BERNARD LORJOU-Hutton, 787 Madison Ave. at 67th. A lively show by a Parisian who has, in a one-man war against abstractionism, engaged in fistfights and lawsuits with his critics and sent his large, figurative paintings floating down the Seine on a barge. In these 28 oils, his colors are as breathtaking as ever, but the bizarre brutality has been transformed into a fierce emotionalism.

Only five years after its opening, though, the building burned to the ground. Duke Max watched the blaze and wailed through his tears: "I won't survive this loss-my theater, my beautiful theater...
