Graphics I and Graphics 2, a gallery at 168 Newbury St. In Boston is showing the graphic work of Jean Folon, starting Monday. Folon draws little men with round hats for New Yorker covers, and line caricatures for the Editorial page of the New York Times. In 1965 he won first prize at the Third Italian Triennale for "Humor in Art".

It describes a place much like that waiting-room: antiseptic, empty, bereft of any outward emotion, full of silent anticipation. A sense of detachment in the short, simple lines emphasizes an underlying presence of death and sorrow. And Strand's dreamlike collection of everyday objects paradoxically works to produce a coherent poem. Orr's poetry used the same simplicity, the same etherial contrast of commonplace...
