...wrote the lyrics and the music to all the songs in this package, and the music, at least, is intermittently promising. Ironically for an artist so insistent on the importance of an independent identity, her style at its best is strikingly similar to John Lennon's. Her band will come in with a bouncy drum and guitar introduction or a warm harmony of guitar and piano. Then inevitably she starts singing. It's really a shame...
...chiefly to the expert, but juxtaposed with some of the excellent later paintings and sketches also on display, it also adds a new element to any general understanding of the French master. Discovered by Phyllis Hattis, a graduate student in Fine Arts, the drawings were apparently done when the artist was 12 and 13, and have never been displayed before. They are mostly studies of plaster casts of Greek statues and represent the beginning of Ingres's "sculptural" style...
Another show opened at the Fogg Thursday: a collection of contemporary Chinese landscape paintings by C.C. Wang and a number of earlier works from Wang's own collection. Meanwhile, the Busch-Reisinger plans to inaugerate a show of drawings by the Danish artist Jan Groth today; the next major show there will be works of Ferdinand Hodler, a now "re-appreciated" German painter of the nineteenth century. That show moves here from New York at the beginning...
...this would suggest that the return of abstract expressionism, or the arrival of its offspring, is in the offing, and that the artist as personality may be about to emerge again from behind the anonymity of his work. Still--and De Antonio can't fail to show this much--there is a certain incongruity between say, the spare stripes or chevrons of Kenneth Noland and the explanations the artist delivers in a North Carolina drawl. Or, equally incongruous, the contrast between Frank Stella--sitting on the floor of his studio, dressed in an old sweat shirt and looking...
...really does show any part of the process of a painter painting is easily the most interesting of the film, but it hints at a kind of fatal demystification to which modern methods of working are particularly subject. The process of painting no longer seems like that of an artist creating from sheer, inner self. With Pollock there came the negation of the easel and, for the most part, the brush. De Kooning spent almost as much time scraping rejected versions of his Women off the canvas as painting them onto it. Here, Larry Poons--who looks like a football...
