...Brooklyn's Pratt Institute, won a Guggenheim for travel abroad, enjoyed a healthy success this season at Manhattan's Cordier & Ekstrom Gallery. She considers her heads, among other things, a kind of social commentary. "Look at the censored faces in the street," she says. "You can almost see people saying, I'm not going to be caught feeling.' My figures feel right because they're all tied down. They may look frightening at first-after I had done a few, I ran out of my studio. Then I began to see how defenseless they were...

Unfortunately, like those other pioneers, Kinsey and Masters, Meyer may live to see himself trampled in the sexual revolution. "I am worried about Am Curious (Yellow)," admits Meyer (46-38-42).
