These pictures are small, seldom larger than 10" square; Schuster will show Morse's larger paintings in May. They are part of the tradition of abstract expressionism and recall Conrad Marca-Relli and Franz Kline to an extent.

In his 30s and 40s Agostini began making commercial sculpture. He made plaster mannequins for a fashionable Manhattan women's store. This led him to sculpt pseudo-delicatessenry for the U.S. Army Quartermaster Corps. He molded polyester salamis, pepperonis and meat loaves...

The engineering part of the job had been done by Philadelphia's Smith Kline Instrument Co.; Surgeon Bronson had already tried their Ekoline-20 ultrasonic probe successfully in the eyes of cats and in surgically removed human eyes. Dr. Bronson rushed to Washington to join Dr. Passmore in the precedent-making operation...
