Considerably younger than this group of seven is Henry de Leon (b. 1945), who has the only sculpture and photography in the exhibit. There is an untitled limestone piece done when he was a junior at Brandeis, and a recent wood sculpture called "Negrita." Both of these are semi-abstract, and beautifully rhythmed with smooth following curves. His twenty photographs range from middling to excellent.

The island was discovered on Easter Sunday, 1722, by a Dutch admiral named Roggeveen, who was intrigued by the stone giants and observed that although some of the natives were obviously Polynesian, others had white skins and red hair. He also let his men shoot down a few indigenes after a minor misunderstanding. Subsequent Western visitors apparently felt free to kill any native on whim. In 1811, an American whaler added a touch of Yankee ingenuity. Some island girls were lured...
