...Henry Moore sculpture at the distinguished Felix Landau Gallery to paintings by Pop Artist Billy Al Bengston at the Ferus Gallery. Billy Al does canvases with titles like Rock, Troy, Tyrone, Sterling. One called Fabian consists of large master-sergeant stripes against a background of orange and blue-grey doughnut shapes. It is social comment, Billy Al explains: everyone wants to be topkick. At the Heritage Gallery, a lumpy figurative painting by Rod Briggs lets out wails every time a viewer's shadow falls upon its built-in electric...
Ghostly Shapes. In his most recent work, Anuszkiewicz often uses three or four colors and a simpler geometric motif. Each painting has its internal rhythm, which is measured like bars of music. One yellow and grey painting has a pattern of grids, some of which are quartered, some cut to sixteenths, and so on. In other paintings, stripes or threads of different colors run over a common background to form diamonds and squares that emerge not as solid forms but as ghostly shapes coming out of nowhere. Some have the misty delicacy of a rainbow; others glow like fluorescent light...
...summer sky still breaks over the land in splinters of green, gold or luminous waves of grey, staining the hills blue and purple and vermilion, heaping the valleys with shimmering veils of mist.

I am told it commenced on the first of July, a mile north of the town, between two weak brigades of infantry and some doomed artillery and the whole force of the rebel army . . . We were not to attack but to be attacked . . . The ground upon...
...reality of war is felt only in the occasional crack of a sniper's rifle or the firefly descent of flares, but its effect on Ivan and his comrades shows in their gropings for reassurance from one another. Even Masha, a girl medical officer with eyes like a grey squirrel's, helps in her inarticulate way; in one somberly lovely scene, she shyly lets a captain (Valentin Zubkov) pursue her into a forest of birches as the camera, darting on owl's wings, follows them through the receding halftones of black, grey and silver...
