...will do drawings," wrote De Kooning's friend and biographer, Critic Thomas B. Hess, "on transparent tracing paper, scatter them one on top of the other, study the composite drawing that appears on top, make a drawing from this, reverse it, tear it in half, and put it on top of still another drawing." What this show indicates most clearly about De Kooning's enormous output as draftsman is that he managed to synthesize the painstaking approach to drawing that he learned as an art student in Rotterdam with the demands of spontaneity, which, by temperament, he deeply...
...finest illustrations of all scatter the only verse narrative in Beyond the Looking Glass. Christina Rossetti wrote this text, called "Goblin Market," and Laurence Housman made the wood cuts. Rossetti was an excellent religious poet with near a thousand orthodox Christian poems to her credit, but "Goblin Market" is a far cry from pious spirituality.

Many of these people are being held in more than 250 detention and torture facilities that scatter the countryside for the first time since Nazi German occupation. Every little town and village has one; there are well known camps on the islands of Laros and Yiaros; six such facilities are tucked into the streets of Athens...
