San Francisco Chronicle 43

Thurs, July 24, 1975

By Thomas Albright

Back to the San Francisco Art Dealers Association's Introductions shows...

Yuzo Nakano at the Upstairs gallery. 1407 Grant avenue, does aquatints combines with engraving, etching and so on, in a graphic style that is much beholden to Paul Wunderlich, but with a fragmented, blown-apart kind of imagery that is quite individual, if not terribly forceful. 

The photographs of Ken Collins that share the gallery are portraits and nude studies unified by a fine feeling for soft, contour-dissolving, pearlescent light. 

Zarina Hashmi, at the Malvina Miller gallery, 701 Greenwich street, combines length and loops of soft white string with white paper grounds, sometimes filling them with serial forms, sometimes employing a looser, more organic approach. They tend to be so subtle as not to exist.
