Anthony Caro, at the MFA through May. Using scraps of steel--pieces of pipe, ends of sheet-metal, bits of gridding--Caro engenders his own brilliant constructions. His sculptures render natural forms in vividly painted metal: "Prairie," for example, folds and undulates; a cornfield--but in yellow steel. The patterns of "Orangerie" belie the stasis of the dusky orange metal, seeming to move like the shadows of leaves.

The difficulty was in admitting that the war had been made by men and was being continued ad infinitum by them." Fussell rejects Louis Simpson's theory that infantry soldiers so seldom render their experiences in language because "language seems to falsify physical life and to betray those who have experienced it absolutely--the dead." Fussell reduces the whole problem to this: it's not that war is indescribable, but that it's "nasty," and this contradicted the sensibilities of the times...
