...space and form but also the dancer who can assemble or dismantle his tableaus repeatedly. Last night's five works performed by the Repertory Dance Theatre (RDT) from the University of Utah were a retrospective of dance tableaus that took the audience from ceilings of Italian basilicas to the modernist galleries of New York's Museum of Modern Art The artists as choreographers were more than competent; the artists as dancers, controlled and beautiful...
...often romped in Post's Woods hunting spring flowers, a pastime he later recalled in White Violets and Coal Mine. Even then he liked to sketch, and in high school recorded all the local wildflowers. After graduation he entered the Cleveland School of Art. There, it was not modernist battles raging in Paris or at New York's Armory Show that influenced him, but Chinese scrolls and Japanese prints. Soon he was making hundreds of nature studies. Many were developed in watercolors whose flat, abstract patterns still seem precocious for a young man all but oblivious of contemporary...
Precisely, says Moltmann. What makes man's future so full of promise is not the modernist's idea of upward, evolutionary progress inherent in man but, quite simply, Christ's death and Resurrection. No matter whether the Resurrection is verifiable as a historical event; that "something" happened to give early Christians their immense hope is evidence enough. In addition, argues Moltmann, while the Resurrection may be "the sign of future hope," the cross itself-through Christ's sacrifice-means "hope to the-hopeless...

From 1918 to 1925, when Paris held a mammoth International Exposition of Decorative Arts, the style was more Deco, which he defines as graceful, rococo and curvilinear. From 1925 until 1939, the look modified into Moderne, which was chunkier and more geometric, as in a silver tea service designed by Britain's Charles Boyton. In Winter's living room, a black and gold painted panel for a post-office...
...history, the Met's show is selective and flawed. Geldzahler has limited his exhibition to what he calls the New York School, by his definition a stylistic rather than a geographic limitation, and focused on what he sees as the central figures in the international modernist tradition. Given this definition, however, it is hard to see why he left out such major artists as Naum Gabo, Louise Nevelson, Sam Francis, Mark Tobey, William Baziotes, Richard Lindner, Larry Rivers, Marisol and Lee Bontecou. Even so, with 406 works by 43 artists, Geldzahler has assembled the most exhaustive survey ever...
