Will Barnet: 27 Master Prints (Abrams; 63 pages; $12.50) offers a sampling of work done over the past decade and provides fresh evidence of the artist's versatility. His lithographs employ a broad palette of muted, pastel colors, while the serigraphs are built up from large blocks of flat, brilliant hues.

...year-old retreat for the reclusive, recherche and rich, from Gable to Streisand, the Hana caravansary sprinkles its pastel-colored bungalows (only 57 rooms) over 20 acres of manicured grass, perched between a 14,000-acre cattle ranch and the sandy half-moon of Hamoa Beach. Manager Tony de Jetley, an urbane Englishman who is married to a beautiful Hawaiian curiously named Alberta, enumerates 69 regular activities for hotel guests and their children; they range from frond weaving and night tide-pool fishing to breakfast cookouts and quarter-horse riding through terrain often photographed for Marlboro ads. Some families return...
