...fantasy lives. Several of the scenes, and Hoffman's part itself, recall his film role as a social dropout in The Graduate. Though the audience never sees him painting, Jimmy is an abstractionist and a dud at it. He is a glutton for humiliation. As "the only abstract painter in the Village who isn't getting laid," he keeps steady dates with a prostitute (Rose Gregorio) who can't refrain from telling him that her other clients are more sat -isfactory in bed than...

The delineators of heaven, on the other hand, have found the place safe but dreary. The horrendous Hieronymus Bosch leads the field as a demonic painter; his surrealism still makes an indelible if no longer credible impression. The plates are plentiful, inclining in the heavenly to cool greens and blues, and in the infernal nightmares to somewhat hotter tones. Critic Hughes, who is also a poet, has written the text, which stands in its own right...
