...collectors of the exhibition lead the viewers on their search. Different editions of the same bust, side by side, tantalize the eye with slight variations in a textured surface or a twisted bowtie. The show makes you look at sculpture in a new way. Among the crowd of gesticulating roguish faces, you try to distinguish Daumier's style and conception...
...FRENCHMAN'S sculptural imagination spans from serious to comic, from a relief of suffering refugees to a statue of the bizarre "Ratapoil," in a rippling tail coat, who symbolizes the evils of the Bonaparte government. It sweeps the eye around its angular limbs jabbing the air with elbow, beard, and a cane.

For Bernard Malamud has invented a mixed-up little anti-hero all his own: the schlemiel-saint-eyes on heaven, feet on the banana peel. He has appeared in short stories (The Magic Barrel) and novels (A New Life, The Fixer). The Malamud man wobbles between laughter and tears. One minute he can be all suffering profile, squirming against his private cross. The next minute one eye winks...
