Visitors to their latest (28th) show, at American Fine Arts Society Galleries, were stunned by a blitz of colors, jostled by a rag-tag army of sculpture. Female nudes hung cheek by jowl with Biblical allegories, surrealistic enigmas, affectionate rural landscapes. There were sculptured paintings, painted sculpture.
