Although little known outside church circles, Barnes belongs - along with such figures as Willem Visser 't Hooft, Henry P. Van Dusen, and the late Anglican Bishop of Chichester, Dr. G.K. A. Bell - to the great generation of ecumenical architects who brought the World Council to life. A former English teacher, Presbyterian Minister Barnes, 62, was associate general secretary of the old Federal Council of Churches (a predecessor of today's National) from 1940 to 1950.

Because he begins with plan and ends with chaotic inspiration, De Kooning's first drawing retrospective provides illuminating clues to the natural forms that shape his abstractions, to the explicitness with which he builds ambiguity, to how his art is made. Forty-odd drawings in charcoal, pencil, pastel, sumi-ink and Sapolin include classical studies of the '30s, samplings from the "Boudoir" and "Attic" series, sketches for Pink Angel (the painting that reportedly copped...
