...nuances. His large water-color entitled "Three Fish" has a good balance of geometric shapes and is neatly drawn. A smaller "Fish," however, is much more lively because lines forming the skeleton play against lines representing turbulence in the water. The result is a fish which looks alive. Chermayeff's other fish in a large, blue water-color are quite dead and only make a pattern which would look pleasant on a bed-spread. "Breakfast at Sardi's" evokes humor and excitement.

This collection, containing more than 400 separate pieces, is a sparkling example of the varied and divergent possibilities of the water-color medium. There are so many high-points of artistic value, so many outstanding examples of potential greatness, that it is neither just nor adequate to compress the exhibit within the rather arbitrary bounds of a brief review.
