...that show at least a hint of image-some sand dunes by Karl Knaths ("Naturally, we all knew about dunes anyway, but we didn't know about these dunes"), a Pietà by Abraham Rattner "that compares with the last sculptures on that theme by Michelangelo." a standing nude by Raphael Soyer ("We see freshly the tired flesh, the dull face, the patient, loving application of paint").
