While Johnson’s collages are far more dense and not nearly as easily decipherable as Bergstein’s lucid imagery, his prints are oddly engrossing for their experimentation with mixed elements. Pencil crayons applied to the Mylar surface produce a visible texture identical to pastels and the medium only lends itself to a finite number of revisions. Ink lines must be removed with rubbing alcohol, which degrades the surface, so Johnson’s pieces must be planned out ahead of time.

Whatever else he is--lucid hipster, tenured iconoclast and barbarian at the gates of art-world convention--Hickey, 62, is the only American art critic of consequence who used to play guitar for a country-and-western band. He is also proof that MacArthur Foundation "genius grants," like the one he was awarded this year, go to some shaggy characters, the kind who like low-rider cars...
Through his re-creation of ground-breaking experiments by famous scientists, Sacks experienced first-hand the joy of scientific discovery. Through the author’s lucid prose, the reader also experiences the individual sparkles of a young excited mind...
