April has been a big month in the life of Alice May Brock, 28. She met her husband in April (1961) and left him in April (1968).

Peter Selz, director of Berkeley's University Art Museum, observes: "Today's young artists reject pure color paintings as establishment art. They are more interested in changing our total environment." Nonetheless, aside from the majestic scale, the frequent emptiness and the su-persimple icons of the past three decades, there is a lesson to be learned from the Met's show.
