...Fogg Museum is filling in at least some of the gaps with a show of its diametric opposite: geometric abstraction, drawn from a distinguished and systematic collection made by Patricia Phelps de Cisneros, who lives in Caracas, Venezuela, and is an ardent evangelist for South American abstract painters and sculptors. Cisneros has a severe and finely tuned eye, and her collection is remarkably free from nationalist bias. This is a very catholic collection. Of course, some of the artists in it, such as the Venezuelan Jesus Rafael Soto, 78, have exhibited quite often in the U.S. But most of them...
...killed or wounded thousands of protesters. His 1994 To You From Me shocked audiences with its explicit sexual themes?and the main character's obsession with her own derriere. Last year he had Korea's censors in conniptions with Lies, an S&M whipfest that begins with a kinky sculptor deflowering a schoolgirl. Lies was in-your-face auteur cinema at its rawest?the censors took the scissors to it, the art-house crowd loved it and average moviegoers, well, they stayed away...
...Computer Science, Dertouzos focused on developing easier-to-use technology.

The mere thought of the task was daunting, but DiBenedetto, an amateur sculptor and book collector, has no problem with long stories. He owns multiple copies of the Iliad - six or eight, he can't remember which. Einhorn didn't have some burned-out patronage stiff after him. The Unicorn was being tracked by a hard-boiled, law-and-order renaissance...
...possible monument to its obscure founder, in a waterfront park. Justice at last, you'd think: black artist does black pioneer. But nobody really knows what Du Sable looked like, so a "likeness" of him is out of the question. You'd think that would suit an abstract sculptor, which Puryear basically is. But as Puryear knows only too well, an abstract commemoration of Du Sable would invite the criticism that the pioneer was being reduced, as blacks in Western art so often have been, to a kind of "facelessness," an absence where a strong presence should...
