Only Magritte and Leger - and in his different way, Nadelman. He could take a bowler hat and, perching it on the head of Mercury, give it a classical density as form.

Magic and fantasy, asserts Holder, are what this world is starving for, and he is clearly a man who knows his Munchkins. No witch doctor could have conjured up a more fantastical stewpot of sights for bored eyes. The tornado that sweeps Dorothy to Oz is a dancer whose headgear spouts 100 yards of black silk swirling to the rafters.

Frankfurt airport, with team supporters looking for planes to Dortmund, Munich, Stuttgart, Dusseldorf and Hannover, was a Brechtian fantasy of chauvinistic headgear and rosettes. Among the major nations unrepresented in the jostle there seemed to be only the Americans, who have never taken to the game, and the English, who invented it, but whose team lost out in elimination matches...
