...tabernacle are balanced and continued by the symbols of the tribes of Israel that grow weedlike out of Aaron's back. Aaron the man is always there, his head the highest part of the sculpture, but design is never sacrificed to theme. The eye of the beholder becomes restless, and that is as it should be: it darts in among the folds of the robes, leaps from point to point, sweeps upward and then down again-as if the bronze itself were on the move, bursting with secrets to tell...

He plods along, swinging his radio like an attaché case, or stuffs it into his shirt pocket, while the unrelenting blabber transists him like exhaust fumes. If he is using an earpiece receiver, identification may be more difficult, but there are certain telltale signs, as there are of hopheads...
...Nolde works in Brussels this spring drew 4,600 viewers, despite one critical comment that his colors are too "grating and jazzy for Flemish eyes." Last week a seven-week exhibition of Nolde's work opened in Hannover to critical acclaim. Long neglected, Nolde's restless watercolors and agitated oils are now bringing record prices, reflecting his new popular ascendancy as one of the best of the German expressionists...
