"You won't like it if you do see it," she promised. Who did she think she was? "The reason I am thought eccentric is that I won't be taught my job by a lot of pipsqueaks. I will not allow people to bore me. Nobody has ever been more alive than I. I am an electric eel in a pond full of flatfish...

Cast in bronze, the results are more invigorating than inspiring, but they...
...wondered about it. And experimented. I removed this head and replaced it with one that was more representational. It didn't work. This head is right for this figure." He adds defensively: "Some people have said I make the head unimportant. This is just not so. Because I think the head is the most important, I use the head to give scale to the rest of a figure. If one can give the human meaning of a head without using eyelashes, nostrils and lips, just reduce it to a simplicity-the angle at which it is poised...
