Glassman quickly scanned the notes, letters and committee reports, but they were mostly in code. Then a guerrilla leader's letter mentioned an effort by "the Esmeralda management" to help patch up a factional split among the guerrillas. A second letter openly thanked a Cuban official for his assistance in ending the dispute...

Such "radical" developments were underwritten by an appeal to older systems of art, not only to the Japanese print-makers, whose cutting into the wooden block provided the essence of division between line and patch, but also to French masters like Ingres, with his steadfast differentiation between color and drawing...
