GASTON CHAISSAC-Cordier & Ekstrom, 978 Madison Ave. at 76th. Chaissac is the town cobbler in Vix, France. He writes poetry, has been a friend of Dubuffet for 20 years. His art is marked by eccentricity and a sparkling imagination. With wash and wallpaper he wraps strange figures in startling ambiguity: one picture suggests both the Crucifixion and a scarecrow. In one room eight of his skinny wooden totems stand around and stare from odd, misshapen faces. Through June...
...CHOICE OF AMERICANS-Lewison, 50 East 76th. Just the thing for a hot day: Bierstadt's small Washington, D.C. in 1863 showing Conestoga wagons winding along the Potomac, Cole's English Landscape in which couples as well as cows find coolness by a stream, Moro's Beach at Cape Cod, Lawson's impressionistic Landscape in pinks and greens, Ochtman's Mill Pond, Casilear's New Hampshire ravine, an unusual treatment of texture in rocks, moss and wood. Through June...

He draws little bugs, squiggles, squooshes on Plexiglas or on translucent white canvases in the vacant perspective of flyspecked windowpanes, makes them move in startling patterns-as though the insect were still buzzing around. Through April...
LOUIS EILSHEMIUS-Lewison, 50 East 76th. He was by his own accounting, an author, dramatist, composer, librettist, globetrotter, womanologist, inventor and mesmerist. Eilshemius was also a gifted artist who suffered more than most from a fickle public. This centenary showing begins with a beautifully precise drawing done at twelve, runs through his stay in Samoa and concludes with 1909. when he was 45 and still unknown (he died in 1941). Also a collection of his letters, photographs, poetry. Through March...
WORKS FROM THE KYOTO HAMLET OF FINE ARTS-French & Co.. 978 Madison Ave. at 76th. In 1961 four young Japanese artists founded a colony in Kyoto, a city that for centuries has been the stronghold of traditionalist art. Their work is being shown for the first time in the U.S., together with that of three colleagues...
