...swings between abstract and figurative in Diebenkorn's work seem not to matter. Beyond them, one sees the profound consistency with which he has pursued his essential lan guage as a painter - how the zigzagging pipes under the basin in Corner of Studio - Sink, 1963, relate to the angular chops of dark shadow in his earlier Berkeley landscapes, and are exquisitely refined in the later Ocean Parks; how the vitreous transparencies of his Californian rooms in the late '50s, gridded by mul lions and tabletops, become the sharp glazed intercuts of Ocean Park...
...Veterinarian Hill thought that the colt was perfectly balanced and merely in need of some growing. Says Hill: "He had a great back, long between the legs. The longer the back, the longer the stride. He had long, sloping shoulders and an angular hip. Any of these attributes makes you like a horse, and this one had all of them." Buy him.

Puck's mercurial appearances have this alarming effect on the players and audience alike...
Conjunctions, or what seem to be close approaches of planets in the sky, are common occurrences; they take place at periodic intervals as the planets orbit the sun at differing angular velocities. In May of 7 B.C., Jupiter, which astrologers of the period considered both a royal star and a lucky one, first moved close in the sky to Saturn, which was believed to influence the destiny of the Jews. Even more significant, this conjunction occurred in the constellation Pisces, where celestial events traditionally foretold incidents of great importance to Israel. In September of that year, Jupiter again closed...
...Chris Sproat at MIT's Hayden Gallery was reviewed critically in Ergo: "One can see the show in 10 seconds, the time it takes to walk across the gallery. The pieces do not differ significantly from each other except that in one case the conduct is curbed rather than angular, the shapes smeared in chalk rather than paint, etc. An electrician might want to take a closer look at the arrangements of the wires and junction boxes, but I don't think many others would want to bother...
