...unexpectedly, Stüssy for years has portrayed animals and men caught in a box, naked muscular forms that are sometimes bowed in resignation or despair, sometimes tensely flexed against their prison. In one series of paintings, the same rectangular form becomes the basis for a crouching, partially dissected Man Posing as an Animal, or a twisted animal in Resting Beast, or agonized Homo sapiens in Self-Wrestling. Following a visit last year to Chile, with which U.C.L.A. has a reciprocal art exchange program, Stüssy began painting women, a fact his sculptress wife, Kim, partly attributes...
...visitors so far-the viewer is the ultimate target of a projector. Sometimes film flutters futuristically above or beneath him; sometimes images lurk and flicker all around him, caroming off walls, whirring on blocks and prisms, on hexagons and cruciforms.

Unlike the rectangular, one-rooted molars of apelike creatures, for example, the Kenyapithecus' molars were triangular and had two roots. Its incisors were in line with its canines; ape incisors protrude in front of the canines. Kenyapithecus' chin projected slightly to the front of its teeth; an ape's chin...
