...officer's insolent reply, be attacks him. The entire scene atop the peak, like the preceding climbing scenes, has the characters standing on rock against an entirely white horizon. The screen has been stripped down to the men and their material surroundings; rooted on the rock, they snarl at each other as light pours down on them. The reduced situation prepares for a direct conflict between them, but at the same time puts them in a more obvious relation to their real surroundings. The purity of this dramatic situation, direct conflicts between men and men's immediate relation...
...Podenas," one of the funniest heads, stretches to a peak in a tuft of hair. A foldable top lip falls to a point, the mountainous nose above and a wing collar binding neckless jowls threaten to envelop the pyramidal brain.

Onlookers are not always sure whether what they see is in fact either caustic or witty, and whether they ought to laugh or snarl. Claes Oldenburg dug a grave and refilled it, calling it "an underground sculpture." Paul Thek displayed a lifelike sculpture of himself as a cadaver. Christo Javacheff, 33, a be spectacled Bulgarian-born artist, expresses his wit by wrapping things-earth, hay, nudes, wheelbarrows and bottles...
