...almost identical to the wavering calligraphy in his new paintings. But they do not seem so, being solid. It is a demonstration of how an artist's handwriting can change its expressive meaning by changing medium. One may doubt De Kooning's future as a sculptor-but not his unfading vitality...
Charles, a sometime sculptor, goes home because he psychologically cannot escape from his father and brings with him his friend Paul (Michel Piccolt) a philosophy professor.

Charles too is impressed into this pattern of dress and life, and into total submission to the father. Theo wants...

It bears a girl's name, Phrasikleia ("Renowned for Eloquence"), and the sculptor's hallmark "Aristion made me."

Aristion was a master artisan, known from old writing to have lived on the Aegean island of Paros about the third quarter...
