...there is something more to her use of clay than the immediacy and malleability of the raw material. As the show's guest curator, Hayden Herrera, points out in her warmly sympathetic catalogue essay, clay is "the oldest material for art and an emphatically primitive, even primal substance." (The first sculpture of a man, as every reader of Genesis knows, was made from clay when God modeled Adam.) Clay is earth, and Frank's figures of sprawling nudes and entwined lovers, tenderly dislocated, are clearly meant to be seen as emanations of the earth, concretions of place and appetite...

Desai responded that both India and the U.S. were bound by "an unshakable commitment to the dignity of the individual" -an endorsement of Carter's position on human rights...
...their first Paris season in 1909. A dancer of great beauty who made her every gesture expressive, she was often contrasted with her more classical colleague, Anna Pavlova. After the Russian Revolution she fled to England, where she became the country's best-loved dancer, appearing as a guest artist through the 1920s.
