...THIS disregard for "what the world looks like" that many visitors to "Photography Unlimited" will no doubt find disturbing and even offensive. Those who admire the documentary realism of Edward Weston, Eugene Smith and Paul Strand--artists who sought the "perfect negative"--may find Karen Truax's handcolored photographs of surrealistic landscapes or James Friedman's mixed media collage made of multiple images of a woman's face, a hammer and a broken window, irritatingly enigmatic and uncommunicative...

He gets a chuckle out of the fact that Nixon may give a man a hard verbal...

I'm not sure whether the strength of the lyrics is more properly attributed to their translation or to Brel himself. Perhaps both. A strand of bitterness runs through the songs, and a singer tells us, "Jacques Brel is bitter, but that's because he's in rapport with the world...
