...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.
