...Polaroid color photograph might have been the cover of a paperback thriller-or a recruiting poster for the revolutionary left. But the comely, wholesome-looking girl holding a submachine gun was Patricia Hearst, and an accompanying tape recording of her voice carried a bizarre message: Patty, 20, had decided to forsake her millionaire parents and join the fanatics who kidnaped her two months...
...photographs show no mountains similar to the moon's, but there are indications of several great escarpments or cliffs, some of them hundreds of miles long. More puzzling still, there are distinctly nonlunar bumps, hillocks and rills. Some of the rills are remarkably straight, while others twist and turn, almost as if they had been carved out by flowing water.

The signs at the show credit this difference to environment: icebergs giving inspiration to the open, bold images of the Eskimo, northern rain forests spawning the more colorful, stylized forms of the Indian tribes. This is true, as far as it goes, but there is another, a more foreign element that seperates further the styles of these two groups...
