...artists in general. His bronze Death's Head, 1943, is the perfect image for the show's beginning: a cannonball of impacted death, heavier than any imaginable head.

In a large painting like Island Farmhouse, 1969, the white weatherboard asserts itself in a blast of light like a Doric temple; the lines of shadow are a burning visionary yellow; everything, from the angular...
