...work of James Seawright, each containing a variant of the figure eight in sometimes flashing lights, while every now and then a taped voice croaks out, "Eight." A flight of wooden stairs covered in gold-colored carpet, entitled Euclid by Joe Goode. A creation called Die by Architect-turned-Sculptor Tony Smith, which he admits he ordered by phone. And why not? It is only a six-by-six-by-six-foot cube in slab metal-a piece of art on which the artist has not laid a hand...
Shoot Loud, Louder ...

Actually, the pulse of contemporary sculpture, as recorded by the Whitney's new curators, may be measured to the point of monotony but it is strong and rhythmic...
...more in the soul than in any scientific mood. For him, folk art with its romance and spiritual energy was a vital source, just as it was for his contemporary Stravinsky, who made brightly violent music, such as The Firebird, out of traditional Russian folk tales, and the sculptor Brancusi, who derived his mythical Maiastra bird from a Rumanian fairy tale...
