Within this erotic panorama, there are obviously immense differences. Surface appearances are deceptive. A play in the politest language can be more obscene in essence than a four-letter-word tirade. A sexual embrace depicted with art can be more innocent than a Botticelli Venus. A fully clad model in a TV commercial can exude more sexuality than a nude onstage...
...pair of double doors appeared a huge butterfly that seemed to fly when the doors were opened. Between the windows in the dining room stood a delicately tattooed nude flanked by her green shadow. The master bedroom was turned over to Ernst's Histoire Naturelle, a subliminally suggestive panorama filled with prickly plants, grasshoppers and a lazy anteater carrying its baby over a brick wall. Some of the most charming reveries were reserved for the bedroom of the Eluards' five-year-old daughter Cecile, who went to sleep each night amid visions of red-eyed fish, blue horses...
...other artist has ever utilized the unconscious as brilliantly as he. Full Fathom Five is not the largest or most significant Pollock at the current exhibition, but it has a special fascination, for it contains in embryo the later paintings of Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns.

Peckinpah is sometimes guilty of overkill himself. Action sequences-like an attack by the Villa forces on Mapache -occasionally destroy the continuity of the elaborate story, and flashbacks are introduced with surprising clumsiness. These, happily, are not typical moments.

Holden hasn't done such good work since Stalag 17, and the bunch -Ernest Borgnine, Warren Gates, Ben Johnson, Edmond O'Brien, Jaime Sanchez-all look and sound as if they...
...strip canvases because they were "constricting." Now he lays his canvas on the floor and paints or sprays the background on. Next he sprays on the dancing dervish loops and lines that race across them with an industrial airbrush. Finally, he cuts out the picture he wants from the panorama that he has created. He considers titles irrelevant. Red/ Red was called that because he wanted to make a picture redder and more intense than any he had made before. He has done...
