Schjeldahl reviews two shows at the Museum of Modern Art: a retrospective of Martin Puryear's wood sculptures and Georges Seurat crayon-on-wax drawings. He finds Puryear's work familiar, even nostalgic, and fleshes this out with a glimpse into the artist's personal history. But while his immense sculptures show obvious labor, Seurat's drawings contain a wealth of technical expertise that could easily go unnoticed by the viewer. Schjeldahl prepares the reader for the show and provides unique insight into the exhibits.
