...Gregg Araki's The Doom Generation, where she played the leading lady's "eternal love slave" in a blond friz wig, Posey had to pay half her airfare. For Party Girl, in which she did a beguiling star turn as a club hopper with the improbable dream of being a librarian, she earned the sum of $75 a day. On another movie she lent the producers her credit card to charge rental cars. If Posey keeps on making movies, she could be broke by the time...
Thus it was that Kate deLima began what must be, barring intervention by a philharmonic Ad Board, her last season of HRDC glory, at the Agassiz Theatre last weekend. (Needless to say, the HRDC standbys were there in force, hugging and kissing away; oh, where is our Hedda Hopper, our Liz Smith?) She sang ballads and love songs and novelty songs, slow songs and fast songs, Weill and Porter and Loewe and Bernstein, in addition to Gershwin and, what she said was her favorite (there's no accounting for such things), Sondheim. She strode on stage in front...
Rockwell Kent, Edward Hopper, George Bellows, John Marin, Marsden Hartley--they all owed Homer something. His images of men, sea and mountain, and especially of women, were asexual, but that only made them more American, and saved them from the whiff of scandal that clung to Eakins. His mastery and fluency--in oil and especially in watercolor, which he was largely responsible for establishing as a serious medium in America--were the envy and secret despair of many an artist. The triumph of modernism after the 1930s, however, put Homer's reputation on the downgrade; he looked like an illustrator...
Kienholz's best tableaus remind you what a long shadow Edward Hopper cast on American art. (It is a fair bet, though, that Hopper would have found Kienholz's raucousness and sexual satire detestable.) The Beanery, 1965, his famous reconstruction of a grungy West Hollywood bar--a little slice of hell, in fact, full of endless chatter, where all the clients' heads are clocks whose hands have stopped for eternity at 10 p.m.--has its affinities to Hopper's Nighthawks. Even the silver G.I.s in Kienholz's great antimilitarist piece, The Portable War Memorial, 1968, have a spectral Hopperish sadness...
...appetite that powers his presidency and also frustrates it. He leaves the impression of a man who thinks conversation is a form of leadership and speechmaking a form of decision making. It's hard to imagine such a session with Dole, beyond a tour of the Senate bill hopper. He has said he hasn't seen the movies he attacks. He is allergic to rumination. The emcee for his rally in Biloxi, Mississippi, warmed up the crowd by chanting, "Dole's not dull. Dole's not dull." But Dole, whom G.O.P. guru Ken Duberstein dubbed the Comeback Adult, can counter...
