In his article for the October, 1967 edition of Art International, Kurt begins with lyrics by singer Chuck Berry and then proceeds to critique the "spray painting" work of Jules Olitski, and the catalog text accompanying an exhibition of Olitski's work. "Since an ambitious case has been made for Olitski in the history of color handling and spray techniques, it is worth pointing out that he wasn't that early, nor has he proven to be that influential. It may also be that he just isn't that good." Kurt then goes on to discuss an exhibition of works by Roy Lichtenstein; "One of the strongest formal motivations for the so-called comic-book style, is its great sense of immediacy and total impact."
