About a month ago, a friend of mine gave me a book on Jean Dubuffet. I haven't looked at it much, except to notice that he left the price tag on it, and that the stuff shown inside looks very bizarre. At any rate, the Rolly Michaux gallery is showing gouaches, lithographs and aquatints by Dubuflet Calder and Miro (who I'd at least heard of before) through March 21. Calder is mostly known for his mobiles, copies of which have a tendancy to end up in banks. The gallery is at 125 Newbury St. in Boston...

...idea of a sexual education is to expose Emmanuelle to a series of humiliations to which she docilely submits, while he watches impassively. In between episodes he pontificates to her on the metaphysical nature of love and sensuality. It's soft-core scriptwriting like this that makes the hard stuff look at least honest. After he has taken Emmanuelle to an opium den and watched her being raped by a native Thai, he intones. "Real love is the erection, not the orgasm"--something Emmanuelle must be painfully aware...
