...last patriarchs of abstract expressionism, moved out of Manhattan to live and work near East Hampton, among the flat green potato fields and salty inlets of Long Island. This span of time was for him, in the jargon of art history, a "period." His manner of painting changed, becoming looser, splashier, more atmospheric than it had ever been before. The drawing loosened too, and the place supplied him with a different subject matter-a landscape of dunes and water reflections, green groves and pink bodies half eroded by light, full of softness and coarse sexual ebullience...

The second half of the show is much looser and livelier and the peak of the evening is "Tap Your Troubles Away," which really might convince you to exuberantly thrash your woes with a pair of tap shoes...
...conference committees that are trying to resolve differences between the House and Senate on an energy program. The sessions are expected to go on for about a month. Last week the conferees accepted stricter House standards that require large new industrial plants to use coal instead of oil, but looser Senate standards on forcing existing plants to switch from gas to coal...
