Yet the colors never disappear; when there are no more flowers or there is no more blood, Fuller closes in on Lee Marvin's face, a rough-hewn palette of balanched hair, amber skin and watery eyes...

Others take one look at the sculptures--mass-produced chunks of wood, bricks and steel plates arrayed in monumental checkerboards and rough-hewn pyramids--and decide this is not "art" at all, but something the fabled 5-year-old could...
