...songs have the sting of oblique autobiography. This has been his way since his first album in 1971: his 10 albums form a linear chronicle of the heart's glories and ravages. Until now Browne, 45, has remained a discreet diarist: specific about emotions, silent about names. But this time he has been undermined by the headlines. Browne has been reasonably forthright about his messy breakup with actress Daryl Hannah, which resulted in lurid stories of battery, which Browne denied...
This is partly due to its structure rather than following a linear course down the years, Keatley depicts the four women's lives through a series of short scenes cutting cinematically back and forth across the generations. Comparisons between them are consequently made deftly and without recourse to heavy-handed statement or explanation. A scene where Jackie, the second youngest of the four, tells her mother Margaret about her first sexual encounter is followed immediately by Margaret's discussion of her approaching marriage with her own mother. The gulf separating Margaret's experience in the '50s and Jackie...

The Hopi are nonstop fabulists. Their story belts form linear odysseys -- carved panel by panel, link by silver link...
Giacometti, by contrast, did not work in iron at all; every object by him in this show is cast bronze. He is included, presumably, because of his relations to Picasso through the Surrealist figure, because of his influence on Smith and because of the linearity of his style -- an obsessive thinning out of sculptural mass that is nevertheless modeled in a wholly traditional way on an armature, and never welded. It's true that Giacometti tended increasingly to think of sculpture as a means of connecting points in space, rather than of setting volume imposingly before...
...heads scattered on the ground of the canvas, with no gore but a lot of implied anxiety. Most of them started from small doodles, envelope-size, and the large paintings retain the cryptic and improvised look of drawings; in fact, since so much of Rothenberg's work is about linear figure and ground, it is hard to say where drawing leaves off and painting begins: for her, a drawing is something on paper, a painting something on canvas, and that's that. Her charcoal drawings, done with a fiercely scrubbed, hairy line that broadens out into areas of velvety black...
