...connecting octahedrons and tetrahedrons reminded him of the bulbous coarseness of what he considers an "almost obscene flower." Willie, a spiky, tilted, angular beast with three legs and no head, was meant to be "an ugly, hostile thing slithering around on the floor"; it was titled by a fellow sculptor in honor of the groveling husband in Samuel Beckett's play Happy Days. Not all of Smith's imagery is negative. One of his works is a simple 10-ft.-high, well-proportioned arch that invites the viewer to pass through. "It is like a threshold," says Smith...
Franklin D. Roosevelt has been dead for nearly 22 years, but it may take an other generation before anybody can decide on a suitable monument to him in Washington. The project began in 1959 with a nationwide competition that produced (out of 574 entries) a design by Sculptor Norman Hoberman for eight soaring concrete and marble tablets covered with Roosevelt quota tions.

When a killing apparently takes place next door, he hurls himself variously into 1) the chase, 2) the pneumatic embrace of Cover Girl Raquel Welch, whose acting ability ranges from busty to hippy, and 3) conversation with his dumb uncle (Eduardo De Filippo), who hasn't spoken to anyone in 50 years and communicates by blasting off homemade firecrackers...
Faceless, armless, toeless, sexless and potbellied, the figures could be store dummies, moon men, dolls, Oscars, or medical textbook diagrams. Ever since their creator, Sculptor Ernest Trova, 39, presented them as "falling men" on rotating wheels and bolted six together into a giant humanoid child's jack for a Famous-Barr department-store exhibition in St. Louis in 1964, the debate has raged over what the little men mean...
