Only in A Place Apart by Wendy Perron was a choreographer successful in sculpting beautiful, interrelated movements: this at moments was a kind of graphic art. At moments too. Whittaker Sheppard's sketch of death, Incident at Dusk, communicated a horror and panic that was intended. Despite her confusion of narcissism with self-discovery, Lisa Nelson alone moved away from the dramatic toward the kine-esthetic, and she worked her cumulative effect, instead of striving for profoundity with each gesture...
...Masterpieces," which will be shown at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, pays little more than lip service to the aristocratic portrait and the studied landscape, the established prides and prejudices of English art. Instead, the era's sense and sentiment is often best il lustrated by the casual sketch, the minor masterwork by the relative unknown...

Full-page newspaper advertisements featured a sketch of a gold bar, under which the boldface copy read: "There are only two ways to keep it in the U.S.A. when you fly to Europe.
