Such a fellow is Britain's Anthony Caro, 42, whose works suggest an explosion in a boiler factory. His Month of May, a star attraction at London's current sculpture triennial in Battersea Park, is a magenta, orange and green collection of huge aluminum jackstraws seemingly flung into the air over two chunks of I beam. There is no pedestal, no impressive volume filled with bronze-and no relation to human scale. "I wanted to make sculpture that is as meaningful in a room as a person," says Caro. So he shunned anatomically suggestive totems as "people substitutes...
This Inhuman Clay. Caro is amply qualified to pioneer the engineer's esthetic in art. Son of a stockbroker, he took an engineering degree at Christ's College, Cambridge in 1944, then studied art for six years, mostly at the Royal Academy Schools, before serving a two-year apprenticeship under Henry Moore. Not until 1957 did he have a one-man show in London of savage figurative bronzes, which drove a critic to gasp, "One almost wishes them back into clay." Caro gave up modeling in clay as "lifeless." A trip to the U.S. opened his eyebeams...
Lichtenstein was touted early as a potential winner; indeed his dealer, Leo Castelli, went hoarse lobbying for him. But then so were Sweden's Oyvind Fahl-strom, who makes pop cutouts, Britain's Sculptor Anthony Caro, who studied with Henry Moore, and Germany's young expressionist Horst Antes, who mashes anatomy into a strudel of bright colors. Actually, in sculpture at least, the laurels were split between two rather conservative choices: Etienne Martin, 53, of France, who was rumored to have received a helping hand from Culture Minister Andre Malraux, and Robert Jacobsen, 54, of Denmark...
...name several who come immediately to mind from the first term: Bob Caro, general assignment reporter for Newsday, concentrated much of his effort and classes in the English department on such trade-related subjects as "The Romans in America"; Ralph Hancox, editor of the Peterborough, Ontario, Examiner, devoted most of his time to French and a social relations course; former New York Herald Tribune Moscow reporter David Miller could be found as often in fine arts and music courses as in those related to the Soviet Union; and one of this year's specialists among the Fellows never set foot...
RICHARD TUCKER: THE ART OF BEL CANTO (Columbia). The great American tenor sings the ravishingly beautiful songs and arias (Caro mio ben, Gid il sole dal Gange) that constitute the canon of bel canto. His vocal line, the essential element in bel canto, is lyrical, firm and without breaks. There are more sensual interpretations of the art, but few more satisfying...
