...Ocean Parks; one no longer sees a distant "view" of a whole terrain, but moves closer, toward this lobed and writhing emblem which suggests either body or still life: the curves of a thigh, a buttock or a breast, the petals of a flower rising on its stalk, or-in some of the drawings-the black propped lid of a grand piano. The body image is confirmed particularly in a work like Untitled #45, which is haunted by the swollen, vegetative forms of 1930s Picasso, rather than 1914 Matisse. Of course, the drawings also seem more intimate than the previous...

"As it is," he says, "thousands of taxpayers' dollars are being poured down the drain." But out on the Colorado range, matching wits and stamina with the proud mustangs, the bottom line seems a faraway concern. "The excitement of bringing those horses in," says Crawford...
Fraser and Sacks stalk around the kitchen table, glaring at each other throughout much of the first act. They balance each other's performances: unfortunately, both take most of this act to warm up. When they finally click in their roles the show quickly gains impact. Fraser moves with the uncertainty of an old man, his hands shaking as he presses back his hair with habitual nervousness, his feet shuffling as he constantly paces back and forth, trying to understand his life and, especially, his oldest...
