...exhibits vary as widely in materials and forms as they do in age. There are model pottery cottages and figurines that date from the Bronze Age--heavy, clumsy clay and copper vessels. And then there are enchanting works like a bronze stag only 16cm. high, that dates from around 1000-700 B.C. and was discovered near Sevlievo. It is composed of the simplest forms--hardly more than a few cylinders, shaped to forms an abstraction of a stag, with a minimum of anatomical accuracy--and all the appeal of similar Scythian statuettes...
...landscapes. In one corner, the viewer can stare at the grayed elegance of a Gainsborough; in another, he is lulled by the peaceful countryside of a Constable. There is also a fine sampling of George Stubbs, including two huge works-both of lions variously attacking a horse and stag-that dominate one court. A large, dramatic Henry Fuseli painting, Dido on the Funeral Pyre-all swooning figures and swirling movement-anticipates the romantic period...
...that Take Off is sexist because of the striptease is analagous to calling Roots racis, because it depicted blacks as slaves. Whitaker's irritating inability to grasp the obvious is again demonstrated in his dismissal of Stan Berkowitz's Ass (incorrectly attributed to a Tom DeMore [sic] as "...a stag movie for donkeys, replete with all but completely graphic bestiality." The point he misses is, obviously, that "stag movies" and their ilk that depict women (and men) in a degrading and dehumanizing manner attract an audience of human jackasses. He calls James Broughton's The Bed "stereotypical and crude...
...give you an idea: a short called "Ass," by Tom DeMore, is built on the idea of a stag movie for donkeys, replete with all but completely graphic bestiality. A cartoon short called "Desire Pie," meanwhile, filmed by a group from the Carpenter Center, looks like an animated version of the amateurish depictions of coitus in bathroom stalls around campus (with a few touches reminiscent of The Yellow Submarine thrown in--for artistic merit...
...underlying principle of all successful sex magazines, from the relatively tame Playboy to the raunchy Stag and Cheri, hinges on the absolute degradation of women. Page after page shows women being strung up, knocked down, beaten with objects too numerous to mention, pierced in places too delicate to mention, and I would go on, but I have my roommates to consider. When Nora Ephron withdrew her name from a newspaper advertisement protesting Larry Flynt's conviction, I do not think she was especially offended by the "blue collar" sensibilities of Hustler. I do not think sophisticated French pronography would have...
