...Peter Schjeldahl points out in the catalog, Dubuffet "had the transgressor's secret love of limits, the outlaw's perverse attachment to laws," and this repeatedly shows itself in a sense of surface, texture and inflection that becomes extravagantly, almost morbidly, refined. His figures made of butterfly wings are exquisite; looking at some of his surfaces, particularly in the later collages and "Texturologies" of the 1950s, one finds oneself comparing them to the tarnished and mottled silver leaf on a Japanese screen or to richly tanned and patinated leather. Doubtless some of them present insoluble problems for the conservator...
...Title." That is not all it seems to be in search of-it is in desperate need of a subject and a conclusion a good deal sooner than the seven pages it took to reach it.

Gradually Echo lost its regular shape; flat places and wrinkles appeared on its shiny surface. "She's prune-faced already," says Richard Slater of G. T. Schjeldahl, Northfield, Minn., the company that made the balloon. When Echo turns deliberately about once in eight to ten minutes, flat places sometimes act as mirrors, making the sun's reflection momentarily brighter. Wrinkled places dim the reflection. The radio waves that are bounced off Echo show the same variations...
Guns Galore. A shower of new products and processes is augmenting man's age-old efforts to get in out of the rain. Minnesota's Schjeldahl Co.'s polyester plastic balloon structures can be built in half a day, need only an ordinary building fan to keep them inflated, will last five to ten years. Quonset-shaped, the Schjel-dome will work in the arctic or the tropics, can be used for garages and greenhouses, swimming pool covers and grain warehouses, is repaired with a hot iron...
