...Jean-Lue Godard's A Woman is a Woman, the first film in the aniversary series, seems highly atypical of the New Wave at first sight. The use of color and cinemascope depart from the amateurish, low-budget style of Breathless, and the large number of interior shots violates the New Wave maxim of "on-the-street" shooting. But these departures only point out the most important tendency in the New Wave movement: the willingness to experiment with any style, any technique, or any location. Godard uses his camera with the same abandon that characterized Breathless, and in his hands...
After Guillaume's death in 1934, Domenica married Jean Walter, whose vast Zellidja lead and zinc mines in Morocco made him one of France's wealthiest men. He and Domenica fleshed out the collection with some record-breaking purchases that would have met Guillaume's standards...
...collection has not always had so tranquil a home. In 1959 l'affaire Lacaze broke, filling headlines for weeks with accusations between Domenica and her adopted son Paulo, who said that her brother, Jean Lacaze, president of the Walter mines, tried to murder him to grab his inheritance. In 1961 the case was dismissed on grounds of insufficient evidence. Even last week Domenica preferred obscurity, not attending the exhibition's formal opening. Said she: "These paintings were made by artists whom Paul Guillaume chose because he believed in their genius. They belong first of all to those...
...combine mechanics and art. They are exploiting the human eye's capacity to perceive motion, and their work is the newest watchword on the fast-moving international gallery scene. Manhattan's avant-garde Jewish Museum is currently showing 102 works by kineticism's established practitioners, Jean Tinguely and Nicolas Schöffer. In Boston's Institute of Contemporary Arts, Matisse's grandson Paul is showing his Kalliroscope, an oozing suspension of metals in volatile liquids. An exhibition by kinetic experimenters will open in the University of California's art museum in Berkeley this March...
...JEAN TINGUELY, 40, a Swiss living in Paris, owes more to Dada than to the logic of the dynamo. His jittery, rattly, eccentric pseudo mechanisms spring from a view of man as the prisoner of cogs and cam wheels rather than their master. As the enfant terrible of kinetics, he exhibited his Homage to New York (once) in the sculpture garden of the Museum of Modern Art in 1960. Despite the efforts of the fire department, his machine destroyed itself. Since then, his bolt-and-nutty contraptions have been more durable. His Dissecting Machine (opposite page) is a gleeful guillotine...
