...flame. To many, his work suggests a latter-day Georgia O'Keeffe. Like her, he is attracted to "organic form, relating to living things in general." He will occasionally sketch leaves, is fascinated by color photographs of fish and Oriental paintings of insects. But picking up a wineglass in his studio, he says, "This doesn't interest me as a form. It's marked by history, geography, society. I'm interested in the universal, not objects...

The castle takes on the air of a Dadaesque painting: a man walks the ceiling and the walls, like a fly; the old lady peels off her face like a mask, then drops her eyes in a wineglass.

The surgeon removes a small portion of the bone behind the ear, acoustically irradiates the exposed canal with the gun's waves. Much as a soprano's high note can shatter a wineglass, the beams shot from the gun are supposed to shake the diseased cell structure and destroy it. In preliminary tests on a group of 22 sufferers treated with the ultrasonic waves, 15 were relieved of further at tacks of the disease, and four showed marked improvement. In some cases, patients...
