...distinction, but on the evidence of this cumbersome and vapid work, he has no talent for sculpture; he is there because the Spanish fixedly believe he is the successor to Picasso and Miro -- a nationalist illusion. The British pavilion, which in previous Biennales walked away with the show -- Frank Auerbach, Howard Hodgkin and the sculptor Tony Cragg -- contains a disappointing survey of recent work by one of the fathers of Pop art, Richard Hamilton, who split the Golden Lion, or main prize, with Tapies...
...writing and teaching have always ranged widely. Their base -- laid long ago at Harvard -- is the tradition of German philology, exemplified in America by the emigre scholar Erich Auerbach (1892-1957), that explores the modes and levels of representation in Western writing.

Sickert's "brown world" of rented rooms in Camden Town, with their plump, sweaty nudes, sprawled on iron bedsteads, dense and claustrophobic, runs into the younger painters', its solidly constructed Realism forming a bridge across the light turbulence of derivative avant- gardism in so much British...
Only the Celtics could tie all the green ribbons around this lucrative package. They had Auerbach, embodiment of the powerful and unchallenged system. They had Bird, the ultimate tactical weapon. They had a powerful media machine to disseminate Celtic propaganda in the name of Celtic Pride...
