...works from the V.W. van Gogh Collection at the Stedelijk Museum of Amsterdam; this country has seen few of them except in reproduction. Drawings constitute close to one half of the show. It was with drawings that Vincent started his career: they are tremendously powerful, he employs the same angular lines as in his paintings, and his later sketches achieve the same movement. But color is van Gogh's true medium...
Ashton regards his treatment of Persephone as "my most complex work so far." and it proved to be a radical transformation from the gentle, classically oriented manner of such Ashton successes as Cinderella and Sylvia. The choreographic style was severe, angular and so stylized that it sometimes seemed Ashton had turned to ancient Greek friezes for his inspiration. The dancers in the corps de ballet frequently were presented in profile, in friezelike groupings; at other times, they marched flat-footed with hands on one another's shoulders, or with arms raised and palms held flat. The legendary quality...
...unlike Mozart, Stravinsky's setting of three Latin psalms is angular, harsh and massive. The chorus is made to sing heavy, declarative lines, which must, for a performance to succeed, be delineated and articulated with considerable precision. And last night under Mr. Senturia's direction, the Glee Club and Choral Society sang the Psalms impeccably. Their tone, full and fortunately wholesome, was rigidly controlled throughout, attacks were impressively clean, and self assured...
...Scream. Gonzalez' work is basically representational. His early pieces are small and classic, colored with Moorish and North African influence. Later comes the great body of his work-angular, spiked, abstract constructions done in the early '30s, when, in collaboration with his friend Picasso, he found freedom of form and began his explorations of the play of shadow and light and the machine-age art of "drawing in the air'' with brushes of iron. These are his most ingenious pieces; so far as the development of sculpture is concerned, they are also his most influential...
...interview with the famous writer has been developed almost into a literary form by Paris Review. In recent issues Frederick Seidel draws Robert Lowell into revealing angular lights in his prismatic mind, and Olga Carlisle lets Ilya Ehrenburg reveal his rich store of platitude. In Contact the bitterly brilliant Philip O'Connor presents a series of capsule interviews with aging writers of the British Establishment, "gentlemen in and out of letters," ranging from Bertrand Russell to Poet-Essayist Herbert Read. And in Evergreen Robert Stromberg shows another side of the late maligned (and malignable) Louis-Ferdinand Céline...
