...objects that Wols photographs (like the hesitatingly named Untitled (Rolled Cheese)) are unidentifiable except as organic forms. Others, like Untitled (Lamp and Branch with Meat) and Untitled (Rabbit/Comb/Button), have been cast in roles that are alien to their natures. But in his most successful still lives, Untitled (Beans) and Untitled (Sausage and Potatoes), Wols takes his subjects out of our world, while retaining their physical presence (the shine of an overboiled potato, the turgid undulations of a bean's matte surface) and signifiers of the setting (the rounded edge of a table, the gleam of a pan's lid).

BMG rush-released their album Isola to the US in September, and Kent has been garnering rave reviews ever since...
...universe of L.L. Bean resembles Maine, with a suppressed memory of hard winters in the woods long ago. Bean's world, robustly cozy, is subliminally less privileged and more autonomously practical than Crew's: the young people are off-beautiful and went to state schools; no undercurrent eroticism here, no touching except for Mom's hugs at Christmas and Thanksgiving. Clothes are called "good-looking" or "comfortable," and at the most extravagant, as an inside joke, "wicked good." A rosy-cheeked geezer and crone trudge around in Thinsulate snow sneakers--this last is a touch of AARP, Mia Farrow...
