...view Moholy within the limits of his paintings and constructions is to see but one aspect of an immensely versatile personality. Some of his more visionary notions were industrial designs-an engine fueled by sunlight, a motorless dishwasher, an infra-red oven that would cook dinner at the table. The creation of beautiful objects per se was never his intent. "I don't like the word beauty," he often declared. "Utility and emotion and satisfaction, those are more important words." At one point, he even foresaw a day when paint and brushes would be discarded, though he conceded that...
Serene Moonlight. In painting as in manners, Tanner was a conservative. Nonetheless, he enjoyed a remarkable popular success. Soon after he arrived in Paris, he began to paint Biblical subjects in Oriental settings.

Donleavy, William Burroughs, and Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita; Sally Kirkland, actress in several erotic and/or nude plays; Jacques Levy, director of Oh! Calcutta!, America Hurrah and Scuba Duba; Charles Rembar...
Later, in the Army, and afterwards, working in a paint factory, he saves his earnings to bet the horses. He spends all his spare hours on handicapping systems or figuring ways to beat the odds. Friends help. Nick Carter, a paint labeler, explains to him: "Never bet a slow starter from an inside post position in a sprint." Mulligan, a caricature Irishman who is handicap expert for the International News Service, instructs him in the folly of following "expert" advice-by not putting money down on his own published selections. "Do you think anybody who knows what...
