...dukes appointed trial-by-combat, Richard appears high on Ed Wittstein's imposing baldaquinesque two-story structure, trimmed with heavily bordered stained-glass panels reminiscent of Raoul Dufy. The King is now clad in gold with white boots, and there are seven colorful flagbearers in position. It is a fine touch in this highly ritualistic play that the King and the Lord Marshal (penetratingly projected by Robert Lumish) actually sing some of their lines here as though running through a formulaic and time-honored chant. An onstage sidedrummer accompanies the King's staircase descent and ascent...
...womanizer who smirks curiously at Moreau until she pushes him off a balcony and his face turns from pure narcissism to pure terror. Another director might have made the balcony scene an urban one; Truffaut stages it along the Côte d'Azur, where Photographer Raoul Coutard makes the outside beckon like a Cezanne landscape. Even a minute role played by a little boy is observed with special insight.

Perhaps the farthest reach came from Italian Author Raoul Romoli-Venturi (Encounter with Democracy). "Unfortunately," he said, "all the tensions of the world have been imported by the United States...

Two abstract works by the Russian Serge Poliakoff, big blocks of carefully modelled color, can be seen on entering the exhibit, near a very subtle work in cement--"In the Shadow of a Field"--by ex-conservationist Raoul Ubac, while the plastic, organic cubism of an early Picabia is across the hall...
