With few exceptions, these range from amateur to sophomoric. The themes, where they can be wrested from the grip of abstraction, are familiar to the point of being tired, if not tiresome. Several collages depict the plight of the American Indians — a safe, moralistic topic that, unfortunately, is hardly relevant today. The cover image is a newspaper photograph of a polar bear evidently shot by the Eskimos. Sure, we sympathize with the bear, but then what? The real moral of the book is that just because a famous person picks up a brush, that does not make him an artist, and that mere self-expression does not necessarily produce good art.
