...anxiety of which she speaks. It is a fundamental unrest that arises because a basic artistic philosophy-originally formulated by the pop artists-now produces increasingly sterile new work. None of the mutants of the virile genus popus-such as op or earthworks or photographic realism-seem sufficiently robust to beget new species in their turn...
Barrientos not only plops down godlike on Indian villages that have never seen a President; he is also one of the few blancos, or white Bolivians, fluent in the Quechua Indian language. He is robust enough to dance all night with pretty girls, hearty enough to eat as many as four lunches a day of peasant rabbit stew and peppers accompanied by home made corn liquor.

A dry-fuck life, Heimert would call it, if he weren't a shade too decorous to make a comment like that from any podium more public than a dinner table. His own style is so much more intense, robust, youthful, maybe in the way Falstaff's was and maybe in a more indestructible way that the fifties can only be a metaphor for his condition, not the cause...
