ART. Red Grooms.

The article focuses on recent developments in the field of art. Sudden glory is made objective and palpable in the assembled work of Red Grooms, and it is this quality to which one immediately responds as the elevator opens onto the fourth floor of the Whitney Museum of American Art, given over entirely to this artist's singular clownerie. The art of the clown differs from that of the caricaturist, in that the latter seizes on certain defects, and uses them in order to lower the subject through ridicule.
