In contrast to this "hypochondriac" art with its Latin diagnoses, deAk celebrated a kind of artistic onanism and critical decadence in her first major Artforum essay, a 1981 analysis of Francesco Clemente titled "A Chameleon in a State of Grace" (a phrase so oddly pitch-perfect that the Guggenheim used it twenty years later in press materials for the artist's retrospective).
Although typical of her style, deAk's essay on Clemente stood outside her all-consuming preoccupation: the art of the street.
