...pleasure, the picture must be structured, and structured to be decorative. Mr. Feild's fond sensitivity experiments with the swift change in atmosphere characteristic of the Lake District and the effect this tension between light and shadow has on a landscape's face. Predicating this freedom "to play and monkey around" is an ideological commitment to discipline, to being accountable first for a viewer's satisfaction...
...alone saw the work, of Michelangelo, Rembrandt or Cezanne while they were alive. His audience is incalculable. By now, it must run into hundreds of millions-including, admittedly, the many people who have heard of him but have no idea of his pictures. The old man with the monkey face and the black, insatiable eyes squats at the center of this reputation, proclaimed and hidden by its coils: the archetypal Minotaur in his maze...

The only real sailor on board...

We are being kept from using our resources and controlling our own future." In turn, Morton recently complained about another delay: "The monkey is on the oil companies' back. I've been two-weeked and two-weeked to death waiting for their safeguard report." By last week, he finally got part of it-16 boxes of data, standing 5 ft. high. Once Morton receives the complete report, he is expected...
