The Times wrote in a front-page story: He likes to work in small, cramped places. “Protection,” he says, fondly patting a close wall. Yesterday it was the bathtub. But don’t get the idea that the fellow is washed up. The artist was in California during preparation for a production of the ballet “Mad Tristan,” for which he was designing the set and costumes.
