Almost 50 years to the day after Andre Breton commented that Sage's work 'must have been done by a man' Sage was not even listed by name in the surrealist art catalogs and none of her work was to be found in galleries or museums. Only a couple of solo shows and one painting at . No color plates Dawn D. Matheson When I buy a book about an artist I expect to see pictures.with color. The few small prints of the paintings are all in black and white. I was totally bummed.
