A group show that stars William Dole and Marie Anne Poniatowska. Dole is impressive as always with his unerring rightness through an enchanting mixture of Oriental detachment and Yankee horse sense. He is a master collage-maker in the traditional (already?) manner, never seeming to force the fragile medium. In Sound For a Foggy Night he allows a few elegant scraps and pale watercolor washes to occupy the whole page rather than become a compulsive exercise in pasting or collecting. Poniatowska’s drawings show her continuing interest in a diamond clarity. Her Dead Bird, for example, maintains a freshness of initial concept even though the technical process of bringing it about was obviously laborious. Others exhibiting are Bash, Higgins, Lincoln, Mayhew, Moyer and Quirt.
