...search of an ideal could at least begin, Campbell thinks, by searching through the myths of antiquity, religion and modern literature. For the elite who can read and understand them, T.S. Eliot, James Joyce, Thomas Mann, among modern writers and poets, and Pablo Picasso and Paul Klee, among modern artists, have updated the ancient mythological motifs. Campbell and the other mythologists are, in a sense, providing the workbooks for the poets-the modern Daedaluses in turtlenecks. "It doesn't matter to me whether my guiding angel is for a time named Vishnu, Shiva, Jesus, or the Buddha," Campbell says...
...GREY LADY CANTATA. Huge papier-mâché puppets do a silent, hierophantic dance of death, as if Picasso's Guernica were unfolding in slow motion...
What do Kareem Abdul Jabbar, George Meany, Pablo Picasso and IBM have in common? Answer: their tendency to dominate their fields. And none is more dominant than IBM. The Jolly Gray Giant, as irreverent competitors call it, accounted for almost two-thirds of global computer revenues in 1971, and has been folding, bending and mutilating its rivals for years. Since 1970, two of the world's very biggest corporations, General Electric and RCA, have dropped out of computer manufacturing, each having lost more than $100 million to learn that IBM is hard to buck. But one gutsy company...
...many consider to be the foremost artistic personalities of our generation. I have always been fascinated by the fact that for some reason (ostensibly because of the political connotations of the art form), rock musicians have never been considered genuine artists--of the same order as a Casals, a Picasso, a Rubinstein, or (God forbid) a Beethoven or a Bach. Yet I would suggest that the work of the Dead compare favorably with the work of any of these. Listen to the early recordings. For the last six years, every concert something else--a musical manifestation of a unique juncture...
...Giacometti. Giacometti's portraits appear layered; white lines contouring a head on a dark background seem to be a stack of negatives. Naum Gabo also emphasizes space, but he works with three-dimensional materials. By winding strings around transparent plastic, he defines an ellipsoid within a rectangular boundary. As Picasso took the viewer through space with uncanny juxtapositions of his subject's position. Gabo constructs his space by pulling us into the elliptical void as well as asking us to follow the contours formed by the elegant curves of the plastic thread that area from the edges of the plastic...
