...metamorphic sculptures of Marie-Thérèse from the early '30s, involutes of swollen dreaming bronze in which cheek is conflated with buttock, mouth with vagina, have a wonderful tenderness and power as plastic surfaces. Even the plumpness of the bronze cast provides the suggestion of skin, while the slightly fuzzy texture of the metal further equivocates, not with the look, but with the feel of flesh. In some ways, the shapes of Marie-Thérèse, smooth and closed, are like the totemic bone forms of Picasso's grotesque anatomies of the '30s, the projects for immense figure-based...

Arlen has more benign intentions toward Madison Avenue. Throughout, he keeps a civil tongue in his cheek; Thirty Seconds derives its effects from self-revealing chatter and serendipitous comedy. A production conference deals with choosing among camels, llamas and kangaroos. Then comes the grandmother problem. "It seems to me," says one executive, "we have three or four grandmothers that are interchangeable-except, of course, for the black grandmother...
