...57th. More than 300 of his works are at the Gallery of Modern Art (see below), but a rarer glimpse of the artist is given here. Friends have lent some 100 water-colors and drawings, many never exhibited, some personally inscribed. Included: Night and Day, a 1926 gouache-and-sand once owned by Gertrude Stein, who discovered him; portraits of Esme, the little girl in Hide-and-Seek; the cranial lattice work of his later years.

...desert," man could come to grips with his true nature, writes Lacarrière. Life's superfluities dropped away; the moral choices were starkly clear.

Tom actually weighs in at 130 Ibs., but his skin is the color of bleached Irish lin en, and a small-size track shirt hangs so loose on his scrawny chest that the letters on the front spell OYOL. Being skinny, though, has certain compensations-and Miler O'Hara manages to make the most of them...
