...search for what cannot be disintegrated is intense, forcing the viewer to re-examine that perilous equilibrium we like to call normality. "We have to submit to the attack in the way we have to learn to enjoy a cold shower-bath," wrote Bridget Riley's admirer and mentor, the perceptual psychologist Anton Ehrenzweig. "There comes a voluptuous moment when the senses and the whole skin tingle with a sharpened awareness of the body and the world around...
There is no "school" of Johnson, as there was of his own great mentor, Mies van der Rohe, with whom he worked on the design of New York's Seagram Building. Indeed, it is hard to imagine a young architect setting out to imitate Johnson. He is an architect of sensibility, not polemics, and his work has no discernible core of aesthetic theory.

It had occurred to Janet, and one or two others before him, that if handwriting could reveal the secrets of the inner self, it might be possible to change the self by changing the handwriting. De Sainte Colombe, who moved to Hollywood from Paris in 1940, makes claims for his treatment that sound something like a patent-medicine label. Graphotherapy, he has said, can be used to treat introversion, unsustained will power, lack of self-confidence, excessive drinking or smoking, sexual disturbances, timidity, laziness, depression...
