Coke is now inextricably woven into the very fabric of 20th century American history. All of our fathers started taking all our mothers out "for a Coke" at the corner soda counter. GIs thoughout our history have punctuated their between battle rest with an ice-cold bottle of Coca-Coda...
...paper with lyric, impalpable precision in three schematic chalks (white, black and sanguine), conveying the fullest sense of Rubens' appetite for character studies delicately balanced between intimacy and formality. Viewing such work, one realizes that there is no Rubens (or Durer, or Mantegna, or Watteau) of / the late 20th century; what we see here are emblems of a tradition that ended, except for footnotes, with Picasso...

The three Cs are now reduced to two, if one can judge from the abysmal quality of Chia's New York show last winter--whimsies impacted into cliche by the stress of overproduction. This month Clemente is on stage, blanketing Soho...
