...time), Geoffrey Beene and Yves St. Laurent. Adds Miss Klein: "If St. Laurent showed barrels with two holes cut out, I guarantee that Women's Wear would brand it the coming look.

A subsequent series of sharply lit deep-focus features sustained interest through one's shifting attention within the static frame. One continually rediscovered the composition's different elements as the people in the shot moved and talked. Finally, Warhol began to zoom and pan, giving people an appearance...
