...tend to live through and in response to other people." One consequence, she says, is that,"a vicious cycle has developed in which women who were not encouraged to grow up raised daughters who are not encouraged to grow up either." Friday adds that as "the first and lasting model" for their daughters, mothers all too often pass on clinging, dependent attitudes, a fear of sex and an impoverished sense of self...
...more orthodox figurative art, there is no lack. Philip Pearlstein, that master of the art school nude−the flesh always rendered cold, the formality of the body emphasized by photographic-style cropping−has produced one of the best paintings of his career in Female Model on Platform Rocker, 1977 -78, with its uneasily tilting floor line and stutter of shadows cast by the slats of the chair across the pale wall.

Still, Bird−when he talks−is frank enough to say, "It's great...
...myself as a stone carver," he writes. "I didn't want to remove material or change the essential nature." Yet he has not only cut and placed stones to clutter the plaza. He, like Harries, has decided his objects would look better bronzed. The effect, if one takes the model as an indicator of things to come, is terribly pretentious...
