Delectable Glow. He came to abstract painting through still life, canceling out recognizable objects until the tabletop became a flat plane inlaid with small, quirky geometrical forms. But Cavallon's formative encounter was with Mondrian's work, and it is to Mondrian that the grid paintings he made from the late '30s onward incessantly allude. Cavallon's geometrical works, like one dated 1946, are not Utopias: there is little of Mondrian's austere, architectonic rectitude in them. They are sociable, warm, busy and a bit sloppy. They stand to the more purist kinds of geometrical...
...most profound change has been in Walton himself. The counterculture ponytail is gone, sacrificed to the heat of arena lights and the sizzling sweat of the fast-break pace. Press conferences denouncing the FBI have given way to post-game interviews in the warm glow of a victorious team's dressing room. The strict vegetarian diet has been modified to include a Pacific salmon now and then. Walton has hardly become a conservative paragon of the Establishment; he still chomps bean sprouts and supports radical causes. But this year, for the first time in his N.B.A. career...
Louise had long, straight, auburn colored hair, dark brown inset eyes, and a perfectly clear complexion which was lightly tanned from the summer.

What one remembers from Warren's novel is first of all a series of word-pictures--of Jed's mistress tapping her sandal hypnotically in the glow of the firelight, of his wife, dying of cancer, lifting up her bony hand to him in pain and entreaty, of Jed himself holding a gun to the head of a German officer sneering "Heil Hitler!" The lingering force of these images is linked to the mode of narration; Jed tells his story--an odyssey which...
...Bicycle Thief. Not much substantive sticks in my mind about this simple DeSica film about a man and his son and their search for a stolen bicycle--only the glow I was left with as I left the theater. Perhaps I'm getting my genres crossed, but this movie would seem to fall under the heading of "Italian realist film;" at any rate, the scenery is all real, the camerawork is underplayed and the construction is perfectly scaled. Charming may be the best adjective. But this is all far too vague for such a touchingly accessible film, so make...
