...mechanical engineer, not a social engineer," he says in his guise as realist. "I was an English major at Bates. The nearest I came to formal science was a minor in geology. That's all right. The Teton Dam and the Hartford Civic Center were both designed by engineers. The state of Maine's made up of tinkerers -they'll tackle anything-and maybe that's what the world needs...
After Pertini disengaged from formal Socialist backing by withdrawing briefly, the Christian Democrats finally relented. On Saturday's 16th ballot, Pertini won with 832 votes-the largest total ever gained by an Italian presidential candidate. Although many right-wing Christian Democrats were disappointed by the outcome, few had any personal quarrel with Pertini. A native of Savona, on the Italian Riviera, he was imprisoned several times between 1925 and the end of World War II for his underground resistance work-first against Mussolini's fascist regime, later against the Nazis. He was co-founder of the postwar Socialist...
...newly reissued volumes show, Camus was not a mourner of the human condition but its celebrant. The two-volume Notebooks (Harcourt Brace Jovanovich; $3.95 each) follow the writer from 1935 to 1951 and neatly cleave the legend from the man. In the process they show why his formal works are as pertinent as the day they were written, a world...
This process begins with Frank's preferred material, clay. Her larger recumbent figures, like Lovers, 1974, are pieced together from a dozen separate elements, each made of a clay sheet fired in the kiln. The manipulated sheet, rather than the solid lump, is the basis of her formal syntax. The clay can be molded. It sags in pleats and thick drapes. It can be rapidly scratched, poked and cut. It retains an air of spontaneity, for Frank knows where to leave a shape before it loses its sketchlike character. Harder sculptural materials, like wood, metal or stone, connote resistance...
Born in London in 1933, the only child of a painter named Eleanore Lock-speiser, Mary Frank came to New York during World War II. At 17, she married the photographer Robert Frank. Although she had no formal training as a sculptor, she did study drawing in Manhattan during the '50s under Hans Hofmann, the doyen of abstract expressionist teachers. More important for her work, however, was a stint as a dance student with Martha Graham: the sense of significant gesture in Graham's choreography does seem to have affected the movement of Frank's own sculptures. The best...
