...thought his worst. The reason was that no later performance could ever measure up to the exaggerations of praise cast on their early work. Meantime, Rauschenberg, mainly through his collaborations with the Los Angeles printmaking firm of Gemini G.E.L., had developed into one of the few major graphic artists in Amer ica. The print suited his liking for swift assemblies of images, and his rest less improvisation tested the limits of defining a print. The latest result includes some of the most remark able graphic images made by a liv ing artist: Rausehenberg's Hoar frost suite, including Mule...
Foreword by Wallace Stegner. 127 pages. New York Graphic Society. $65. Magnificent examples of the reverential grandeur in Ansel Adams' photographic art, reproduced under the perfectionist eye of Adams himself. At the age of 72 he is the pre-eminent black-and-white photographer of the American West.

...Curator James Wood writes in his catalogue essay, "To deal with Max Bill solely as a painter, sculptor and graphic artist is to make a distinction which he never made in his work: the distinction between Fine Art and the other areas of his activity." Bill has practiced as an architect; he has designed all manner of manufactured objects, from samovars to wall clocks; he was responsible for the shape of one the most elegantly pure pre-stressed-concrete structures in the world, the Lavina-Tobel bridge in Switzerland (1966-67). In design, Bill has been an acknowledged rationalizing force...
