...never tell what will turn up in an old Rhine castle. In 1958, poking under the beds and into the closets of Neuwied Castle, a Knoedler Art Galleries executive found water colors and sketches that completed the most graphic record known of the look and life of the American West three decades after Lewis and Clark. Last week a third of the collection went on exhibition at Omaha's Joslyn Art Museum, the rest to follow...
...bronze sculptures that moved into Manhattan's Knoedler Gallery last week bore many of the familiar hallmarks of their famed creator-knobbly heads, voluptuously ballooning figures, forms locked within other forms like embryos inside wombs or heads inside helmets. But these similarities aside, Henry Moore's latest sculptures show him much changed since his last Manhattan show in 1954. His surfaces are rougher, his figures more ungainly, and almost every trace of his former elegance appears to have vanished. This may or may not be progress, but it is still a logical progression. Moore is such a consistent...
...Knoedler show, Moore sent only bronzes, mostly because he has become more and more interested in outdoor sculpture, and bronze is more durable than either wood or stone. He has also become interested in doing larger and larger sculptures, and that accounts in part for the roughness of the surface. "The bigger the forms, the bigger the tools," he says. "And the bigger the tools, the bigger the marks they leave." But the roughness also reflects the texture of rocks and mountains. The arresting Reclining Figure No. 1 is made up of two craggy shapes that resemble sections...
...unknown, a man so much alone that he has almost lost the gift of speech. Seemingly too late to give him any satisfaction, he is now becoming famous and solvent. He has had enormously successful shows in Swiss and Dutch museums. At his big retrospective at the influential Galerie Knoedler in Paris last fall, some of his paintings fetched prices up to $18,000. This week a similar show opens at Knoedler's in Manhattan...
...paintings at Knoedler's trace Van Velde's grim road. Gaunt figures loom in his early paintings, but in his later work they begin to decompose, and finally the portraits are hidden behind impenetrable strokescreens in which forms flow free of nature and colors are free of form. The colors slosh about in swoops and swirls; the paintings seem as gay as bunting...
