SQUARE IN THE EYE. Playwright Jack Gelber fires a satirical stream of tracer bullets into the marital war of the egos, careerism, the cults of surgery and psychoanalysis, and the cosmeticians of death industry.

For big oils such as Tracer, he uses the silk-screen stenciling process to print photographs that strike him. "I feel it's so wasteful not to use the images you find around you," he says. In 1960 he finished 34 delicate frottage drawings to illustrate Dante's Inferno, and by using multiple images achieved...
