Willows in the Amphitheatre. It was the note of exuberance and freshness in Stone's latest work that convinced the American Institute of Architects committee, charged with finding an architect for the U.S. State Department, that Stone was the man to design the Brussels pavilion. When he first visited the site two years ago, it was little more than a grassy, willow-studded park, staked out in a triangular plot, between the areas reserved for Vatican City and the U.S.S.R. Characteristically, he began sketching his design on the spot, seized on the site's natural amphitheater contours...

I mean I'm not frightened of you. Why the hell should I be? I mean I'm leaving...
...designs are utterly abstract: looping, recurving spirals and disturbed, bulbous forms. They have haunting titles: e.g., Visitation, Listen. They mostly seem to express death-haunted themes that, Lee Krasner says, make it "hard enough for me just to accept my own paintings." But they also strike a lonely note of hope: one of them is entitled Birth...
