Tribe will also exhibit 22 of his paintings at the Law School next month. The paintings are "surrealist and hyper-realist," with "a somewhat photographic look," he said...

On the other hand, quite trivial artists are included; probably one cannot have a historical show of women's art without the boring and insipid fribbles of Marie Laurencin, but why include a third-rate vendeuse of exotic surrealist tack like Leonor Fini?

Gray always seems to have a well-conceived them in mind, as is evident in "Passing Through" and in "Re-entry," the tale of a stranger in a fantasy world...
