...labored in a solitude, a vacuum of response, which might have crushed another artist. But it may be that Dadd's enforced seclusion helped sharpen the obsessive quality of his inner vision. Behind bars, time and detail never end. The evidence is up in London's Tate Gallery this summer through August: poor Dadd's first one-man show, more than 200 oils, watercolors and drawings, including a series of mysterious "sketches for the passions" that record Dadd's tormented self-examinations and still belong to Bethlem Hospital. Almost all his known work...
...work of an artist. Certain conclusions may then be drawn as to his qualities." And how may one assess fame? On points. An artist gets 300 points, for instance, if he sells a work to the Museum of Modern Art or the Met, and so down through the Tate Gallery (200), and the Galleria d'Arte Moderna in Turin (160).

...EXORCIST is a hit in the way that the Sharon Tate killings were. It is perversion as mystery. The characters are treated at such a hostile distance that you are inured to their pain, absolved of all connection with what happens to them. The people leaving the theater hid between their shoulders like the prisoners you see in documentaries of concentration camps. Nobody had gone to have a happy time at the movie. The movie is entertainment for lifers, a trip for the down and out. Kicks were all the audience wanted and cruel kicks they got. They got their...
THURSDAY: Valley of the Dolls. 1967. A movie that makes the average soap opera look like "Last Year at Marienbad." Barbara Parkins, Patty Duke, and Sharon (Manson victim) Tate flounder through the slings and arrows of this outrageous melodrama like wounded animals. Worst movie of the sixties award. CH. 7. 9 p.m. Color...
