...Whippet thin from his daily 2 1/2 mile walks, Ronnie Ho, 57, doesn't look as if he's suffering from high blood pressure. Nor is he.

It shows the inside of the artist's London workplace, a medium-size and undistinguished room with blotched walls. There is an iron bed on whose thin, lumpy mattress a whippet sleeps. Next to the bed is a scrawny- looking girl with an angular face, sewing an ornate piece of Indian cotton whose green and red whorls cascade over her lap like the tendrils of an exotic plant, out of place in the drab surroundings. But it is not these things...
