...Harvard men’s tennis team continued on a linear path to the NCAA tournament this weekend, easily defeating Ivy foes Penn and Princeton at home...
...incessant chain of increasingly complex visual premises and ideas, Bochner’s perspective series asks the viewer probing questions. Understanding linear one-point and two-point perspective as an invented illusionistic device or artistic tool, one will also observe that this ready-made and prefabricated formulaic system of perspective is unnecessary in photography as the image inherently depicts depth on its own. Nevertheless, Bochner applies the device of perspective to photography as a way of analyzing and looking at the artistic device itself, rather than actually using it.

Klee liked to make clear what sort of elements each painting was based on, as a composer states what key he is writing in.

These forms could represent the burning ships viewed from above, but their visceral power is that of erotic and sexual implication. Among the blots of solid paint are red linear shapes of double-pointed ovals, the universal symbol for the vagina and sexuality. With the inclusion of prominent erotic symbols among his narrative of warfare, Twombly constructs a inexorable link between violence, destruction and aggression, on the one hand, and sexuality, sensuality and love-making, on the other...
