Five years ago Henry Koerner was a clever commercial artist, and nothing more. Today he is one of the most controversial figures in U.S. painting. Hfs fourth one-man show, which opened in a Manhattan gallery this week, was roundly praised and sharply damned, but it could not be ignored...

Arthur, visibly impressed, pays her the highest tribute he can make to womanhood: "She's wholesome." And he adds: "I knew she wouldn't fit into the kind of razzmatazz she was headed...
