...that each was conceived on French soil during this century. Everything from Bonnard's impressionism to mirror-mobiles by Argentinian Julio le Parc can be found in it. Regrettably, in cutting back the show to fit limited gallery space here in Boston, the very most recent works--pop, op, neo-surrealist, have born the brunt of sacrifice. The point of the show, and the point of Paris, is its newness, excitement and freedom. No one has ever accused Boston of the same...
Whimsical Inventory. Many such ventures soon expire from a sad lack of managerial experience. Begun with much enthusiasm three years ago, San Francisco's Hunter's Point Co-op was underfinanced and ill-managed, soon encountered gaps in its shelves as well as in its clientele. Last month Safeway Stores rescued it from near bankruptcy, moved in to revamp its whimsical inventory, which included a $3,000 supply of imported wines. In Los Angeles a similar post-Watts effort called the "Unity Market" is now just a memory. Says Watts's Rev. James Hargett...
...scramble and squabble. There's likely to be a spirited game of tennis at John and Bernadette Ong's place, followed by a few tall, cold vodka-and-tonics perhaps at Matt and Terry Gallagher's. The women can be depended upon to keep the co-op nursery school running smoothly. And thank heavens for Irene Saltz, without whose all-fired energy Tarbox would never have achieved such an effective League of Women Voters or Fair Housing Group. Quiet, lovely town, Tarbox. Or so it seems...
False-Teeth Collage. The average visitor, ushered through the five galleries annexed to the Winnetka chateau belonging to Retailing Executive Robert Mayer, 57, wishes he had brought along his sunglasses: more than 450 works of op, pop, ob, blob, kinetic and frenetic art jump, creep, twitch, jiggle or blaze from every conceivable wall and cranny. Some of Mayer's purchases are spectacularly fine, including Robert Rauschenberg's Buffalo II, a recent star at the Sao Paulo Bienal. Many others are simply spectacular. For, as Mayer is the first to admit, he has something of a glass...
...times a contrapuntist--essentially a fellow traveller with Bach. Because Indjic failed to convey this essence his performances of the two sonates were generally uninteresting and at times annoying. Nor did Indjic seem to be aware of the overall structure of the works. The first movement of Op. 111 is an uncanny mirror of Beethoven's temperament--taking ideas and treating them by turns with violence and lyricism. Indjic's inflections seemed motivated by custom, or perhaps were produced by rote, rather than by any internalized understanding of the metaphor. The superficiality became most evident in the absolute lack...
