Vienna-born, Koerner came to the U.S. in 1939, lives in a Victorian gingerbread-style house in Pittsburgh's Squirrel Hill section. His new pictures deal, often harshly and always provocatively, with the basic human condition, especially in America. As pictures, they have beauty, but their content is seldom beautiful.

...Oxford, Miss. Eagle published a public notice in turgid prose. Text: "The posted woods on my property inside the city limits of Oxford contain several tame squirrels. Any hunter who feels himself too lacking in woodcraft and marksmanship to approach a dangerous wild squirrel, might feel safe with these.

All three were hits. Henze's work, in particular, won a shrill, twelve-minute ovation. But defenders of the moppets' taste were badly shaken when Carlo Franci's Final Comedy and Giorgio Ghedini's Girotondo-both tricked up with flung pies, flying paintpots and banana-peel pratfalls-seemed to touch...
