Like Male Rockettes. The few girls in the troupe are fetchingly swaddled in neck-length nylons. The men seem to be clad in flesh-colored BVDs on which someone has apparently traced the entire human nervous system. The net effect is rather unhinging, like watching a platoon of nude male Rockettes undergoing surgery...
Hitler's art collection is often plainly preposterous. Sharing the racks with Rubens are sexy sphinxes and snake-draped nude dancers of Max Klinger and Franz von Stuck, whose fancy for the Wagnerian concept of total art led them to stud their frames with marble, onyx and semiprecious lapidary and to incise their names in five-inch letters. Among nearly 2,000 lesser art works are monumental glorifications of the autobahns, tiers of titillating, bulky Brünnhildes in the buff, and pleasant vistas of Berchtesgaden. One canvas, called Judgment of Paris, shows three hefty maidens placidly awaiting...

William King, 39, for instance, makes 7-ft. figures out of burlap and metal that are raucous commentaries on the self-pride of mankind. Richard A. Miller, 42, casts a conventional bronze nude. But he does it three times in the exquisite feminine gait clearly following Eadweard Muybridge's sequence photo experiments of the 1880s of a walking nude. Frank Gallo, 31, scoops up plastic like ice cream and molds a life-sized nude slouched in a cantilevered sling chair...
