuries by infrequent flash floods. Anyone who wants to traverse the chamber has to crawl through a tight passage, lighted by a string of dim electric light bulbs, where the dirt has been painstakingly cleared away.

The colors are muted: grays, sandy browns, black, occasionally lit by a flash of red, as in Glasshouse Mountains, 1958; forms are pressed into a flat dense surface (stamped there, you feel, as by a Chinese seal), but the space also folds in and out, shallow and buckling, like a screen. Sometimes the brushstrokes are languid and creamy, but they are interspersed with...
